The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, 19801, and the name of the registered agent whose office address will be the same as the registered office is The Corporation Trust Company.

ARTICLE THREE

The nature and purpose of the business of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”).

ARTICLE FOUR

SECTION 1. Authorized Shares. The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 13,250,000,000 shares, consisting of two classes as follows:

(a) 12,500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); and

(b) 750,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

The Common Stock and the Preferred Stock shall have the designations, rights, powers and preferences and the qualifications, restrictions and limitations thereof, if any, set forth below.

SECTION 2. Common Stock. (a) Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL or this amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as it may be amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, all of the voting power of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be vested in the holders of the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote for each share held by such holder on all matters voted upon by the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

(b) Except as otherwise required by law or expressly provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Common Stock shall have the same powers, rights and privileges and shall rank equally, share ratably and be identical in all respects as to all matters.

(c) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding and to the other provisions of applicable law and this Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive equally, on a per share basis, such dividends and other distributions in cash, securities or other property of the Corporation if, as and when declared thereon by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor.

(d) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of the Corporation’s debts and any other payments required by law and amounts payable upon shares of Preferred Stock ranking senior to the shares of Common Stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, if any, the remaining net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed to the holders of shares of Common Stock and the holders of shares of any other class or series ranking equally with the shares of Common Stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, equally on a per share basis. A merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity, or a sale or conveyance of all or any part of the assets of the Corporation (which shall not in fact result in the liquidation of the Corporation and the distribution of assets to its stockholders) shall not be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Paragraph (d).

(e) No holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to preemptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights.

SECTION 3. Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to provide, by resolution or resolutions for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and with respect to each series, to establish the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the voting powers (if any), designations, powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, of the shares of each such series, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The powers (including voting powers), preferences, and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the approval of the Board of Directors and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, without the separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock as a class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

ARTICLE FIVE

SECTION 1. Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 2. Number of Directors; Voting. Subject to any rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding to elect additional directors under specified circumstances or otherwise, the number of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the number of directors shall be not fewer than five directors and not more than eighteen directors, each of whom shall be a natural person. Each director shall be entitled to one vote with respect to each matter before the Board of Directors, whether by meeting or pursuant to written consent.

SECTION 3. Election and Term of Office. The directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, shall be elected at each annual meeting

of stockholders, and each director shall hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and until their successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, each director shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election at any such annual meeting at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that, if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at such annual meeting. For purposes of this Section 3, “a majority of the votes cast” shall mean that the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that director’s election (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as votes cast either “for” or “against” any director’s election). Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation (as they may be amended, the “Bylaws”) shall so provide.

SECTION 4. Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any newly created directorship on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors or any vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors, however occurring, shall be filled only by resolution of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding) and may not be filled in any other manner. A director appointed to fill a newly created directorship or vacancy shall hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and until their successor is duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the authorized number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

SECTION 5. Removal and Resignation of Directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding and notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, directors may be removed with or without cause upon the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting Stock”), at a meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders called for that purpose. Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the Corporation.

SECTION 6. Rights of Holders of Preferred Stock. During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, have the right to elect additional directors, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director) and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 7. Advance Notice. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws.

ARTICLE SIX

SECTION 1. Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader exculpation than permitted prior thereto), no director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, respectively.

SECTION 2. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the Corporation (and any other persons to which the DGCL permits the Corporation to provide indemnification) through provisions in the Bylaws, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL.

SECTION 3. Amendment of this Article. No amendment, repeal or modification of this ARTICLE SIX, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this ARTICLE SIX, shall (a) adversely affect any right or protection of a director, officer or agent of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification with respect to any act, omission or other matter occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or modification or (b) increase the liability of any director, officer or agent of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director, officer or agent occurring prior to, such amendment, repeal or modification.

ARTICLE SEVEN

SECTION 1. Action by Written Consent. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, for so long as J&J Beneficially Owns at least a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of Voting Stock, any action which is required or permitted to be taken by the Corporation’s stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock of the Corporation having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of the Corporation’s stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. If J&J no longer Beneficially Owns at least a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of Voting Stock, any action which is required or permitted to be taken by the Corporation’s stockholders may be taken only at a duly called annual or special meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders and the Corporation’s stockholders shall not have the ability to consent in writing without a meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, unless expressly prohibited in the resolutions creating such series of Preferred Stock.

SECTION 2. Special Meetings of Stockholders. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by or at the direction of (i) the Chair of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a written resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of the majority of the total number of directors that the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies or (iii) the Chief Executive Officer. The stockholders of the Corporation shall not have the ability to call a special meeting of stockholders. Any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

SECTION 3. No Cumulative Voting. No stockholder shall be entitled to exercise any right of cumulative voting.

ARTICLE EIGHT

SECTION 1. Certain Relationships and Transactions. In recognition and anticipation that (i) the Corporation will not be a wholly owned subsidiary of J&J and that J&J may continue to be a significant stockholder of the Corporation, (ii) directors, officers or employees of J&J may serve as directors, officers or employees of the Corporation, (iii) J&J may engage in the same, similar or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, (iv) J&J may have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunity as the Corporation and the Affiliated Companies and (v) as a consequence of the foregoing, it is in the best interests of the Corporation that the respective rights and obligations of the Corporation and of J&J, and the duties of any directors, officers or employees of the Corporation who are also directors, officers or employees of J&J, be determined and delineated in respect of any transactions between, or opportunities that may be suitable for both, the Corporation and the Affiliated Companies, on the one hand, and J&J, on the other hand, the sections of this ARTICLE EIGHT shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, regulate and define the conduct of certain of the business and affairs of the Corporation in relation to J&J and the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation as they may involve J&J and its directors, officers or employees, and the power, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its directors, officers, employees and stockholders in connection therewith.

As used in this Certificate of Incorporation, (i) “J&J” shall mean Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation, any and all successors to Johnson & Johnson by way of merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or equity, and any and all corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies, associations and other entities (A) in which Johnson & Johnson owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock, voting power, partnership interests or similar ownership interests, (B) of which Johnson & Johnson otherwise directly or indirectly controls or directs the policies or operations or (C) that would be considered subsidiaries of Johnson & Johnson within the meaning of Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X of the general rules and regulations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), now or hereafter existing; provided, however, that the term “J&J” shall not include the Corporation or any entities (x) in which the Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock, voting power, partnership interests or similar ownership interests, (y) of which the Corporation otherwise directly or indirectly controls or directs the policies or operations or (z) that would be considered subsidiaries of the Corporation within the meaning of Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X of the general rules and regulations under the Securities Act now or hereafter existing (such entities described in clauses (x), (y) and (z), the “Affiliated Companies”) and (ii) the term “Beneficially Own” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder.

SECTION 2. Certain Agreements and Transactions Permitted. The Corporation may from time to time enter into and perform, and cause or permit any Affiliated Company to enter into and perform, one or more agreements (or modifications or supplements to pre-existing agreements) with J&J pursuant to which the Corporation or an Affiliated Company, on the one hand, and J&J, on the other hand, agree to engage in transactions of any kind or nature with each other or agree to compete, or to refrain from competing or to limit or restrict their competition, with each other, including to allocate, and to cause their respective directors, officers or employees (including any who are directors, officers or employees of both) to allocate, opportunities between them or to refer opportunities to each other. Subject to Section 4 of this ARTICLE EIGHT, no such agreement, or the performance thereof by the Corporation or any Affiliated Company, or J&J, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be considered contrary to any fiduciary duty that any director, officer or employee of the Corporation or any Affiliated Company who is also a director, officer or employee of J&J may owe or be alleged to owe to J&J or any such Affiliated Company, or to any stockholder thereof, or any legal duty or obligation J&J may be alleged to owe on any basis, notwithstanding the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation stipulating to the contrary.

EIGHT, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no director, officer or employee of the Corporation who is also a director, officer or employee of J&J shall have or be under any fiduciary duty to the Corporation or any Affiliated Company to refer any corporate opportunity to the Corporation or any Affiliated Company or to refrain from acting on behalf of the Corporation or any Affiliated Company or of J&J in respect of any such agreement or transaction or performing any such agreement in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 3. Authorized Business Activities. Without limiting the other provisions of this ARTICLE EIGHT, J&J shall have no duty to communicate information regarding a corporate opportunity to the Corporation or to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as the Corporation or any Affiliated Company, (ii) doing business with any client, customer or vendor of the Corporation or any Affiliated Company or (iii) employing or otherwise engaging any director, officer or employee of the Corporation or any Affiliated Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, except as provided in Section 4 of this ARTICLE EIGHT, no officer, director or employee of the Corporation or any Affiliated Company who is also a director, officer or employee of J&J shall be deemed to have breached their fiduciary duties, if any, to the Corporation or any Affiliated Company solely by reason of J&J’s engaging in any such activity.

SECTION 4. Corporate Opportunities. Except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Corporation and J&J, in the event that a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or an Affiliated Company who is also a director, officer or employee of J&J acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both the Corporation or an Affiliated Company, on the one hand, and J&J, on the other hand, (i) such director, officer or employee shall have no duty to communicate or present such opportunity to the Corporation or any Affiliated Company and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, not be liable to the Corporation, any Affiliated Company or any of their respective stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or any Affiliated Company (or have been deemed to have failed to act in good faith or in the best interests of the Corporation or any Affiliated Company) by reason of the fact that (A) such director, officer or employee directs such opportunity to J&J or otherwise does not present such opportunity to the Corporation or an Affiliated Company or (B) J&J pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another person or does not otherwise present such opportunity to the Corporation or an Affiliated Company and (ii) the Corporation, on behalf of itself and the Affiliated Companies and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, renounces any interest or expectancy in such opportunity and waives any claim that such opportunity constituted a corporate opportunity that should be presented to the Corporation, in each of cases (i) and (ii), so long as such opportunity was not expressly offered to such person solely in their capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation.

The action of any director, officer or employee of J&J, the Corporation or any Affiliated Company taken in accordance with, or in reliance upon, the foregoing provisions of this Section 4 in entering into or performing any agreement, transaction or arrangement is deemed and presumed to be fair to the Corporation.

SECTION 5. Delineation of Indirect Interests. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no director, officer or employee of the Corporation or any Affiliated Company shall be deemed to have an indirect interest in any matter, transaction or corporate opportunity that may be received or exploited by, or allocated to, J&J, merely by virtue of being a director, officer or employee of J&J, unless such director, officer or employee’s role with J&J involves direct responsibility for such matter, in their role with J&J, such director, officer or employee exercises supervision over such matter, or the compensation of such director, officer or employee is materially affected by such matter. Such director, officer or employee’s compensation shall not be deemed to be materially affected by such matter if it is only affected by virtue of its effect on the value of J&J capital stock generally or on J&J’s results or performance on an enterprise-wide basis.

SECTION 6. Certain Matters Deemed Not Corporate Opportunities. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE EIGHT, the Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation or any of the Affiliated Companies in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity pursued by or at the direction of J&J or any director, officer or employee of J&J that (i) is not in the line of the Corporation’s business, (ii) the Corporation is not financially able, contractually permitted or legally able to undertake or (iii) is not of practical advantage to the Corporation.

SECTION 7. Notice and Consent. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation (including shares of Common Stock) shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this ARTICLE EIGHT.

SECTION 8. No Expansion of Duties. Nothing in this ARTICLE EIGHT creates or is intended to create any fiduciary duty on the part of J&J, the Corporation, any Affiliated Company, or any stockholder, director, officer or employee of any of them, that does not otherwise exist under applicable law, and nothing in this ARTICLE EIGHT expands any such duty of any such person that may now or hereafter exist under applicable law.

SECTION 9. Termination. The foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE EIGHT shall terminate, expire and have no further force and effect on the first date that (x) J&J ceases to Beneficially Own any shares of capital stock of the Corporation and (y) no person who is a director, officer or employee of J&J is also serving as a director or officer of the Corporation. No amendment, repeal, modification, termination or expiration of this ARTICLE EIGHT, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this ARTICLE EIGHT, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this ARTICLE EIGHT in respect of any matter occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, modification, termination or adoption.

ARTICLE NINE

SECTION 1. Amendments to the Bylaws. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, in furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law, the Bylaws may be amended, altered or repealed and new bylaws made by (i) the Board of Directors or (ii) in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required herein (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock), by the Bylaws or applicable law, the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, at a meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders called for that purpose.

SECTION 2. Amendments to this Certificate of Incorporation. The Corporation reserves the right, from time to time, to amend, alter or repeal any provision of, or add new provisions to, this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed in the DGCL, and all rights, preferences, privileges and powers of any kind conferred upon any director or stockholder of the Corporation by this Certificate of Incorporation are conferred subject to such right.

ARTICLE TEN

SECTION 1. Exclusive Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the DGCL, or as to

which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine (each, a “Covered Proceeding”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provision, including for any “derivative action”, will not apply to suits to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other claim for which there is exclusive federal or concurrent federal and state jurisdiction. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act.

SECTION 2. Personal Jurisdiction. If any action the subject matter of which is a Covered Proceeding is filed in a court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, where permitted in accordance with Section 1 of this ARTICLE TEN, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (each, a “Foreign Action”), in the name of any person or entity (a “Claiming Party”) without the prior written approval of the Corporation, such Claiming Party shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, where applicable, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, in connection with any action brought in any such courts to enforce Section 1 of this ARTICLE TEN (an “Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such Claiming Party in any such Enforcement Action by service upon such Claiming Party’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such Claiming Party.

SECTION 3. Notice and Consent. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation (including shares of Common Stock) shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this ARTICLE TEN.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

If any provision or provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including each portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Exhibit 3.2

AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS

OF KENVUE INC.

A Delaware corporation

(Adopted as of May 3, 2023)

Kenvue Inc. (the “Corporation”), pursuant to the provisions of Section 109 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), hereby adopts these Amended and Restated Bylaws (these “Bylaws”), which restate, amend and supersede the bylaws of the Corporation in their entirety as described below:

ARTICLE ONE

OFFICES

SECTION 1. Offices. The Corporation may have an office or offices other than its registered office at such place or places, either within or outside the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require. The registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware shall be as stated in the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation as then in effect (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).

ARTICLE TWO

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

SECTION 1. Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors may designate a place, if any, either within or outside the State of Delaware, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of the stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as described in ARTICLE TWO, Section 14 of these Bylaws in accordance with Section 211(a)(2) of the DGCL.

SECTION 2. Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held at such date and time as is specified by resolution of the Board of Directors. At the annual meeting, stockholders shall elect directors and transact such other business as properly may be brought before the annual meeting pursuant to Section 11 of this ARTICLE TWO of these Bylaws. The Board of Directors may postpone or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may only be called in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice. The Board of Directors may postpone or cancel any special meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors, the Chair of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer.

SECTION 4. Notice of Meetings. (a) Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take action at a meeting, notice of the meeting shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation. Such notice shall state the place, if any, date and time of the meeting of the stockholders, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders not physically present may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for

determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

(b) Form of Notice. All such notices shall be delivered in writing or in any other manner permitted by the DGCL. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at their address as the same appears on the records of the Corporation. If given by courier, such notice shall be deemed given at the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address. Subject to the limitations of Section 4(d) of this ARTICLE TWO, if given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered: (i) if given by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice by facsimile, (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address, (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (x) such posting and (y) the giving of such separate notice and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, the transfer agent of the Corporation or any other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(c) Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the stockholder entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission given by the stockholder entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation need be specified in any waiver of notice of such meeting. Attendance of a stockholder of the Corporation at a meeting of such stockholders in person or by proxy shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and does not further participate in the meeting.

(d) Notice by Electronic Transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders of the Corporation pursuant to the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice to stockholders of the Corporation given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by electronic mail complying with the DGCL or other form of electronic transmission which other form has been consented to by the stockholder of the Corporation to whom the notice is given. Any such consent is revocable by the stockholder by notice to the Corporation. Notice may not be given by electronic transmission from and after the time: (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation; and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. For purposes of these Bylaws, the term “electronic transmission” shall have the meaning provided in Section 232 of the DGCL.

SECTION 5. List of Stockholders. The Corporation shall prepare, no later than the 10th day before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder. Nothing contained in this section shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days ending on the day

before the meeting date: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network; provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided by law, the list shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 5 of ARTICLE TWO or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

SECTION 6. Quorum. The holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If a quorum is not present, the chair of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another time and/or place from time to time until a quorum shall be present in person or represented by proxy. When a specified item of business requires a vote by a class or series (if the Corporation shall then have outstanding shares of more than one class or series) voting as a separate class or series, the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding stock of such class or series shall constitute a quorum (as to such class or series) for the transaction of such item of business. A quorum once established at a meeting shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

SECTION 7. Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place. When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken (or are otherwise provided in any other manner permitted by the DGCL). At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and, except as otherwise required by law, shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such adjourned meeting and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

SECTION 8. Vote Required. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding, when a quorum has been established, all matters other than the election of directors shall be determined by the affirmative vote of the majority of voting power of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter, unless by express provisions of an applicable law, the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Corporation’s securities are listed, any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws a minimum or different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the vote required on such matter.

SECTION 9. Voting Rights. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding, except as otherwise provided by the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot.

SECTION 10. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary a revocation of the proxy or by delivering a new duly authorized proxy bearing a later date. In the event the Corporation receives proxies that direct votes in favor of disqualified or withdrawn nominees for the Board of Directors, such votes for such disqualified or withdrawn nominees in such proxies will be treated as abstentions. To the extent any stockholder uses its own proxy card in connection with directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders, such proxy card must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 11. Advance Notice of Stockholder Business and Director Nominations.

(a) Business at Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

(i) Only such business (other than nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors, which must be made in compliance with and are governed exclusively by Section 11(b) of this ARTICLE TWO) shall be conducted at an annual meeting of the stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting (A) as specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof or (C) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (1) was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in Section 11(a)(iii) of this ARTICLE TWO, on the record date for determination of stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and at the time of the annual meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (3) complies with the notice procedures set forth in Section 11(a)(iii) of this ARTICLE TWO. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause (C) of this Section 11(a)(i) of ARTICLE TWO shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose such business (other than business included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(ii) For any business (other than nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors, which must be made in compliance with and are governed exclusively by Section 11(b) of this ARTICLE TWO) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form as described in Section 11(a)(iii) of this ARTICLE TWO to the Secretary; any such proposed business must be a proper matter for stockholder action and the stockholder and the Stockholder Associated Person (as defined in Section 11(e) of this ARTICLE TWO) must have acted in accordance with the representations set forth in the Solicitation Statement (as defined in Section 11(a)(iii) of this ARTICLE TWO) required by these Bylaws. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice for such business must be delivered and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation in proper written form not less than 120 days and not more than 150 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Corporation first released its proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if and only if the annual meeting is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting and ends 30 days after such first anniversary, or if no annual meeting

was held in the preceding year, such stockholder’s notice must be delivered by the 10th day following the day the Public Announcement (as defined in Section 11(e) of this ARTICLE TWO) of the date of the annual meeting is first made. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Notices delivered pursuant to this Section 11(a) of ARTICLE TWO will be deemed received on any given day only if received prior to the Close of Business on such day (and otherwise shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day).

(iii) To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each matter of business the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting:

(A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting (including the specific text of any resolutions or actions proposed for consideration and, if such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the specific language of the proposed amendment) and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting,

(B) the name and address of the stockholder proposing such business, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, the name and address (if different from the Corporation’s books) of such proposing stockholder, and the name and address of any Stockholder Associated Person,

(D) a description of all arrangements or understandings between or among such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person and any other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder, any Stockholder Associated Person or such other person or entity in such business,

(E) a representation that such stockholder is a stockholder of record of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting,

(F) any other information related to such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies or consents (even if a solicitation is not involved) by such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules, regulations and schedules promulgated thereunder, and

(G) a representation as to whether such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person intends or is part of a group which intends to deliver a proxy

statement and/or form of proxy to the holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve the proposal or otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of the proposal (such representation, a “Solicitation Statement”).

In addition, any stockholder who submits a notice pursuant to Section 11(a) of this ARTICLE TWO is required to update and supplement the information disclosed in such notice, if necessary, in accordance with Section 11(d) of this ARTICLE TWO.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business (other than nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors, which must be made in compliance with and are governed exclusively by Section 11(b) of this ARTICLE TWO) shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11(a) of this ARTICLE TWO.

(b) Nominations at Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

(i) Only persons who are nominated in accordance and compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11(b) of ARTICLE TWO shall be eligible for election to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.

(ii) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (A) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof or (B) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (1) was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 11(b) of ARTICLE TWO, on the record date for determination of stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and at the time of the annual meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (3) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 11(b) of ARTICLE TWO. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause (B) of this Section 11(b)(ii) of ARTICLE TWO shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting of stockholders. For nominations to be properly brought by a stockholder at an annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form as described in Section 11(b)(iii) of this ARTICLE TWO to the Secretary and the stockholder and the Stockholder Associated Person must have acted in accordance with the representations set forth in the Nomination Solicitation Statement required by these Bylaws. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice for the nomination of persons for election to the Board of Directors must be delivered and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation in proper written form not less than 120 days and not more than 150 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Corporation first released its proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if and only if the annual meeting is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting and ends 30 days after such first anniversary, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, such stockholder’s notice must be delivered by the 10th day following the day the Public Announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Notices delivered pursuant to this Section 11(b) of ARTICLE TWO will be deemed received on any given day only if received prior to the Close of Business on such day (and otherwise shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day). For the

avoidance of doubt, a stockholder shall not be entitled to make additional or substitute nominations following the expiration of the time periods set forth in these Bylaws.

(iii) To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(A) as to each person that the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation, (1) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (2) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (3) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are directly or indirectly owned beneficially or of record by the person, (4) the date such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition and (5) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies or consents for a contested election of directors (even if an election contest or proxy solicitation is not involved) or is otherwise required pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules, regulations and schedules promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in any proxy statement and other proxy materials for the applicable meeting as a nominee of the stockholder, if applicable, and to serving as a director if elected),

(c) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of meeting. Only persons who are nominated in accordance and compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11(c) of ARTICLE TWO shall be eligible for election to the Board of Directors at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected.

In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at a special meeting (or in the case of a stockholder giving notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the special meeting on behalf of such beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such special meeting. Notices delivered pursuant to this Section 11(c) of ARTICLE TWO will be deemed received on any given day only if received prior to the Close of Business on such day (and otherwise shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day).

To be in proper written form, such stockholder’s notice shall set forth all of the information required by, and otherwise be in compliance with, Section 11(b)(iii) of this ARTICLE TWO. In addition, any stockholder who submits a notice pursuant to this Section 11(c) of ARTICLE TWO is required to update and supplement the information disclosed in such notice, if necessary, in accordance with Section 11(d) of this ARTICLE TWO and shall comply with Section 11(f) of this ARTICLE TWO.

The Secretary shall have custody of the seal of the Corporation and the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, if there be one, shall have authority to affix the same to any instrument requiring it and when so affixed, it may be attested by the signature of the Secretary or by the signature of any such Assistant Secretary. The Board of Directors may give general authority to any other officer to affix the seal of the Corporation and to attest to the affixing by such officer’s signature. The Secretary shall see that all books and records pertaining to meetings and proceedings of the Board of Directors (and any committee thereof) and of the stockholders required by applicable law to be kept or filed are properly kept or filed, as the case may be. The Secretary shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by these Bylaws or as may be assigned to them by the Board of Directors, Chair of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, and, except as otherwise prescribed by the Board of Directors, they shall have such powers and duties as generally pertain to the office of Secretary. The Assistant Secretary, or if there be more than one, any of the Assistant Secretaries, shall in the absence or disability of the Secretary, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the Secretary and shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Board of Directors, the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or Secretary may, from time to time, prescribe.

SECTION 8. Treasurer. The Treasurer shall have responsibility for the Corporation’s funds and securities. They shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by these Bylaws or as may be assigned to them by the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Board of Directors, and, except as otherwise prescribed by the Board of Directors, they shall have such powers and duties as generally pertain to the office of Treasurer.

SECTION 9. Leadership Team. The Leadership Team, if one shall be appointed, shall be the management committee of the Corporation. Its members shall be elected by the Board of Directors and thereby become officers of the Corporation. The Leadership Team shall not be a committee of the Board of Directors. The Leadership Team shall be responsible for the operation of the business of the Corporation on a day-to-day basis and for establishing and executing operating practices and policies of the Corporation. It shall also perform such other duties as the Board of Directors shall designate from time to time.

ARTICLE FIVE

STOCK

SECTION 1. Uncertificated Shares. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors, each class or series of shares of the Corporation’s capital stock shall be issued in uncertificated form.

SECTION 2. Form of Certificates. If shares are represented by certificates, the certificates shall be in such form as required by applicable law and as determined by the Board of Directors. Each such certificate shall certify the number of shares owned by such holder in the Corporation and shall be signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by two authorized officers of the Corporation. Any or all signatures on any such certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been issued by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation at the date of issue. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified.

SECTION 3. Transfer. The Board of Directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or registrar, or both, in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the Corporation. The Corporation, or its designated transfer agent or other agent, shall keep a book or set of books to be known as the stock transfer books of the Corporation, containing the name of each holder of record, together with such holder’s address and the number and class or series of shares held by such holder and the date of issue. When shares are represented by certificates, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to each holder to whom such shares have been issued or transferred, certificates representing the shares owned by such holder, and shares of stock of the Corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation or its designated transfer agent or other agent of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates and record the transaction on its books. When shares are in uncertificated form, shares of stock of the Corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such evidence of the authenticity of such transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps, and within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of such shares, the Corporation shall, if required by applicable law, send the holder to whom such shares have been issued or transferred a written statement of the information required by applicable law. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or any other instrument, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated stock and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be identical.

SECTION 4. Lost Certificates. The Corporation may issue or direct a new certificate or certificates or uncertificated shares to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates or uncertificated shares, the Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or their legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct, sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

SECTION 5. Registered Stockholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its records as the owner of shares of stock to receive dividends, to vote,

to receive notifications and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner, except as otherwise required by applicable law. The Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares of stock on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

SECTION 6. Fixing a Record Date for Purposes Other than Stockholder Meetings. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action (other than stockholder meetings and stockholder action by written consent, which are expressly governed by Section 12 of ARTICLE TWO and Section 13 of ARTICLE TWO hereof, respectively), the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the Close of Business (as defined in Section 11 of ARTICLE TWO) on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

ARTICLE SIX

GENERAL PROVISIONS

SECTION 1. Dividends. Subject to and in accordance with applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation and any certificate of designation relating to any series of preferred stock, dividends upon the shares of capital stock of the Corporation may be declared and paid by the Board of Directors, in accordance with applicable law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock, subject to the provisions of applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose. The Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserves in the manner in which they were created.

SECTION 2. Checks, Notes, Drafts, Etc. All checks, notes, drafts or other orders for the payment of money of the Corporation shall be signed, endorsed or accepted in the name of the Corporation by such officer, officers, person or persons as from time to time may be designated by the Board of Directors or by an officer or officers authorized by the Board of Directors to make such designation.

SECTION 3. Contracts. In addition to the powers otherwise granted to officers pursuant to ARTICLE FOUR hereof, the Board of Directors may authorize any officer or officers, or any agent or agents, in the name and on behalf of the Corporation to enter into or execute and deliver any and all deeds, bonds, mortgages, contracts and other obligations or instruments, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

SECTION 4. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 5. Corporate Seal. The Board of Directors may provide a corporate seal which shall be in the form of a circle and shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Corporation and the words “Corporate Seal, Delaware.” The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no seal shall be required by virtue of this Section 5 of ARTICLE SIX.

SECTION 6. Voting Securities Owned By Corporation. Voting securities in any other corporation or entity held by the Corporation shall be voted by the Chair of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer, unless the Board of Directors specifically confers authority to vote with respect thereto, which authority may be general or confined to specific

instances, upon some other person or officer. Any person authorized to vote securities shall have the power to appoint proxies, with general power of substitution.

SECTION 7. Facsimile Signatures. In addition to the provisions for use of facsimile signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these Bylaws and subject to applicable law, facsimile and any other forms of electronic signatures of any officer or officers of the Corporation may be used.

SECTION 8. Section Headings. Section headings in these Bylaws are for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect in limiting or otherwise construing any provision herein.

SECTION 9. Inconsistent Provisions. In the event that any provision (or part thereof) of these Bylaws is or becomes inconsistent with any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, the DGCL or any other applicable law, the provision (or part thereof) of these Bylaws shall not be given any effect to the extent of such inconsistency but shall otherwise be given full force and effect.

ARTICLE SEVEN

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 1. Right to Indemnification and Advancement. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including involvement, without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that they are or were a director or officer of the Corporation, or has or had agreed to become a director of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time (“ERISA”) and any other penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 of this ARTICLE SEVEN with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advance of expenses (as defined below), the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized in the specific case by the Board of Directors. The rights to indemnification and advance of expenses conferred in this Section 1 of ARTICLE SEVEN shall be contract rights. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred herein, an indemnitee shall also have the right, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “advance of expenses”); provided, however, that if and to the extent that the DGCL requires, an advance of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 1 of ARTICLE SEVEN or otherwise. The Corporation may also, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification and advancement to employees and agents of the Corporation. Any

reference to an officer of the Corporation in this ARTICLE SEVEN shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or other officer of the Corporation appointed by the Board of Directors pursuant to ARTICLE FOUR, and any reference to an officer of any other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer appointed by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of such other enterprise.

SECTION 2. Procedure for Indemnification. Any claim for indemnification or advance of expenses by an indemnitee under this Section 2 of ARTICLE SEVEN shall be made promptly, and in any event within 45 days (or, in the case of an advance of expenses, 20 days; provided that the director or officer has delivered the undertaking contemplated by Section 1 of this ARTICLE SEVEN if required), upon the written request of the indemnitee. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advance of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within 45 days (or, in the case of an advance of expenses, 20 days; provided that the indemnitee has delivered the undertaking contemplated by Section 1 of this ARTICLE SEVEN if required), the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this ARTICLE SEVEN shall be enforceable by the indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing their right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of expenses where the undertaking required pursuant to Section 1 of this ARTICLE SEVEN, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proof shall be on the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, a committee thereof, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because they have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

SECTION 3. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss asserted against them and incurred by them in any such capacity, or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expenses, liability or loss under the DGCL.

SECTION 4. Service for Subsidiaries. Any person serving as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at least 50% of whose equity interests are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (a “subsidiary” for purposes of this ARTICLE SEVEN) shall be conclusively presumed to be serving in such capacity at the request of the Corporation.

SECTION 5. Reliance. Persons who after the date of the adoption of this provision become or remain directors or officers of the Corporation or who, while a director or officer of the Corporation, become or remain a director, officer, employee or agent of a subsidiary, shall be conclusively

presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnity, advance of expenses and other rights contained in this ARTICLE SEVEN in entering into or continuing such service. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE SEVEN shall apply to claims made against an indemnitee arising out of acts or omissions which occurred or occur both prior and subsequent to the adoption hereof. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this ARTICLE SEVEN that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

SECTION 6. Non-Exclusivity of Rights; Continuation of Rights of Indemnification. The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE SEVEN shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under the Certificate of Incorporation or under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. All rights to indemnification under this ARTICLE SEVEN shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director or officer of the Corporation who serves or served in such capacity at any time while this ARTICLE SEVEN is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this ARTICLE SEVEN or repeal or modification of relevant provisions of the DGCL or any other applicable laws shall not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses of such director or officer or the obligations of the Corporation arising hereunder with respect to any proceeding arising out of, or relating to, any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such repeal or modification.

SECTION 7. Merger or Consolidation. For purposes of this ARTICLE SEVEN, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this ARTICLE SEVEN with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as they would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

SECTION 8. Savings Clause. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if this ARTICLE SEVEN or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and advance expenses to each person entitled to indemnification under Section 1 of this ARTICLE SEVEN as to all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and any other penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person and for which indemnification and advancement of expenses is available to such person pursuant to this ARTICLE SEVEN to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this ARTICLE SEVEN that shall not have been invalidated.

ARTICLE EIGHT

AMENDMENTS

These Bylaws may be amended, altered, changed or repealed or new Bylaws adopted only in accordance with Section 1 of ARTICLE NINE of the Certificate of Incorporation.

ARTICLE II

The Separation

SECTION 2.01. Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities. (a) Prior to the Initial Public Offering, and subject to Section 2.01(e), Section 2.01(f) and Section 2.07, the Parties shall cause, or shall have caused, the Internal Transactions to be completed.

(b) Subject to Section 2.01(e), Section 2.01(f) and Section 2.07, on or prior to the Separation Date, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Group members to, execute such Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments and take such other corporate actions as are necessary to (i) transfer and convey to one or more members of the Kenvue Group all of the right, title and interest of the J&J Group in, to and under all Kenvue Assets not already owned by the Kenvue Group, (ii) transfer and convey to one or more members of the J&J Group all of the right, title and interest of the Kenvue Group in, to and under all J&J Assets not already owned by the J&J Group, (iii) cause one or more members of the Kenvue Group to assume all of the Kenvue Liabilities to the extent such Liabilities would otherwise remain obligations of any member of the J&J Group and (iv) cause one or more members of the J&J Group to assume all of the J&J Liabilities to the extent such Liabilities would otherwise remain obligations of any member of the Kenvue Group.

(c) In the event that it is discovered any time after the Separation Date that there was an omission of (i) the transfer or conveyance by Kenvue (or a member of the Kenvue Group) or the acceptance or assumption by J&J (or a member of the J&J Group) of any J&J Asset or J&J Liability, as the case may be, or (ii) the transfer or conveyance by J&J (or a member of the J&J Group) or the acceptance or assumption by Kenvue (or a member of the Kenvue Group) of any Kenvue Asset or Kenvue Liability, as the case may be, the Parties shall, subject to Section 2.01(e), Section 2.01(f) and Section 2.07, use reasonable best efforts to promptly effect such transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption of such Asset or Liability. The Party to whom the applicable Asset is to be transferred or conveyed or by whom the applicable Liability is to be accepted or assumed shall reimburse the other Party for any costs directly related to retaining or maintaining such Asset, or managing or defending such Liability, promptly after receiving a request therefor. Any transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption made pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if it had occurred on the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the Separation Closing and (ii) the time such Assets and Liabilities would have been transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed had they been subject to the Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument for the jurisdiction to which such Assets relate, in each case except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(d) In the event that it is discovered any time after the Separation Date that there was (i) a transfer or conveyance by Kenvue (or a member of the Kenvue Group) to, or the acceptance or assumption by, J&J (or a member of the J&J Group) of any Kenvue Asset or Kenvue Liability, as the case may be, or (ii) a transfer or conveyance by J&J (or a member of the J&J Group) to, or the acceptance or assumption by, Kenvue (or a member of the Kenvue Group) of any J&J Asset or J&J Liability, as the case may be, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly transfer or convey such Asset or Liability back to the transferring or conveying Party or to rescind any acceptance or assumption of such Asset or Liability, as the case may be. The

Party to whom the applicable Asset is to be transferred or conveyed or by whom the applicable Liability is to be accepted or assumed shall reimburse the other Party for any costs directly related to retaining or maintaining such Asset, or managing or defending such Liability, promptly after receiving a request therefor. Any transfer or conveyance made or acceptance or assumption rescinded pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if such Asset or Liability had never been originally transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed, as the case may be, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(e) To the extent that any transfer or conveyance of any Asset (other than Shared Contracts, which are governed solely by Section 2.04, and Deferred Kenvue Local Businesses, which are governed solely by Section 2.07) or acceptance or assumption of any Liability (other than Shared Contracts, which are governed solely by Section 2.04, and Deferred Kenvue Local Businesses, which are governed solely by Section 2.07) required by this Agreement to be so transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed shall not have been completed on or prior to the Separation Date, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to effect such transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption as promptly following the Separation Date as shall be reasonably practicable. In the event that any such transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption (as applicable) has not been completed effective on or prior to the Separation Date, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Parties, the Party retaining such Asset or Liability (or the member of the Party’s Group retaining such Asset or Liability) shall thereafter hold such Asset for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto, who shall reimburse the other Party for any costs directly related to retaining or maintaining such Asset or managing or defending such Liability promptly after receiving a request therefor) or retain such Liability for the account, and at the expense, of the Party by whom such Liability should have been assumed or accepted pursuant to this Agreement, as the case may be, and take such other actions as may be required by Law, including the terms and conditions of any applicable order, decree, ruling judgment, agreement or Action pending or in effect as of the Separation Date with respect to such Asset or Liability, or otherwise reasonably requested by the Party to which such Asset should have been transferred or conveyed, or by whom such Liability should have been assumed or accepted, as the case may be, in order to place both Parties, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as would have existed had such Asset or Liability been transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed (as applicable) as contemplated by this Agreement, including with respect to possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain and control over such Asset or Liability. As and when any such Asset or Liability becomes transferable or assumable, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly effect such transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption (as applicable). Any transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption made pursuant to this Section 2.01(e) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if it had occurred on the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the Separation Closing and (ii) the time such Assets and Liabilities would have been transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed had they been subject to the Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument for the jurisdiction to which such Assets and Liabilities relate, in each case except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the transfer or conveyance of any Assets or the acceptance or assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be so transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed; provided, however, that the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain and submit any necessary

Governmental Approvals or other Consents for the transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption (as applicable) of all Assets and Liabilities required by this Agreement to be so transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed including, to the extent applicable, the substitution of a member of the Kenvue Group for a member of the J&J Group in connection with any order, decree, ruling, judgment, agreement or Action pending or in effect as of the Separation Date with respect to any Kenvue Liabilities or the substitution of a member of the J&J Group for a member of the Kenvue Group in connection with any order, decree, ruling, judgment, agreement or Action pending or in effect as of the Separation Date with respect to any J&J Liabilities; provided, further, that neither Party nor any member of its Group shall be required to pay or grant any consideration or concession in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or submit any such Governmental Approval or Consent (other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and filing, recording or similar fees, all of which, if incurred following the Separation Closing, shall be borne by Kenvue (and Kenvue shall promptly reimburse members of the J&J Group upon request for any such expenses or fees incurred thereby)).

(g) Except as set forth in Section 2.01(f) or Section 2.07, the Party retaining any Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the transfer and conveyance of such Asset or the deferral of the acceptance and assumption of such Liability pursuant to this Section 2.01 or otherwise shall not be obligated by this Agreement, in connection with this Section 2.01, to expend any money or take any action that would require the expenditure of money unless and to the extent the Party entitled to such Asset or the Party intended to assume such Liability advances or agrees to reimburse it for the applicable expenditures.

SECTION 2.02. Certain Matters Governed Exclusively by Ancillary Agreements. Each of J&J and Kenvue agrees on behalf of itself and the members of its Group that, except as explicitly provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (a) the TXMA shall exclusively govern all matters relating to Taxes between such parties (except to the extent that Tax matters are expressly addressed in any other Ancillary Agreement), (b) the EMA shall exclusively govern all matters related to employees and employee benefits between such parties, including matters related to workers’ compensation benefits (it being understood that any Assets and Liabilities allocated pursuant to the EMA shall constitute Kenvue Assets, Kenvue Liabilities, J&J Assets or J&J Liabilities, as applicable, for purposes of Article VI hereof), (c) the TSA, the RTSA, the TMA and the RTMA shall exclusively govern all matters relating to the provision of certain services identified therein to be provided by each Party to the other on a transitional basis following the Separation Date and (d) the IPA, DTSA and the Trademark Related Agreements shall exclusively govern all matters relating to the assignment, transfer, sharing and licensing of Intellectual Property (except to the extent that such Intellectual Property matters are expressly addressed in any other Ancillary Agreement) (it being understood that any Assets and Liabilities allocated pursuant to the IPA, the Trademark Related Agreements and the DTSA shall constitute Kenvue Assets, Kenvue Liabilities, J&J Assets or J&J Liabilities, as applicable, for purposes of Article VI hereof).

SECTION 2.03. Termination of Intercompany Agreements and Intercompany Accounts. (a) Except as set forth in Section 2.03(c) or as otherwise provided by the Step Plan, in furtherance of the releases and other provisions of Section 6.01, effective as of the consummation of the Separation on the Separation Date, Kenvue and each other member of the

Kenvue Group, on the one hand, and J&J and each other member of the J&J Group, on the other hand, hereby terminate any and all agreements, arrangements, commitments and understandings, oral or written, between such parties (“Intercompany Agreements”), including all intercompany accounts payable or accounts receivable between such parties (“Intercompany Accounts”), and in effect or accrued as of such time. No such terminated Intercompany Agreement or Intercompany Account (including any provision thereof that purports to survive termination) shall be of any further force or effect after the Separation Date. Each Party shall, at the reasonable request of the other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing. The Parties, on behalf of the members of their respective Groups, hereby waive any advance notice provision or other termination requirements with respect to any Intercompany Agreement.

(b) In connection with the termination of Intercompany Accounts described in Section 2.03(a), each of J&J and Kenvue shall cause each Intercompany Account between a member of the Kenvue Group, on the one hand, and a member of the J&J Group, on the other hand, outstanding as of the Separation Closing to be settled as set forth in the Step Plan.

(c) The provisions of Section 2.03(a) and Section 2.03(b) shall not apply to any of the following Intercompany Agreements or Intercompany Accounts (or to any of the provisions thereof): (i) this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (and each other Intercompany Agreement or Intercompany Account expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to be entered into by either Party or any other member of its Group); (ii) any Intercompany Agreements that this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement expressly contemplates will survive the Separation Closing; (iii) any Intercompany Agreements or Intercompany Accounts between a Deferred Kenvue Local Business, on the one hand, and a member of the J&J Group, on the other hand, prior to the legal transfer of such Deferred Kenvue Local Business to the Kenvue Group and (iv) any other Intercompany Agreements or Intercompany Accounts set forth on Schedule IX.

(d) Each of J&J and Kenvue shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, take all necessary actions to remove each member of the Kenvue Group from all Cash Management Arrangements to which such member of the Kenvue Group is a party, in each case prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Separation Date; provided, that this Section 2.03(d) shall not require any members of the Kenvue Group that comprise a Deferred Kenvue Local Business to be removed from any such Cash Management Arrangements prior to the legal transfer of such Deferred Kenvue Local Business to the Kenvue Group.

SECTION 2.04. Shared Contracts. The Parties shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to work together (and, if necessary and desirable, to work with the third party to such Shared Contract) in an effort to divide, partially assign, modify or replicate (in whole or in part) the respective rights and obligations under and in respect of any Shared Contract, such that (a) a member of the Kenvue Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the Kenvue Business (the “Kenvue Portion”), which rights shall be a Kenvue Asset and which obligations shall be a Kenvue Liability, and (b) a member of the J&J Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations

related to such Shared Contract not relating to the Kenvue Business (the “J&J Portion”), which rights shall be a J&J Asset and which obligations shall be a J&J Liability. If the Parties, or their respective Group members, as applicable, are not able to enter into an arrangement to formally divide, partially assign, modify or replicate such Shared Contract on or prior to the Separation Date as contemplated by the previous sentence, then the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Group members to, reasonably cooperate in any lawful arrangement to provide that, following the Separation Closing and until the earlier of five years after the Separation Date and such time as the formal division, partial assignment, modification or replication of such Shared Contract as contemplated by the previous sentence is effected, a member of the Kenvue Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the Kenvue Portion under such Shared Contract and a member of the J&J Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the J&J Portion under such Shared Contract; provided, that if, following such five-year period, any such Shared Contract remains in effect and the formal division, partial assignment, modification or replication of such Shared Contract as contemplated by the previous sentence has not yet been effected, the Parties shall discuss in good faith extending any such lawful arrangement then in place. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall require (x) the division, partial assignment, modification or replication of a Shared Contract unless and until any necessary Consents are obtained or made, as applicable, or (y) unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, either Party or any member of their respective Groups to pay or grant any consideration or concession in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person (other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which, if incurred following the Separation Closing, shall be borne by Kenvue (and Kenvue shall promptly reimburse members of the J&J Group upon request for any such expenses or fees incurred thereby)).

SECTION 2.05. Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. Each of J&J (on behalf of itself and each other member of the J&J Group) and Kenvue (on behalf of itself and each other member of the Kenvue Group) understands and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Representation Letters, no party to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, nor any other Person, is representing or warranting in any way as to any Assets or Liabilities transferred or assumed as contemplated hereby or thereby, as to the sufficiency of the Assets or Liabilities transferred or assumed hereby or thereby for the conduct and operations of the Kenvue Business or the J&J Business, as applicable, as to any Governmental Approvals or other Consents required in connection therewith or in connection with any past transfers of the Assets or assumptions of the Liabilities, as to the value or freedom from any Security Interests of, or any other matter concerning, any Assets or Liabilities of such party, or as to the absence of any defenses or rights of setoff or freedom from counterclaim with respect to any claim or other Asset, including any accounts receivable, of any such party, or as to the legal sufficiency of any assignment, document or instrument delivered hereunder to convey title to any Asset or thing of value upon the execution, delivery and filing hereof or thereof. Except as may expressly be set forth herein or in any Ancillary Agreement or the Representation Letters, any such Assets are being transferred on an “as is,” “where is” basis and the respective transferees shall bear the economic and legal risks that (a) any conveyance shall prove to be insufficient to vest in the transferee good and marketable title, free and clear of any Security Interest, and (b) any necessary Governmental Approvals or other Consents are not obtained or that any requirements of Laws or judgments are not complied with.

SECTION 2.06. Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection with, and in furtherance of, the transfers of Assets and the acceptance and assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties (i) have executed prior to the date hereof certain Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments and (ii) shall execute and deliver to each other or cause to be executed and delivered, on or after the date hereof by the appropriate entities, any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, in each case necessary to evidence the valid and effective assumption by the applicable Party or a member of such Party’s Group of its assumed Liabilities and the valid transfer to the applicable Party or member of such Party’s Group of all right, title and interest in and to its transferred Assets for such assumptions and transfers to be effected pursuant to Delaware Law, the Laws of one of the other states of the United States or the Laws of the country in which such Assets are located, as applicable, including the transfer of real property with deeds as may be appropriate and in form and substance as may be required by the jurisdiction in which the real property is located. Except to the extent required by applicable Law, the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments shall not contain any representations or warranties or indemnities, shall not conflict with this Agreement and, to the extent that any provision of a Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument does conflict with any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and control unless specifically stated otherwise in such Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument. The transfer of capital stock shall be effected by means of executed stock powers and notation on the stock record books of the corporation or other legal entities involved, or by such other means as may be required in any non-U.S. jurisdiction to transfer title to stock and, only to the extent required by applicable Law, by notation on public registries or other required procedure.

SECTION 2.07. Deferred Markets. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in order to ensure compliance with applicable Law, to obtain necessary Governmental Approvals and other Consents and for other business reasons, the Parties will defer until after the Separation Date the transfer and conveyance of legal title to all or a portion of the Kenvue Assets to, and the assumption of all or a portion of the Kenvue Liabilities by, Kenvue or a member of the Kenvue Group, in each case, in each of the jurisdictions listed on Schedule XIV (each, a “Deferred Market” and the Kenvue Assets and Kenvue Liabilities in any such Deferred Market, a “Deferred Kenvue Local Business”), and J&J or a member of the J&J Group will continue to operate certain activities of the Kenvue Business in the Deferred Markets following the Separation in accordance with Section 2.07(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Deferred Kenvue Local Business shall constitute Kenvue Assets or Kenvue Liabilities, as applicable, for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(b) In each case, from and after the Separation Date and until such time as a Deferred Kenvue Local Business has been transferred to Kenvue or a member of the Kenvue Group, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the Parties, (i) such Deferred Kenvue Local Business shall be held and operated by J&J or a member of the J&J Group on behalf of and for the benefit of Kenvue or a member of the Kenvue Group, (ii) J&J shall, or shall cause the applicable members of the J&J Group to, use reasonable best efforts to treat and operate, insofar as reasonably practicable and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Deferred Kenvue Local Business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects consistent with past practice, subject to material changes in the manner in which the J&J Business or the Kenvue Business are operated resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) Kenvue shall, and shall cause the

applicable members of the Kenvue Group to, use reasonable best efforts to provide, at the sole expense of Kenvue or a member of the Kenvue Group, all support reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by J&J or a member of the J&J Group with respect to the operation of such Deferred Kenvue Local Business.

(c) The Parties shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, use reasonable best efforts to take all actions (including obtaining and submitting any necessary Governmental Approvals or other Consents in accordance with Section 2.01(f)) to permit the legal transfer of the Deferred Kenvue Local Businesses as promptly following the Separation Date as shall be reasonably practicable. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the Parties, upon receipt of all necessary Governmental Approvals and other Consents and the occurrence of all other actions that permit the legal transfer of a Deferred Kenvue Local Business to Kenvue or a member of the Kenvue Group, the Parties shall promptly complete such transfer. The transfer of any Deferred Kenvue Local Business pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if it had occurred immediately prior to the Separation Closing, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or as otherwise expressly provided in any applicable Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument.

(a) Kenvue shall use reasonable best efforts to arrange, at its sole cost and expense and effective on or prior to the Separation Date, the replacement of all guarantees, covenants, indemnities, surety bonds, letters of credit or similar assurances or credit support (“Credit Support Instruments”) provided by or through J&J or any other member of the J&J Group for the benefit of Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group (“J&J Credit Support Instruments”) with alternate arrangements that do not require any credit support from J&J or any other member of the J&J Group, and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain from the beneficiaries of such J&J Credit Support Instruments written releases (which (i) in the case of a letter of credit or bank guarantee would be effective upon surrender of the original J&J Credit Support Instrument to the originating bank and such bank’s confirmation to J&J of cancelation thereof and (ii) shall expressly release any collateral in respect of such J&J Credit Support Instrument) indicating that J&J or such other member of the J&J Group will, effective upon the Separation Closing, have no liability with respect to such J&J Credit Support Instruments, in each case reasonably satisfactory to J&J.

(g) No order, injunction or decree issued by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Separation or the Initial Public Offering shall be in effect, and no other event shall have occurred or failed to occur that prevents the consummation of the Separation or the Initial Public Offering.

(h) No other events or developments shall have occurred prior to the Separation that, in the judgment of the board of directors of J&J, would result in the Separation or the Initial Public Offering having a material adverse effect on J&J or the shareholders of J&J.

(i) Kenvue shall have entered into the Underwriting Agreement and all conditions to the obligations of Kenvue and the Underwriters thereunder shall have been satisfied or waived by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof.

(j) The actions set forth in Sections 4.01(d), (e) and (f) shall have been completed.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of J&J and shall not give rise to or create any duty on the part of J&J or the J&J board of directors to waive or not waive such conditions or in any way limit the right of J&J to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Article X or alter the consequences of any such termination from those specified in such Article X. Any determination made by the J&J board of directors prior to the Separation concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.02 shall be conclusive.

SECTION 4.03. Separation Date; Consideration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the Separation shall take place remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signature pages on the date on which the Initial Public Offering closes or in such other manner or on such other date as J&J and Kenvue may mutually agree upon in writing (the day on which such closing takes place being the “Separation Date”). As partial consideration for the direct or indirect transfer of Kenvue Assets to Kenvue pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Kenvue agrees to pay to J&J, promptly following the consummation of the Separation and the Initial Public Offering, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by J&J to Kenvue in writing, all of the Cash of the Kenvue Group, including (x) all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (including, promptly following the receipt thereof, the net proceeds from the exercise of the Underwriters’ overallotment option if it is so exercised), after deducting only the Underwriters’ discount, and (y) all of the net proceeds of the Kenvue Financing Arrangements (together with any interest accrued thereon following the receipt of such proceeds by the Kenvue Group); provided that the Kenvue Group shall retain an amount in Cash as determined pursuant to Schedule X, after giving effect to the Initial Public Offering, the Kenvue Financing Arrangements and the settlement of Intercompany Accounts as contemplated by the Internal Transactions and Section 2.03(b).

SECTION 4.04. Sole Discretion of J&J. Prior to the Separation Closing, J&J shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine all terms of the Separation, including the form, structure and terms of any transactions or offerings to effect the Separation and the timing of and conditions to the consummation thereof. In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth below, J&J may at any time and from time to time until the Separation Closing decide to abandon, modify or change any or all of the terms of the Separation, including by accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the Separation. For the purposes of this Section 4.04 only, the term “Separation” shall include any transfers contemplated by Section 2.07.

J&J and Kenvue, as the case may be, will provide to the exchange agent, if any, all share certificates and any information required in order to complete the Distribution or Other Disposition.

ARTICLE VI

Mutual Releases; Indemnification

SECTION 6.01. Release of Pre-Separation Claims. (a) Except as provided in Section 6.01(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, effective as of the Separation Closing, Kenvue does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Kenvue Group, their respective Affiliates, and to the extent it may legally do so, successors and assigns and all Persons who at any time on or prior to the Separation Closing have been shareholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Kenvue Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), remise, release and forever discharge J&J and the other members of the J&J Group, their respective successors and assigns and all Persons who at any time on or prior to the Separation Closing have been shareholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the J&J Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all Kenvue Liabilities whatsoever, whether at Law or in equity (including any right of contribution or recovery and including any remedy under Environmental Laws), whether arising under any contract or agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Separation Closing, including in connection with the Separation, the Initial Public Offering and any Distribution or Other Disposition and all other activities to implement any such transactions.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.01(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, effective as of the Separation Closing, J&J does hereby, for itself and each other member of the J&J Group, their respective Affiliates, and to the extent it may legally do so, successors and assigns and all Persons who at any time on or prior to the Separation Closing have been shareholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the J&J Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), remise, release and forever discharge Kenvue and the other members of the Kenvue Group, their respective successors and assigns and all Persons who at any time on or prior to the Separation Closing have been shareholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Kenvue Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such), and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all J&J Liabilities whatsoever, whether at Law or in equity (including any right of contribution or recovery and including any remedy under Environmental Laws), whether arising under any contract or agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Separation Closing, including in connection with the Separation, the Initial Public Offering and any Distribution or Other Disposition and all other activities to implement any such transactions.

(c) The Parties expressly understand and acknowledge that it is possible that unknown losses or claims exist or might come to exist or that present losses may have been underestimated in amount, severity, or both. Accordingly, the Parties are deemed expressly to understand and acknowledge any federal, state or non-U.S. Law or right, rule or legal principle of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction that may be applicable herein which provides that: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH A CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN SUCH CREDITOR’S FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY SUCH CREDITOR MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED SUCH CREDITOR’S SETTLEMENT WITH A DEBTOR. The Parties are hereby deemed to agree that any such or similar federal, state or non-U.S. Laws or rights, rules or legal principles of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction that may be applicable herein, are hereby knowingly and voluntarily waived and relinquished with respect to the releases in Section 6.01(a) and (b).

(d) Nothing contained in Section 6.01(a) or (b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Intercompany Agreement or Intercompany Account that is specified in Section 2.03(c) not to terminate as of the Separation Closing, in each case in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained in Section 6.01(a) or (b) shall release:

(i) any Person from any Liability provided in or resulting from any agreement among any members of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group that is specified in Section 2.03(c) as not to terminate as of the Separation, or any other Liability specified in such Section 2.03(c) as not to terminate as of the Separation;

(ii) any Person from any Liability, contingent or otherwise, assumed, transferred, assigned or allocated to the Group of which such Person is a member in accordance with, or any other Liability of any member of any Group under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(iii) any Person from any Liability provided in or resulting from any other agreement or understanding that is entered into after the Separation between one Party (or a member of such Party’s Group), on the one hand, and the other Party (or a member of such Party’s Group), on the other hand; or

(iv) any Person from any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement for claims brought against the Parties, the members of their respective Groups or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Article VI or, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the relevant Ancillary Agreement.

In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement shall release any Person from any D&O Indemnification Liabilities; provided, that J&J shall indemnify members of the Kenvue Group for any such D&O Indemnification Liabilities in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article VI.

(e) Kenvue shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the Kenvue 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 J&J or any other member of the J&J Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 6.01(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 6.01(a). J&J shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the J&J 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 Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 6.01(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 6.01(b).

(f) It is the intent of each of J&J and Kenvue, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 6.01, to provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Separation Date, between or among Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group, on the one hand, and J&J or any other member of the J&J Group, on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among any such members on or before the Separation Date), except as set forth in Section 6.01(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement. At any time, at the request of the other Party, each Party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

SECTION 6.02. Indemnification by Kenvue. Subject to Section 6.04, Kenvue shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless J&J, each other member of the J&J Group and each of their respective former and current shareholders, directors, officers, agents and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “J&J Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the J&J Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the Kenvue Liabilities, including the failure of Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Kenvue Liability in accordance with its terms;

(b) any breach by Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein (which shall be controlling); and

(c) any breach by Kenvue of any of the representations and warranties made by Kenvue on behalf of itself and the members of the Kenvue Group in Section 11.01(c).

SECTION 6.03. Indemnification by J&J. Subject to Section 6.04, J&J shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Kenvue, each other member of the Kenvue Group and each of their respective former and current shareholders, directors, officers, agents and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Kenvue Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Kenvue Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the J&J Liabilities, including the failure of J&J or any other member of the J&J Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any J&J Liability in accordance with its terms;

(b) any breach by J&J or any other member of the J&J Group of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein (which shall be controlling); and

(c) any breach by J&J of any of the representations and warranties made by J&J on behalf of itself and the members of the J&J Group in Section 11.01(c).

SECTION 6.04. Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Third-Party Proceeds. (a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement will be net of (i) Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of, or are paid to the applicable Indemnitee in respect of, such Liability or (ii) other amounts recovered from any third party that actually reduce the amount of, or are paid to the applicable Indemnitee in respect of, such Liability (“Third-Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount that either Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement (an “Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee from a third party in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds in respect of such Liability, then 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 such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) No provision in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is intended to relieve any Commercial Insurer of any responsibility to pay any claim, grant any insurer any subrogation rights with respect to any claim or provide any Commercial Insurer with a “wind-fall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage provision obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of such provision). Subject to Section 6.12, each member of the J&J Group and Kenvue Group shall use reasonable best efforts to seek to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, or cooperate with each other in collecting or recovering, any Insurance Proceeds and any Third-Party Proceeds to which such Person is entitled in connection with any Liability for which such Person seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; provided, however, that such Person’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making an indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Actions to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

SECTION 6.05. Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims. If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of a Third-Party Claim with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than 30 calendar days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail 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 any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 6.05 shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice in accordance with this Section 6.05. Any Third-Party Claim shall be managed by J&J and Kenvue in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.12, as if such Third-Party Claim were an Action.

SECTION 6.06. Additional Matters. (a) Any claim on account of a Liability that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 30 calendar days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Indemnitee as contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In the event of payment by or on behalf of an 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 the Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

SECTION 6.07. Right to Contribution. (a) If any right of indemnification contained in Section 6.02 or Section 6.03 is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason, or is insufficient to hold harmless any 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 any 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 such Indemnitee and any other Indemnitees entitled to contribution in respect of such Liability, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b) Solely for purposes of determining relative fault pursuant to this Section 6.07: (i) any fault associated with the business conducted with Kenvue Assets or the Kenvue

Liabilities or with the ownership, operation or activities of the Kenvue Business prior to the Separation Closing shall be deemed to be the fault of Kenvue and the other members of the Kenvue Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of J&J or any other member of the J&J Group; and (ii) any fault associated with the business conducted with J&J Assets or the J&J Liabilities or with the ownership, operation or activities of the J&J Business prior to the Separation Closing shall be deemed to be the fault of J&J and the other members of the J&J Group, and no such fault shall be deemed to be the fault of Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group.

SECTION 6.08. Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article VI shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article X, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

SECTION 6.09. Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of J&J and Kenvue and their respective Indemnitees under this Article VI shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party or its Affiliates of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

SECTION 6.10. Limitation on Liability. Except as may expressly be set forth in this Agreement, none of J&J, Kenvue or any other member of either Group shall in any event have any Liability to the other or to any other member of the other’s Group, or to any other J&J Indemnitee or Kenvue Indemnitee, as applicable, under this Agreement (i) with respect to any matter to the extent that such Party seeking indemnification has engaged in any knowing violation of Law or fraud in connection therewith or (ii) for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages, whether or not caused by or resulting from negligence or breach of obligations hereunder and whether or not informed of the possibility of the existence of such damages; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.10(ii) shall not limit an Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to any Liability any Indemnitee may have to any third party not affiliated with any member of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages.

SECTION 6.11. Covenant Not to Sue. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of its Group or any Person claiming on behalf of it or its Group shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any Governmental Authority, alleging that: (a) the assumption or retention of any Kenvue Liabilities by Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the assumption or retention of any J&J Liabilities by J&J or any other member of the J&J Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (c) the provisions of this Article VI are void or unenforceable for any reason.

SECTION 6.12. Management of Actions. This Section 6.12 shall govern the management and direction of pending and future Actions in which members of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group are named as parties, but shall not alter the allocation of Liabilities set forth in Article II.

(a) From and after the Separation Closing, the Kenvue Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of, and otherwise manage, any (i) Actions set forth on Schedule XI and (ii) Actions (other than Actions set forth on Schedule XII or Schedule XIII) that solely relate to (A) the Kenvue Business, Kenvue Liabilities or Kenvue Assets or (B) activities of the Kenvue Group following the Separation (such Actions in clauses (i) and (ii), “Kenvue Actions”). If a member of the J&J Group is named as a party or otherwise made subject to any Kenvue Action, (x) Kenvue and J&J shall use their reasonable best efforts to have Kenvue substituted for such member of the J&J Group (or to otherwise cause such member of the J&J Group to be removed as a party to such Kenvue Action) and (y) such member of the J&J Group shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Kenvue Action without the prior written consent of Kenvue (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) From and after the Separation Closing, the J&J Group shall direct the defense or prosecution of, and otherwise manage, any (i) Actions set forth on Schedule XII and (ii) Actions (other than Actions set forth on Schedule XI or Schedule XIII) that solely relate to (A) the J&J Business, J&J Liabilities or J&J Assets or (B) activities of the J&J Group following the Separation (such Actions in clauses (i) and (ii), “J&J Actions”). If a member of the Kenvue Group is named as a party or otherwise made subject to any J&J Action, (x) J&J and Kenvue shall use their reasonable best efforts to have J&J substituted for such member of the Kenvue Group (or to otherwise cause such member of the Kenvue Group to be removed as a party to such Kenvue Action) and (y) such member of the Kenvue Group shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such J&J Action without the prior written consent of J&J (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) From and after the Separation Closing, the Parties shall separately but cooperatively manage (including as co-defendants or co-plaintiffs or Actions in which only one Party is named) any (i) Actions set forth in Schedule XIII and (ii) Actions (other than Actions set forth on Schedule XI or Schedule XII) that relate to both the J&J Business, J&J Assets or J&J Liabilities, on the one hand, and the Kenvue Business, Kenvue Assets or Kenvue Liabilities, on the other hand (such Actions in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Mixed Actions”). The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and consult with each other, and to the extent legally permissible and necessary or advisable, maintain a joint defense in a manner that would preserve for both Parties and their respective Affiliates any attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect to any Mixed Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties may jointly retain counsel (in which case the cost of counsel shall be shared equally, or as otherwise reasonably agreed, by the Parties) or retain separate counsel (in which case each Party will bear the cost of its separate counsel) with respect to any Mixed Action; provided that the Parties shall bear their own discovery costs and shall share equally any joint litigation costs. In any Mixed Action, each of J&J and Kenvue may pursue separate defenses, claims, counterclaims or settlements to those claims relating to the J&J Business or the Kenvue Business, respectively; provided that each Party shall in good faith use its reasonable best efforts to avoid adverse effects on the other Party. If a member of each of the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group are not both named as parties to any Mixed Action, at the request of either Party, J&J and Kenvue shall use their reasonable best efforts to have the Party that is not so named added as a party to such Mixed Action.

(d) No Party managing an Action pursuant to Section 6.12(a) or Section 6.12(b) shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of or compromise any such Action without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such entry of judgment, settlement or compromise (i) contains any finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person by such other Party, (ii) would result in any non-monetary remedy or relief being imposed upon any member of such other Party’s Group (other than customary non-disclosure obligations) or (iii) to the extent such other Party (or a member of such other Party’s Group) is named as a party to such Action, does not include a full and unconditional release of such other Party (or such member of such other Party’s Group).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event any such pending or future Action requires, results in or relates to any Real Property Remedial Action, such Real Property Remedial Action shall be managed in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13(c) through Section 6.13(f).

SECTION 6.13. Additional Environmental Terms and Procedures.

(a) Allocation of Specified Environmental Liabilities. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, Schedule XV sets forth a list of Specified Environmental Liabilities and, for each such Specified Environmental Liability (except as otherwise noted on Schedule XV), the proportionate share of the total Liability that is allocated to each Party.

(b) Allocation of Non-Specified Environmental Liabilities. In the event any Environmental Liability (other than any Specified Environmental Liabilities for which an allocation is specified on Schedule XV pursuant to Section 6.13(a)) is alleged by any Person (including either Party) to be attributable in part, on the one hand, to the J&J Business or any member of the J&J Group and in part, on the other hand, to the Kenvue Business or any member of the Kenvue Group (a “Non-Specified Environmental Liability”), the Parties shall attempt in good faith to determine and agree upon a final or interim allocation based on the Parties’ respective obligations in accordance with the allocation of Liabilities set forth in Article II; provided that, in determining any such allocation, the Parties shall consider, as relevant, the Parties’ respective degree of control over the production or other operations resulting in such Environmental Liability, the ability to distinguish the Parties’ respective contribution to such Environmental Liability, the Parties’ respective amount of contribution and the relative toxicity of any waste or other contaminants resulting in the Environmental Liability or requiring Remedial Action, the degree of care exercised by each Party with respect to the activities resulting in the Environmental Liability, the degree of each Party’s cooperation with Governmental Authorities to prevent harm to the public health or environment in connection with such Environmental Liability and any other equitable factors upon which the Parties shall reasonably agree; provided, further that, in the case of any Environmental Liability associated with any real property that, prior to the Separation Date, was owned by one Party but operated by the other Party, and such operations were solely associated with the operating Party’s business, the Parties shall not consider mere passive ownership by the Party owning the relevant real property as a basis for allocating Liability to the Party owning the real property. If the Parties are unable to agree to such an allocation within 90 days of the delivery of an indemnification

notice in accordance with Section 6.05, either Party may deliver a dispute resolution notice in accordance with the terms of Section 11.02.

(c) Managing Remedial Party Selection.

(a) Except in the case of an Adversarial Action or threatened Adversarial Action, and subject to Section 7.01(c), each of J&J and Kenvue, on behalf of its respective Group, shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Party, at any time after the Separation Closing, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any Information (or a copy thereof) relating to time periods on or prior to the Separation Date in the possession or under the control of such respective Group, which J&J or Kenvue, or any member of its respective Group, as applicable, reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing, notification or other requirements applicable to J&J or Kenvue, or any member of its respective Group, as applicable (including under applicable securities laws), by any national securities exchange or by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over J&J or Kenvue, or any member of its respective Group, as applicable, (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other Action, internal investigation or internal audit or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, regulatory, litigation, regulatory request for information or other similar requirements or (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other contract or agreement in effect as of the Separation Closing. The receiving Party shall use any Information received pursuant to this Section 7.01(a) solely to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy the applicable obligations or requirements described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) In addition, subject to Section 7.01(c), each of J&J and Kenvue shall have the right at any time after the Separation Closing to request and access, pursuant to the request protocol set forth in Section 5.01(a) of the DTSA, any Specified Information to the extent related to (i) if Kenvue is the requesting Party, any member of the Kenvue Group, the Kenvue Business or any Kenvue Asset or Kenvue Liability or (ii) if J&J is the requesting Party, any member of the J&J Group, the J&J Business or any J&J Asset or J&J Liability.

(c) In the event that either J&J or Kenvue reasonably determines that the disclosure of any Information pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b) could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive or jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protection, such Party shall not be required to provide access to or furnish such Information to the other Party; provided, however, that, if any access or Information is withheld by a Party pursuant to this Section 7.01(c), such Party shall inform the other Party as to the general nature of what is being withheld and the basis for withholding such access or Information, and both Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to permit compliance with Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b), as applicable, in a manner that avoids any such harm or

consequence. Both J&J and Kenvue intend that any provision of access to or the furnishing of Information pursuant to this Section 7.01 that would otherwise be within the ambit of any legal privilege shall not operate as waiver of such privilege.

(d) Subject to the terms of the Memorabilia licenses set forth in the IPA, at any time after the Separation Closing, each of J&J and Kenvue, on behalf of its respective Group, shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Party, after written request therefor by such other Party, reasonable access to any Memorabilia owned by such Party’s Group that relates to the history or historical activities of the other Party’s Group for such other Party to prepare and obtain (at its sole cost and expense) copies or reproductions thereof.

SECTION 7.02. Ownership of Information. The provision of Information to a requesting Party hereunder shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to transfer ownership of such Information. Except as specifically set forth herein or in the Ancillary Agreements, nothing herein shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

SECTION 7.03. Compensation for Providing Information. The Party receiving access to any Information pursuant to this Article VII shall reimburse the providing Party for the reasonable costs, if any, in complying with a request for Information pursuant to this Article VII, notwithstanding any alternative cost allocation that may have been applicable under the DTSA to the transfer of such Information had such Information been transferred pursuant to the DTSA.

SECTION 7.04. Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of Information pursuant to this Article VII and other provisions of this Agreement, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to retain all Information in such Party’s possession relating to the other Party or its businesses, Assets or Liabilities, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements substantially in accordance with the provisions of the DTSA, as applicable; provided, that any TXMA Records in the Information shall be retained in compliance with any additional retention protocols set forth in the TXMA and, in case of conflict, the TXMA shall prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, such policies shall be deemed to apply to any Information in a Party’s possession or control on or after the Separation Date relating to the other Party or members of its Group.

SECTION 7.05. Disclosure and Financial Reporting. The Parties agree that, for so long as J&J is required to consolidate the results of operations and financial position of Kenvue and any other members of the Kenvue Group or to account for its investment in Kenvue or any other member of the Kenvue Group under the equity method of accounting (determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and consistent with Commission reporting requirements) or to complete a financial statement audit for any such period:

(a) Disclosure and Financial Controls.

(i) Cooperation on J&J Filings.

Kenvue agrees to provide to J&J all information that J&J reasonably requests in connection with any J&J Public Documents or that, in the judgment of J&J’s counsel, is required to be disclosed or incorporated by reference therein under applicable Law. Kenvue will provide such information in a timely manner on the dates reasonably requested by J&J (which may be earlier than the dates on which Kenvue otherwise would be required to have such information available) to enable J&J to prepare, print and release all J&J Public Documents on such dates as J&J may determine. Kenvue will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Kenvue Auditors to consent to any reference to them as experts in any J&J Public Documents required under applicable Law. If and to the extent requested by J&J, Kenvue will diligently and promptly review all drafts of such J&J Public Documents and prepare in a diligent and timely fashion any portion of such J&J Public Documents pertaining to Kenvue. Prior to any printing or public release of any J&J Public Document, an appropriate executive officer of Kenvue will, if requested by J&J, certify that the information relating to any member of the Kenvue Group or the Kenvue Business in such J&J Public Document is accurate, true, complete and correct in all material respects. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Kenvue will not publicly release any financial or other information that conflicts with the information with respect to any member of the Kenvue Group or the Kenvue Business that is included in any J&J Public Document without J&J’s prior written consent. Prior to the release or filing thereof, J&J will provide Kenvue with a draft of any portion of a J&J Public Document containing information relating to the Kenvue Group and will give Kenvue an opportunity to review such information and comment thereon; provided that J&J will determine in its sole and absolute discretion the final form and content of all J&J Public Documents.

(j) Selection of Kenvue Auditors. Unless required by Law, Kenvue will not select an accounting firm other than PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or its affiliate accounting firms) (unless so directed by J&J in accordance with a change by J&J in its accounting firm) to serve as its independent certified public accountants (“Kenvue Auditors”) without J&J’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(k) Information Needed by Auditors. Kenvue shall provide all required financial information with respect to the Kenvue Group to the Kenvue Auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient detail to permit the Kenvue Auditors to take all steps and

provide all reviews necessary to provide sufficient assistance to the J&J Auditors with respect to information to be included or contained in J&J’s annual and quarterly financial statements.

(l) Access to Kenvue Auditors. Kenvue will authorize the Kenvue Auditors to make available to the J&J Auditors both the personnel who performed, or are performing, the annual audit and quarterly reviews of Kenvue and work papers related to the annual audit and quarterly reviews of Kenvue, in all cases within a reasonable time prior to the Kenvue Auditors’ opinion date, so that the J&J Auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of the Kenvue Auditors as it relates to the J&J Auditors’ report on J&J’s financial statements, all within sufficient time to enable J&J to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of J&J’s annual financial statements.

(m) Access to Records. If J&J determines in good faith that there may be some inaccuracy in the financial statements of a member of the Kenvue Group or a deficiency or inadequacy in the internal accounting controls or operations of a member of the Kenvue Group that could materially impact J&J’s financial statements, at J&J’s request, Kenvue will provide the J&J Auditors and J&J’s other representatives with access to the Kenvue Group’s books and records so that J&J may conduct reasonable audits relating to the financial statements provided by Kenvue under this Agreement as well as to the internal accounting controls and operations of the Kenvue Group.

(n) Notice of Changes. Kenvue will give J&J as much prior notice as reasonably practicable of any proposed determination of, or any significant changes in, Kenvue’s accounting estimates or accounting principles from those in effect on the Separation Date. Kenvue will consult with J&J and, if requested by J&J, Kenvue will consult with the J&J Auditors with respect thereto. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Kenvue will not make any such determination or changes without J&J’s prior written consent if such a determination or a change would be sufficiently material to be required to be disclosed in Kenvue’s or J&J’s financial statements as filed with the Commission or otherwise publicly disclosed therein.

(o) Special Reports of Deficiencies or Violations. Kenvue will report in reasonable detail to J&J the following events or circumstances promptly after any executive officer of Kenvue or any member of the board of directors of Kenvue becomes aware of such matter: (i) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Kenvue’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Kenvue’s internal controls over financial reporting, (iii) any illegal act within the meaning of Section 10A(b) and (f) of the Exchange Act, (iv) any report of a material violation of Law that an attorney representing any member of the Kenvue Group has formally made to any officers or directors of Kenvue pursuant to the SEC’s attorney conduct rules and (v) the occurrence of any event following a reporting period that would reasonably be expected to be required by GAAP to be disclosed as a subsequent event in the consolidated financial statements of J&J or Kenvue.

(p) Certifications. In order to enable the principal executive officer(s) and principal financial officer(s) (as such terms are defined in the rules and regulations of the Commission) of J&J to make any certifications required of them under Section 302 or 906 of the

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Kenvue shall, within a reasonable period of time following a request from J&J in anticipation of filing such reports, cause its principal executive officer(s) and principal financial officer(s) to provide J&J with certifications of such officers, in a form reasonably acceptable to J&J, in support of the certifications of J&J’s principal executive officer(s) and principal financial officer(s) required under Section 302 or 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to each Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K of J&J for which J&J is required by Law to consolidate the financial results or financial position of Kenvue and any other members of the Kenvue Group in its financial statements (either on a consolidation or equity accounting basis, determined in accordance with GAAP and consistent with Commission reporting requirements) or complete a financial statement audit for any period during which the financial results or financial position of the Kenvue Group were consolidated with those of J&J.

(q) Designees. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 7.05, all reports, drafts, statements, data, certifications or other information required to be delivered to a Party pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall be required to be delivered to the designees of such Party set forth on Schedule XVI. Each Party may, by notice to the other Party, change the designees to which such information is required to be delivered.

SECTION 7.06. No Liability. Neither J&J nor Kenvue shall have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement that is an estimate or forecast, or that is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to be inaccurate in the absence of willful misconduct by the providing Person. Neither J&J nor Kenvue shall have any Liability to the other Party hereunder if any Information is destroyed after reasonable best efforts by Kenvue or J&J, as applicable, to comply with the provisions of Section 7.04.

SECTION 7.07. Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation. (a) Without limiting any of the rights or obligations or the Parties pursuant to Section 7.01 or Section 7.04, after the Separation Date, except in the case of an Adversarial Action or threatened or contemplated Adversarial Action, each of J&J and Kenvue shall use their reasonable best efforts to make available, upon written request, (i) the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the Persons in its respective Group (whether as witnesses or otherwise) and (ii) any books, records or other documents within its control or that it otherwise has the ability to make available, in each case, to the extent that 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 any Action, threatened or contemplated Action or internal investigation or internal audit (including preparation for any such Action, investigation or audit) in which J&J or Kenvue or any Person in its Group, as applicable, may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action, threatened or contemplated Action or internal investigation or internal audit is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, J&J and Kenvue shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate and consult with each other to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions, threatened or contemplated Actions or internal investigations or internal

audits (including in connection with preparation for any such Action, investigation or audit), other than an Adversarial Action or threatened or contemplated Adversarial Action.

(c) The obligation of J&J and Kenvue to use reasonable best efforts to make available former, current and future directors, officers, employees and other personnel and agents or provide witnesses and experts pursuant to this Section 7.07 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to make available employees and other officers without regard to whether such individual or the employer of such individual could assert a possible business conflict (other than in the case of any Adversarial Action or threatened or contemplated Adversarial Action).

SECTION 7.08. Privileged Matters. (a) The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Separation Closing (whether by outside counsel, in-house counsel or other legal professionals) have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group, and that each of the members of the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group shall be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law in connection therewith. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Separation Closing, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group, as the case may be.

(b) The Parties agree as follows:

(i) J&J 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 J&J Business and not to the Kenvue Business, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the J&J Group or any member of the Kenvue Group. J&J 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 J&J Assets or J&J Liabilities and not any Kenvue Assets or Kenvue Liabilities in connection with 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 J&J Group or any member of the Kenvue Group; and

(ii) Kenvue 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 Kenvue Business and not to the J&J Business, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Kenvue Group or any member of the J&J Group. Kenvue 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 Kenvue Assets or Kenvue Liabilities and not any J&J Assets or J&J Liabilities in connection with 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 Kenvue Group or any member of the J&J Group.

(c) Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 7.08, the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to all privileges and immunities not allocated pursuant to Section 7.08(b) in connection with any Actions or threatened or contemplated 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. Upon the reasonable request of J&J or Kenvue, in connection with any Action or threatened or contemplated Action contemplated by this Article VII, other than any Adversarial Action or threatened or contemplated Adversarial Action, J&J and Kenvue will enter into a mutually acceptable common interest agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any member of either Group.

(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 or any member of their respective Groups, 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 the members of its Group and (iii) not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition consent to any request for waiver by the other Party.

(e) Upon receipt by either Party, or by any member of its respective Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request (or of written notice that it will or has received such 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 the other Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if either Party obtains knowledge or becomes aware that any of its, or any member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests (or have received written notice that they will or have received such 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 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 7.08 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged Information; provided that if such Party is prohibited by applicable Law from disclosing the existence of such subpoena, discovery or other request, such Party shall provide written notice of such related information for which disclosure is not prohibited by applicable Law and use reasonable best efforts to inform the other Party of any related information such Party reasonably determines is necessary or appropriate for the other Party to be informed of to enable the other Party to review the privileged Information and to assert its rights, under this Section 7.08 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged Information.

(f) 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. The Parties further agree that (i) the exchange by one Party to the other Party of any Information that should not have been exchanged pursuant to the terms of

Section 7.09 shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any privilege or immunity that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to such privileged Information and (ii) the Party receiving such privileged Information shall promptly return such privileged Information to the Party who has the right to assert the privilege or immunity.

SECTION 7.09. Confidential Information. (a) Each of J&J and Kenvue, on behalf of itself and each Person in its respective Group, agrees to hold, and cause its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives to hold, in strict confidence, not release or disclose, and protect, with at least the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, that J&J applies to its own confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect immediately prior to the Separation Date, all Information concerning the other Group or its business that is either in its possession (including Information in its possession prior to the Separation Closing) or furnished by the other Group or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not use any such Information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such Information is (i) in the public domain through no fault of any member of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group, as applicable, or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by any member of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group, as applicable, or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel or other advisors or representatives, as applicable, which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation to the knowledge of any member of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group, as applicable, (iii) independently generated without reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group, as applicable, or (iv) required to be disclosed by Law; provided, however, that the Person required to disclose such Information pursuant to this clause (iv) gives the applicable Person prompt, and to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permissible, prior notice of such disclosure and an opportunity to contest such disclosure and shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate, at the expense of the requesting Person, in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by such Person. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Person that is required to disclose such Information shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of such Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of J&J and Kenvue may release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any such Information concerning the other Group (x) to the members of its Group and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives who need to know such Information (who shall be advised of the obligations hereunder with respect to such Information), and (y) prior to the Separation Date, to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization as it reasonably deems necessary, solely for the purpose of obtaining a rating of securities or other debt instruments upon normal terms and conditions; provided, however, that the Party whose Information is being disclosed or released to such rating organization is promptly notified thereof.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, when any Information concerning the other Group or its business is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each of J&J and Kenvue will, reasonably promptly after the request of

the other Party, either return all Information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or certify to the other Party, as applicable, that it has destroyed such Information, other than, in each case, any such Information electronically preserved or recorded within any computerized data storage device or component (including any hard-drive or database) pursuant to automatic or routine backup or storage procedures.

ARTICLE VIII

Insurance

SECTION 8.01. Access to Insurance. (a) With respect to Liabilities that constitute Kenvue Liabilities or are otherwise incurred by a member of the Kenvue Group, in each case to the extent related to or arising from an occurrence prior to the Separation Date, any rights to insurance coverage to the extent applicable to those Liabilities under Commercial Insurance Policies issued to any member of the J&J Group are hereby assigned by J&J (on behalf of itself and the applicable members of its Group) to the applicable members of the Kenvue Group on that same date. J&J shall (or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to) provide the applicable member of the Kenvue Group with, from the Separation Date, access to, and the right to make claims under, the applicable Commercial Insurance Policy; provided that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such Commercial Insurance Policy shall be subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of such policy, including any limits on coverage or scope, and any deductibles, self-insured retentions, retrospective premiums and other chargeback amounts, fees, costs and expenses, and shall be subject to the following:

(i) if and to the extent Kenvue or other members of the Kenvue Group are the only entities making a claim for coverage under such Commercial Insurance Policy in respect of a particular claim for coverage, (A) if permitted under such Commercial Insurance Policy, the applicable members of the Kenvue Group shall be responsible for the submission, administration and management of any claims under such Commercial Insurance Policy, and J&J shall reasonably cooperate with Kenvue in connection therewith; provided, that Kenvue shall provide reasonable notice to J&J or the relevant member of the J&J Group, as applicable, prior to submitting any such claim; and (B) if such Commercial Insurance Policy does not permit the applicable members of the Kenvue Group to directly submit claims under such Commercial Insurance Policy, Kenvue shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the Kenvue Group to, report any potential claims under such Commercial Insurance Policy as soon as reasonably practicable to J&J and J&J shall, or shall cause the relevant member of the J&J Group to, reasonably promptly submit such claims directly to the applicable insurer on behalf of Kenvue and reasonably cooperate with Kenvue in connection with the submission of such claim; provided that with respect to any such claims, Kenvue (or the applicable member of the Kenvue Group) shall (x) be responsible for (1) the preparation of any documents or forms that are required for the submission of such claims and (2) the administration and management of such claims after submission, and (y) provide J&J or the relevant member of the J&J Group, as applicable, with such documents, forms or other information necessary for the submission of such claims by J&J or the relevant member of the J&J Group, as applicable, on behalf of Kenvue (or the applicable member of the Kenvue Group);

(ii) if and to the extent Kenvue or other members of the Kenvue Group are the only entities recovering under such Commercial Insurance Policy in respect of a particular claim for coverage, Kenvue (or the applicable members of the Kenvue Group) shall be responsible for any payments to the applicable Commercial Insurer under such Commercial Insurance Policy relating to its claims submissions, and shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse J&J (and the relevant members of the J&J Group) for any deductibles, captive reinsurance or self-insured retentions, retrospective premiums and other chargeback amounts, fees, costs and expenses incurred by J&J (or any other members of the J&J Group) to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by or on behalf of Kenvue (or any other members of the Kenvue Group) under, any such Commercial Insurance Policy provided pursuant to this Section 8.01(a), including any indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are submitted directly or indirectly by or on behalf of Kenvue, another member of the Kenvue Group, its or their employees or third parties;

(iii) if J&J and Kenvue (or other members of their respective Groups) jointly make a claim for coverage under such Commercial Insurance Policy for amounts that have been or may in the future be incurred partially by J&J (or other members of the J&J Group) and partially by Kenvue (or other members of the Kenvue Group), then J&J and Kenvue will cooperate with each other in pursuit of such coverage and waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to pursue any such claim (provided that nothing in this Section 8.01(a)(iii) shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, whether arising under any contract or agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise), and any insurance recovery therefrom shall first be allocated to reimburse J&J and Kenvue (and the other members of their respective Groups, as applicable) for their respective costs, legal and consulting fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in pursuing such insurance recovery, and then the remaining amounts shall be allocated among the Parties in an equitable manner;

(iv) Kenvue (or the applicable members of the Kenvue Group) shall bear (and none of J&J or any member of the J&J Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse any members of the Kenvue Group for) and shall be liable for all excluded, uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by Kenvue or any members of the Kenvue Group under such Commercial Insurance Policy (unless otherwise constituting a J&J Liability); and

(v) no member of the Kenvue Group, in connection with making a claim under any such Commercial Insurance Policy pursuant to this Section 8.01(a), shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to (w) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between any member of the J&J Group, on the one hand, and the applicable Commercial Insurer, on the other hand; (x) result in the applicable Commercial Insurer terminating or reducing coverage to, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by, any member of the J&J Group under such policy; (y) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of any member of the J&J Group under such policy; or (z) otherwise compromise or impair the ability of J&J to enforce its rights with respect to any indemnification under or arising out of this Agreement or any

other Ancillary Agreement, and J&J shall have the right to cause Kenvue to desist, or cause any other member of the Kenvue Group to desist, from any action that it reasonably determines would compromise or impair its rights in accordance with this clause (z); provided, that this Section 8.01(a)(v) shall not preclude or otherwise restrict any member of the Kenvue Group from reporting claims to insurers in the ordinary course of business.

(b) With respect to any Commercial Insurance Policies which the Kenvue Group has access to, and the right to make claims under, pursuant to Section 8.01(a), claims shall be paid and the applicable limits under such Commercial Insurance Policies shall be reduced, in each case, in accordance with the terms of such Commercial Insurance Policies and without any priority or preference shown or given to either J&J or Kenvue (or any other members of their respective Groups), absent any written agreement between the Parties otherwise; provided, however, that none of J&J or Kenvue (or any other member of their respective Groups) shall accelerate or delay either the notification and submission of claims, on the one hand, or the demand for coverage for and receipt of insurance payments, on the other hand, in a manner that would differ from that which each would follow in the ordinary course when acting without regard to sufficiency of limits of such Commercial Insurance Policies.

(c) Except as provided in Section 8.04, J&J (or the applicable member of the J&J Group) shall retain the exclusive right to control the insurance policies and programs (including the Commercial Insurance Policies) of the J&J Group, including to terminate, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back, amend, modify, waive any rights under or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any such insurance policies and programs, irrespective of whether any such insurance policies or programs apply to Kenvue Liabilities and/or claims that Kenvue has made or could make in the future.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Separation Closing, neither Kenvue nor any member of the Kenvue Group shall have access to, nor the right to make claims under, any insurance policies or programs of the J&J Group that are not Commercial Insurance Policies (“Non-Commercial Insurance Policies”). Effective as of the Separation Closing, Kenvue does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Kenvue Group, release any rights such Persons may have to recover under any Non-Commercial Insurance Policy. From and after the Separation Closing, to the extent any insurer makes a payment in respect of a Non-Commercial Insurance Policy to or on behalf of a member of the Kenvue Group, Kenvue shall promptly pay an equivalent amount to J&J.

SECTION 8.02. Coverage After the Separation. It is the responsibility of the Kenvue Group to obtain continuing insurance coverage for the Assets of the Kenvue Group and for the Liabilities of the Kenvue Group accruing after the Separation Closing. J&J shall provide, and shall cause the other members of the J&J Group to provide, such cooperation as is reasonably requested by Kenvue in order for Kenvue to have in effect after the Separation Closing such new insurance policies and programs as Kenvue deems reasonably appropriate.

SECTION 8.03. No Assignment of Entire Insurance Policies. This Agreement shall not be considered an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance in its entirety, nor is it considered to be itself a contract of insurance, and further this Agreement shall not be

construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the J&J Group under or with respect to any Commercial Insurance Policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

SECTION 8.04. Director and Officer Liability Insurance. (a) Until the Separation Closing, J&J shall maintain directors and officers liability insurance policies or fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance Policies”) for officers and directors of the Kenvue Group to the extent commercially available and at premiums not materially different than the coverage in effect as of the date hereof, and shall not take any action that would adversely and disproportionately affect the coverage available to officers and directors of the Kenvue Group for D&O Indemnification Liabilities as compared to the officers and directors of the J&J Group; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, during the period between the Separation Closing and the Distribution Date, J&J may elect, in its sole discretion, to cover the applicable liabilities of the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group under D&O Insurance Policies that cover both the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group in the same policy.

(b) On and after the Separation Closing, to the extent that any claims have been duly reported before the Separation Closing or are otherwise covered under the D&O Insurance Policies maintained by members of the J&J Group, J&J shall not, and shall cause the members of the J&J Group not to, take any action intended to limit the coverage of the individuals who acted as directors or officers of Kenvue (or other members of the Kenvue Group) prior to the Separation Closing for D&O Indemnification Liabilities under any D&O Insurance Policies maintained by the members of the J&J Group. On and after the Separation Closing, J&J shall, and shall cause the other members of the J&J Group to, reasonably cooperate with the individuals who acted as directors and officers of Kenvue (or other members of the Kenvue Group) prior to the Separation Closing in their pursuit of any coverage claims under such D&O Insurance Policies for D&O Indemnification Liabilities which could inure to the benefit of such individuals. Kenvue acknowledges that it is the responsibility of the Kenvue Group to obtain continuing insurance coverage for the directors and officers of the members of the Kenvue Group for Liabilities accruing after the Separation Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group are covered during the period between the Separation Closing and the Distribution Date under D&O Insurance Policies that cover both the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group in the same policy, the term “Separation Closing” shall be deleted and replaced with the term “Distribution Date” wherever the term “Separation Closing” appears prior to this sentence in this Section 8.04(b).

ARTICLE IX

Further Assurances and Additional Covenants

SECTION 9.01. Further Assurances. (a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall, subject to Section 4.04 and Section 5.02(a), use reasonable best efforts, prior to, on and after the Separation Date, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, prior to, on and after the Separation Date, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party (i) to execute and deliver, or use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments as such Party may reasonably be requested to execute and deliver by the other Party, (ii) to make, or cause to be made, all filings with, and to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all Governmental Approvals or other Consents required by Law or otherwise necessary or advisable under any ruling, judgment, Permit, agreement, indenture or other instrument, (iii) to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any Governmental Approvals or other Consents required to effect the Separation, any transfers pursuant to Section 2.07, the Initial Public Offering, the Distribution or the Other Disposition, or to conduct the Kenvue Business or the J&J Business, as each was conducted as of the Separation Date, from and after the Separation Date and (iv) to take, or cause to be taken, all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by the other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and any transfers of Assets or assignments and assumptions of Liabilities hereunder and the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that neither Party nor any member of its Group shall be required to pay or grant any consideration or concession in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or submit any such Governmental Approval or Consent.

(c) On or prior to the Separation Date, J&J and Kenvue, in their respective capacities as direct and indirect shareholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by Kenvue or any other Subsidiary of J&J, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Prior to the Distribution Date, Kenvue will not, without the prior written consent of J&J (which it may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), issue (i) any shares of Kenvue Voting Stock or any rights, warrants or options to acquire Kenvue Voting Stock (including, without limitation, securities convertible into or exchangeable for Kenvue Voting Stock) or (ii) any share of Kenvue Non-Voting Stock; provided that, regardless of whether or not J&J shall have consented thereto, in no case shall any such issuance (after giving effect to such issuance and considering all the shares of Kenvue Voting Stock or Kenvue Non-Voting Stock acquirable pursuant to any rights, warrants and options that may be outstanding on the date of such issuance (whether or not then exercisable)), result in J&J owning directly or indirectly less than the number of shares necessary to (x) constitute control of Kenvue within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code or (y) meet the stock-ownership requirements described in Section 1504(a)(2) of the Code (in each case, if the number 80.1% were substituted for the number 80 each time it appears in such Sections).

(b) This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter, and there are no agreements or understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, it is the intention of the Parties that this Agreement shall be consistent with the terms of the Ancillary Agreements. If there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any specific provision of an applicable Ancillary Agreement, such Ancillary Agreement shall control; provided that with respect to any Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument, this Agreement shall control unless specifically stated otherwise in such Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument.

(c) J&J represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the J&J Group, and Kenvue represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the Kenvue Group, as follows:

(i) each such Person has the requisite corporate or other power and authority and has taken all corporate or other action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform each of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and

(ii) this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party has been (or, in the case of any Ancillary Agreement, will be on or prior to the Separation Date) duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes, or will constitute, a valid and binding agreement of it enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof.

SECTION 11.02. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Jurisdiction. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws thereof.

(b) Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement between the Parties (a “Dispute”), either Party may refer such Dispute to the respective senior officers of such Parties by delivering written notice of such Dispute to the other Party (a “Negotiation Notice”). Upon delivery of a Negotiation Notice, each Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation among their respective senior officers who hold, at a minimum, the title of Executive Vice President and who have authority to settle such Dispute.

(c) If the Parties are unable to resolve any Dispute within 30 calendar days of the delivery of a Negotiation Notice, then either Party shall have the right to initiate non-binding mediation by delivering written notice to the other Party (a “Mediation Notice”).

Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement without consent in connection with (a) a merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets, or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets; provided, however, that the assignee expressly assumes in writing all of the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement, and the assigning Party provides written notice and evidence of such assignment and assumption to the non-assigning Party. No assignment permitted by this Section 11.03 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 11.04. Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification rights under this Agreement of any J&J Indemnitee or Kenvue Indemnitee in their respective capacities as such, (a) the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and are not intended to confer upon any Person except the Parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder and (b) there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third person with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Upon any such determination, any such provision, to the extent determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be deemed replaced by a provision that such court determines is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

Each Party’s aforementioned obligations in this Section 11.07 shall terminate on the date on which such Party’s First Post-Distribution Report is filed with the Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that immediately following the Separation Closing, J&J shall publish a statement regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on its website located at jnj.com and on its primary social media channels (the wording of the statement in each case to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties), and J&J further agrees that it shall maintain the approved statement on jnj.com for a period of time following the Separation Closing, the duration of such period to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

SECTION 11.08. Expenses.

Waiver by any Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default.

(ii) the breach by such Party of any covenant herein (including those set forth in Section 4.04(a) without regard for Section 4.04(c)) or in the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(iii) (A) the application of Sections 355(a)(1)(B), 355(e) or 355(f) of the Code to any of the Transactions by virtue of any acquisition (or deemed acquisition) of Stock or assets of such Party or its Affiliates or (B) the failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 355(a)(1)(C) of the Code with respect to any of the Transactions by virtue of any act or omission by such Party or its Affiliates after the date hereof; or

(iv) any other act or omission by such Party or its Affiliates that it knows or reasonably should expect, assuming it had consulted with a Tax Advisor, could give rise to Transaction Taxes (except to the extent such act or omission is otherwise expressly required or permitted by this Agreement (other than under Section 4.04(c)), the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement).

(b) All Transaction Taxes that are Foreign Reorganization Taxes shall be allocated to a Party to the extent such Foreign Reorganization Taxes would not have been imposed but for any action or omission by such Party that would reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of Foreign Reorganization Taxes that were not otherwise expected to be incurred.

(c) To the extent any Transaction Taxes would be allocated both to one of Kenvue or J&J under Section 2.05(a)(iii) and to the other Party under Sections 2.05(a)(i), 2.05(a)(ii), 2.05(a)(iv) or 2.05(b), such Transaction Taxes shall be allocated solely to the Party to which such Transaction Taxes would be allocated under Section 2.05(a)(iii). To the extent any Transaction Taxes (other than those described in the immediately preceding sentence) would be allocated both to J&J and Kenvue under Section 2.05(a) or Section 2.05 (b), such Transaction Taxes shall be allocated between J&J and Kenvue in proportion to the relative contribution of the members of the J&J Group (and such members’ Affiliates), on the one hand, and the members of the Kenvue Group (and such members’ Affiliates and counterparties to any consummated Proposed Acquisition Transactions, if applicable), on the other hand, to the circumstances giving rise to such Transaction Taxes.

(d) To the extent any Transaction Tax (i) is not allocated under Sections 2.05(a) , 2.05(b) or 2.05(c) or (ii) is a Foreign Reorganization Tax that was expected to be incurred in accordance with the Intended Tax Treatment provided on Schedule A, as determined by J&J in good faith, the Transaction Tax shall be allocated to J&J.

SECTION 2.06. Refunds. (a) Except as provided in Schedule J, if J&J, Kenvue or any of their respective Affiliates receives any refund of any Taxes that the other Party has paid (the Party receiving, or whose Affiliate receives, such refund, a “Refund Recipient”), the Refund Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pay to the other Party the entire amount of the refund (net of any Taxes imposed and reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred with respect to the receipt of such refund) within 60 calendar days of receipt, and in any event shall pay to the other Party such amount as soon as practicable; provided, however, that the other Party, upon the request of the Refund Recipient, shall repay the amount paid to the other Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority) in the event the Refund Recipient or any of its Affiliates is required to repay such refund. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.06, J&J shall be treated as having paid any Taxes of any member of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group paid prior to the date hereof.

(b) If a Party would be a Refund Recipient but for the fact it (or its Affiliate) applied a refund to which it (or its Affiliate) would otherwise have been entitled to against a Tax liability arising in a subsequent taxable period, then for purposes of this Section 2.06, (i) such Party shall be treated as a Refund Recipient, (ii) the economic benefit of so applying the refund shall be treated as a refund and (iii) such Party shall be treated as receiving such refund on the due date of the Tax Return to which such refund is applied to reduce the subsequent Tax liability.

(c) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with past practice to obtain any refund to which this Section 2.06 would apply.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.06 shall not apply to any foreign tax credit or similar credit.

SECTION 2.07. Apportioned Tax Attributes.

(a) J&J shall in good faith advise Kenvue in writing of the amount, if any, of any Specified Apportioned Tax Attributes which J&J determines in its good faith discretion shall be allocated or apportioned to the Kenvue Group (or member thereof) under applicable Law.

(b) Kenvue may request that J&J undertake a determination of the portion, if any, of any Apportioned Tax Attribute (other than any Specified Apportioned Tax Attributes) to be allocated or apportioned to the Kenvue Group (or any member thereof) under applicable Law. To the extent such Apportioned Tax Attribute is required to be allocated or apportioned to the Kenvue Group (or any member thereof) under applicable Law, J&J shall use commercially reasonable efforts to undertake such a determination without engaging a third-party advisor. If J&J determines in its reasonable discretion that it cannot perform such a determination without the advice of a third-party advisor, it shall engage Ernst & Young LLP or another nationally recognized accounting firm to provide such advice. Kenvue shall reimburse J&J for all reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by J&J or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such determination requested by Kenvue within 60 calendar days after receiving an invoice from J&J therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.07(b) shall not be construed as obligating J&J to undertake a determination with respect to any Apportioned Tax Attribute (other than any Specified Apportioned Tax Attribute) if J&J concludes in its reasonable discretion that it is not practicable in light of the information available to J&J.

(c) If J&J undertakes a determination of any Apportioned Tax Attribute (including any Specified Apportioned Tax Attribute), whether or not at the request of Kenvue, J&J shall in good faith advise Kenvue in writing of the amount, if any, of such Apportioned Tax Attribute that J&J determines in its good faith discretion shall be allocated or apportioned to the Kenvue Group (or any member thereof) under applicable Law. Kenvue agrees that it shall accept such determination and Kenvue and all members of the Kenvue Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance therewith, unless there is no reasonable basis for such allocation or apportionment.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, J&J shall not be liable to any member of the Kenvue Group for any failure of any allocation or apportionment made pursuant to this Section 2.07 to be accurate or sustained under applicable Law.

SECTION 2.08. Treatment of Indemnity Payments. (a) Character. Any Indemnity Payment (other than any portion of a payment that represents interest) shall be treated by the Parties (and their respective Affiliates) for all Tax purposes, if made by Kenvue to J&J (or by or to their respective Affiliates), as a distribution from Kenvue to J&J and, if made by J&J to Kenvue (or by or to their respective Affiliates), as a contribution from J&J to Kenvue, in each case, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law. If such payment is made after the Distribution, such distribution or contribution shall be treated as made immediately before the Distribution, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b) Net of Taxes. The amount of any Indemnity Payment shall be (i) increased to take account of any Tax cost actually incurred by the Indemnitee resulting from the receipt of the Indemnity Payment, including any Tax cost arising from such Indemnity Payment having resulted in income or gain to either Party, for example, under Section 1.1502-19 of the Regulations (in each case, including Taxes imposed on payments of such additional amounts pursuant to this clause (i)) and (ii) reduced to take account of any cash Tax benefit arising from the incurrence or payment of the loss in respect of which the Indemnity Payment is made that is actually realized by the Indemnitee in the taxable year in which such loss is incurred.

(c) Timing of Indemnity Payments. Any amount payable under Sections 2.01 or 2.02 shall be due within 60 calendar days after receiving an invoice from the other Party therefor.

ARTICLE III

Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns

SECTION 3.01. Filing of Returns. (a) Consolidated Returns. J&J shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) each U.S. Federal income Tax Return required to be filed on behalf of the J&J Consolidated Group (a “J&J Consolidated Return”). J&J shall include the Kenvue Consolidated Group in such Tax Return if entitled to do so under applicable Law.

(b) Combined Returns. For each taxable year for which it is permissible to file a Tax Return on a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar basis (other than a J&J Consolidated Return) that would include one or more members of the Kenvue Group and one or more members of the J&J Group (a “Combined Return”), J&J may, in its sole discretion but subject to applicable Law and prior to the due date for the first Estimated Tax Payment owed with respect to such Combined Return, determine whether to file such Combined Return and whether to

include certain or all of the relevant members of the J&J Group or Kenvue Group in such Tax Return. J&J shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) any Combined Return required to be filed by a member of the J&J Group under applicable Law and J&J shall prepare and Kenvue shall timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) any Combined Return required to be filed by a member of the Kenvue Group under applicable Law.

(c) Separate Returns. For all Tax Returns other than J&J Consolidated Returns and Combined Returns (“Separate Returns”), the Party provided on Schedule I shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) any such Separate Return (such Separate Returns designated to be prepared by Kenvue, “Kenvue Prepared Returns”, and such Separate Returns designated to be prepared by J&J, together with J&J Consolidated Returns and Combined Returns, “J&J Prepared Returns”) and the Party required by law shall timely file (or cause to be timely filed) any such Separate Return. Any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred in preparing a Separate Return shall be borne as provided on Schedule I.

(d) Transfer Pricing Documentation. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.01 and Section 3.02, Kenvue shall prepare any Transfer Pricing Documentation with respect to a Kenvue Prepared Return and J&J shall prepare any Transfer Pricing Documentation with respect to a J&J Prepared Return. The Party responsible under this Section 3.01(d) for preparing such Transfer Pricing Documentation shall provide a copy of such Transfer Pricing Documentation to the other Party upon such other Party’s reasonable request.

SECTION 3.02. Method of Preparing Tax Returns. (a) J&J-Prepared Tax Returns. To the extent that any J&J Prepared Return directly relates to matters for which Kenvue must pay the J&J Group under Section 3.04 or must indemnify the J&J Group under Section 2.02 or to matters affecting any Kenvue Prepared Return (including any refund or other Tax Attribute to which a member of the Kenvue Group is entitled), J&J shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) the relevant portion of such J&J Prepared Return, as the case may be, on a basis consistent with past practice (except as required by applicable Law). J&J shall notify Kenvue of any such portions not prepared on a basis consistent with past practice.

(b) Kenvue-Prepared Tax Returns. To the extent that any Kenvue Prepared Return directly relates to any Pre-Distribution Period, to matters for which J&J must pay the Kenvue Group under Section 3.04 or must indemnify the Kenvue Group under Section 2.01 or to matters affecting any J&J Prepared Return (including any refund or other Tax Attribute to which a member of the J&J Group is entitled), Kenvue shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) the relevant portion of such Tax Return on a basis consistent with past practice (except as required by applicable Law). Kenvue shall notify J&J of any such portions not prepared on a basis consistent with past practice.

(i) Subject to Section 3.02(c)(ii), the Party responsible under Section 3.01 for preparing (or causing to be prepared) a Tax Return shall use good faith efforts to make such Tax Return or relevant portions thereof and related workpapers available for review by the other Party at least 20 Business Days prior to the due date (including any available extensions) for filing such Tax Return; provided, that any failure by the preparing Party to make available such Tax Return (or relevant portions thereof) at least 20 Business Days prior to such due date shall not relieve the other Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the other Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. The preparing Party shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by such other Party at least 10 Business Days prior to the due date (including any available extensions), in each case to the extent (i) such Tax Return relates to Taxes for which such other Party may be liable (under applicable Law or pursuant to this Agreement) or otherwise affects the preparation of Tax Returns prepared (or caused to be prepared) by such other Party or (ii) adjustments to the amount of Taxes reported on such Tax Return may affect the determination of Taxes for which such other Party may be liable (under applicable Law or pursuant to this Agreement). The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising out of the review of such Tax Returns.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, J&J shall not be required to provide Kenvue the opportunity to review, and Kenvue shall have no rights with respect to, (x) any J&J Consolidated Return or (y) any Combined Return that is a U.S. state or local income Tax Return.

SECTION 3.03. Cooperation.

(a) Information Packages. Each Party (i) shall provide to the other Party (in the format reasonably determined by the other Party) all information and assistance requested by the other Party as reasonably necessary to prepare any Tax Return described in Section 3.01 on a timely basis consistent with the current practices of J&J and its Subsidiaries in preparing Tax Returns and (ii) in so providing such information and assistance, shall use any systems and third-party service providers as are consistent with the current practices of J&J and its Subsidiaries in preparing Tax Returns.

(b) Consents and Elections. J&J and Kenvue shall prepare, sign and timely file (or cause to be prepared, signed and timely filed) any consents, elections and other documents and take any other actions, in each case, solely to the extent necessary or appropriate to effect the filing of the Tax Returns described in Section 3.01.

SECTION 3.04. Payment of Taxes.

(a) The Party responsible under Section 3.01 for filing (or causing to be filed) a Tax Return (the “Tax Return Filer”) shall timely pay (or cause to be paid) any Taxes shown as due on that Tax Return to the relevant Taxing Authority. The obligation to make payments pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(d) shall not affect a Party’s right, if any, to receive payments under Section 3.04(b) or otherwise be indemnified with respect to the applicable Taxes.

(b) In addition to its obligations under Section 3.02, the relevant Tax Return Preparer shall, no later than 5 Business Days before the due date (including extensions) of any Tax Return described in Section 3.01, notify the other Party of any amount (or any portion of any such amount) shown as due on that Tax Return for which the non-filing Party must indemnify the Tax Return Filer under this Agreement and, if the Tax Return Preparer is not the Tax Return Filer, a final copy of any such Tax Return. The non-filing Party shall pay any such amount to the Tax Return Filer no later than 60 calendar days following the due date (including extensions) of the relevant Tax Return. A failure by an Indemnitee to give notice or provide a final copy of any such Tax Return as provided in this Section 3.04(b) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(c) Any notice provided pursuant to Section 3.04(b) shall include a written statement setting forth (i) the aggregate amount of Tax shown as due on the applicable Tax Return and (ii) reasonably detailed calculations showing the amount for which the non-filing Party must indemnify the Tax Return Filer under this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Tax Return Preparer determines that an Estimated Tax Payment is due with respect to any Tax Return described in Section 3.01, (i) if the Tax Return Preparer is not J&J, the Tax Return Preparer shall notify J&J of the amount of such Estimated Tax Payment reasonably in advance of the payment due date, (ii) J&J shall determine the portion, if any, of such Estimated Tax Payment allocable to Kenvue under the principles of Section 2.03(a)(iii), (iii) the non-filing Party with respect to such Tax Return shall pay its allocable portion of such Estimated Tax Payment no later than 60 calendar days following the due date of such Estimated Tax Payment and (iv) the Tax Return Filer shall timely pay such Estimated Tax Payment to the appropriate Taxing Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, no amount shall be payable to any non-filing Party in respect of any Estimated Tax Payment; provided, that if the aggregate amount of Estimated Tax Payments paid by the non-filing Party with respect to a Tax Return exceeds the amount payable by such non-filing Party with respect to that Tax Return under Section 3.03(b), the Tax Return Filer shall be treated as a Refund Recipient that received a refund equal to such excess on the due date of the relevant Tax Return

that is due to the non-filing Party under Section 2.06. A failure by an Indemnitee to give notice or determine an allocation as provided in this Section 3.04(d) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

SECTION 3.05. Amendments. Kenvue shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) file, amend, withdraw, revoke or otherwise alter any Tax Return if doing so would reasonably be expected to (a) obligate J&J to make an Indemnity Payment under Article II, (b) cause J&J or any of its Affiliates to incur any Taxes for which it is not indemnified under this Agreement or (c) adversely affect a refund or other Tax Attribute to which J&J or any of its Affiliates is entitled, in each case without the prior written consent of J&J.

SECTION 3.06. Carrybacks. Kenvue shall (and shall cause members of the Kenvue Group to) waive, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, carrybacks of Tax Attributes from any Post-Distribution Period to any Pre-Distribution Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any member of the Kenvue Group carries back a Tax Attribute from a Post-Distribution Period to a Pre-Distribution Period, no payment shall be due from J&J with respect to that carryback, regardless of whether such carryback is required by Law or permitted by J&J.

ARTICLE IV

Tax Matters Relating to the Distribution

SECTION 4.01. Mutual Representations. Each Party represents on behalf of itself and the other members of its Group that as of the date of this Agreement:

(a) it knows of no fact, and has no plan or intention to take any action, that it knows or reasonably should expect, assuming it had consulted with a Tax Advisor, (i) is inconsistent with the qualification of any of the Transactions for their Intended Tax Treatment or (ii) would adversely affect the effectiveness or validity of any Transaction Ruling that has been requested or received; and

(b) all Representations made by it or its Affiliates are true, correct and complete.

SECTION 4.02. Tax Opinions. The Parties shall use their best efforts to cause the J&J Tax Opinions to be issued, including by executing any Representation Letters reasonably requested in connection with the J&J Tax Opinions; provided, that each Party shall have been provided with a reasonable opportunity to review, comment and consent to the content of any Representation Letter to be executed by it (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

SECTION 4.03. Mutual Covenants. Neither Party shall take or fail to take, or permit their respective Affiliates to take or fail to take, any action, if such action or omission (i) would be inconsistent with the Representations made by it or its Affiliates, (ii) would cause any such Representations to be untrue when made or (iii) would be inconsistent with the qualification of any of the Transactions for their Intended Tax Treatment.

SECTION 4.04. Restricted Actions. (a) Subject to Section 4.04(b), from the date hereof until the first day after the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date (or other term provided in Schedule E), Kenvue shall not (and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates to), in a single transaction or a series of transactions:

(i) cause or allow the Kenvue Group to cease to engage in any Active Trade or Business;

(iv) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or indirectly) any Stock of Kenvue or any Internal Restricted Entity, except to the extent such redemptions or repurchases satisfy Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to its amendment by Revenue Procedure 2003-48);

(v) amend the certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents) of Kenvue or any Internal Restricted Entity, or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the voting rights of Kenvue or any Internal

Restricted Entity (including, without limitation, through (i) the conversion of one class of Stock of Kenvue or any Internal Restricted Entity into another class of Stock of Kenvue or such Internal Restricted Entity, respectively, or (ii) the declassification of the board of directors (or analogous supervisory or managing body) of Kenvue or any Internal Restricted Entity);

(vi) take any of the actions specified in Schedule E;

(vii) enter into a Proposed Acquisition Transaction; or

(viii) take any affirmative action that permits a Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur by means of an agreement to which it is not a party (including by (A) redeeming rights under a shareholder rights plan, (B) finding a tender offer to be a “permitted offer” under any such plan or otherwise causing any such plan to be inapplicable or neutralized with respect to any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or (C) approving any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, whether for purposes of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporate Law or any similar corporate statute, or any “fair price” or other provision of its charter or bylaws or otherwise).

(b) Definition of Proposed Acquisition Transaction. (i) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Proposed Acquisition Transaction” means a transaction or series of transactions (or any agreement, understanding or arrangement to enter into a transaction or series of transactions) as determined for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code, in connection with which one or more Persons would (directly or indirectly) acquire, or have the right to acquire (including pursuant to an option, warrant or other conversion right), from any other Person or Persons, Stock of Kenvue or any Internal Restricted Entity that, when combined with any other acquisitions of the Stock of Kenvue or such Internal Restricted Entity, respectively, that occur in or after the Initial Public Offering (including any Stock of Kenvue retained by J&J after the Initial Public Offering to be disposed of in the Other Disposition, but excluding any acquisition that occurs in any transaction that is excluded from the definition of Proposed Acquisition Transaction under Section 4.04(b)(ii)), comprises 30% or more of the value or the total combined voting power of all interests that are treated as outstanding equity in Kenvue or such Internal Restricted Entity, respectively, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes immediately after such transaction or, in the case of a series of transactions, immediately after any transaction in such series. For this purpose, any recapitalization, repurchase or redemption of the Stock of, and any amendment to the certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents) of, Kenvue or any Internal Restricted Entity shall be treated as an indirect acquisition of the Stock of Kenvue or such Internal Restricted Entity, respectively, by any shareholder to the extent such shareholder’s

percentage interest in interests that are treated as outstanding equity in Kenvue or such Internal Restricted Entity, respectively, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes increases by vote or value.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 4.04(b)(i), a Proposed Acquisition Transaction shall not include (A) the adoption of a shareholder rights plan that meets the requirements of IRS Revenue Ruling 90-11, 1990-1 C.B. 10, (B) any acquisition of Stock that satisfies Safe Harbor VII (relating to acquisitions of stock listed on an established market) of Section 1.355-7(d) of the Regulations or (C) issuances of Stock that satisfy Safe Harbor VIII (relating to acquisitions in connection with a person’s performance of services) or Safe Harbor IX (relating to acquisitions by a retirement plan of an employer) of Section 1.355-7(d) of the Regulations; provided, however, that such transaction or series of transactions shall constitute a Proposed Acquisition Transaction if meaningful factual diligence is necessary to establish that Section 4.04(b)(ii)(A), (B) or (C) applies.

(iii) The provisions of this Section 4.04(b), including the definition of “Proposed Acquisition Transaction”, are intended to monitor compliance with Section 355(e) of the Code and shall be interpreted accordingly. Any clarification of, or change in, Section 355(e) of the Code or the Regulations thereunder shall be incorporated in this Section 4.04(b) and its interpretation.

(c) Consent to Take Certain Restricted Actions. (i) Kenvue may (and may cause or permit its Affiliates to) take an action otherwise prohibited under Section 4.04(a) if J&J consents in writing. J&J may not withhold its consent if Kenvue has received (and provided J&J with) Satisfactory Guidance. In all other cases, J&J’s consent shall be at its sole discretion.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Satisfactory Guidance” means either a Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion, at the election of Kenvue, concluding that the proposed action will not cause any of the Transactions to fail to qualify for its Intended Tax Treatment. Such Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion will constitute Satisfactory Guidance only if it is satisfactory in both form and substance to J&J in its sole discretion, which discretion shall be reasonably exercised in good faith. In determining whether an Unqualified Tax Opinion is satisfactory, J&J may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions or representations and J&J’s views on the substantive merits of the legal analysis contained therein, and J&J may determine that no Unqualified Tax Opinion would be acceptable to J&J.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Unqualified Tax Opinion” means an unqualified “will” opinion of a Tax Advisor that permits reliance by J&J. The Tax Advisor, in issuing its opinion, shall be permitted to rely on the validity and correctness, as of the date given, of any previously issued Rulings and any tax opinions previously

issued by a Tax Advisor, unless such reliance would be unreasonable under the circumstances, and shall assume that each of the Transactions would have qualified for its Intended Tax Treatment if the action in question did not occur.

(d) Procedures Regarding Opinions and Rulings. (i) If Kenvue notifies J&J that it desires to take a restricted action described in Section 4.04(a) and seeks Satisfactory Guidance for purposes of Section 4.04(c), J&J, at the request of Kenvue, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously obtain, or assist Kenvue in obtaining, such Satisfactory Guidance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, J&J shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 4.04(d) if, upon request, Kenvue fails to certify that all information and representations relating to Kenvue or any of its Affiliates in the relevant documents are true, correct and complete or fails to obtain certification from any counterparty to any Proposed Acquisition Transaction that all information and representations relating to such counterparty in the relevant documents are true, correct and complete. Kenvue shall reimburse J&J for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by J&J or any of its Affiliates in obtaining Satisfactory Guidance within 60 calendar days after receiving an invoice from J&J therefor.

(ii) J&J shall have the right to obtain a Ruling, any other guidance from any Taxing Authority or an opinion of a Tax Advisor relating to the Transactions at any time in J&J’s sole discretion. Kenvue, at the request of J&J, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously obtain, or assist J&J in obtaining, any such Ruling, other guidance or opinion; provided, however, that Kenvue shall not be required to make any representation or covenant that it does not reasonably believe is (and will continue to be) true, accurate and consistent with historical facts. J&J shall reimburse Kenvue for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Kenvue or any of its Affiliates in obtaining any such Ruling, other guidance or opinion requested by J&J within 10 Business Days after receiving an invoice from Kenvue therefor.

(iii) J&J shall have exclusive control over the process of obtaining any Ruling or other guidance from any Taxing Authority concerning the Transactions, and Kenvue shall not independently seek any Ruling or other guidance concerning the Transactions at any time. In connection with any Ruling requested by Kenvue pursuant to Section 4.04(d) or that can reasonably be expected to affect Kenvue’s liabilities under this Agreement, J&J shall (A) keep Kenvue informed of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by J&J, (B) reasonably in advance of the submission of any ruling request provide Kenvue with a draft thereof, consider Kenvue’s comments on such draft and provide Kenvue with a final copy thereof and (C) provide Kenvue with notice reasonably in advance of, and (subject to the approval of the IRS or other applicable Taxing Authority) permit Kenvue to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with the IRS or other applicable Taxing Authority that relate to such Ruling.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Kenvue shall not seek a Ruling or any other guidance from a Taxing Authority with respect to a Pre-Distribution Period (whether or not relating to the Transactions).

SECTION 4.05. Notification Regarding Certain Acquisition Transactions. (a) If Kenvue proposes to enter into any 25% Acquisition Transaction or takes any affirmative action to permit any 25% Acquisition Transaction to occur at any time during the 30-month period following the Distribution Date, Kenvue shall undertake in good faith to provide J&J, no later than 10 Business Days following the signing of any written agreement with respect to such 25% Acquisition Transaction or obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any such 25% Acquisition Transaction that takes place without a written agreement, with a written description of such transaction (including the type and amount of Stock to be issued) and an explanation as to why such transaction does not result in the application of Sections 355(a)(1)(B), 355(e), or 355(f) of the Code to the Transactions.

(b) For purposes of this Section 4.05, “25% Acquisition Transaction” means any transaction or series of transactions that would be a Proposed Acquisition Transaction if the percentage specified in the definition of Proposed Acquisition Transaction were 25% instead of 30%.

SECTION 4.06. Reporting. J&J and Kenvue (a) shall timely file (or cause to be filed) any appropriate information and statements (including as required by Section 6045B of the Code and Section 1.355-5 of the Regulations and, to the extent applicable, Section 1.368-3 of the Regulations) to report the applicable Transactions as qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment and (b) absent a change of Law or a Determination in respect of the Transactions, shall not take any position on any Tax Return, financial statement or other document that is inconsistent with the Transactions qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

SECTION 4.07. Protective Section 336(e) Elections. (a) The Parties shall, at J&J’s election, timely enter into a written, binding agreement (within the meaning of Section 1.336-2(h)(1)(i) of the Regulations) to make a Protective Section 336(e) Election with respect to the Distribution or certain Internal Transactions as J&J chooses. J&J shall timely make such Protective Section 336(e) Elections and timely file such forms as may be contemplated by applicable Tax Law or administrative practice to effect such Protective Section 336(e) Elections and shall have the exclusive right to prepare and file (i) the relevant purchase price allocation and any corresponding IRS Form 8883 (or any successor thereto) and (ii) any similar forms required or permitted to be filed under U.S. state or local Law in connection with such Protective Section 336(e) Elections. Kenvue will cooperate with J&J to facilitate the making of such election.

(b) To the extent J&J makes any Protective Section 336(e) Elections, the Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, take any position for Tax purposes inconsistent with any of the Protective Section 336(e) Elections, except as may be required pursuant to a Determination.

(c) If Kenvue realizes a Tax benefit from the step-up in tax basis resulting from a failure of one or more of the Transactions to qualify (in whole or in part) for its Intended Tax Treatment and a Protective Section 336(e) Election, Kenvue shall make quarterly payments to J&J equal to (i) the actual Tax savings, as and when realized, arising from such step-up in tax basis, determined on a “with and without” basis (treating any deductions or amortization attributable to such step-up in tax basis resulting from such Protective Section 336(e) Election as the last items claimed for any taxable period, including after the utilization of any available net operating loss carryforwards), net of any reasonable administrative costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses necessary to secure the Tax savings multiplied by (ii) the J&J Transaction Tax Percentage of any Transaction Taxes resulting from such failure of one or more of the Transactions to qualify (in whole or in part) for its Intended Tax Treatment.

SECTION 4.08. Actions after the Distribution on the Distribution Date. Kenvue will not take any action on the Distribution Date after the Distribution that is outside the Ordinary Course of Business of Kenvue.

SECTION 4.09. Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. Prior to the Separation Closing, the Parties shall terminate all Tax allocation or sharing agreements that are exclusively between one or more members of the Kenvue Group, on the one hand, and one or more members of the J&J Group, on the other hand (other than this Agreement).

SECTION 4.10. Tax Treatment of Certain Amounts Paid Pursuant to the EMA. Amounts paid pursuant to the EMA shall be treated in the manner as described in the EMA and Section 2.08.

ARTICLE V

Audits and Contests

SECTION 5.01. Audits and Contests. (a) J&J or Kenvue, as applicable, shall, within 10 Business Days of becoming aware of any Tax Contest that could reasonably be expected to cause the other Party to be liable for any Taxes (including pursuant to an indemnification obligation under this Agreement), notify the other Party of such Tax Contest and thereafter promptly forward or make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of notices and communications relating to the relevant portions of such Tax Contest. A failure by an Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 5.01(a) (or to promptly forward any such

notices or communications) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) J&J shall have the right to control the conduct, settlement, resolution or abandonment of (i) any Tax Contest that relates to any J&J Prepared Return, (ii) any Transaction Tax Contest and (iii) any other Tax Contest with respect to a member of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group that (A) relates (in whole or in part) to a Pre-Distribution Period or (B) could reasonably be expected to have an adverse tax impact on a member of the J&J Group (any such Tax Contest in clauses (i) through (iii), a “Specified Tax Contest”). If J&J elects to control the conduct, settlement, resolution or abandonment of any Specified Tax Contest that could reasonably be expected to (i) obligate Kenvue to make an indemnity payment under Article II or (ii) cause Kenvue to be liable for any Taxes for which it is not indemnified under Article II, J&J shall keep Kenvue reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Specified Tax Contest and, subject to Section 5.01(c), J&J shall not accept or enter into any settlement, resolution or abandonment of such Specified Tax Contest without the consent of Kenvue (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For the avoidance of doubt, Kenvue shall have no rights with respect to any Specified Tax Contest relating to a J&J Consolidated Return.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.01(b), J&J may accept or enter into any settlement, resolution or abandonment of any of the following Specified Tax Contests it elects to control under Section 5.01(b) without the consent of Kenvue:

(i) Tax Contests specified in Schedule F;

(ii) any Specified Tax Contest for which J&J notifies Kenvue that (notwithstanding the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement) J&J agrees to pay (and indemnify Kenvue against) any Taxes resulting from such Specified Tax Contest; and

(iii) any Specified Tax Contest that could not reasonably be expected to cause Kenvue to be liable for any Taxes (including pursuant to an indemnification obligation under Article II) in excess of $1 million, as determined in good faith by J&J.

(d) Kenvue shall be required to control (at its own expense) the conduct, settlement, resolution or abandonment of any Specified Tax Contest that J&J elects not to control (unless J&J subsequently elects to control such Specified Tax Contest); provided, that Kenvue shall keep J&J reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Specified Tax Contest and Kenvue shall not accept or enter into any settlement, resolution or

abandonment of such Specified Tax Contest without the consent of J&J (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that Kenvue may accept or enter into any settlement, resolution or abandonment of any Specified Tax Contest controlled by Kenvue that could not reasonably be expected to cause J&J to be liable for any Taxes (including pursuant to an indemnification obligation under Article II) in excess of $1 million, as determined in good faith by Kenvue.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Party shall be required to (i) file any J&J Prepared Return or Kenvue Prepared Return or (ii) settle, resolve or abandon any Tax Contest, in each case if such Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that such filing, settlement, resolution or abandonment is reasonably likely to expose such Party, any of its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates’ representatives to criminal penalties or monetary sanctions.

SECTION 5.02. Expenses. Each Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the applicable Indemnitee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including legal, consulting and accounting fees) incurred by such Indemnitee in the course of any Tax Contest to the extent those expenses relate to matters for which the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify under Article II or which would result in an additional payment obligation of the Indemnifying Party under Article III. Except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in the course of any Tax Contest.

ARTICLE VI

General Cooperation and Document Retention

SECTION 6.01. Cooperation and Good Faith. J&J and Kenvue shall (and shall cause the members of the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group, respectively, to) cooperate fully with all reasonable requests from the other Party in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and Transfer Pricing Documentation, the calculation of Taxes, the determination of the proper financial accounting treatment of a Return Item, the conduct or settlement of any Tax Contests and other matters covered by this Agreement. Such cooperation shall include the actions listed on Schedule B and Schedule G.

SECTION 6.02. Duty to Mitigate Recognition or Recapture of Income.

(a) Kenvue shall not (and shall not permit any member of the Kenvue Group to) take any action (including, but not limited to, the sale or disposition of any Stock or other assets) that would cause J&J or any member of the J&J Group to recognize gain or recapture any income, including under any Gain Recognition Agreement or Domestic Use Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of J&J.

(b) Prior to any event (including any of the Transactions) that may result in recognition or recapture of income (including under any Gain Recognition Agreement or Domestic Use Agreement), Kenvue shall use (and shall cause the members of the Kenvue Group to use) all commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate such recognition or recapture of income or otherwise avoid or minimize the impact thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence:

(i) Kenvue shall enter into (or shall cause the appropriate member of the Kenvue Group to enter into) a new Gain Recognition Agreement (and promptly provide copies thereof to J&J), if entering into that Gain Recognition Agreement would preclude or defer the recognition of gain by any member of the J&J Group;

(ii) to the extent that any member of the Kenvue Group is a “U.S. transferor” (within the meaning of Section 1.367(a)-8(b)(1)(xvii) of the Regulations) with respect to property for which a Gain Recognition Agreement was entered into, Kenvue shall comply (or shall cause the appropriate member of the Kenvue Group to comply) with the annual certification requirements of Section 1.367(a)-8(g) of the Regulations for the term of such Gain Recognition Agreement and promptly provide copies of those annual certifications to J&J (a list of Gain Recognition Agreements, which includes Gain Recognition Agreements that a member of the J&J Group or Kenvue Group has entered or expects to enter into, is set out in Schedule H);

(iii) Kenvue shall enter into any agreements (including new Domestic Use Agreements under Section 1.1503(d)-6(f)(2) of the Regulations) and promptly provide copies thereof to J&J, make any elections and take any other actions, in each case as requested by J&J or as otherwise required in order to avoid causing the Distribution or Other Disposition, as the case may be, to be a “triggering event” requiring recapture of any “dual consolidated loss” (in each case, within the meaning of Section 1503(d) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder) for which a J&J Consolidated Group member has made a “domestic use election” under Section 1.1503(d)-6(d) of the Regulations and that was incurred by a member of the Kenvue Group during a Pre-Distribution Period; and

(iv) To the extent Kenvue enters into a new Domestic Use Agreement under Section 1.1503(d)-6(f)(2) of the Regulations with respect to any “dual consolidated loss,” Kenvue shall comply with the annual certification requirements of Section 1.1503-6(g) of the Regulations for the remainder of the “certification period” (as defined in Section 1.1503(d)-1(b)(20) of the Regulations) with respect to such “dual consolidated loss” as required to avoid a “triggering event” requiring recapture of such “dual consolidated loss,” and Kenvue shall promptly provide copies of those annual certifications to J&J.

SECTION 6.03. Document Retention; Access to Records and Use of Personnel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Data Transfer and Sharing Agreement), each of J&J and Kenvue shall (i) until the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations (including extensions), retain all records, documents, accounting data, computer data and other information necessary for the preparation, filing, review, audit or defense of all Tax Returns (including all Transfer Pricing Documentation) or relevant to any Tax Contest or an obligation, right or liability of either Party under this Agreement (collectively, the “Records”) and (ii) give each other reasonable access to such Records and to its personnel (ensuring their cooperation) and premises during normal business hours to the extent relevant to any Tax Contest or an obligation, right or liability of either Party under this Agreement or otherwise reasonably required by the other Party to complete any Tax Return or to compute the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement. Prior to disposing of any such Records, each of J&J and Kenvue shall notify the other Party in writing of such intention and afford the other Party the opportunity to take possession or make copies of such Records at its discretion.

SECTION 6.04. Tax Disputes. Notwithstanding Section 7.06, this Section 6.04 shall govern the resolution of any dispute arising between the Parties in connection with this Agreement, other than a dispute (i) relating to liability for Transaction Taxes or (ii) in which the amount of liability in dispute exceeds $20 million (a “Tax Dispute”). The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Tax Dispute for 30 calendar days (unless earlier resolved). Upon notice of either Party after 30 calendar days, the matter will be referred to an Accounting Firm acceptable to both Parties. The Accounting Firm may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third party necessary to assist it in resolving the Tax Dispute. The Parties shall instruct the Accounting Firm to furnish notice to each Party of its resolution of the Tax Dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 40 calendar days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Accounting Firm will be binding on the Parties and the Parties shall take, or cause to be taken, any action necessary to implement the resolution. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be shared equally by the Parties. If, having determined that a Tax Dispute must be referred to an Accounting Firm, after 30 calendar days the Parties are unable to find an Accounting Firm willing to adjudicate the Tax Dispute in question and that the Parties in good faith find acceptable, then this Section 6.04 shall cease to apply to that Tax Dispute and such Tax Dispute shall be subject to Section 7.06.

ARTICLE VII

Miscellaneous Provisions

SECTION 7.01. Payments and Interest.

(a) Any payments required pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars, calculated using prevailing spot foreign exchange rates, as applicable.

(b) Any payments required pursuant to this Agreement that are not made within 60 calendar days following the time period specified in this Agreement shall bear interest from the end of that 60-day period to the date paid. Interest required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement shall equal the 1-month term secured overnight financing rate, determined as of the date the payment was due hereunder, plus 0.5%.

SECTION 7.02. No Duplication of Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require J&J or Kenvue, as the case may be, to make any payment to the extent that the payment is attributable to a Tax Attribute, Return Item or any other amount for which the applicable Party or its Affiliate has previously made a payment under this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

SECTION 7.03. Confidentiality. Each Party hereby acknowledges that confidential and proprietary Information of such Party and the other members of its Group may be exposed to employees and agents of the other Party and the other members of its Group as a result of the activities contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party agrees, on behalf of itself and the other members of its Group, that such Party’s obligations with respect to Information of the other Party and the other members of its Group shall be governed by Section 7.09 of the Separation Agreement.

SECTION 7.04. Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement without consent in connection with (a) a merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets, or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets; provided, however, that the assignee expressly assumes in writing all of the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement, and the assigning Party provides written notice and evidence of such assignment and assumption to the non-assigning Party. No assignment

permitted by this Section 7.04 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.05. Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the affected Party shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to 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 hereof, 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.

SECTION 7.06. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws thereof.

(b) In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement between the Parties other than a Tax Dispute that is subject to Section 6.04 (a “Dispute”), either Party may refer such Dispute to the respective senior officers of such Parties by delivering written notice of such Dispute to the other Party (a “Negotiation Notice”). Upon delivery of a Negotiation Notice, each Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation among their respective senior officers who hold, at a minimum, the title of Executive Vice President and who have authority to settle such Dispute.

Rules. The Parties agree to bear equally the costs of any mediation, including any fees or expenses of the applicable mediator; provided, that each Party shall bear its own costs in connection with participating in such mediation.

(d) If the Parties are unable to resolve any Tax Dispute or Dispute via negotiation or mediation in accordance with Sections 6.04, 7.06(b) or 7.06(c), then, following the Mediation Period, either Party may commence litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 7.06(e). For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 7.06(f), neither Party may commence litigation with respect to a Dispute until and unless the Parties first fail to resolve such Dispute via negotiation and mediation in accordance with Sections 6.04, 7.06(b) or 7.06(c).

(e) Subject to Sections 6.04, 7.06(b) and 7.06(c), each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if (and only if) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the federal court of the United States sitting in Delaware or, if (and only if) the federal court of the United States sitting in Delaware finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, and appellate courts thereof, over any and all claims, disputes, controversies or disagreements between the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors and assigns under or related to this Agreement or any document executed pursuant to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Party may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction, at any time, in order to prevent immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage on a provisional basis, pending the resolution of any dispute hereunder, including under Sections 6.04, 7.06(b) or 7.06(c).

SECTION 7.07. Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 7.08. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, all of which counterparts shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party.

SECTION 7.10. Severability. If any provision of this 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 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, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon any such determination, any such provision, to the extent determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be deemed replaced by a provision that such court determines is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

SECTION 7.11. Termination. This Agreement will terminate without further action at any time before the Separation Closing upon termination of the Separation Agreement. If terminated, no Party will have any liability of any kind to the other Party or any other Person on account of this Agreement, except as provided in the Separation Agreement.

If there is a conflict between any specific provision of this Agreement and any provision of the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (except to the extent that

Tax matters are expressly addressed in any such Ancillary Agreement other than a Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument), this Agreement shall control.

(b) No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed amended, supplemented or modified, unless such amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of each Party, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party sought to be bound.

SECTION 7.16. Third-Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not intended to confer upon any Person except the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder and there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third Person with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

SECTION 7.17. Waivers of Default. Except as explicitly stated herein, no failure or delay of either Party (or the applicable member of its Group) in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Waiver by either Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default.

SECTION 7.18. Interpretation. The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 11.15 of the Separation Agreement shall be incorporated by reference to this Agreement, mutatis mutandis. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE PURPOSE OF ARTICLE IV IS TO ENSURE THAT EACH OF THE APPLICABLE TRANSACTIONS QUALIFIES FOR ITS INTENDED TAX TREATMENT AND, ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LANGUAGE THEREOF SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN A MANNER THAT SERVES THIS PURPOSE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE.

SECTION 7.19. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES CERTIFIES AND

ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) EACH OF THE PARTIES UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (c) EACH OF THE PARTIES MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (d) EACH OF THE PARTIES HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.19.

General

SECTION 2.01. Employee Transfers and Wrong Pockets. (a) In the event that, following the date of this Agreement but prior to the Distribution Date, J&J determines, in its sole discretion, that (i) an employee of the J&J Group spends more than 50% of his or her work time in the operation of the Kenvue Business or is otherwise essential to the operation of the Kenvue Business following the Initial Public Offering (a “To-Kenvue Employee”) or (ii) an employee of the Kenvue Group spends at least 50% of his or her work time in the operation of the J&J Business or is otherwise essential to the operation of the J&J Business following the Initial Public Offering (a “To-J&J Employee”), then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer the employment of each To-Kenvue Employee to a member of the Kenvue Group and transfer the employment of each To-J&J Employee to a member of the J&J Group, in each case, on or prior to the Distribution Date.

(b) In the event that a To-Kenvue Employee or a To-J&J Employee does not become a Kenvue Employee or a J&J Employee (each, a “Wrong Pockets Employee”), as applicable, including as a result of such individual rejecting an offer of employment or objecting to an automatic transfer of employment, then the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group will reasonably cooperate to make the services of such Wrong Pockets Employee available to the Kenvue Group or the J&J Group, as applicable, until such services are no longer required from such Wrong Pockets Employee (including as a result of the Kenvue Group or the J&J Group, as applicable, assigning such services to another individual), as reasonably determined by the recipient of such services. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including the definitions of J&J Employee Liabilities and Kenvue Employee Liabilities: (i) in the case of a Wrong Pockets Employee who is a To-Kenvue Employee, provided, that the J&J Group terminates the employment of such Wrong Pockets Employee within thirty days of the date such individual ceases providing services to the Kenvue Group (or such later date as is required by applicable Law or any legally binding agreement or contract), all reasonably incurred Liabilities relating to the employment of such Wrong Pockets Employee from and after the Standup Date, including Liabilities in connection with the termination of employment of such Wrong Pockets Employee, shall be Kenvue Employee Liabilities; and (ii) in the case of a Wrong Pockets Employee who is a To-J&J Employee, provided, that the Kenvue Group terminates the employment of such Wrong Pockets Employee within thirty days of the date such individual ceases providing services to the J&J Group (or such later date as is required by applicable Law or any legally binding agreement or contract), all reasonably incurred Liabilities relating to the employment of such Wrong Pockets Employee from and after the Standup Date, including Liabilities in connection with the termination of employment of such Wrong Pockets Employee, shall be J&J Employee Liabilities.

SECTION 2.02. Employees Returning From Leave. In the event that any Kenvue Employee on Leave returns from his or her leave of absence and such Kenvue Employee on Leave is entitled to, or claims to be entitled to, recommence employment with a member of

the J&J Group, then a member of the Kenvue Group shall make an offer of employment to such individual as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten days, following such individual’s eligibility to return to active service. Offers of employment described in this Section 2.02 shall be on substantially similar terms and conditions, including in respect of compensation and benefits, as those provided to Kenvue Employees who are employed in similar positions. To the extent that the Kenvue Group is required to employ or make offers of employment to any such Kenvue Employee on Leave who returns from leave under this Section 2.02 or applicable Law, such employee shall be considered a Kenvue Employee for purposes of this Agreement upon his or her return to active service.

SECTION 2.03. General Allocation of Employee Liabilities. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, effective as of the Separation Date, (a) a member of the Kenvue Group shall assume or retain, and the members of the Kenvue Group hereby agree to perform, fulfill, pay and discharge in accordance with their respective terms, the Kenvue Employee Liabilities, and (b) a member of the J&J Group shall assume or retain, and the members of the J&J Group hereby agree to perform, fulfill, pay and discharge in accordance with their respective terms, the J&J Employee Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, no Party shall be required to reimburse the other Party for Liabilities to the extent that such Liabilities have been satisfied prior to the Separation Date.

SECTION 2.04. General Treatment of Employee Benefits. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or as required by the terms of any J&J Benefit Plan or by applicable Law, the J&J Group has taken all actions necessary or appropriate so that active participation in J&J Benefit Plans (other than any equity-compensation plans) by all Kenvue Employees terminated as of immediately prior to the Standup Date and each member of the Kenvue Group ceased to be a participating employer under the terms of such J&J Benefit Plans as of such time.

SECTION 2.05. Non-Termination of Employment or Benefits. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or an Individual Agreement, neither this Agreement, the Separation Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement shall be construed to create any right or accelerate any entitlement to any compensation or benefit on the part of any J&J Employee, Kenvue Employee or Former Employee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or an Individual Agreement, neither the Initial Public Offering, the Second Step Transaction nor the transfers of employment contemplated by Section 2.01 shall cause any individual to be deemed to have incurred a termination of employment or to have created any entitlement to any severance payments or benefits or the commencement of any other benefits under any J&J Benefit Plan or any Kenvue Benefit Plan. Neither the Initial Public Offering nor the Second Step Transaction shall constitute a “change in control” (or term of similar meaning) for purposes of any J&J Benefit Plan or any Kenvue Benefit Plan.

SECTION 2.06. Power to Amend. Subject to the Parties’ compliance with the remaining terms of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any member of the Kenvue Group or any member of the J&J Group from amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing or otherwise altering in any respect any Kenvue Benefit Plan

or J&J Benefit Plan, any benefit under any Kenvue Benefit Plan or J&J Benefit Plan or any trust, insurance policy or funding vehicle related to any Kenvue Benefit Plan or J&J Benefit Plan, as applicable.

SECTION 2.07. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer any right to continued employment on any J&J Employee or Kenvue Employee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not limit the ability of any member of the Kenvue Group or any member of the J&J Group to change the position, compensation or benefits of any of its employees for performance-related, business or any other reasons or require any such entity to continue the employment of any such employee for any period of time; provided, however, that in the event of any such termination of employment or modification of the terms and conditions of employment, any associated Liabilities shall be Kenvue Employee Liabilities or J&J Employee Liabilities, as applicable.

SECTION 2.08. Service Providers. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall not apply to any Service Providers, and all actual or potential Liabilities relating to Service Providers, including (a) Liabilities relating to the misclassification of any individual as a Service Provider and not as an employee, (b) Liabilities for Taxes (including Employment Taxes), (c) accounts payable owed to any Service Provider and (d) any claims made by any Service Provider with respect to benefits under any Benefit Plan, shall be allocated among the members of the Kenvue Group and the members of the J&J Group in accordance with the cost center to which such Service Provider’s services are or were charged and/or the method of allocating the costs and expenses of such services as in effect as of the date such Liabilities are incurred (or as of the date of the termination of such Service Provider’s services, if earlier).

SECTION 2.09. Transition Services. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary regarding any obligation of the members of the Kenvue Group to have established any Kenvue Benefit Plans as of the Standup Date and for Kenvue Employees and their dependents to have generally ceased participation in J&J Benefit Plans as of the Standup Date, the Parties have agreed pursuant to the TSA to allow for the later establishment of certain Kenvue Benefit Plans and permit the continued participation of Kenvue Employees and their dependents in the corresponding J&J Benefit Plans for a limited period of time following the Initial Public Offering.

SECTION 2.10. Personnel Records. Transmission, access to, storage, retention and the use of any information and records regarding the employment and personnel matters of the J&J Employees, Kenvue Employees and Former Employees (collectively, “Employment Records”) shall be governed by Article VII of the Separation Agreement, except as otherwise explicitly provided herein. The J&J Group shall, subject to applicable Law, collect and transfer to the Kenvue Group all Employment Records primarily relating to the Kenvue Employees; provided that, (a) the collection and transfer of any Employment Records shall be subject to (i) any restrictions or review and approval procedures required by any Collective Bargaining Agreement or (ii) where the J&J Group determines it to be necessary or desirable, review and approval by any works council or other employee representative body, (iii) the DTSA for all transfer of Data (as such terms are defined in the IPA) in the Employment Records and (iv) the DPA in the event such collection or transfer of Employment Records involves the processing of

any Personal Information (as such term is defined in the IPA); and (b) the J&J Group shall not be required to collect and transfer any Employment Records where it determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it is not practical to do so, such as in the case of intermingled hard-copy records. Following the Distribution Date, the Kenvue Group may reasonably request the collection and transfer of any additional Employment Records primarily related to the Kenvue Employees, and the J&J Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill any such request, taking into consideration applicable Law, the requirements of any Collective Bargaining Agreement, the requirements and requests of any works council or other employee representative body and the effort involved in collecting and transferring such Employment Records, including in separating any intermingled Employment Records. The J&J Group shall be permitted to retain copies of all Employment Records transferred to the Kenvue Group, except where prohibited by applicable Law. The Kenvue Group shall indemnify and hold harmless the J&J Group from and against any and all Liabilities that arise from the Kenvue Group’s possession or use of any transferred Employment Records

SECTION 2.11. Deferred Markets. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) J&J may, in its sole discretion, determine that any individual who is employed by a member of the J&J Group in a Deferred Market and provides services to the Kenvue Business will be considered a Kenvue Employee for all purposes of this Agreement (a “Deferred Market Employee”), (b) in the event any member of the J&J Group incurs any Liabilities in connection with providing such Deferred Market Employee any compensation or benefits following the Separation or continuing to employ such Deferred Market Employee following the Separation, such Liabilities shall, without duplication, be considered Kenvue Liabilities for purposes of the Separation Agreement unless otherwise agreed and (c) in the event a member of the J&J Group hires additional employees in order to replace a departed Deferred Market Employee or at the request of Kenvue to provide services to the Kenvue Business in a Deferred Market, then such employees shall be considered Kenvue Employees for all purposes of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.01. Continuity and Performance of Agreements. (a) From and after the Separation Date (or such other date as is required by applicable Law), to the extent one or more members of the Kenvue Group becomes, or may become, a successor employer to the applicable member of the J&J Group under a Kenvue CBA pursuant to applicable Law or the terms of such Kenvue CBA, then such members hereby agree to become a successor employer to such Kenvue CBA, to comply with, honor and fulfil their obligations under such Kenvue CBA and that such members assume responsibility for, and J&J or the relevant member of the J&J Group shall cease to be responsible for or to otherwise have any Liability in respect of, such Kenvue CBA to the extent it pertains to any Kenvue Employee. To the extent the foregoing sentence is not applicable with respect to a Kenvue CBA, then, with respect to the Kenvue Employees subject to such Kenvue CBA, the members of the Kenvue Group shall be responsible for, and shall comply with, all obligations under applicable Law relating to collective bargaining and representation, including any that may be triggered as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and

shall indemnify the members of the J&J Group from any failure to so comply and for any obligations to such Kenvue Employees that may arise under the Kenvue CBAs on or after the Standup Date.

(b) Participation in Kenvue Welfare Plans. The Parties agree and acknowledge that, except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, as of the Standup Date, the Kenvue Employees shall have become eligible to participate in the Kenvue Welfare Plans, subject to the terms of such plans and such other terms as to which the Parties may agree.

Each Kenvue Employee (other than any Kenvue Employee based in Quebec, as determined by J&J) who is an Active Participant in the J&J Canadian Pension Plan as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date shall be given service credit under such plan through the applicable Pension Bridge Date for purposes of vesting and early retirement subsidies under such plan (but not for purposes of eligibility or benefit accrual). For purposes of the post-Distribution Date service credit provided pursuant to this Section 5.04 or Section 10.01, employment with Kenvue and its Affiliates shall not include service with a successor employer or with a former member of the Kenvue Group following any subsequent acquisition, divestiture, spinoff or other corporate transaction involving the Kenvue Group. The Kenvue Group shall bear the estimated cost of the post-Standup Date service credit provided for under Section 5.04 and the post-Standup Date service credit provided for under Section 10.01 in such amounts and via such processes as determined by J&J in its reasonable discretion.

ARTICLE VI

Defined Contribution Plans

SECTION 6.01. Establishment of Kenvue U.S. Savings Plan. The Parties acknowledge and agree that one or more members of the Kenvue Group has established or caused to be established one or more defined contribution plans and trusts with respect to each J&J U.S. Savings Plan for the benefit of the Kenvue Employees (each such plan, a “Kenvue U.S. Savings Plan”). The members of the Kenvue Group have taken, or shall take, all necessary and appropriate actions to establish, maintain and administer the Kenvue U.S. Savings Plans so that they qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code and the related trusts thereunder are exempted from Federal income taxation under Section 501(a)(1) of the Code or, to the extent applicable, the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of Puerto Rico and the regulations and guidance thereunder (the “Puerto Rico Code”).

SECTION 6.02. Transfer and Assumption of Liabilities. Subject to the transfer of Assets described in Section 6.03, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, effective as of the Standup Date or such later date to which the Parties have mutually agreed (the “Savings Plan Transfer Date”), members of the Kenvue Group and the applicable Kenvue U.S. Savings Plan have assumed and become solely responsible for all Liabilities under the corresponding J&J U.S. Savings Plan for or relating to Kenvue Employees. From and after the Standup Date, the members of the Kenvue Group are responsible for all ongoing rights of or relating to Kenvue Employees for future participation (including the right to make contributions through payroll deductions) in the Kenvue U.S. Savings Plans. Kenvue shall take all necessary action, if any, to qualify the Kenvue U.S. Savings Plans under the applicable provisions of the Code or the Puerto Rico Code and shall make any and all filings and submissions to the appropriate Governmental Authority required to be made by it in connection with the transfer of Assets described in Section 6.03.

SECTION 6.03. Trust to Trust Transfer of Assets. Members of the J&J Group have caused, or as soon as practical following the Initial Public Offering shall cause, the account balances (including outstanding loan balances, if any) in each J&J U.S. Savings Plan (or its related trust) attributable to Kenvue Employees to be transferred in cash and in-kind (including participant loans) to the applicable Kenvue U.S. Savings Plan (or its related trust), and members of the Kenvue Group have caused, or shall cause, the applicable Kenvue U.S. Savings Plan (or its related trust) to accept such transfer of account balances (including participant loans). Such transfers shall be conducted in accordance with applicable Law (including, to the extent applicable, Section 414(l) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1, Section 208 of ERISA and the Puerto Rico Code). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the fiduciaries of the Kenvue U.S. Savings Plans and the J&J U.S. Savings Plans shall cooperate in good faith to effect the transfers contemplated by this Section 6.03 in an efficient and effective manner and in the best interests of participants and beneficiaries, including determining whether and to what extent any investments held under the J&J U.S. Savings Plans (other than participant loans) shall be transferred in-kind or liquidated prior to the date of such transfer in order to enable the value of such investments to be transferred to the Kenvue U.S. Savings Plans in cash or cash equivalents.

SECTION 6.04. Stock Fund Considerations. (a) To the extent that the Kenvue U.S. Savings Plans hold shares of J&J Common Stock, such shares shall be held in one or more stock funds under the applicable Kenvue U.S. Savings Plan, subject to such limitations (including the ability to dispose of such shares of J&J Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Kenvue U.S. Savings Plans), or the removal of such stock fund, in each case, as determined solely by Kenvue or the applicable fiduciary of the Kenvue U.S. Savings Plan.

(b) J&J and Kenvue shall assume sole responsibility for ensuring that their respective savings plans are maintained in compliance with applicable Laws (including the fiduciary requirements under ERISA) with respect to holding shares of their respective common stock and common stock of the other Party.

SECTION 6.05. Limitation of Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, members of the J&J Group shall have no responsibility for any failure of any member of the Kenvue Group to properly administer the Kenvue U.S. Savings Plans in accordance with their terms and

applicable Law, including any failure to properly administer the accounts of Kenvue Employees and their respective beneficiaries.

SECTION 6.06. Non-U.S. Defined Contribution Plans. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, J&J and Kenvue agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to treat each J&J Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan for the benefit of employees outside of the United States (each, a “Non-U.S. DC Plan”) in a manner that is consistent with applicable Law and, to the extent practicable, the general principles of this Article VI, such that the members of the Kenvue Group shall assume and be solely responsible for all Liabilities under the Non-U.S. DC Plans for or relating to Kenvue Employees, subject to the transfer of any Assets under such Non-U.S. DC Plan for or relating to Kenvue Employees.

ARTICLE VII

Equity-Based Incentive Compensation Awards

SECTION 7.01. Kenvue Stock Plan. Prior to the Initial Public Offering, the Kenvue Group shall adopt, establish and maintain an equity compensation plan (the “Kenvue Stock Plan”); provided that, the Kenvue Group shall not grant any equity-based incentive compensation awards pursuant to the Kenvue Stock Plan or otherwise prior to the Distribution Date without J&J’s prior written consent.

SECTION 7.02. Restricted Share Unit Awards. Each J&J RSU Award held as of immediately prior to the Distribution by any current Kenvue Employee as of the Distribution shall be converted into a Kenvue restricted share unit award granted under the Kenvue Stock Plan (a “Substitute Kenvue RSU Award”). The number of shares of Kenvue Common Stock subject to the Substitute Kenvue RSU Award shall be equal to the number of shares of J&J Common Stock subject to the J&J RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Distribution multiplied by the Kenvue Conversion Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole share. Each Substitute Kenvue RSU Award shall have substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedule) as the corresponding J&J RSU Award to which it relates, except as provided herein, and shall continue to vest based on continued service with the Kenvue Group.

SECTION 7.03. Performance Share Unit Awards. Each J&J PSU Award held as of immediately prior to the Distribution by any current Kenvue Employee as of the Distribution shall be replaced with a Substitute Kenvue RSU Award. The number of shares of Kenvue Common Stock subject to the Substitute Kenvue RSU Award shall be equal to (a) the number of shares of J&J Common Stock subject to the J&J PSU Award as of immediately prior to the Distribution assuming achievement of performance targets based on (i) in the case of any J&J PSU Award with two completed fiscal years in the performance period, the actual level of performance during such fiscal years, as determined by J&J, and (ii) in the case of any other J&J PSU Award, the target level of performance, multiplied by (b) the Kenvue Conversion Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole share. Each Substitute Kenvue RSU Award shall have substantially the same terms and conditions (including time-vesting schedule) as the corresponding J&J PSU Award to which it relates, except as provided herein and such award shall no longer be subject to performance-vesting conditions, and shall continue to vest based on continued service with the Kenvue Group.

SECTION 7.04. Option Awards. Each J&J Option Award held as of immediately prior to the Distribution, whether vested or unvested, by any current Kenvue Employee as of the Distribution shall be converted into an option to purchase shares of Kenvue Common Stock granted under the Kenvue Stock Plan (a “Substitute Kenvue Option Award”). The number of shares of Kenvue Common Stock subject to the Substitute Kenvue Option Award shall be equal to (a) the number of shares of J&J Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the J&J Option Award as of immediately prior to the Distribution multiplied by (b) the Kenvue Conversion Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each Substitute Kenvue Option Award shall have a per-share exercise price equal to the (i) the per-share exercise price of the corresponding J&J Option Award immediately prior to the Distribution, divided by (ii) the Kenvue Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. Each Substitute Kenvue Option Award shall have substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedule) as the corresponding J&J Option Award to which it relates, except as provided herein, and shall continue to vest based on continued service with the Kenvue Group.

SECTION 7.05. Approval and Terms of Equity Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, equity-based incentive compensation awards made under the Kenvue Stock Plan pursuant to Kenvue’s obligations under this Agreement shall take into account all employment and service with both J&J and Kenvue, and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, for purposes of determining when such awards vest and terminate. The Kenvue Group shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities with respect to the Kenvue Stock Plan, including the Substitute Kenvue RSU Awards and the Substitute Kenvue Option Awards.

SECTION 7.06. Compliance with Applicable Law. The Parties shall take all actions necessary or appropriate so that the equity-based incentive compensation awards granted under the J&J Stock Plans and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Distribution shall be treated as set forth in this Article VII. The adjustment or conversion of any equity-based incentive compensation award shall be effectuated in a manner that is intended to preserve the economic value of the award on the Distribution Date and complies with applicable Law and avoids the imposition of any penalty or other Taxes on the holders thereof pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

SECTION 7.07. Equity Awards Granted in Certain Non-U.S. Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, the provisions of this Article VII may be modified by the Parties to the extent necessary to address legal, regulatory or Tax issues or requirements and/or to avoid undue cost or administrative burden arising out of the application of this Article VII to equity-based incentive compensation awards subject to non-U.S. Laws, including in the case of Deferred Market Employees.

SECTION 7.08. Other Disposition. In the event the Second Step Transaction is accomplished via an Other Disposition, the Parties shall cooperate to amend this Article VII in order to accomplish the objectives of this Article VII to the extent practicable in connection with such Other Disposition.

ARTICLE VIII

Certain Other Arrangements

SECTION 8.01. Annual Incentive Awards.

(a) If not paid prior to the date of this Agreement, awards payable under annual incentive programs for calendar year 2022 to Kenvue Employees shall be paid in the ordinary course of business consistent with J&J’s policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.

(b) Following the date of this Agreement and through the Distribution Date, the Kenvue Employees shall participate in annual incentive programs for calendar year 2023 established by the J&J Group for J&J Employees (collectively, the “2023 AIPs”); provided that, the performance metrics for the 2023 AIPs shall consist entirely of metrics related to the Kenvue Business and individual performance metrics. From and after the Distribution Date, the Kenvue Group shall assume the 2023 AIPs with respect to the Kenvue Employees (to the extent not fully paid out before the Distribution Date) and be responsible for the administration and payment of all annual incentives earned thereunder and the J&J Group shall have no Liability in respect of such annual incentives.

SECTION 8.02. Restrictive Covenants in Individual Agreements. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, following the Distribution Date, the Kenvue Group shall be considered to be successors to the J&J Group for purposes of all agreements containing restrictive covenants (including confidentiality provisions) between the J&J Group and any Kenvue Employee executed prior to the Distribution Date such that the J&J Group and the Kenvue Group shall each enjoy the rights and benefits under such agreements, with respect to their respective business operations; provided, however, that (a) in no event shall the J&J Group be permitted to enforce any restrictive covenants against any Kenvue Employees (determined as of the Distribution Date) in their capacity as employees of the Kenvue Group and (b) in no event shall the Kenvue Group be permitted to enforce any restrictive covenants against any J&J Employees (determined as of the Distribution Date) in their capacity as employees of the J&J Group.

SECTION 8.03. Severance.

(a) Without limiting the generality of the definition of Kenvue Employee Liabilities, any severance that becomes payable on or after the Separation Date to (i) any Kenvue Employee or (ii) any Former Employee who was primarily providing services to the Kenvue Business as of the date of his or her termination of employment, in each case, under any severance plan, program, agreement or arrangement (whether of the J&J Group, the Kenvue Group or otherwise) shall be a Kenvue Employee Liability and the J&J Group shall have no Liability in respect of such severance.

(b) It is not intended that any Kenvue Employee will be eligible for severance payments from the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group as a result of the transfer or change of employment from the J&J Group to the Kenvue Group or from the Kenvue Group to the J&J

Group or the occurrence of the Initial Public Offering or the Second Step Transaction; provided that, in the event any Liabilities are incurred as a result of any claim for severance or other similar payments or benefits incurred in connection with any such transfer or change of employment or the occurrence of the Initial Public Offering or the Second Step Transaction, such Liabilities shall be J&J Employee Liabilities or Kenvue Employee Liabilities, as applicable.

SECTION 8.04. Vacation and Other Paid Time Off. Effective as of the Separation Date, a member of the Kenvue Group shall assume any Liability for vacation and other paid time-off benefits accrued or earned (but not yet taken) by the Kenvue Employees as of immediately prior to the Separation Date (after taking into account any such benefits that are forfeited on the Separation Date under the applicable policy of the J&J Group) or accrued or earned by Kenvue Employees thereafter, and shall be obligated to reimburse the members of the J&J Group with respect to required payments to the Kenvue Employees by the J&J Group in lieu of such vacation or other paid time-off benefits pursuant to applicable Law or any Kenvue CBA.

SECTION 8.05. Non-Solicitation / No-Hire. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, for the period beginning on March 13, 2023 and ending on the date that is eighteen months following the Distribution Date, (a) no member of the Kenvue Group shall solicit for employment or hire (as an employee, consultant or otherwise) any J&J Restricted Employee and (b) no member of the J&J Group shall solicit for employment or hire (as an employee, consultant or otherwise) any Kenvue Restricted Employee. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.05 to the contrary, this Section 8.05 shall not restrict general, customary employment advertisements and recruiting efforts that are not targeted at, as applicable, J&J Restricted Employees or Kenvue Restricted Employees. If a final and non-appealable judicial determination is made that any provision of this Section 8.05 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction with respect to any particular jurisdiction, the provisions of this Section 8.05 shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed to be modified solely with respect to the applicable jurisdiction to the minimum extent necessary to remain in force and effect for the greatest period and to the greatest extent that such court determines constitutes a reasonable restriction under the circumstances.

ARTICLE IX

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

SECTION 9.01. Treatment of J&J Non-Qualified Plans. (a) Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, as otherwise agreed by the Parties or as required by applicable Law, the J&J Group shall retain sponsorship of each J&J Non-Qualified Plan and all Assets and Liabilities arising out of or relating to such J&J Non-Qualified Plans, including those relating to Kenvue Employees (to the extent accrued and vested under the terms of the applicable plans). Following the Separation Date, J&J and Kenvue shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in administering the J&J Non-Qualified Plans in connection with providing payments to Kenvue Employees in accordance with the terms of the J&J Non-Qualified Plans, including by exchanging any necessary participant records and engaging recordkeepers, administrators, providers, insurers and other third parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Kenvue shall notify J&J of the occurrence of (i) any payment event with respect to a Kenvue Employee under a J&J Non-

Qualified Plan and (ii) a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code of any Kenvue Employee who participates in a J&J Non-Qualified Plan, whether or not such separation from service is a payment event, in each case, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than thirty days thereafter, and shall promptly provide to J&J any other relevant information reasonably requested by J&J for purposes of administering payments pursuant to the J&J Non-Qualified Plans to Kenvue Employees. In the event of a subsequent acquisition, divestiture, spinoff or other corporate transaction involving the Kenvue Group that is not treated as a “separation from service” under the J&J Non-Qualified Plans, Kenvue shall use best efforts to ensure comparable cooperation from the successor employer.

(b) Establishment of Kenvue Excess Savings Plans. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Kenvue has established, or caused a member of the Kenvue Group to establish, an excess savings plan (the “Kenvue Excess Savings Plan”) that provides terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the J&J Excess Savings Plan.

(c) Transfer and Assumption of Excess Savings Plan Liabilities. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Kenvue has assumed all Liabilities attributable to the Kenvue Employees under the J&J Excess Savings Plan. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Kenvue has caused the Kenvue Excess Savings Plan to recognize and maintain, to the extent applicable, all elections (including distribution and investment elections) and beneficiary designations with respect to Liabilities transferred from the J&J Excess Savings Plan until a new election that by its terms supersedes the original election is made by the applicable Kenvue Employee in accordance with applicable Law and the terms and conditions of the Kenvue Excess Savings Plan.

(d) No Distributions. The Parties acknowledge that none of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall trigger a payment or distribution of compensation under the J&J Non-Qualified Plans, the J&J Excess Savings Plan or the Kenvue Excess Savings Plan for any participant therein and, consequently, the payment or distribution of any compensation to which any such participant is entitled under such plan shall occur upon such participant’s separation from service from the Kenvue Group or the J&J Group, as applicable, or at such other time as provided pursuant to the terms of the J&J Non-Qualified Plans, the J&J Excess Savings Plan or the Kenvue Excess Savings Plan.

ARTICLE X

The J&J Group and the Kenvue Group shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the members of the Kenvue Group or the members of the J&J Group, as applicable, from and against any and all Liabilities incurred by the Kenvue Group or the J&J Group, as applicable, that arise out of or result from the failure of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group (or successor employer), as applicable, to provide the cooperation described in this Section 11.01 on a timely basis.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which counterparts shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or PDF signature and a facsimile or PDF signature shall constitute an original for all purposes.

SECTION 12.02. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws thereof. Sections 11.02(b) – (f) of the Separation Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 12.03. Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement without consent in connection with (a) a merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets, or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets; provided, however, that the assignee expressly assumes in writing all of the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement, and the assigning Party provides written notice and evidence of such assignment and assumption to the non-assigning Party. No assignment

permitted by this Section 12.03 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 12.04. Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification rights under the Separation Agreement of any J&J Indemnitee or Kenvue Indemnitee in their respective capacities as such (to the extent incorporated herein), (a) the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not intended to confer upon any Person (including any Kenvue Employee, J&J Employee or Former Employee, or any beneficiary or dependent thereof) except the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder, (b) there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third person (including any Kenvue Employee, J&J Employee or Former Employee, or any beneficiary or dependent thereof) with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement and (c) nothing contained in this Agreement shall be treated as an amendment to any Kenvue Benefit Plan or J&J Benefit Plan or prevent the members of the Kenvue Group or the members of the J&J Group from amending or terminating any Benefit Plans. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and a J&J Benefit Plan, the terms of the J&J Benefit Plan shall control.

SECTION 12.05. Notices. All notices or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given when delivered or mailed in accordance with the terms of Section 11.05 of the Separation Agreement.

SECTION 12.06. Severability.

Upon any such determination, any such provision, to the extent determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be deemed replaced by a provision that such court determines is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

SECTION 12.07. Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.08. Survival of Covenants.

SECTION 12.09. Specific Performance. Subject to Section 11.12 of the Separation Agreement and notwithstanding the procedures set forth in Article IX of the Separation Agreement, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the

terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the affected Party shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to 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 hereof, 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.

SECTION 12.10. Section 409A. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Separation Agreement and any other Ancillary Agreement shall not result in adverse Tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code to any Kenvue Employee (or any of their respective beneficiaries), in respect of their benefits under any Benefit Plan.

SECTION 12.11. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by J&J at any time, in its sole discretion, prior to the Separation; provided that this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the Separation Agreement in accordance with its terms. In the event of any termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.11, neither of the Parties (or any of their directors or officers) shall have any Liability or further obligation to any other Party under this Agreement.

SECTION 12.12. Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by any Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party.

SECTION 12.13. Interpretation. Words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires. The terms “hereof,” “herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import, unless otherwise stated, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the schedules hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Article, Section or Schedule references are to the articles, sections and schedules of or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule to this Agreement but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement. Any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein (including any reference herein to this Agreement) shall be construed to refer to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications as set forth herein). The word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The words “will” and “shall” shall be interpreted to have the same meaning.

TRANSFERRED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND TECHNOLOGY AND ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES

SECTION 2.01. Assignment of Intellectual Property. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any limitations on transfer set forth in the DTSA, effective as of immediately prior to the closing of the Separation on the Separation Date, J&J hereby sells, assigns, transfers and conveys, and agrees to cause the members of its Group to hereby sell, assign, transfer and convey, to Kenvue all of the right, title and interest of the J&J Group in, to and under all Transferred Intellectual Property, subject to the licenses granted to J&J and the members of its Group in Article IV and all other licenses granted and obligations to grant a license under any such Intellectual Property existing and in full force and effect as of immediately prior to the Separation (subject to the terms and conditions contained in each such license or obligation to grant a license). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with

respect to any United States intent-to-use trademark applications included in the Transferred Intellectual Property (“ITU Applications”), the assignment granted hereunder accompanies the transfer of the business or portion of the business of the assignor to which such ITU Applications pertain, and that business is ongoing and existing, or the transfer of such ITU Applications shall not be effective until the expiration of any period during which the assignment thereof would impair, under applicable federal law, the registrability of such ITU Applications or the validity or enforceability of registrations issuing from such ITU Applications. The assignment of Transferred Intellectual Property herein includes all of J&J’s and its Group members’ right, title and interest in and to any and all proceeds, causes of action and rights of recovery against third parties for past and future infringement, misappropriation or other violation or impairment of any of the Transferred Intellectual Property. The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Group members (as applicable) to, execute Intellectual Property assignments in forms substantially similar to those attached as Schedule A1 (the “Patent Assignment Agreement”), Schedule A2 (the “Trademark Assignment Agreement”), Schedule A3 (the “Copyright Assignment Agreement”), Schedule A4 (the “Internet Properties Assignment Agreement”), as well as such additional case-specific assignments as deemed appropriate to carry out the intent of the Parties hereunder, as applicable (collectively, the “IP Assignment Agreements”), for recordation with the appropriate Governmental Authority. Except to the extent required by applicable Law, the IP Assignment Agreements shall not contain any representations or warranties or indemnities, shall not conflict with this Agreement and, to the extent that any provision of an IP Assignment Agreement does conflict with any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and control unless specifically stated otherwise in such IP Assignment Agreement.

(b) Recording Change of Ownership of the Transferred Intellectual Property. Kenvue shall have the sole responsibility, at its sole cost and expense, to file the IP Assignment Agreements and any other forms or documents as required to record the assignment of any Transferred Intellectual Property from J&J and the members of its Group to Kenvue; provided, however, that upon written request, J&J shall provide reasonable assistance to Kenvue to record the assignment, at Kenvue’s sole cost and expense.

(c) Responsibility for Transferred Intellectual Property. At or prior to the date that is the five (5)-month anniversary of the Separation Date, J&J shall provide Kenvue with a listing, in a form to be agreed upon by the Parties, of: (i) all known responses to office or registrar actions and fees due with respect to the Transferred Intellectual Property in all relevant jurisdictions with due dates within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date that is the six (6)-month anniversary of the Separation Date; and (ii) a copy of all hard-copy or digitally stored Docket Files, unless such files are in the possession of J&J’s outside counsel or agents, in which case J&J shall send written instructions to such counsel and agents directing them to act in accordance with Kenvue’s instructions with respect to such files.

(d) Legal Holds. The Parties acknowledge that certain Kenvue Transferred Data may be subject to a document or data preservation order directed by the J&J Law Department or by order of any Governmental Authority (a “Legal Hold”).

These Legal Holds may place certain limitations on the transfer of and access to the Kenvue Transferred Data. As such, concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall enter into the Legal Hold Protocol, substantially in the form of Schedule F, setting forth the terms and conditions governing the transfer, access and use, as applicable, of the Kenvue Transferred Data subject to a Legal Hold.

(e) J&J Intellectual Property. For the avoidance of doubt, all Intellectual Property owned by J&J or a member of its Group as of the date immediately prior to the Separation Date that does not constitute Transferred Intellectual Property or Common Infrastructure IP (“J&J Intellectual Property”) shall remain exclusively owned by J&J or a member of its Group (for the avoidance of doubt, other than Kenvue or a member of its Group) immediately following the assignments of Intellectual Property contemplated in Section 2.01(a) and (e), including where such Intellectual Property or embodiments of it are in the custody or control of a Kenvue entity or member of its Group following the Separation Date (“Leftover IP”). In the event that any such Leftover IP is discovered after the Separation Date, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly effect the transfer of such Leftover IP from Kenvue to J&J, including filing any forms or documents as required to record J&J’s ownership of such Leftover IP and transferring embodiments of such Leftover IP to J&J.

SECTION 2.02. Common Infrastructure Copyrights. (a) As between J&J and Kenvue, Common Infrastructure Copyrights shall be jointly owned by J&J and Kenvue.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that some of the materials associated with Common Infrastructure Copyrights (e.g., documents, PowerPoint slides, photo libraries, etc.) may also contain third-party-owned copyrighted material (“Third-Party Copyrights”) such as fonts, images and graphics, which are licensed to a Party.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 2.02(a), the use of any Common Infrastructure Copyrights by or for J&J, and any works related to, or based upon, any of the Common Infrastructure Copyrights, may not contain any references to Kenvue or any member of its Group, Kenvue’s or any member of its Group’s publications, personnel (including senior management) or management structures, or any other indication (other than the verbatim or paraphrased reproduction of the content) that such works are based upon any Common Infrastructure Copyrights that originated with Kenvue or any member of its Group, except for factual or historical uses or uses that have otherwise been previously approved in writing.

(d) Notwithstanding 2.01(a), the use of any Common Infrastructure Copyrights by or for Kenvue, and any works related to, or based upon, any of the Common Infrastructure Copyrights, may not contain any references to J&J or any member of its Group or J&J’s or any member of its Group’s publications, personnel (including senior management) or management structures, or any other indication (other than the verbatim or paraphrased reproduction of the content) that such works are based upon any Common Infrastructure Copyrights that originated with J&J or any member of its Group, except for factual or historical uses or uses that have otherwise been previously

approved in writing (the “J&J References”). For clarity, Kenvue Group has no obligation to remove the J&J References from the Common Infrastructure Copyrights except to the extent Kenvue Group makes use of such Common Infrastructure Copyrights after the Separation Date beyond what is permitted under the Trademark License Agreements.

(e) To the extent any moral rights or rights to be identified as the author are included in any of the Common Infrastructure Copyrights, each Party waives all such rights to which they may be entitled with respect to the other Party’s use of such Common Infrastructure Copyrights.

(f) Neither Party shall have any obligation to the other Party to (i) notify of any changes or proposed changes to any of the Common Infrastructure Copyrights, (ii) include the other Party in any consideration of proposed changes to any of the Common Infrastructure Copyrights, (iii) provide draft changes of any of the Common Infrastructure Copyrights to the other Party for review or comment, (iv) provide the other Party with any updated materials relating to any of the Common Infrastructure Copyrights, (v) provide any accounting for profits relating to any of the Common Infrastructure Copyrights or (vi) seek the other Party’s consent for, or to notify the other Party of, any non-exclusive licenses granted under the Common Infrastructure Copyrights in each case solely to the extent such changes would not adversely affect the other Party’s continued use of the Common Infrastructure Copyrights in connection with the operation of its business.

SECTION 2.03. Common Infrastructure Know-How. As between J&J and Kenvue, Common Infrastructure Know-How shall be jointly owned by J&J and Kenvue. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, neither of the Parties shall be permitted to make Common Infrastructure Know-How public or otherwise destroy or impair the confidential and proprietary status of Common Infrastructure Know-How without the advance written consent of the other Party.

SECTION 2.04. Common Infrastructure Data. As between J&J and Kenvue, Common Infrastructure Data shall be jointly owned by J&J and Kenvue. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, neither of the Parties shall be permitted to make Common Infrastructure Data public or otherwise destroy or impair the confidential and proprietary status of Common Infrastructure Data without the advance written consent of the other Party or except as permitted under the DTSA.

SECTION 2.05. Acceptance and Assumption of Transferred IP Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, effective as of the Separation Date, Kenvue shall, and shall cause the applicable members of its Group to, accept, assume and agree faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill the Transferred IP Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms. Kenvue shall, and shall cause the applicable members of its Group to, be responsible for all Transferred IP Liabilities, regardless of when or where such Transferred IP Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to, at or subsequent to the Separation, regardless of where or against whom such Transferred IP Liabilities are asserted or determined or whether asserted or determined prior to the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.06. Acceptance and Assumption by J&J of Common Infrastructure IP Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, effective as of the Separation Date, J&J shall, and shall cause the applicable members of its Group to, accept, assume and agree faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill the J&J Common Infrastructure IP Liability Contribution to any Common Infrastructure IP Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms. J&J shall, and shall cause the applicable members of its Group to, be responsible for the J&J Common Infrastructure IP Liability Contribution to any Common Infrastructure IP Liabilities, regardless of when or where such Common Infrastructure IP Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to, at or subsequent to the Separation, regardless of where or against whom such Common Infrastructure IP Liabilities are asserted or determined prior to or after the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.07. Delayed Transfers; Wrong Pockets. (a) In the event that it is discovered after the Separation that there was an omission of (i) the transfer or conveyance by J&J (or a member of the J&J Group) or the acceptance or assumption by Kenvue (or a member of the Kenvue Group) of any Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability, as the case may be, or (ii) the transfer or conveyance by one Party (or any other member of its Group) to, or the acceptance or assumption by, the other Party (or any other member of its Group) of any Intellectual Property, IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability, as the case may be, that, had the Parties given specific consideration to such Intellectual Property, IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability prior to the Separation, would have otherwise been so transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly effect such transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption of such Intellectual Property, IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, if it is discovered after the Separation that there was an omission from Schedule B1 of any Patent that, as of the date immediately prior to the Separation Date, was owned or controlled by J&J and primarily related to or used or held for use primarily in connection with the business or operations of the Kenvue Business, the Parties promptly upon discovery shall amend Schedule B1 to include such Patent, which shall be deemed a Transferred Patent and subject to transfer pursuant to this Section 2.07(a). Any transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption made pursuant to this Section 2.07(a) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if it had occurred on the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the closing of the Separation on the Separation Date and (ii) the time such Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability, as the case may be, would have been transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed had they been subject to the Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument for the jurisdiction to which such Intellectual Property or Liability relate, in each case, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, any resulting licenses to the Intellectual Property subject to such transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption shall be deemed to have commenced on the Separation Date.

(b) In the event that it is discovered after the Separation that there was a transfer or conveyance by J&J (or a member of the J&J Group) to, or the acceptance or assumption by, Kenvue (or a member of the Kenvue Group) of any Intellectual Property, IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability, as the case may be, that is not Transferred Intellectual Property or a Transferred IP Liability, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly transfer or convey such Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability back to the transferring or conveying Party or to rescind any acceptance or assumption of such Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, if it is discovered after the Separation that there was an inclusion on Schedule B1 of any Patent that, as of the date immediately prior to the Separation Date, was owned or controlled by J&J and primarily related to or used or held for use primarily in connection with the business or operations of the J&J Business, then the Parties, promptly upon discovery, shall amend Schedule B1 to remove such Patent, which shall be deemed a Retained Patent and subject to transfer pursuant to this Section 2.07(b). Any transfer or conveyance made or acceptance or assumption rescinded pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if such Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability had never been originally transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed, as the case may be, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(c) To the extent that any transfer or conveyance of any Intellectual Property or Common Infrastructure IP or acceptance or assumption of any IP Liability or Common Infrastructure IP Liability required by this Agreement to be so transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed shall not have been effected as of the Separation Date, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to effect such transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption as promptly following the Separation Date as shall be practicable. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the transfer or conveyance of any Intellectual Property or Common Infrastructure IP or the acceptance or assumption of any Intellectual Property Liabilities or Common Infrastructure IP Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be so transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed; provided, however, that the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain any necessary Consents for the transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption (as applicable) of all Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liabilities, Common Infrastructure IP and Common Infrastructure IP Liabilities required by this Agreement to be so transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed; provided further that neither Party nor any member of its Group shall be required to contribute capital, pay or grant any consideration or concession in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make any such Consent. In the event that any such transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption (as applicable) has not been completed effective as of and after the Separation Date, the Party retaining such Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability (or the member of the Party’s Group retaining such Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP

Liability) shall thereafter hold such Intellectual Property or Common Infrastructure IP for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto) and retain such IP Liability or Common Infrastructure IP Liability for the account, and at the expense, of the Party by whom such IP Liability or Common Infrastructure IP Liability should have been assumed or accepted pursuant to this Agreement, and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Intellectual Property or Common Infrastructure IP should have been transferred or conveyed, or by whom such IP Liability or Common Infrastructure IP Liability should have been assumed or accepted, as the case may be, in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as would have existed had such Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability been transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed (as applicable) as contemplated by this Agreement, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain/loss and control over such Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such held Intellectual Property or Common Infrastructure IP for the use and benefit of the other Party may be cancelled, abandoned, not renewed or registered in the ordinary course of business and need only be held in accordance with the RIM Policies and Procedures or New RIM Policies and Procedures, as applicable, as described in the DTSA. As and when any such Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability becomes transferable, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly effect such transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption (as applicable). Any transfer, conveyance, acceptance or assumption made pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be treated by the Parties for all purposes as if it had occurred on the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the closing of the Separation on the Separation Date, and (ii) the time such Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability, as the case may be, would have been transferred, conveyed, accepted or assumed had they been subject to the Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument for the jurisdiction to which such Intellectual Property or Liability relate, in each case, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(d) The Party retaining any Transferred Intellectual Property, Transferred IP Liability, Common Infrastructure IP or Common Infrastructure IP Liability due to the deferral of the transfer and conveyance of such Intellectual Property or Common Infrastructure IP or the deferral of the acceptance and assumption of such IP Liability or Common Infrastructure IP Liability pursuant to this Section 2.07 or otherwise shall not be obligated by this Agreement, in connection with this Section 2.07, to expend any money or take any action that would require the expenditure of money (other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party or the member of the Party’s Group entitled to such Intellectual Property or Common Infrastructure IP or intended to assume such IP Liability or Common Infrastructure IP Liability, as applicable) unless and to the extent the Party or the member of the Party’s Group entitled to such Intellectual Property or Common Infrastructure IP or intended to assume such IP Liability or Common Infrastructure IP Liability, as applicable, advances or agrees to reimburse it for the applicable expenditures.

J&J hereby grants, and agrees to cause the members of the J&J Group to hereby grant, to Kenvue and the members of the Kenvue Group the following personal, irrevocable (except as set forth in Article VIII and Article IX), non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and non-transferable (except as set forth in Article VIII) licenses under the Licensed J&J IP (other than J&J Shared Data) subject to the terms of this Agreement as follows:

(a) Patents. Under the Licensed J&J Patents to make (including the right to practice any methods, processes and procedures), have made (subject to Section 3.02), use, lease, sell, offer for sale and import Kenvue Products in the Kenvue Business as operated on the Separation Date and any reasonable and natural extensions thereof.

(c) Know-How. Subject to Section 6.02, under the Licensed J&J Know-How, solely to design, develop, make and have made (subject to Section 3.02), sell and support Kenvue Products in the Kenvue Business as operated on the Separation Date and any reasonable and natural extensions thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Know-How used or held for use exclusively in connection with the business or operations of the J&J Business as of the Separation Date shall not be subject to the license granted pursuant to this Section 3.01(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Know-How licenses set forth in this Section 3.01(c) shall not apply to any data included in Know-How that is Shared Data, the licensing of which shall be governed by Section 3.02.

(d) Third-Party Licenses. With respect to Intellectual Property licensed to J&J or the members of its Group by a third party, the license grants set forth in this Article III shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the relevant license agreement between J&J (or a member of its Group, as the case may be) and such third party. Licenses to Kenvue under Intellectual Property owned by a third party shall expire or terminate on the expiration or termination of the corresponding license agreement, or the right to grant sublicenses thereunder, between such third party and J&J (or the member of its Group, as the case may be).

(e) Reasonable Access. Subject to Section 5.01, J&J acknowledges and agrees to allow Kenvue, or a member of its Group, after the Separation, reasonable access to any of the Licensed J&J IP, materials or data licensed to Kenvue and members of its Group pursuant to this Article III, at Kenvue’s expense. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, solely to the extent laboratory notebooks being retained by J&J contain information relating to a combination of J&J and Kenvue Intellectual Property, J&J shall retain such laboratory notebooks for the period of time required by J&J’s current retention policy for J&J laboratory notebooks, and J&J shall provide Kenvue with timely access to laboratory notebooks in J&J’s possession that contain such information during normal business hours upon reasonable request.

(a) J&J hereby grants, and agrees to cause the members of the J&J Group to hereby grant, to Kenvue and the members of the Kenvue Group the following personal, irrevocable (except as set forth in Article VIII and Article IX), non-exclusive, royalty-free and non-transferable (except as set forth in Article VIII) licenses to use the J&J Shared Data solely within the Territory and solely in connection with the Kenvue Business as operated on the Separation Date and any reasonable and natural extensions thereof (the “J&J Shared Data License”), solely to the extent that J&J or any member of its Group has the right immediately

following the Separation to grant licenses thereunder to Kenvue of the scope granted by J&J to Kenvue in this Section 3.02, without the payment of royalties or other consideration to any third parties (excluding employees of J&J and employees of the members of its Group). The J&J Shared Data License set forth in this Section 3.02 shall continue, with respect to each licensed portion of J&J Shared Data, until the valid occurrence of an exception to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 7.09 (Confidential Information) of the Separation Agreement or Section 6.02 hereof resulting in such portion of J&J Shared Data ceasing to be confidential or proprietary to J&J. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, J&J Shared Data used or held for use exclusively in connection with the business or operations of the J&J Business as of the Separation Date shall not be subject to the license granted pursuant to this Section 3.02. The technical implementation of the J&J Shared Data License shall be governed by the DTSA.

(b) In the event that J&J or any members of its Group do not have the right immediately following the Separation to grant licenses to Kenvue as provided in Section 3.02 without the payment of royalties or other consideration to any third parties (excluding employees of J&J and employees of the members of its Group), J&J shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such right to grant licenses; provided, however, that Kenvue shall be responsible for the applicable costs and expenses incurred by J&J, including the payment of royalties or other consideration to any third parties (excluding costs and expenses for employees of J&J and employees of the members of its Group).

SECTION 3.05. Improvements. As between J&J and the members of its Group on the one hand, and Kenvue and the members of its Group on the other hand, Kenvue and the members of its Group hereby retain all right, title and interest in and to any Improvements made by or on behalf of Kenvue or the members of its Group from and after the Separation Date (a) to any of the Retained Copyrights, Retained Know-How or Common Infrastructure Copyrights, or (b) in the exercise of the licenses granted to it by J&J and the members of its Group pursuant to this Article III, subject in each case only to the ownership interests of J&J, the members of its Group and third parties in the underlying Intellectual Property that is improved.

Improvements made by or on behalf of it or the members of its Group or to disclose or license any such Improvements to J&J or the members of its Group.

SECTION 3.06. Memorabilia License. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Memorabilia (as defined in the Separation Agreement) owned by Kenvue as of or immediately following the Separation or obtained pursuant to Section 7.01(d) of the Separation Agreement, J&J hereby grants, and agrees to cause the members of the J&J Group to hereby grant, to Kenvue and the members of the Kenvue Group a personal, irrevocable (except as set forth in Article VIII and Article IX), non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and non-transferable (except as set forth in Article VIII) license under all Copyrights, Trademarks and Internet Properties owned or controlled by J&J as of or after the Separation (solely to the extent J&J has the right immediately following the Separation to grant such license to Kenvue without the payment of royalties or other consideration to any third parties) to the extent necessary to use, reproduce, prepare derivative works of, perform and display the works of authorship included in such Memorabilia, including any works of authorship embodied in, and any Trademarks displayed on or within, such Memorabilia as of the Separation (collectively, “J&J Memorabilia IP”), solely in a substantially similar manner as such J&J Memorabilia IP was used in connection with such Memorabilia prior to the Separation; provided that any use of Trademarks licensed to Kenvue hereunder in connection with such Memorabilia shall be solely for historical, archival or factual purposes and not as an indicator of source or endorsement or otherwise in connection with the commercialization of Kenvue Products.

Kenvue hereby grants, and agrees to cause the members of the Kenvue Group to hereby grant, to J&J and the members of the J&J Group the following personal, irrevocable (except as set forth in Article VIII and Article IX), non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and non-transferable (except as set forth in Article VIII) licenses under the Licensed Kenvue IP, excluding Kenvue Shared Data, subject to the terms of this Agreement as follows:

(c) Know-How. Subject to Section 6.02, under the Licensed Kenvue Know-How, solely to design, develop, make and have made (subject to Section 4.02), sell and support J&J Products in the J&J Business as operated on the Separation Date and any reasonable and natural extensions thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Know-How used or held for use exclusively in connection with the business or operations of the Kenvue Business as of the Separation Date shall not be subject to the license granted pursuant to this Section 4.01(c).

The Kenvue Shared Data License set forth in this Section 4.02 shall continue, with respect to each licensed portion of Kenvue Shared Data, until a valid occurrence of an exception to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 7.09 (“Confidential Information”) of the Separation Agreement or Section 6.02 hereof resulting in such portion of Kenvue Shared Data ceasing to be confidential or proprietary to Kenvue. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Kenvue Shared Data used or held for use exclusively in connection with the business or operations of the Kenvue Business as of the Separation Date shall not be subject to the license granted pursuant to this Section 4.02. The technical implementation of the Kenvue Shared Data License shall be governed by the DTSA.

(a) not intentionally take any action, or permit any action to be taken, that would cause unauthorized Processing of the Licensor’s Shared Data (it being understood that any use of the Shared Data pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the Data Processing Addendum (as defined in the DTSA) and serving a good-faith and substantially legitimate purpose in the conduct of the applicable Licensee’s Business, shall not be deemed unauthorized Processing of the Shared Data);

(b) notify Licensor of the occurrence of any action, whether intentional or unintentional, having an effect as described in Section 5.01(a), as soon as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware of such occurrence (it being understood that any such notification to this Section 5.01 shall not be interpreted as any admission of fault on the part of Licensee or its Sublicensee); and

(c) (i) use reasonable best efforts to delete any Data exclusively related to the other Party and (ii) should deletion not be feasible pursuant to this Section 5.01(c)(i), the Party with access to such Data shall not use such Data and shall hold it in strict confidence, not release or disclose such Data, and shall protect such Data, with at least the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, that the Party applies to its own confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect immediately prior to the Separation Date.

SECTION 5.02. Sanctioned Country Intellectual Property Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that (i) any transfer or assignment from J&J or the members of the J&J Group to Kenvue of any Kenvue Patents or Kenvue Trademarks from a Sanctioned Country, including, as of the date hereof, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, the Crimea Region, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic in Ukraine or Venezuela, and (ii) any grant of any licensing rights from J&J or the members of the J&J Group to Kenvue or from Kenvue to J&J or the members of the J&J Group to any Kenvue Patents or Kenvue Trademarks from a Sanctioned Country, including, as of the date hereof, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea Region, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic in Ukraine, or Venezuela (“Sanctioned Country Assets”), require and are subject to prior authorization from the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). When and as the Parties agree, the Party assigning and/or licensing the Sanctioned Country Assets shall use commercially reasonable efforts to submit a request to OFAC for authorization

to assign and transfer and/or to grant a license to the relevant Sanctioned Country Assets, as appropriate.

SECTION 5.03. Data Transfer and Sharing Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that, through the course of a history of integrated operations, they and the members of their respective Groups have obtained knowledge of, gained access to and shared use of certain data, including with respect to Business Records and the Processing of Personal Information, that are not otherwise governed expressly by this Agreement and are not exclusively related to or used or held for use exclusively in the business or operations of either Party. Subject to applicable Privacy and Data Security Requirements, the Parties seek to ensure that each Party has the freedom to access such data after the Separation. As such, concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall enter into a Data Transfer and Sharing Agreement, including the Data Processing Addendum appended thereto, substantially in the form of Schedule E (collectively, the “DTSA”) setting forth the terms and conditions governing the continued access and/or transfer, as applicable, of Shared Data and Common Infrastructure Data. The DTSA further shall set forth the data transfer protocol for Kenvue Transferred Data assigned by J&J to Kenvue pursuant to Article II and J&J Retained Data owned by J&J but in Kenvue’s possession as of the Separation Date. The DTSA shall provide the records and information management policies and procedures to govern the Data in each Party’s possession. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the DTSA, the DTSA shall control with respect to all matters regarding transfer of Data and access and use (including with respect to Processing Personal Information) of Shared Data, Common Infrastructure Data, J&J Retained Data and Kenvue Transferred Data.

SECTION 5.04. Assistance by Employees. Each of J&J and Kenvue agree to use reasonable best efforts to make available, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the Persons in its respective Group and any books, records or other documents within its control or that it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that 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 any Administrative IP Proceeding or threatened or contemplated Administrative IP Proceeding (including preparation for any such Administrative IP Proceeding) in which either J&J or Kenvue, or any Person or Persons in either Group, as applicable, may from time to time be involved. Any actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such assistance shall be borne by the Party directly involved in the Administrative IP Proceeding. For the purposes of this Section 5.04, “Administrative IP Proceedings” shall mean the prosecution of, and other patent or trademark office proceedings (e.g., reissue, reexamination, interference, inter partes review, post-grant review, cancellation, opposition, expungement, etc.) regarding, the other Party’s Patents, Trademarks and other Intellectual Property.

SECTION 5.05. Inventor Compensation. Each Party will be responsible for providing inventor incentive compensation, if any, to its and its Group members’ employees in accordance with its own internal policies and any applicable laws and regulations. To the extent that a Party bases an inventor’s incentive compensation on a

Patent or a Patent application of the other Party, the Parties will reasonably cooperate by providing to each other relevant information about their Patents for which one or more inventors are employees of the other Party. To the extent that inventor compensation is specified by applicable Law, the Parties will reasonably cooperate in providing information to each other in order to enable each Party to calculate inventor compensation. No Party shall have any obligation to provide any inventor incentive compensation to an employee of the other Party except as required by applicable Law. Any Information provided under this Section 5.05 shall be subject to Section 7.09 (Confidential Information) of the Separation Agreement and Section 6.02 hereof.

SECTION 5.06. No Implied Licenses. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring any rights (including the right to sublicense) by implication, estoppel or otherwise, under any Intellectual Property, other than as expressly granted in this Agreement, and all other rights under any Intellectual Property licensed to a Party or the members of its Group hereunder are expressly reserved by the Party granting the license. The Party receiving any license hereunder acknowledges and agrees that, as between each Party (or the applicable member of its Group) and the other Party (or the applicable member of its Group), the Party (or the applicable member of its Group) granting the license is the sole and exclusive owner of the Intellectual Property so licensed.

SECTION 5.07. No Field Restrictions. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Trademark Related Agreements, and subject to the rights of the other Party and the members of its Group pursuant to this Agreement, each Party and the members of its Group shall be free to grant rights of any sort under any of its owned Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property that it jointly owns with the other Party or the members of its Group to any third party without restriction as to field of use.

SECTION 5.08. No Obligation To Prosecute or Maintain Registrations. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Party or any member of its Group shall have any obligation to seek, perfect or maintain any protection for any of its Intellectual Property.

SECTION 5.09. Quality Standards. The Parties acknowledges and agree that all use of the Shared Data, the Common Infrastructure Data, the Licensed J&J IP and Licensed Kenvue IP, as applicable, hereunder shall be in accordance in all respects with the provisions of this Agreement and shall conform to the same high standards of quality associated such Intellectual Property as observed immediately prior to the Separation Date.

SECTION 5.10. Technical Assistance. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, in the Separation Agreement or any other mutually executed agreement between the Parties or any of the members of their respective Groups, no Party or any member of its Group shall be required to provide the other Party with any technical

assistance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, J&J agrees to furnish Kenvue Group with copies of any Intellectual Property-related documents, materials or other Information; (i) pertaining to the Kenvue Business; (ii) in the custody or control of J&J and; (iii) which J&J has the right to provide without the requirement to pay consideration to another party; provided that Kenvue may pay any such consideration on J&J’s behalf; (iv) reasonably requested in writing by Kenvue Group; and (v) which cannot be otherwise reasonably obtained by Kenvue.

SECTION 5.11. Third-Party Infringement. No Party or any member of its Group shall have any obligation hereunder to institute or maintain any action or suit against third parties for infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property licensed to the other Party hereunder, or to defend any action or suit brought by a third party which challenges or concerns the validity of any of such Intellectual Property or which claims that any Intellectual Property licensed to the other Party or any member of its Group hereunder constitutes infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property of any third party. Each Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Licensor in writing upon learning that a third party may be infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating or impairing any Patents, Copyright or Know-How of the Licensor that are licensed to the Licensee under this Agreement. Such notification shall set forth in reasonable specificity the identity of the suspected infringing third party and the nature of the suspected infringement. The Licensee shall not take any steps to contact any such third party without the Licensor’s prior written permission, and the Licensor shall have the sole discretion to determine whether and in what manner to address any actual or suspected unauthorized third-party use and shall be exclusively entitled to any remedies, including monetary damages, related thereto or resulting therefrom. In the event that the Licensor decides to initiate any claim against any third party, the Licensee shall reasonably cooperate with the Licensor, subject to Section 5.06. Any actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such cooperation shall be borne by the Licensor, expressly excluding the value of the time of the Licensee’s personnel (regarding which the Parties shall agree on a case-by-case basis with respect to reasonable compensation).

SECTION 5.12. Actions and Investigations by Governmental Entities. If any Action or investigation by any Governmental Authority is brought or threatened against the applicable Licensee or any of its Sublicensees alleging a violation of any applicable Privacy and Data Security Requirement in relation to the Shared Data to which it receives a license under Section 3.02 or 4.02, as applicable, such Licensee shall promptly notify the applicable Licensor in writing of the Action or investigation, which notice shall include as much detail as is reasonably available under the circumstances, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Such Licensee shall not make any admissions with respect to the Shared Data in connection with any Action or investigation without the prior consent of the applicable Licensor. The applicable Licensee and applicable Licensor shall have the right to defend its own interests with respect to any such Action or investigation by a Governmental Authority; provided that the non-defending Party shall reasonably cooperate with the defending Party’s request; provided further that the defending Party shall, in its defense, consider in good faith any strategies or actions to

mitigate prejudice to the non-defending Party’s interests reasonably raised by the non-defending Party.

SECTION 5.13. No Challenge to Title. Each Party agrees that it shall not (and shall cause the members of its Group not to), for any reason, from the Separation Date until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Separation Date, either itself do or authorize any third party to do any of the following anywhere in the world with respect to any Intellectual Property licensed to it or the members of its Group hereunder: (a) represent to any third party in any manner that it owns or has any ownership rights in such Intellectual Property; (b) apply for any registration of such Intellectual Property (including federal, state and national registrations); or (c) impair, dispute or contest the validity, enforceability or registrability of the other Party’s (or any of the members of such other Party’s Group) right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property. The immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to Trademarks, challenges to which are governed by the Trademark Related Agreements.

SECTION 5.14. Rights Requests. Each Party shall be responsible for complying with rights requests made under applicable Privacy and Data Security Requirements (including under GDPR Chapter III, as applicable), in connection with Personal Information that each Party possesses or that such party sub-contracted to a third party to Process.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

SECTION 6.01. Contract Manufacturing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party agrees that, in exercising its “Have-Made” rights (by Kenvue, pursuant to Section 3.02, or by J&J, pursuant to Section 4.02), each Party and the members of its Group may only disclose Know-How licensed from the other Party or a member of its Group in Article III or Article IV to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement and as reasonably necessary to exercise such rights, and then only if it has executed a written confidentiality agreement with the applicable third-party contract manufacturer with appropriate, industry-standard terms, and in all cases containing terms and conditions pertaining to the protection of proprietary and confidential information no less restrictive than those set forth in this Article VI and Section 7.09 (Confidential Information) of the Separation Agreement.

SECTION 6.02. Know-How and Data. In addition to the provisions of Section 7.09 (Confidential Information) of the Separation Agreement, J&J shall maintain the confidentiality of the Transferred Know-How, the Know-How licensed under Section 4.01(c), the Kenvue Shared Data and the Common Infrastructure Know-How in J&J’s possession, and Kenvue shall maintain the confidentiality of the Know-How licensed under Section 3.01(c), the J&J Shared Data and the Common Infrastructure

Know-How in Kenvue’s possession. Each Party shall use (and shall cause the members of its Group to use) the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own Know-How and Data, but in any case no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent unauthorized use, dissemination or publication of the Know-How or Data licensed to such Party under Sections 4.01(c) and 4.03(a) or Sections 3.01(c) and 3.02(a), as applicable, the Common Infrastructure Know-How, the Common Infrastructure Data and, as to J&J only, the Transferred Know-How and Kenvue Transferred Data. Any third-party disclosure by either Party necessary to exploit the Know-How licensed to such Party under Section 4.01(c) or Section 3.01(c) or the Common Infrastructure Know-How shall be made only under a confidentiality agreement with terms no less restrictive than those of this Article VI. Know-How shall cease to qualify as confidential information if it (a) becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement or (b) is obtained from a third party lawfully in possession of the Know-How and which provides the Know-How without breach of any duty of confidentiality owed directly or indirectly to the Know-How owner (either J&J or Kenvue, as may be applicable). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.02, each Party and the members of its Group may disclose any Information included in Know-How or Data of the other Party and the members of its Group (i) if required by law, regulation or court order provided that the Party seeking to disclose provides notice and a reasonable opportunity to object to, limit or condition the disclosure (e.g., to limit the disclosure to the minimum necessary to comply with the law, regulation or court order and for the disclosure to be made under protective order or other order of confidentiality) or (ii) with the other Party’s prior written consent.

(a) Except as may expressly be set forth in this Agreement, none of J&J, Kenvue or any other member of either Group shall in any event have any IP Liability to the other or to any other member of the other’s Group, or to any other J&J Indemnitee or Kenvue Indemnitee, as applicable, under this Agreement (i) with respect to any matter to the extent that such Party seeking indemnification has engaged in any knowing violation of Law or fraud in connection therewith or (ii) for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages, whether or not caused by or resulting from negligence or breach of obligations hereunder and whether or not informed of the possibility of the existence of such damages; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 7.01 shall not limit an Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to any Liability any Indemnitee may have to any third party not affiliated with any member of the J&J Group or the Kenvue Group for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, any Liability (other than IP Liability) and indemnification obligation arising out of a third-party claim of infringement, misappropriation or violation of their Intellectual Property shall be governed by the Separation Agreement.

Except as may expressly be set forth herein, any such Intellectual Property is being transferred on an “as is,” “where is” basis and the respective transferees shall bear the economic and legal risks that (a) any conveyance shall prove to be insufficient to vest in the transferee good and marketable title, free and clear of any Security Interest, and (b) any necessary Governmental Approvals or other Consents are not obtained or that any requirements of Laws or judgments are not complied with.

SECTION 8.01. No Assignment or Transfer Without Consent. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including in Section 8.02 below), neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement, including the Intellectual Property licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement, shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either Party or any member of its Group without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without prior notice or consent of the other Party (a) to any of its Affiliates or (b) in connection with (i) a merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s assets; (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s assets; or (iii) the divestiture of a line business in accordance with Section 8.02(c); provided, however, that the assignee expressly assumes in writing all of the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement and, if applicable, the Trademark Related Agreements and the DTSA, and the assigning Party provides, within ninety (90) days of the effective date of such

assignment, written notice and evidence of such assignment and assumption to the non-assigning Party.

SECTION 8.02. Divested Businesses. In the event a Party divests a business by (a) spinning off a member of its Group by its sale or other disposition to a third party, (b) reducing ownership or control in a member of its Group so that it no longer qualifies as a member of its Group under this Agreement or (c) selling or otherwise transferring a member of its Group or a specific brand, business line or product to a third party (each such divested entity/line of business, a “Divested Business”), the entity holding the Divested Business, or in the event the Divested Business is acquired by a third party through an acquisition of its assets, such third party, shall (i) retain those licenses granted to the Divested Business under this Agreement and (ii) continue to grant those licenses granted by such Divested Business under this Agreement, in each case, subject to the other terms of this Agreement and, if applicable, the Trademark Related Agreements, and the DTSA. The retention of any license grants is subject to the entity holding the Divested Business and, in the event it is acquired by a third party, such third party’s execution and delivery to the non-transferring Party, within ninety (90) days of the effective date of such assignment, of a duly authorized, written undertaking, agreeing to be bound by the applicable terms of this Agreement and if applicable, the Trademark Related Agreements, and the DTSA. In the event that the licenses granted to the Divested Business pursuant to Section 8.02(i) also apply to a portion of the non-divested business, the Licensor hereby agrees to grant both Licensee and the entity holding the Divested Business and, in the event it is acquired by a third party, such third party, such licenses, in each case, subject to the other terms of this Agreement and, if applicable, the Trademark Related Agreements, and the DTSA. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any license by virtue of the divestiture of a Divested Business (x) be broader than the licenses conveyed in advance of the divestiture to a Party under the terms of this Agreement, or (y) apply to any products, product lines, services, apparatus, devices, systems, components, hardware, software, processes, solutions, any combination of the foregoing, or other offerings of any third-party acquirer or its affiliates, other than the Kenvue Products or the J&J Products (as the case may be) that were transferred to the former entity/line of business under the divestiture of a Divested Business or (z) convey any further rights under this Section 8.02 after the initial divestiture of a Divested Business.

SECTION 11.05. Export Control. Each Party agrees that it shall comply with all applicable national and international laws and regulations relating to export control in its country(ies), if any, involving any commodities, software, services or technology within the scope of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.06. Bankruptcy. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all rights and licenses granted by the other under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, J&J and the members of the J&J Group and Kenvue and the members of the Kenvue Group, as licensees of such intellectual property under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code (including J&J’s and the J&J Group members’ and Kenvue’s and the Kenvue Group members’ right to the continued enjoyment of the rights and licenses respectively granted under this Agreement).

SECTION 11.07. Severability. If any provision of this 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 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, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon any such determination, any such

provision, to the extent determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be deemed replaced by a provision that such court determines is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

SECTION 11.08. Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all third-party fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection with the provisions of this Agreement will be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Separation is consummated, or as otherwise agreed by the Parties.

SECTION 11.11. Waivers of Default. No failure or delay of any Party (or the applicable member of its Group) in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Waiver by any Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default.

SECTION 11.12. Specific Performance. Notwithstanding the procedures set forth in Article IX, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the affected Party shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to 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 hereof, 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.

SECTION 11.13. No Admission of Liability. The allocation of Intellectual Property and IP Liabilities herein is solely for the purpose of allocating such Intellectual Property and IP Liabilities between J&J and the other members of the J&J Group, on the one hand, and Kenvue and the other members of the Kenvue Group, on the other hand, and is not intended as an admission of liability or responsibility for any alleged Liabilities vis-à-vis any third party.

SECTION 11.15. Interpretation. Words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires. The terms “hereof,” “herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import, unless otherwise stated, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the schedules hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Article, Section or Schedule references are to the articles, sections and schedules of or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule to this Agreement but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement. Any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein (including any reference herein to this Agreement) shall be construed to refer to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications as set forth herein). The word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified.

ARTICLE III

OWNERSHIP AND USE OF LICENSED J&J MARKS

SECTION 3.01. Ownership. JJCI acknowledges the validity, and J&J’s exclusive ownership, of the Licensed J&J Marks and agrees that any and all goodwill, rights or interests in the Licensed J&J Marks that might be acquired by the use of the Licensed J&J Marks by JJCI shall inure to the sole benefit of J&J. If JJCI or any of its Affiliates obtains rights or interests in the Licensed J&J Marks, JJCI (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby transfers and shall execute upon written request by J&J any additional documents or instruments necessary or desirable to transfer, those rights or interests to J&J. JJCI acknowledges and agrees that, as between J&J and JJCI, JJCI has been extended only a mere permissive right to use the Licensed J&J Marks as provided in this Agreement, which right is not coupled with any ownership interest. Any rights not granted to JJCI in this Agreement are specifically reserved by and for J&J.

SECTION 3.02. Registration and Maintenance. At J&J’s cost and expense, J&J shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute, maintain and renew, as applicable, the Licensed J&J Marks during the Term. J&J and its Affiliates will own all right, title and interest in and to any and all registrations and applications for registration of the Licensed J&J Marks, whether filed before or after the Local Separation Date. JJCI shall supply J&J with such information as J&J may reasonably request in writing in order for J&J to acquire, maintain and renew registrations of the Licensed J&J Marks, to record this Agreement, to enter JJCI as a registered or authorized user of the Licensed J&J Marks or for any purpose reasonably related to J&J’s maintenance and protection of the Licensed J&J Marks. JJCI shall fully cooperate with J&J’s reasonable written requests in the execution, filing, and prosecution of any registration of a Trademark relating to the Licensed J&J Marks that J&J may desire to obtain. For the foregoing purpose, JJCI shall supply to J&J such samples, labels, letterheads and other similar materials bearing the Licensed J&J Marks as may be reasonably required by J&J.

SECTION 3.03. Enforcement. JJCI shall give J&J commercially reasonable notice of any known infringements or other violations of the Licensed J&J Marks of which it becomes aware.

J&J shall retain all rights to bring all actions and proceedings in connection with infringement or other violations of the Licensed J&J Marks in its sole discretion. If J&J decides to enforce the Licensed J&J Marks, all costs incurred and all recoveries made shall be for the account of J&J. J&J shall also retain the right to decide how to manage, resolve, or settle any such enforcement action so long as any resolution or settlement does not adversely impact the rights granted to JJCI herein, in which case the proposed resolution or settlement shall require the prior written approval of JJCI, not to be unreasonably withheld. In the event that JJCI would be adversely impacted by a proposed resolution or settlement, consent shall be required from JJCI, not to be unreasonably withheld.

J&J shall render to JJCI full and commercially reasonable cooperation for the same, including executing and providing powers of attorney and other documents as reasonably requested in writing by JJCI, including, if required, to be named as a party to such an enforcement action (all at JJCI’s expense), provided that J&J shall have the right in any such action to meaningfully advise and consult with JJCI and JJCI shall not resolve or settle such action that would adversely impact the rights granted to J&J in this Agreement without J&J’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 3.04. Restrictions on Use; No Registration. JJCI agrees not to, except as permitted in the JOHNSON’s License Agreement: (a) use or register in any jurisdiction any Trademarks confusingly similar to, or consisting in whole or in part of, any of the Licensed J&J Marks; or (b) register any of the Licensed J&J Marks in any jurisdiction, without in each case the express prior written consent of J&J.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, JJCI shall be allowed to file for registration and use the “JOHNSON’S” Trademark in those jurisdictions where JJCI is the owner of such trademark as of the Local Separation Date pursuant to the IP Agreement, becomes the owner subject to Section 7.14 of the JOHNSON’s License Agreement, or in any jurisdictions subsequently agreed to by the Parties, subject to the terms of the Trademark Coexistence Agreement.

SECTION 3.05. Quality Standards.

JJCI shall comply with all applicable Laws.

(d) Use of the Licensed J&J Marks in any website (intranet or extranet) content (other than images of product packaging and labels as permitted under Section 4.01(a)), social media content (except historical posts), and other digital content uses shall terminate within one (1) year from the Separation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the use of the Licensed J&J Marks in such materials is incorporated in a legal entity name, then the termination date for such use shall be within one (1) year of the change of such legal entity name but not to exceed five (5) years from the Separation Date.

(g) Use of the Licensed J&J Marks in bottle or product molds and as embossed or debossed on tablets shall terminate in the next replacement cycle for such items, in the ordinary course of business, but at least within eight (8) years from the

Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, JJCI shall cease and completely discontinue all use of the Licensed J&J Marks and all licenses granted to JJCI herein shall immediately terminate.

Waiver by any Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default.

SECTION 7.10. Specific Performance.

The Parties agree that the remedies at Law for any breach or threatened breach hereof, 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.

Exhibit 10.6

This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 3, 2023, is between JOHNSON & JOHNSON, a New Jersey corporation (“J&J”), and KENVUE INC., a Delaware corporation (“Kenvue”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2023 (the “Separation Agreement”), between Kenvue and J&J, J&J intends, among other things, to separate into two independent, publicly-traded companies: (a) J&J, which will own and conduct, directly and indirectly, the J&J Business, and (b) Kenvue, which will own and conduct, directly and indirectly, the Kenvue Business; and

WHEREAS, effective upon the Separation, Kenvue desires to purchase from J&J, and J&J is willing to provide to Kenvue, the Services, in order (i) to facilitate Kenvue’s operation of the Kenvue Business after the Separation Date and (ii) to provide Kenvue the opportunity to obtain alternate sources of such services within a reasonable time after the Separation Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and undertakings contained herein, and subject to and on the terms and conditions herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Services to be Provided

SECTION 2.01. Provision of Services. (a) Services. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto), J&J shall provide, directly or through one or more Affiliates or Service Providers, and Kenvue shall purchase, the services described in Exhibit A hereto (the “Services”). J&J shall, directly or through one or more Affiliates or Service Providers, provide each Service consistent with the performance standard set forth in Section 2.05 and only with respect to the countries designated in Exhibit A hereto as receiving such Service.

(b) Designation of Affiliates. Kenvue may designate, upon not less than 10 days’ prior written notice and in any event prior to the execution of any applicable Local Services Agreement, one or more Affiliates to purchase Services, in each case related to an applicable country or region, in which event all references herein to Kenvue will be deemed to refer to such Affiliates, as appropriate; provided, however, that no such designation will in any event limit or affect the obligations of Kenvue under this Agreement to the extent not performed by such Affiliates.

(c) Service Providers. J&J may, at its option and from time to time, delegate any of its obligations to perform Services under this Agreement to any one or more of its Affiliates or engage the services of other professionals, consultants or other third parties (each, a “Service Provider”) in connection with the performance of the Services; provided, however, that J&J shall remain ultimately responsible for ensuring that its obligations with respect to the manner, scope, time frame, nature, quality

and other aspects of the Services are satisfied with respect to any Services provided by any such Affiliate or Service Provider and shall be liable for any failure of an Affiliate or Service Provider to so satisfy such obligations (or if any such Affiliate or Service Provider otherwise breaches any provision hereof).

(d) ERLR Services. Any Services provided by J&J that constitute ERLR Services (as defined in Exhibit B) shall be provided pursuant to, and in accordance with, the additional terms set forth in Exhibit B.

(e) Real Estate Licenses. Any license to a portion of a Facility (as defined in Exhibit C) that is required to be granted by J&J in connection with J&J’s provision of a Service hereunder shall be deemed to be granted pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms set forth in Exhibit C.

(f) IOM Services. In certain jurisdictions, J&J or one or more of its Affiliates will assist Kenvue and its Affiliates in carrying out the Kenvue Business in such jurisdictions pursuant to, and in accordance with, the interim operating agreements attached hereto as Exhibit E (such agreements, the “Interim Operating Agreements”, and the services to be provided by J&J or such Affiliates thereunder, the “IOM Services”). For the avoidance of doubt, the IOM Services shall not be considered to be Services hereunder and no Service Fees shall be payable with respect to the IOM Services hereunder; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Interim Operating Agreements, the provisions of Sections 5.04, 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 9.01, 9.02, 11.01, 11.02, 11.03, 11.04, 11.05(b), 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09 and 11.11 hereunder shall be deemed to be incorporated in such Interim Operating Agreements, mutatis mutandis, as if the IOM Services were “Services” under such provisions (it being understood that J&J’s maximum liability under each Interim Operating Agreement pursuant to such Section 9.01 shall be limited to the payments received under such Interim Operating Agreement). In the event of any conflict between the provisions of such sections hereunder and the provisions of any Interim Operating Agreement, the provisions of such sections hereunder shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, if any Interim Operating Agreement remains in effect on the date that is 24 months following the Separation Date (or any such later date set forth on Exhibit D with respect to the applicable Interim Operating Agreement), such Interim Operating Agreement shall be deemed to automatically terminate on such date (and, to the extent reasonably requested by either party, J&J and Kenvue shall cooperate to document such termination in writing).

SECTION 2.02. Service Amendments and Additions.

(a) Omitted Services. From time to time, Kenvue may request that J&J provide additional services that are not Services that (i) were provided to the Kenvue Business within the twelve (12) month period prior to the Separation and (ii) are reasonably necessary for the operation of the Kenvue Business, as conducted during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Separation (“Omitted Services”). In the event that Kenvue requests an Omitted Service, J&J shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Omitted Service to Kenvue.

(b) Additional Services. From time to time, Kenvue may also request that J&J provide additional services that are not Services and that are not Omitted Services (“Additional Services”). In the event that Kenvue requests an Additional Service, J&J may elect in its sole discretion to provide such Additional Service.

(c) Amendments to Service Exhibit. Any request for an Omitted Service or an Additional Service shall be in writing and shall specify the type and scope of the requested service, whether such requested service constitutes an Omitted Service or an Additional Service and the proposed term for the requested service. If J&J is to provide an Omitted Service or an Additional Service pursuant to this Section 2.02, J&J and Kenvue shall in good faith negotiate an amendment to Exhibit A hereto,

which will describe in detail the type and scope of the service, the countries in which such service is to be provided and the applicable Service Period and Service Fee; provided, that the Service Fee payable for any Omitted Service shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the methodology used to calculate the Service Fees payable for the Services included on Exhibit A hereto. Once agreed to in writing, such amendment shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of such date and the applicable Omitted Service or Additional Service shall be deemed to be a “Service” hereunder.

(d) Recipient-Requested Changes to Existing Services. If Kenvue requests that the level or volume of any Service be increased in scope beyond that provided to the Kenvue Business during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Separation or that the manner in which any Service is provided be changed from that provided to the Kenvue Business during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Separation, J&J will use commercially reasonable efforts to increase the level or volume of such Service or change the manner in which such Service is provided to extent commercially practicable; provided, that in no event shall J&J be required to materially increase the level or volume of any Service or, unless required for such Service to be in compliance with applicable Law, materially change the manner in which any Service is provided. If J&J increases the level or volume of such Service or changes the manner in which such Service is provided pursuant to this Section 2.02(d), any and all fees associated with such increase or change shall be negotiated in good faith and agreed upon between Kenvue and J&J.

(e) Provider-Directed Changes to Existing Services. J&J may, from time to time, make changes in the manner of providing a Service (i) if J&J is making similar changes in performing the same or substantially similar service for itself or its Affiliates or (ii) to the extent required for the provision of such Service to be in compliance with applicable Law; provided, however, that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 2.02(e) or in Exhibit A hereto, any such changes may not decrease the scope, Service Period, nature, quality or level of any such Service or increase the Service Fee for any such Service; provided, further, that if any such changes actually increase the cost of providing such Service, J&J may increase the Service Fee to the extent of such increase in cost. For the avoidance of doubt, if changes in the manner of providing a Service are required for the provision of such Service to be in compliance with applicable Law, the provisions of Section 5.02 shall apply with respect to such Service until and unless J&J effects such changes.

SECTION 2.03. Additional Terms of Services; Inventory. (a) Local Services Agreements. The provision of Services in all applicable jurisdictions will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. To the extent required by applicable Law or as otherwise deemed necessary by the parties hereto, the provision of the Services in any applicable region or country will be effected pursuant to an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F with only such changes as are necessitated by local Law or the operations of any local Affiliate of J&J or Kenvue (each, a “Local Services Agreement”). The parties shall enter (or shall cause their respective designated Affiliates to enter) into any required Local Services Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement.

(b) Inventory; Risk of Loss. To the extent that Inventory owned by Kenvue in a particular country after giving effect to the Separation, pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, is applicable to the provision of any Service, such Inventory shall remain with and in the possession of J&J or one or more of its Affiliates or Service Providers to the extent reasonably necessary for the performance of the Services. From the date of this Agreement, Kenvue shall be responsible for arranging insurance, including property insurance, with respect to such Inventory in the possession of J&J (or any of its Affiliates or Service Providers). Any such insurance shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of J&J. Kenvue, for itself and its insurers, waives any right of recourse or subrogation against J&J. Unless attributable to the willful misconduct or gross negligence of J&J or any of its Affiliates or Service Providers, the risk of loss of any such Inventory will be for the account of Kenvue and Kenvue shall be financially responsible for the processing and disposition of damaged or unsaleable Inventory.

SECTION 2.04 Transition Committee; Lead Coordinators. J&J and Kenvue shall establish and maintain a committee to oversee, manage and coordinate the provision of Services pursuant to this Agreement (the “Transition Committee”). The Transition Committee shall be comprised of representatives from each of J&J and Kenvue with the requisite skills, knowledge and experience to perform such tasks, including (i) a lead coordinator from each party to act as the primary contact person with respect to all issues relating to the provision of Services pursuant to this Agreement (such persons, the “Lead Coordinators”) and (ii) such other representatives from each party as may be designated by such party’s Lead Coordinator. The Transition Committee shall hold review meetings by telephone, video conference or in person, as mutually agreed upon by the Lead Coordinators, approximately once per month to discuss matters related to this Agreement, including (i) any issues relating to the provision of the Services, (ii) to the extent Service changes are to be implemented, the implementation of such changes and (iii) any measures to be taken to provide that the employees of the parties responsible for providing the Services in accordance with Section 2.05 or enabling the Transition in accordance with Section 2.08 view such responsibilities as a required part of their job functions. The names and contact information of each party’s initial Lead Coordinator are set forth in Exhibit G. Each party may replace its appointed Lead Coordinator or other Transition Committee representatives at any time upon written notice to the other party. Each party’s Lead Coordinator may, by written notice to his or her counterpart hereunder, appoint one or more subordinate representatives for the responsibility of individual Services and delegate such Lead Coordinator’s authority under this Agreement to such delegated individual(s). No such Lead Coordinator or delegate shall have the authority to amend this Agreement or any exhibit attached hereto in any respect.

SECTION 2.05. Performance Standard. J&J shall perform, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates or Service Providers to perform, the Services in compliance with applicable Laws, in a professional and workmanlike manner and at a quality level and in a manner consistent with that provided to the Kenvue Business during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Separation.

SECTION 2.06. Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.05, J&J MAKES NO IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY CONCERNING THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND J&J, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES.

SECTION 2.07. Consents. J&J and Kenvue shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain any third party consents, approvals, licenses or authorizations that the parties mutually agree are required for the provision of any Service (each, a “Consent”); provided, that neither J&J nor Kenvue shall be obligated to incur any out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses to obtain any such Consent; provided, further, that if any out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses must be incurred in order to obtain a Consent, and Kenvue wishes that such Consent be obtained, such fees, costs and expenses shall be borne by Kenvue. If any such consent, approval, license or authorization is not obtained promptly after the date of this Agreement and the absence thereof shall prevent or limit J&J or any of its Affiliates or Service Providers in providing or arranging for any Service, then, in any such event J&J shall not be required to provide (or arrange for the provision of), and Kenvue shall not be required to pay for, the relevant Services to the extent so limited, restricted or regulated. J&J shall give Kenvue prompt notice of any such event, and thereafter the parties shall cooperate in good faith to minimize any adverse consequences to Kenvue (and its Affiliates) resulting therefrom, including by seeking alternative arrangements for the provision of such Service. J&J shall perform such mutually satisfactory alternative arrangement and Kenvue shall bear any additional costs and expenses incurred in the performance of such alternative arrangement.

SECTION 2.08. Exit Plans; Transition. (a) Exit Plans. J&J and Kenvue have prepared select preliminary exit plans, attached as Exhibit H hereto, to Transition each Service described therein. J&J and Kenvue shall cooperate in good faith to finalize such preliminary exit plans and to develop any additional exit plans necessary to complete the Transition of each Service, in each case within 60 days following the Separation Date (such exit plans, the “Exit Plans”). The Exit Plans shall include details of any projects required to complete the Transition of each Service, including the parameters, timelines and responsibilities of each party in connection therewith.

(b) Transition. J&J and Kenvue shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (and, with respect to J&J, shall cause its Service Providers) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to exit, transition, migrate and integrate each Service as reasonably required to allow Kenvue to operate the business processes that form part of each such Service on a standalone basis (“Transition”) as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof and, in any event, prior to the end of the relevant Service Period, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to implement the Exit Plans. Kenvue shall use commercially reasonable efforts to establish its own functions (including IT systems) to enable timely Transition; provided, that if Kenvue requests J&J’s assistance therewith, J&J shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such assistance pursuant to the terms of a statement of work, to be negotiated in good faith between Kenvue and J&J, setting forth the scope of the work to be performed by J&J and the amounts payable by Kenvue with respect thereto. J&J and Kenvue shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (and, with respect to J&J, shall cause its Service Providers) to, provide to the other such documentation, information and assistance as reasonably required to enable the other to complete its responsibilities with respect to the Transition of the Services in accordance with the applicable Exit Plans.

SECTION 2.09. Quality Agreement. J&J and Kenvue shall, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, enter into a quality agreement in the form attached as Exhibit I hereto. In the event there is a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any provision of such quality agreement, this Agreement shall control; provided that, with respect to any such conflict with respect to the allocation of quality responsibilities relating to Products, such quality agreement shall control.

ARTICLE III

Term; Fees

SECTION 3.01. Service Term; Extensions. The term of provision of each Service shall begin on the Separation Date and continue for the period set forth in Exhibit A (for each Service, as may be extended pursuant to this Section 3.01, the “Service Period”), and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including on Exhibit A), shall not extend beyond the applicable Service Period Deadline. If, notwithstanding Kenvue’s compliance with Section 2.08, Kenvue reasonably determines that it will require a Service to continue beyond the end of the applicable Service Period (or a subsequent extension period) in order to complete the Transition of such Service without business interruption, Kenvue may request that J&J extend the Service Period for such Service for a desired extension period (each, a “Service Extension”) by written notice to J&J no less than 60 days prior to the end of the then-current Service Period (unless a different notice period is expressly set forth with respect to such Service in Exhibit A hereto). J&J shall respond to any such request for a Service Extension within 15 days of receipt and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to grant such Service Extension request; provided, that (i) J&J shall not be required to grant any Service Extension that would result in a Service Period extending beyond the Service Period Deadline and (ii) J&J shall be required to grant any Service Extension that is expressly contemplated with respect to an applicable Service in Exhibit A hereto and that does not extend beyond the Service Period Deadline. If a Service Extension is so granted with respect to a Service, the applicable Service Fee for such Service during the period of the Service

Extension shall be increased by a surcharge of 10%, unless a different amount is expressly set forth with respect to such Service Extension in Exhibit A hereto.

SECTION 3.02. Termination.

(a) Termination for Breach. If any party hereto materially breaches any of its respective obligations under this Agreement, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Service or Services to which such obligations apply, so long as (i) the non-breaching party shall have delivered written notice of such breach to the breaching party, (ii) the periods for resolution of any Dispute relating to such breach set forth in Section 11.05(b) herein and in Sections 11.02(b) and 11.02(c) of the Separation Agreement shall have expired and (iii) such breach shall not have been cured within 30 days following the end of such periods. The termination of this Agreement with respect to any Service pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) shall not affect the parties’ rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to any other Service.

(b) Early Termination of Services. Except as otherwise agreed to by the parties, Kenvue may terminate any Service, in whole but not in part (it being understood that the termination of any Service will also result in the termination of those Services that have the same “Group Identification” as such Service as set forth on Exhibit A). Kenvue must provide J&J with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of such early termination (unless a different notice period is expressly set forth with respect to such Service on Exhibit A hereto), which shall become effective on the last day of the Service Month (as defined by the Johnson & Johnson Universal Calendar for the applicable year, the “Service Month”) in which such 60 day prior written notice period concludes. A copy of the Johnson & Johnson Universal Calendar for each of years 2023, 2024 and 2025 is attached hereto as Exhibit J.

(c) Partial Termination of Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.02(b), Kenvue may partially terminate certain Services in accordance with the partial termination rules set forth with respect to such Services on Exhibit K. Kenvue must provide J&J with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of such partial termination (unless a different notice period is expressly set forth with respect to the terminating Service on Exhibit K hereto), which shall become effective on the last day of the Service Month in which such 60 day prior written notice period concludes. Upon the partial termination of any Service, the applicable Service Fee for such Service shall be adjusted in accordance with, and to the extent set forth in, the partial termination rules set forth with respect to such Service on Exhibit K.

(d) Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to any Service, each party hereto shall remain liable for all of their respective obligations that accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination, including all obligations of Kenvue to pay any Service Fees accrued and payable to J&J hereunder.

SECTION 3.03. Service Fees. The monthly fee for providing each Service shall be as set forth in Exhibit A (each such fee, a “Service Fee”), subject to any increase pursuant to Section 2.02, Section 3.01 and this Section 3.03. All Service Fees shall be exclusive of shipping costs, customs duties, any applicable VAT (which VAT shall be paid in accordance with Article IV). Kenvue shall also bear all reasonable and documented one-time costs and expenses, if any, incurred following the Separation Closing by J&J, its Affiliates and Service Providers in order to enable the provision of each Service (“One-Time Costs”). At the beginning of each of J&J’s fiscal years, the Service Fee for each Service shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms set forth on Exhibit L. If at any time J&J believes that the Service Fee for a specific Service on Exhibit A is materially insufficient to compensate it (or the applicable member of the J&J Group) for the cost of providing such Service, or Kenvue believes that the Service Fee for a specific Service on Exhibit A materially overcompensates J&J (or the applicable

member of the J&J Group) for such Service, such party shall promptly notify the other party, and the parties will commence good faith negotiations toward an agreement in writing as to the appropriate course of action with respect to the Service Fee for such Service for future periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Service Fee set forth on Exhibit A that is expressly and solely attributable to a Deferred Market shall be due in respect of any period prior to the transfer of the Deferred Kenvue Local Business with respect to such Deferred Market to Kenvue (or, if earlier, the consolidation of such Deferred Kenvue Local Business with Kenvue under GAAP).

ARTICLE IV

Invoices; Taxes; Payment

SECTION 4.01. Invoices. J&J shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates or Service Providers to, submit invoice(s) for monthly Service Fees on a quarterly basis, which such invoice(s) shall, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, (a) be issued by the applicable legal entities with respect to the applicable jurisdictions and Services as set forth on Exhibit M, (b) set forth the total net charges for such invoiced Services for the applicable quarter (including any One-Time Costs), (c) be in the local currency of the jurisdiction of the applicable legal entity submitting such invoice(s) and (d) comply with the requirements of the tax laws (including VAT) of such jurisdiction. Any payment for Services will be due within 45 days after receipt of the invoice. Any payment not received by J&J or its applicable Affiliate or Service Provider by such date and not otherwise the subject of a good faith dispute shall be subject to a late payment interest charge using the 1-month term secured overnight financing rate (Term SOFR), determined as of such date, plus 0.5%; provided that in the event of any good faith dispute, interest shall not be due on that part of the invoice subject to dispute until after settlement or other resolution of such dispute; provided that a resolution in favor of Kenvue shall not result in the incurrence of any late-payment interest charges. Neither party may offset any other amount due to it or any of its Affiliates against any payment due under this Agreement.

SECTION 4.02. Taxes. (a) Subject to Section 4.02(c), Kenvue shall be responsible for all goods and services, value added, sales, use, gross receipts, business, consumption and other similar taxes, levies and charges (other than income taxes and together with any interest, penalties and additions to tax) (“Sales Taxes”) imposed by applicable Taxing Authorities attributable to the supply of Services to Kenvue, performance of Services by any Service Provider or any payment for Services hereunder, whether or not such Sales Taxes are shown on any invoice; provided that J&J shall be responsible for any tax-related interest and penalties or additions attributable to a failure by J&J to comply with applicable Law. If J&J or any of its Affiliates or Service Providers is required to pay any part of such Sales Taxes (other than tax-related interest, penalties and additions to tax attributable to a failure by J&J to comply with applicable Law), Kenvue shall reimburse J&J or the applicable Affiliate or Service Provider for such paid Sales Taxes.

(b) Where legally applicable and required, subject to Section 4.02(c), all invoices to be issued in accordance with the supply of Services by J&J or its Affiliates or Service Providers, as applicable, to Kenvue or its designated Affiliates hereunder shall be subject to value added tax or its equivalent in each relevant jurisdiction (“VAT”). Therefore, whenever a Service provided hereunder is subject to local VAT in the jurisdiction with respect to the country where such Service is provided, an invoice will be issued charging local VAT.

(c) Cross border Services to be performed hereunder may fall within Article 44 of the EU VAT Directive or the relevant equivalent national provision, which means that J&J or its applicable Affiliate or Service Provider does not need to charge VAT on the invoices for such Services, provided Kenvue provides J&J or its applicable Affiliate or Service Provider with Kenvue’s valid VAT registration number, certificate or equivalent documentation. In such case, Kenvue hereby agrees that with respect to

each country, Kenvue will itself account for VAT in its own jurisdiction on the performance of such cross border Services made to it hereunder. In order for J&J or its applicable Affiliates or Service Providers to be able to issue invoices without local VAT, Kenvue agrees that with respect to each country, Kenvue will provide to J&J or the invoicing Affiliate or Service Provider hereto a valid VAT registration number, certificate or equivalent documentation in the jurisdiction with respect to the country of receipt of such Services within a reasonable period of time before the date on which the relevant invoice is required to be issued under applicable Law.

SECTION 4.03. Subsequent Application of VAT.

MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS; EQUIPMENT

2.01 Manufacture of Products. During the Manufacturing Term, J&J shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates or Third Party Manufacturers to, Manufacture, supply and deliver the Products to Kenvue (the “Manufacturing Services”), and Kenvue shall pay J&J for the Manufacturing Services for the Products, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. J&J shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates or Third Party Manufacturers to, perform the Manufacturing Services in the ordinary course of business and in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Kenvue Business. The Manufacturing Services for each Product shall be provided at the Facility identified in respect of such Product on Schedule B; provided that J&J may, upon reasonable prior written notice to Kenvue and at J&J’s sole cost and expense, relocate the Manufacturing Services for any Product to an alternative J&J facility if such relocation would not (x) result in any increases in the Price of any Product, (y) reasonably be expected to result in any material changes to J&J’s ability to satisfy its obligations hereunder or (z) reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of the Parties to maintain or obtain applicable Regulatory Authorizations or comply with the terms of the Quality Agreement; provided, further, that any immaterial changes to the terms hereof that are necessary in connection with any such relocation shall be negotiated in good faith and agreed upon between the Parties.

2.02 Raw Materials.

(a) In connection with the Manufacturing Services hereunder, during the Manufacturing Term, J&J or its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) acquire, at their sole cost and expense, all Raw Materials required for the Manufacture, supply and delivery of the Products by J&J or its Affiliates as contemplated hereby from approved suppliers set forth on Schedule C and (ii) maintain Inventories of Raw Materials at each Facility in such quantities as the Parties may mutually agree pursuant to the Supply Reviews, which quantities shall initially be consistent with the past practice of the Kenvue Business in the ordinary course of business.

Kenvue acknowledges and agrees that in order for J&J to meet its obligation to supply Products under this Agreement, J&J or its Affiliates must order Raw Materials in accordance with defined lead times and minimum order quantities imposed by approved suppliers of Raw Materials and J&J may order Raw Materials to meet its expected requirements based on the most recent Rolling Forecast in accordance with, and subject to, (i) the longer of such defined lead times or the binding portion of each Rolling Forecast and (ii) such minimum order quantities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 2.02(c), Section 2.05 and Article 5, (x) in the event of any issues with respect to the supply of any Raw Materials used for the manufacture and delivery of Products, including delays in delivery of Raw Materials, deliveries of Raw Materials that do not conform to applicable specifications or known or reasonably expected shortages or unavailability of Raw Materials, (1) J&J and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent or mitigate any such supply issues with respect to the applicable Raw Materials, including using commercially reasonable efforts to implement as soon as reasonably practicable any applicable Existing BCP, (2) J&J shall promptly notify Kenvue of any supply issues that are not promptly resolved pursuant to the preceding clause (1), and (3) without limiting the Parties’ respective roles and responsibilities set forth in Section 2.02(c), each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in connection with resolving any issues with respect to the supply of any Raw Materials, including any performance or operational issues with suppliers of Raw Materials, as soon as reasonably practicable and (y) in the event that any Raw Materials used for the manufacture of a Product are or become unavailable, subject to the preceding clause (x), neither J&J nor any of its Affiliates shall be (1) responsible for procuring replacements or substitutes for such Raw Materials which J&J and its Affiliates are not able to procure using commercially reasonable efforts or (2) liable for any incremental costs associated with the procurement of any such replacements or substitutes for such Raw Materials.

(b) J&J shall be liable for excess or obsolete Raw Materials if such excess or obsolescence is caused by orders of Raw Materials that were not in accordance with applicable lead times pursuant to this Section 2.02. Kenvue shall have no liability for excess or obsolete Raw Materials purchased by J&J unless the excess or obsolescence (i) is caused by a change to, or cancellation of, a Binding Purchase Order or the binding portion of a Rolling Forecast, (ii) is in connection with Raw Materials ordered in accordance with applicable lead times pursuant to this Section 2.02 or (iii) is caused by a change to the Specifications of a Product that was approved in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, J&J shall not be liable for any actions taken by J&J or its Affiliates in connection with acquiring or ordering Raw Materials or the management of suppliers of Raw Materials at the direction of Kenvue, including any excess or obsolete Raw Materials resulting therefrom. J&J will promptly invoice Kenvue for any amounts due by Kenvue to J&J pursuant to this Section 2.02(b). Any such invoice shall be issued and paid in accordance with Section 3.01(f).

(c) Kenvue and J&J each agrees to comply with the following roles and responsibilities with respect to transacting with, and management of, approved suppliers of Raw Materials:

(i) With respect to all suppliers of Raw Materials, J&J shall be responsible for managing ordinary course logistics and operations matters with respect to all approved suppliers of Raw Materials, including using commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any ordinary course performance or operational issues;

(ii) With respect to suppliers of Raw Materials designated as “J&J pure buy” on Schedule C, J&J shall also be responsible for (x) managing contractual matters with such supplier, (y) using commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any performance or operational issues arising outside of the ordinary course and (z) in the case of any such suppliers under purchase orders only or with which there is no contract or agreement, using commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any performance or operational issues;

(iii) With respect to suppliers of Raw Materials designated as “Kenvue-directed buy” on Schedule C, Kenvue shall be responsible for (x) managing contractual matters with such supplier and (y) resolving any performance or operational issues arising outside of the ordinary course (for the avoidance of doubt, in each case, including any purchase orders pursuant to a contract or agreement between Kenvue and such suppliers);

(iv) With respect to all suppliers of Raw Materials, each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in connection with resolving any performance or operational issues related to suppliers of Raw Materials as soon as reasonably practicable and, except as set forth in any Existing BCP, Kenvue shall be responsible for the establishment of any alternative suppliers of Raw Materials; and

(v) If and to the extent that, as of the Effective Date, J&J is a party to a contract or agreement with a supplier designated as “J&J pure buy” on Schedule C, (x) J&J shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such existing contract or agreement (including by any extensions or renewals thereof) during any relevant Product Term until such time as Kenvue has entered into a contract or agreement with such supplier; provided that if J&J determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such existing contract or agreement cannot reasonably be maintained, extended or renewed by J&J on comparable terms, as applicable, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to address the continued supply of applicable Raw Materials as promptly as practicable, including by establishing an alternative supplier if mutually agreed; and (y) Kenvue shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and enter into an agreement or contract for the supply of Raw Materials by such supplier or an alternative supplier thereto as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date. Any incremental costs incurred by J&J under an extension or renewal of such an existing contract or in connection with effecting such extension or renewal and any costs of establishing any alternative supplier of Raw Materials shall be borne by Kenvue; provided that, with respect to (1) the extension or renewal of any contract or agreement or (2) the establishment of any alternative supplier of Raw Materials, in each case, that will be used to supply Raw Materials for both Products and the manufacture of products for J&J’s other customers and representatives (including the J&J Business), the incremental costs of such extension or renewal or costs of establishing such alternative supplier, as applicable, shall be allocated as mutually agreed by the Parties. The Parties will review and update Schedule C as the Parties may mutually agree in the Supply Reviews.

(d) Except where J&J has failed to place orders permitted under the applicable supply agreements for sufficient Raw Materials from approved suppliers in accordance with the binding portion of applicable Forecasts and the defined lead times imposed by such suppliers, J&J and its Affiliates shall have no liability for any delays in Manufacturing Services or the delivery

of Product attributable to (x) delays in the delivery of Raw Materials or (y) the delivery of Raw Materials that do not conform to applicable specifications, in each case, by the suppliers thereof. In the event of any such delayed or non-conforming delivery, J&J shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any delays in Manufacturing Services or delivery of Product resulting from such delayed or non-conforming delivery of Raw Materials. In the event that J&J is party to an agreement with the applicable supplier and Kenvue incurs Damages in connection with or as a result of such delayed or non-conforming delivery, Kenvue shall have the right of subrogation and J&J shall, at Kenvue’s cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as Kenvue may reasonably request to facilitate a claim against such supplier for such Damages. For the avoidance of doubt, purchase orders pursuant to a contract or agreement between Kenvue and the applicable supplier of Raw Materials shall not constitute a separate agreement between J&J and such supplier and Kenvue shall pursue any claims against such supplier directly pursuant to such contract or agreement; provided that J&J shall, at Kenvue’s cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as reasonably necessary to facilitate a claim against such supplier for Damages arising in connection with such purchase order.

(e) In the event that J&J is unable to meet, or anticipates it will be unable to meet, in whole or in part, the required product quantities for Kenvue, as set forth in any Forecast, and J&J’s other customers and representatives (including of the J&J Business) as a result of a shortage of any Raw Materials, J&J shall promptly notify Kenvue of such inability, its cause, its expected duration and any proposed remedial measures, and J&J shall allocate Raw Materials as follows:

(i) first, pro rata to the production of Lifesaving or Life Prolonging Products for Kenvue and J&J’s other customers and representatives (including of the J&J Business); and

(ii) second, pro rata to the production of products (including Products) other than Lifesaving or Life Prolonging Products for Kenvue and J&J’s other customers and representatives (including of the J&J Business);

provided that the Parties shall determine in good faith and mutually agree upon such pro rata allocation based on the quantity of each such product (x) produced by J&J in the preceding twelve (12) calendar months and (y) forecasted by the most recent Rolling Forecast and then-applicable forecasts of J&J’s other customers and representatives (including of the J&J Business).

2.03 Manufacturing Assets.

(a) During the Manufacturing Term, Kenvue and its Affiliates will (i) allow Kenvue Assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, machinery, molds, tools and other equipment) to remain at the Facilities to the extent such Kenvue Assets are necessary for J&J and its Affiliates to perform Manufacturing Services for the Products and (ii) permit J&J and its Affiliates to use such Kenvue Assets to Manufacture the Products for delivery to Kenvue and to provide reasonable support for the operations of J&J and its Affiliates (such Kenvue Assets described in clause (i) and (ii), including as set forth on Schedule F, collectively, “Transitional Manufacturing Assets”). Title and the risk of loss and damage to the Transitional Manufacturing Assets will at all times reside with Kenvue or its Affiliates, as applicable, except to the extent any

such loss arises in connection with the fraud, intentional misconduct or gross negligence of J&J (or an Affiliate or third party service provider of J&J). J&J shall bear the risk of utilizing any Transitional Manufacturing Assets and the Parties acknowledge and agree that J&J’s use thereof shall constitute an acknowledgment by J&J that it has evaluated or assessed such Transitional Manufacturing Assets and determined them to be in good working order and in compliance with applicable safety Laws, and that J&J shall not bring any claim against Kenvue related to J&J’s use of such Transitional Manufacturing Assets.

(b) During the Manufacturing Term, J&J will conduct both routine service and standard preventative maintenance (e.g., calibration) and non-routine service and maintenance of Transitional Manufacturing Assets relating to such Products as necessary to keep them in good working order and in compliance with applicable safety Laws in a manner consistent with J&J’s management and maintenance of its own assets and its past practice in the ordinary course of business. In the event that, during the Manufacturing Term, (i) any Transitional Manufacturing Asset requires replacement or (ii) any additional machinery, tools and other equipment are required (x) solely for J&J to fulfill its obligations to Manufacture Products or (y) which asset the Parties shall have mutually determined shall constitute a Kenvue Asset following the acquisition thereof (notwithstanding the use of such asset both for J&J to fulfill its obligations to Manufacture Products and for the manufacture of products to be supplied to J&J or its Affiliates), in each case, whether pursuant to Article 5 or otherwise, J&J shall so notify Kenvue and the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to determine a mutually acceptable means of acquiring or replacing such asset at Kenvue’s cost and expense (including with respect to any operation expenses related thereto); provided that if such asset is subject to clause (ii)(y) of this sentence, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to determine a mutually acceptable allocation among the Parties of the costs and expenses (including depreciation) of any such acquisition or replacement of such asset during the Manufacturing Term and any operation expenses related thereto; provided, further, that if the Parties mutually agree not to acquire or replace such asset then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and mutually agree upon necessary amendments, if any, to Specifications, Manufacturing Services, the Tech Transfer Plan or any other terms hereunder as a result thereof (including, if necessary, termination of any applicable Product Term) and the allocation of any costs resulting therefrom. Any such acquired or replacement assets shall be deemed to constitute Transitional Manufacturing Assets under this Agreement and Schedule F shall be updated by the Parties to include such acquired or replacement assets.

(c) Following the Manufacturing Term, Kenvue shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove all Transitional Manufacturing Assets from the Facilities within six (6) months, and in any event as promptly as reasonably practicable, thereafter. Kenvue shall be responsible for all actions reasonably necessary for removal of the Transitional Manufacturing Assets, including disassembly, packaging and transportation thereof, and Kenvue shall bear all costs related thereto; provided that J&J and its Affiliates will provide commercially reasonable assistance to Kenvue in removing Transitional Manufacturing Assets from the Facilities following the Manufacturing Term.

(d) In the event that, during the Manufacturing Term, (i) any J&J Assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, machinery, molds, tools and other equipment) used in, and required for, the Manufacture of a Product requires replacement or modification or (ii) any

additional machinery, tools or other equipment are required for J&J to fulfill its obligations to Manufacture Products, which asset will also be used for the manufacture of products to be supplied to J&J or its Affiliates, J&J shall so notify Kenvue and, subject to Section 2.03(b) in the event that the Parties mutually agree such asset shall constitute a Kenvue Asset, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to determine a mutually acceptable means of (x) acquiring, replacing or modifying such asset, (y) arranging for any such acquisition, replacement or modification and (z) allocating the costs and expenses (including depreciation) related thereto during the Manufacturing Term; provided that if the Parties mutually agree not to acquire or replace such asset then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and mutually agree upon necessary amendments, if any, to Specifications, Manufacturing Services, the Tech Transfer Plan or any other terms hereunder as a result thereof (including, if necessary, termination of any applicable Product Term) and the allocation of any costs resulting therefrom; provided, however, that if such acquisition, replacement or modification is required pursuant to applicable Law or in response to the order of a Governmental Authority, J&J will effect such acquisition, replacement or modification and allocate the costs and expenses (including depreciation) related thereto during the Manufacturing Term among the Parties (provided that J&J will only apportion such costs and expenses to Kenvue to the extent related to the Products to be supplied to Kenvue, based on the capacity utilization and the time of depreciation of the related investment). For the avoidance of doubt, title and the risk of loss and damage to any such assets will at all times reside with J&J or its Affiliates.

2.04 Access.

(a) During the Manufacturing Term, J&J shall grant Kenvue and its representatives reasonable access during regular business hours to those areas of the Facilities in which the Products are Manufactured or Products and Raw Materials are stored, and to all records and documents related to the Manufacturing Services (including analytical records, validation data and other records required under applicable Law or the Quality Agreement), (i) upon at least twenty (20) Business Days prior written notice, for the purpose of inspecting, auditing and confirming that the Products are being Manufactured in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Quality Agreement and the Specifications and (ii) at such times and dates as the Parties shall mutually agree from time to time, for the purpose of performing technical visits which are not related to audits or to facilitate transitioning of the Manufacturing Services for such Products to Kenvue’s internal organization (or to third-party sources designated by Kenvue); provided that such inspections, verifications and witnessing activities (x) in the case of clause (i), shall not be conducted more than once per calendar year and access shall be limited to two individuals on behalf of Kenvue and its representatives and (y) in each case, shall not unduly interfere with the normal business operations of J&J or its Affiliates; provided, further, that such records and documents related to the Manufacturing Services may be redacted (A) as necessary to protect legal privilege and (B) with respect to information that does not specifically pertain to this Agreement, the Products or the Manufacturing Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no limit shall apply pursuant to clause (i) with respect to the number of For Cause Audits (as defined in the Quality Agreement) that may be conducted per calendar year.

(b) Following J&J’s receipt of a written report from Kenvue outlining its findings and observations, including any deficiencies identified that could, in Kenvue’s reasonable opinion, prevent J&J from satisfying J&J’s obligations hereunder, from any audit pursuant to

Section 2.04(a)(i) (a “Manufacturing Audit Report”), J&J will prepare and deliver to Kenvue a corrective action plan within the applicable number of days set forth in such Manufacturing Audit Report (not to exceed 30 calendar days) with respect to the applicable findings and observations. For the avoidance of doubt, findings and observations classified as “critical” by Kenvue in a Manufacturing Audit Report will require J&J to deliver a corrective action plan on an expedited timeline as set forth in the applicable Manufacturing Audit Report. J&J shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) effect any corrective action plans delivered pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) to correct such deficiencies as promptly as reasonably practicable and (ii) prevent or mitigate any delays in Manufacturing Services or the delivery of Product attributable to such deficiencies, in each case, at its own cost and shall promptly notify Kenvue when such deficiencies are corrected.

2.05 Business Continuity.

(a) J&J agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain each existing business continuity plan set forth on Schedule G (each, an “Existing BCP”) designed to minimize or eliminate interruption in manufacturing operations in the event of a business interruption at a Facility and/or at a facility of a third party service provider, Third Party Manufacturer or supplier of Raw Materials; provided that the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to determine mutually acceptable means of maintaining any Existing BCP, including the allocation of any costs resulting therefrom. J&J shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) implement any applicable Existing BCP and continue production as soon as reasonably practicable following a disruption and (ii) prevent or mitigate any delays in Manufacturing Services or the delivery of Product attributable thereto and the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to align on an expeditious resolution of any issues related to such disruption.

(b) Kenvue shall be responsible for, and J&J agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and provide reasonable support to Kenvue in, establishing and maintaining any new or replacement business continuity plan that Kenvue determines is reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Manufacture of Products pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “New BCP” and, together with the Existing BCPs, the “BCPs”), which New BCP shall clearly define a process to minimize or eliminate interruption in manufacturing operations in the event of a business interruption at a Facility and/or at a facility of a third party service provider, Third Party Manufacturer or supplier of Raw Materials. Kenvue shall be responsible for any incremental costs and expenses incurred by J&J in supporting the establishment and maintenance of such New BCP and J&J shall not, unless mutually agreed (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), be obligated to take any actions that are not consistent with applicable J&J policies and procedures and its past practice in the ordinary course with respect to the Manufacturing Services covered by such New BCP. J&J acknowledges that (a) any New BCP established pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall document a consistent process for evaluating business continuity risk, self-assessing risk mitigation procedure and prioritizing risks and mitigation activities at such facilities and (b) the goal of each New BCP shall be to quickly restore supply of Product following a disruption. Schedule G shall be updated by the Parties to identify any New BCP established by Kenvue pursuant to this Section 2.05(b).

2.06 Third Party Manufacturers.

(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that J&J has used, and expects to continue to use, one or more Third Party Manufacturer(s) to Manufacture finished, sellable Products under this Agreement (such finished Products, “Third Party Manufactured Products”) and Kenvue hereby consents to the use of the Third Party Manufacturers set forth on Schedule E; provided that the selection of any such Third Party Manufacturer that does not Manufacture the applicable Products for or on behalf of the Kenvue Business as of immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be subject to Kenvue’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) J&J shall order Third Party Manufactured Products to meet Kenvue’s expected requirements based on the most recent Rolling Forecast; provided that Kenvue acknowledges and agrees that in order for J&J to meet its obligation to supply Products under this Agreement, J&J must order Third Party Manufactured Products from Third Party Manufacturers in accordance with defined lead times, minimum order quantities and other applicable terms imposed by such approved Third Party Manufacturers and J&J may order Third Party Manufactured Products to meet the most recent Rolling Forecast in accordance with, and subject to, (i) the longer of such defined lead times or the binding portion of each Rolling Forecast and (ii) such minimum order quantities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 2.05, Section 2.06(c), Section 2.06(e) and Section 5.02, (x) in the event of any issues with respect to the supply of any Third Party Manufactured Products by Third Party Manufacturers, including delays in delivery of Third Party Manufactured Products, deliveries of Third Party Manufactured Products that do not conform to applicable specifications or known or reasonably expected shortages or unavailability of Third Party Manufactured Products, (1) J&J and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent or mitigate any such supply issues with respect to the applicable Third Party Manufactured Products, including using commercially reasonable efforts to implement any applicable Existing BCP as soon as reasonably practicable, (2) J&J shall promptly notify Kenvue of any supply issues that are not promptly resolved pursuant to the preceding clause (1), and (3) each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in connection with resolving any issues with respect to the supply of any Third Party Manufactured Products as soon as reasonably practicable and (y) in the event any Third Party Manufactured Products are or become unavailable, subject to the preceding clause (x), neither J&J nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for procuring replacements or substitutes for such Third Party Manufactured Products which J&J and its Affiliates are not able to procure using commercially reasonable efforts.

(c) Subject to Section 2.06(e), J&J shall be responsible for (i) managing ordinary course logistics and operations matters with respect to all Third Party Manufacturers, including using commercial reasonable efforts to resolve any performance or operational issues arising in the ordinary course, (ii) managing contractual matters with such Third Party Manufacturer and (iii) using commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any performance or operational issues arising outside of the ordinary course; provided that each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in connection with resolving any performance or operational issues related to Third Party Manufacturers as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, further, that Kenvue shall be responsible for the establishment of any alternative Third Party Manufacturers. The costs of establishing any alternative supplier of Third Party Manufactured Products shall be borne by Kenvue. If and to the extent that, as of the Effective Date, J&J or Kenvue is a party to a contract or agreement with a Third Party Manufacturer, the applicable Party shall use

commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such existing contract or agreement (including by any extensions or renewals thereof) during any relevant Product Term; provided that if any extension or renewal of a contract or agreement to which J&J is a party requires a term expiring after the then-applicable Product Term for any applicable Third Party Manufactured Product, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to determine which Party shall enter into such extension or renewal, or any alternative arrangement, with the applicable Third Party Manufacturer. The Parties will review and update Schedule E as the Parties may mutually agree in the Supply Reviews.

(d) Except where J&J has failed to place orders for sufficient Third Party Manufactured Products from approved Third Party Manufacturers in accordance with the binding portion of applicable Forecasts, defined lead times and other terms imposed by such Third Party Manufacturers, J&J and its Affiliates shall have no liability for any delays in Manufacturing Services or the delivery of Product attributable to (x) delays in the delivery of Third Party Manufactured Products or (y) the delivery of Third Party Manufactured Products that do not conform to applicable specifications, in each case, by the Third Party Manufacturers of such Third Party Manufactured Products.

ARTICLE 3

PRICES FOR PRODUCTS

3.01 Prices and Payment Terms; Invoices.

(a) The initial Prices for the Manufacturing Services for each Product shall be determined based on J&J’s Actual Cost plus a reasonable mark-up and shall be as set forth on Schedule B. For purposes of this Agreement, “Actual Cost” means, with respect to a Product, the cost of Raw Materials, fees of third party manufacturers incurred by J&J, J&J’s conversion costs and allocated overhead, in each case, in connection with the Manufacture of such Product.

(b) At the beginning of each calendar year during the Manufacturing Term (starting with the first full calendar year after the commencement of such Manufacturing Term), the Price for each Product shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, to reflect changes in the cost of Raw Materials, Third Party Manufactured Products, fees of third party manufacturers incurred by J&J and J&J’s conversion costs related to labor or energy used in the Manufacture of such Product; provided that J&J will, in good faith and consistent with its past practice in the ordinary course of business with respect to such Products, seek to minimize increases in costs. For the avoidance of doubt, changes in the cost of Raw Materials, Third Party Manufactured Products or fees of third party manufacturers during any calendar year shall only result in changes in Price (x) at the beginning of the subsequent calendar year pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.01(b) or (y) in connection with a Product Term Extension pursuant to Section 3.01(c) and changes in Price shall not otherwise be effected during such calendar year to take into account such changes in cost or fees; provided, however, that such changes in cost or fees shall be subject to reconciliation annually in accordance with Section 3.04.

(c) Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule B, with respect to each Product with an initial Product Term of less than sixty (60) months, in the event of an initial Product Term Extension thereof, the Price for such Product shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, for such first Product Term Extension solely to reflect changes in the cost of Raw Materials, Third Party Manufactured Products, fees of third party manufacturers incurred by J&J and J&J’s conversion costs related to labor or energy used in the Manufacture of such Product. In the event of any other Product Term Extension, J&J shall be entitled to adjust the Price for the applicable Product taking into account changes in the cost of Raw Materials, Third Party Manufactured Products, fees of third party manufacturers incurred by J&J, J&J’s conversion costs related to labor or energy used in the Manufacture of such Product and increases in inefficiencies at the applicable Facility arising or incurred as a result of the Product Term Extension (including increases in fixed or variable overhead costs). Such Price adjustment shall be applicable to any and all orders placed with an agreed delivery date during such Product Term Extension.

(d) J&J shall invoice Kenvue for Products upon delivery of such Products; provided that any delay in issuing any invoice shall not be deemed as a waiver of and will not affect J&J’s rights to receive the amount payable to J&J in such invoice. Invoices shall be issued and paid in accordance with Section 3.01(f).

(e) In the event of a change in the Price of a Product pursuant to Section 3.01(b) or (c), J&J will promptly provide Kenvue with updated information for such Product in accordance with Section 6.01(e). Kenvue may request from J&J documentation of the basis for any such change in Price by written notice (a “Documentation Request”) no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of delivery by J&J of such Product information and J&J shall provide Kenvue with reasonable documentation thereof (which documentation shall be of a type and scope consistent with the information provided for each Product pursuant to Section 6.01(e)) no later

than fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of such Documentation Request. To the extent not subject to a Documentation Request, or if no Documentation Request is timely delivered to J&J, changes in the Price of a Product shall be deemed accepted by Kenvue. Representatives of the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding the basis for or amount of any changes in the Price of a Product which are the subject of a Documentation Request. To the extent that the foregoing discussions do not promptly resolve any such items, Kenvue shall have the right, upon written notice to J&J no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which J&J delivered documentation responsive to the applicable Documentation Request, which notice shall include a written statement (an “Objections Statement”) specifying in reasonable detail the costs related to changes in the Price of a Product to which Kenvue objects, to appoint a third-party auditor acceptable to J&J (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (the “Audit Firm”) to review and audit solely those costs set forth in the Objections Statement. To the extent not set forth in an Objections Statement, or if no Objections Statement is timely delivered to J&J, changes in the Price of a Product subject to a Documentation Request shall be deemed accepted by Kenvue. Any audit by an Audit Firm pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) shall be conducted in a manner that does not disrupt the normal business operations of J&J, and Kenvue shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Audit Firm to complete its audit and review, and to deliver its written report (a “Pricing Audit Report”) regarding the disputed matters to the Parties, as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the Audit Firm’s engagement. Following receipt of the Pricing Audit Report, representatives of the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any remaining disputes regarding those costs set forth in the Objections Statement within thirty (30) calendar days. If the foregoing discussions do not resolve any such items within such period of time, such disputed items shall be resolved in accordance with Section 15.05 of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4

FORECASTS, ORDERS

4.01 Forecasts.

(a) Non-Binding Annual Forecasts. For each Product, no later than the last day of the third calendar quarter of each calendar year during the Manufacturing Term, Kenvue will submit to J&J a non-binding forecast of Kenvue’s anticipated demand of each Product for the subsequent calendar year (each, a “Non-Binding Annual Forecast”). Each Non-Binding Annual Forecast shall be broken down monthly, on a Product-by-Product basis and by SKUs, and shall be in amounts equal to or greater than the applicable Minimum Order Quantity for each Product.

(b) Rolling Forecasts. Notwithstanding the prior delivery of any Non-Binding Annual Forecast, by the first day of each calendar month during the Manufacturing Term, Kenvue will submit to J&J a forecast of Kenvue’s anticipated demand of each Product for the next eighteen (18) consecutive calendar months commencing with the calendar month in which such forecast is delivered and long-term projected volumes for the nineteenth (19th) through thirty-sixth (36th) calendar months based on Kenvue’s most recently provided projections of its long-term demand for Products (each, a “Rolling Forecast”, and any Non-Binding Annual Forecast or Rolling Forecast, a “Forecast”). Each Rolling Forecast shall be broken down monthly, on a Product-by-Product basis and by SKUs, and shall be in amounts equal to or greater than the applicable Minimum Order Quantity for each Product. J&J shall confirm acceptance, reject or otherwise respond to each Rolling Forecast within fourteen (14) calendar days of submission and, upon acceptance thereof, such Rolling Forecast shall supersede all previously accepted Rolling Forecasts. In the event that a Rolling Forecast is rejected by J&J, in whole or in part, J&J shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for and scope of such rejection (including the SKUs subject to such rejection) and, solely to the extent any Rolling Forecast is rejected, the most recently accepted Rolling Forecast shall continue to apply with respect to the SKUs subject to such rejection. The forecasted demand for each API for the first twelve (12) calendar months of an accepted Rolling Forecast will be binding (to the extent not already binding pursuant to a previous Rolling Forecast). The forecasted demand for each other Product for the first three (3) calendar

months of an accepted Rolling Forecast will be binding (to the extent not already binding pursuant to a previous Rolling Forecast) and, with respect to the subsequent nine (9) calendar months of an accepted Rolling Forecast, (i) subject to clause (iii) of this sentence, increases or decreases to the quantity of any Product forecasted for any such calendar month of up to 10% shall be permitted, (ii) in the event of any proposed increases to the quantity of any Product forecasted for any such calendar month in excess of 10%, the Parties shall mutually agree upon any such increases in Supply Reviews, taking into account available capacity at the applicable Facilities and availability of Raw Materials and APIs, and (iii) in the event of any proposed decreases to the quantity of any Product forecasted for any such calendar month (x) in excess of 10% or (y) below any other limitation on forecasted quantity for such Product set forth on Schedule B, J&J shall determine any costs that may be incurred as a result of such proposed decreases and the Parties shall mutually agree upon any such decreases (including with respect to the allocation of any such costs resulting therefrom) in Supply Reviews.

(c) Long-Term Demand Plan. Kenvue will develop and, no later than the last day of the first calendar quarter of each calendar year during the Manufacturing Term, submit to J&J a plan (each, a “Long-Term Demand Plan”) setting forth Kenvue’s good faith projections of its long-term requirements of Products and required capacity for the next eight (8) calendar years and any updates with respect to effecting long-term actions under the Tech Transfer Plan or investments relevant to the Products or the transfer of Manufacture of Products.

4.02 Orders.

(a) Kenvue will, upon acceptance of each Rolling Forecast, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 4.01(b), submit purchase orders for (i) the binding portion of any Forecast and (ii) solely with respect to Third Party Manufactured Products for which the applicable Third Party Manufacturer requires longer defined lead times than the binding portion of such Forecast, the portion of such Forecast equal to such defined lead times (in each case, to the extent not already subject to a purchase order submitted by Kenvue), which purchase order shall (x) be in accordance with the most recently accepted Rolling Forecast, (y) be in amounts equal to or greater than the applicable Minimum Order Quantity for each Product and (z) specify the requested date of delivery; provided that Kenvue shall set forth requested dates of delivery such that no more than one shipment per Facility per month shall be necessary. J&J shall confirm acceptance (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld), reject or otherwise respond to each purchase order within ten (10) Business Days of submission; provided that J&J may reject a purchase order if, and to the extent, such purchase order reflects quantities of Products that differ from the quantities set forth in the most recently accepted Rolling Forecast.

(b) Each Binding Purchase Order, whether printed, stamped, typed or written, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement. Such Binding Purchase Orders are not subject to any adjustment or modification by Kenvue, except by mutual written agreement of Kenvue and J&J.

4.03 Minimum Quantities. J&J may fix a minimum quantity for each Product to be ordered with each order, by SKUs (the “Minimum Order Quantity”), such Minimum Order Quantities to be consistent with the past practice of the Kenvue Business in the ordinary course of business. The Minimum Order Quantity for each Product is set forth on Schedule B; provided that

J&J may, immediately upon written notice, increase any such Minimum Order Quantities for Third Party Manufactured Products if, and to the extent, the applicable Third Party Manufacturer fixes or increases a minimum order quantity which exceeds the then-applicable Minimum Order Quantity.

4.04 Conflicts. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any Binding Purchase Order, purchase order release, confirmation, acceptance or any similar document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

4.05 Returns. Kenvue’s sole and exclusive remedy (if any) for any Nonconforming Product shall be for a refund or replacement pursuant to Section 11.01(b) and Section 13.04, or indemnification pursuant to Section 13.01 (subject to Section 13.04), as applicable.

4.06 Last Delivery Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to each Product, Kenvue shall not place any purchase order hereunder that provides for delivery of such Product after the last day of the Manufacturing Term for such Product, and neither J&J nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to accept or fill any purchase order placed by Kenvue to the extent it provides for delivery of such Product after such date.

4.07 Cancellation Payments.

(a) If Kenvue (i) cancels a Binding Purchase Order (except in accordance with Article 9) or (ii) reduces the forecasted Product amounts set forth in the binding portion of a prior accepted Rolling Forecast (each, a “Cancellation Event”), J&J will charge Kenvue for the Price of all Products under the cancelled Binding Purchase Order or all Products by which the binding portion of a previous accepted Rolling Forecast was reduced (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4.07(b), a “Cancellation Payment”); provided that, if the applicable finished, sellable Products have not been Manufactured as of the time of such cancellation or reduction, J&J shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any wasted Raw Materials or manufacturing capacity resulting from such Cancellation Event, and the Cancellation Payment will be reduced, in accordance with Section 4.07(b).

(b) In the event of a Cancellation Event, if J&J has (i) purchased Raw Materials (A) in the case of a Cancellation Event pursuant to Section 4.07(a)(i), for the Products indicated in such Binding Purchase Order or (B) in the case of a Cancellation Event pursuant to Section 4.07(a)(ii), for the Products indicated in such prior accepted Rolling Forecast and in accordance with applicable Raw Material lead times that are longer than the binding portion of such Rolling Forecast, or (ii) commenced Manufacture of Products under such Binding Purchase Order, J&J will, prior to invoicing Kenvue for the applicable Cancellation Payment, use commercially reasonable efforts to return any applicable Raw Materials to suppliers and receive a full or partial credit or refund for such or designate any applicable Raw Materials for use in the manufacture of products for J&J’s other customers and representatives (including of the J&J Business) and utilize the manufacturing capacities of the Facilities that would have been used to fulfill the cancelled Binding Purchase Order or cancelled portion thereof for other J&J manufacturing activities. J&J will reduce the Cancellation Payment for any amounts received or costs mitigated by the foregoing efforts, as reasonably determined by J&J in good faith.

(c) J&J will invoice Kenvue for the Cancellation Payment within forty-five (45) calendar days after the Cancellation Event. Any such invoice shall be issued and paid in accordance with Section 3.01(f).

4.08 Capacity. In the event that J&J reasonably believes that Kenvue’s requirements set forth in any non-binding portion of a Forecast exceed available capacity at an applicable Facility, J&J shall notify Kenvue and the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to determine a mutually acceptable means of addressing Kenvue’s requirements as set forth in such Forecast and applicable capacity restraints in the Supply Reviews. On a biannual basis, the Business Review Committee will review any proposed changes to capacity at the Facilities that may reasonably be expected to impact overall capacity for the Manufacture of Products at such Facilities.

(a) J&J represents and warrants to Kenvue that upon the delivery thereof, Products supplied in connection with this Agreement have been manufactured and provided, in all material respects, in compliance with this Agreement and the Quality Agreement and in conformity with the Specifications and any applicable Law relating thereto.

(b) If any Product does not conform to the warranties contained in Section 11.01(a) (such Product, a “Nonconforming Product”), J&J shall be obligated, at Kenvue’s election, to either (i) replace such Nonconforming Product or (ii) refund the Price paid by Kenvue to J&J in respect of such Nonconforming Product. Each Party will notify the other Party in writing of the existence of any Nonconforming Product and the nature of any non-conformities or deviations impacting identity, strength, quality or purity of any Product (including any Raw Materials used in Manufacturing any Product) within two (2) Business Days of identifying such non-conformity or deviation. Both Parties shall complete all investigations and generate a final report within forty-five (45) calendar days of the foregoing notice of a Nonconforming Product; provided that an extension may apply upon mutual agreement of the Parties, in which case a status report shall be prepared and provided by the Party leading such investigation. J&J shall lead, and

Kenvue agrees to reasonably cooperate with and provide reasonable support for, manufacturing investigations to determine the cause of any Nonconforming Product as promptly as reasonably practicable and implement appropriate corrective actions. Each Party will share information, documents and findings relevant to any such investigation. The Parties will follow their respective standard operating procedures to determine whether a Product constitutes a Nonconforming Product and, in the event of any disagreement between J&J and Kenvue as to whether a Product constitutes a Nonconforming Product, quality assurance representatives of the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any such disagreement within thirty (30) calendar days following completion of the Parties’ investigations pursuant to the third sentence of this clause (b). If the foregoing discussions do not resolve the disagreement within such period of time, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 15.05 of this Agreement; provided that if the asserted non-conformity or deviation is in connection with chemical or microbiological properties or related to Product performance measurable by analytical methods, the Parties shall submit the Product in question to a mutually acceptable independent testing laboratory or expert for evaluation to determine whether the Product is a Nonconforming Product, the results of which evaluation shall be deemed conclusive of the matter, absent manifest error or fraud, and the non-prevailing Party shall bear the costs of such evaluation. Until finally determined whether a Product is a Nonconforming Product (whether by mutual agreement of the Parties or pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures under this Section 11.01(b)), neither Party shall destroy any allegedly Nonconforming Product and each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to store, handle or otherwise care for such Product in such manner as may be necessary to fully preserve the state of the Product as of delivery thereof. If a Product is finally determined to be a Nonconforming Product (whether by mutual agreement of the Parties or pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure under this Section 11.01(b)), the Party holding the applicable Marketing Authorizations for the Product will be responsible for determining whether such Product will be returned or disposed and, in the event of disposal, for disposal thereof. Kenvue shall provide J&J with certification of disposal of any Nonconforming Products disposed of by Kenvue. The expense of any return or disposal of Nonconforming Products shall be borne by J&J unless the Parties otherwise mutually agree.

(c) The foregoing warranties and remedies shall not apply where a warranty claim arises due to (i) improper transportation and/or warehousing of a Product (except to the extent caused by J&J or an Affiliate or agent of J&J), (ii) abuse, misuse or modification of a Product (except to the extent caused by J&J or an Affiliate or agent of J&J) or (iii) any Third Party Manufactured Product (except to the extent caused by J&J or an Affiliate or agent of J&J).

Exhibit 10.8

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 3, 2023, between Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation (“J&J”), and Kenvue Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS the Company intends to offer and sell to the public (the “IPO”), by means of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-269115) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the IPO, J&J and the Company have entered into a Separation Agreement of even date herewith (the “Separation Agreement”) and certain other ancillary agreements;

WHEREAS J&J currently owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock;

WHEREAS J&J intends to preserve its ability to evaluate strategic options with respect to its remaining ownership interest in the Company after the IPO consistent with its rights and obligations under the Separation Agreement, including pursuant to Section 5.02 thereunder after the Separation Date (as defined in the Separation Agreement); and

WHEREAS J&J and the Company desire to make certain arrangements to provide J&J with registration rights with respect to the shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by J&J.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Effectiveness of Agreement.

1.1 Effective Time. This Agreement shall become effective upon the Separation Closing (as defined in the Separation Agreement) (the “Effective Time”).

1.2 Shares Covered. This Agreement covers all shares of the Common Stock that are beneficially owned by J&J as of the Effective Time (the “Shares”). The Shares shall include any securities issued or issuable with respect to the Shares by way of a stock dividend or a stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization.

J&J and any Permitted Transferees (as defined in Section 2.5) are each referred to herein as a “Holder” and collectively as the “Holders”, and the Holders of Shares proposed to be included in any registration under this Agreement are each referred to herein as a “Selling Holder” and collectively as the “Selling Holders.”

Section 2. Demand Registration.

2.1 Notice. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, upon written notice of any Holder requesting that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of all or a portion of the Shares held by such Holder, which notice shall specify the Shares intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method or methods of disposition of such Shares (which methods may include a Shelf Registration (as such term is defined in Section 2.6)), the Company will, no later than the fifth Business Day (as defined in the Separation Agreement) after receipt of such notice from any Holder, give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders, if any, and will use its reasonable best efforts to effect (at the earliest reasonable date) the registration under the Securities Act of such Shares (and the Shares of any other Holders joining in such registration request as specified in a written notice received by the Company within 10 days after receipt of the Company’s written notice of the proposed registration) for disposition in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition stated in such registration request (each registration request pursuant to this Section 2.1 is sometimes referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”); provided, however, that:

(a) the Company shall not be obligated to effect registration with respect to any Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1 (i) in violation of the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the IPO, (ii) in violation of any underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any other offering effected in accordance with this Agreement (so long as the lock-up period in such underwriting agreement does not exceed 90 days) or (iii) within 60 days after the effective date of a previous registration, other than a Shelf Registration, effected with respect to Shares pursuant to this Section 2;

(b) following the date on which J&J does not own a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, if at the time a Demand Registration is requested pursuant to this Section 2, the Company reasonably determines in good faith that (i) such Demand Registration would require the disclosure of material nonpublic information, the disclosure of which would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company, (ii) such Demand Registration would materially impede, delay or interfere with any material acquisition, divestiture, joint venture, merger, consolidation, other business combination, corporate reorganization, tender offer or other material transaction of the Company or (iii) the Company is unable to comply with SEC requirements for effectiveness of such Demand Registration (each of clauses (i) through (iii), a “Disadvantageous Condition”), the Company may postpone the filing or effectiveness (but not the preparation) of such registration until the earlier of (A) 7 days after the date on which the Disadvantageous Condition no longer exists or (B) 45 days after the date on which the Company makes such determination that a Disadvantageous Condition exists; provided, however, that the Company may delay a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) no more than once during any 12-month period following the Separation Date; provided further that the

postponement rights in this Section 2.1(b) and Section 4.3(a) and the holdback obligation in Section 4.5(c) shall not be applicable to the Holders for more than a total of 90 days during any 12-month period;

(c) the number of Shares originally requested to be registered pursuant to any registration requested pursuant to this Section 2 shall cover Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined below) as of the date of the notice delivered to the Company pursuant to this Section 2.1 of at least $250,000,000 or such lesser amount that constitutes all Shares owned by the Holders requesting such registration (for purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market Value” shall mean, as of any date, the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the trading day immediately preceding such date);

(d) if the intended method of disposition is a Demand Registration that is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Shares requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Shares which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Shares initially requesting such registration or without materially adversely affecting the market for the Common Stock, the Company shall include in such registration the number of Shares requested by Holders of a majority of the Shares to be included therein which, in the opinion of such Holders based upon advice of the managing underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering and without materially adversely affecting the market for the Common Stock, in accordance with the following priorities: (x) first, up to the number of Shares requested to be included in such registration by J&J and its Affiliates (as defined below) and (y) second, up to the number of Shares requested to be included in such registration by Selling Holders other than J&J and its Affiliates, pro rata among such Selling Holders of such Shares on the basis of the number of Shares requested to be registered by each such Selling Holder; and

(e) the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than three Demand Registrations in any 12-month period.

For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliate” of any Person (as defined in the Separation Agreement) means a Person that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person. As used herein, “control” of any entity means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such entity, whether through ownership of voting securities or other interests, by contract or otherwise; provided, however, that (a) the Company and the other members of the Kenvue Group (as defined in the Separation Agreement) shall not be considered Affiliates of J&J or any of the other members of the J&J Group (as defined in the Separation Agreement) and (b) J&J and the other members of the J&J Group shall not be considered Affiliates of the Company or any of the other members of the Kenvue Group.

2.2 Registration Expenses. All Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 8) for any registration requested pursuant to this Section 2 (including any registration that is delayed or withdrawn, subject to the provisions of Section 2.9) shall be paid by the Company.

2.3 Selection of Professionals. J&J, in the event J&J is participating, or the Holders of a majority of the Shares included in any Demand Registration, in the event J&J is not participating, shall have the right to select the investment bankers and managers to underwrite or otherwise administer the offering, the financial printer for the offering and counsel for the Selling Holders; provided that, in the event J&J is not participating, such investment bankers, managers, financial printer and counsel shall also be approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

2.4 Third Person Shares. The Company shall have the right to cause the registration of securities for sale for the account of any Person (as defined in Section 6(d)) (including the Company) other than the Selling Holders (the “Third Person Shares”) in any registration of the Shares requested pursuant to this Section 2 so long as the Third Person Shares are disposed of in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition requested pursuant to this Section 2.

If a Demand Registration in which the Company proposes to include Third Person Shares is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Shares and Third Person Shares requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Shares and Third Person Shares which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Shares initially requesting such registration or without materially adversely affecting the market for the Common Stock (the “Maximum Number”), the Company shall not include in such registration any Third Person Shares unless all of the Shares initially requested to be included therein are so included, and then only to the extent of the Maximum Number.

2.5 Permitted Transferees. As used in this Agreement, “Permitted Transferees” shall mean any transferee, whether direct or indirect, of Shares that (a) (i) as of the time of transfer of the Shares to such transferee is, and as of immediately prior to the sale of Shares pursuant to the Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration (as defined in Section 3.1), as the case may be, will be, a member of the J&J Group (as defined in the Separation Agreement), (ii) is a third-party lender participating in an equity-for-debt exchange (i.e., any transfer of the Common Stock by a member of the J&J Group to one or more third-party lenders in repayment of indebtedness of any member of the J&J Group owed to such lenders or their affiliates) or (iii) acquires from any member or members of the J&J Group shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $1,000,000,000 as of the time of such acquisition and executes an agreement to be bound by this Agreement, a copy of which shall be furnished the Company and (b) is designated by J&J (or a subsequent Holder) in a written notice to the Company. Any Permitted Transferee of the Shares shall be subject to and bound by and benefit from all of the terms and conditions herein applicable to Holders. For the

avoidance of doubt, any Permitted Transferee of Shares shall be subject to and bound by and benefit from all of the terms and conditions applicable to Holders generally and not those applicable to J&J (or any member of the J&J Group) specifically. The notice required by this Section 2.5 shall be signed by both the transferring Holder and the Permitted Transferees so designated and shall include an undertaking by the Permitted Transferees to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to Holders.

2.6 Shelf Registration; Distribution. With respect to any Demand Registration, the requesting Holders may, but shall not be required to, request the Company to effect a registration of the Shares (a) at any time after the date hereof when the Company is eligible to register the Shares on Form S-3 (or any successor form), under a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) (a “Shelf Registration”) or (b) in the form of a Distribution or an Other Disposition (as such terms are defined in the Separation Agreement). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with any such request, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.7 SEC Form; Information. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Demand Registrations to be registered on Form S-3 (or any successor form), and if the Company is not then eligible under the Securities Act to use Form S-3, such Demand Registrations shall be registered on Form S-1 (or any successor form), or, in the case of an exchange offer, Form S-4 (or any successor form). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to become eligible to use Form S-3 and, after becoming eligible to use Form S-3, shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain so eligible. All such Demand Registrations shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the SEC’s rules and regulations thereunder, and, together with each prospectus included, filed or otherwise furnished by the Company in connection therewith, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Company shall timely file all reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K (or any successor forms), and all material required to be filed, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to the extent that such filing shall be a condition to the initial filing or continued use or effectiveness of any Demand Registration or to the extent required to enable any Holder to sell Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar rule or regulation hereafter promulgated by the SEC). From and after the date hereof through the earlier of (a) the expiration or termination of this Agreement or (b) the date upon which the J&J Group ceases to own any Shares, the Company shall forthwith upon written request by J&J (i) furnish any Holder (A) a written statement by the Company as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and (C) such other reports and documents filed by the Company with the SEC and (ii) take such further action as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of an exemption for the sale of Shares without registration under the Securities Act.

2.8 Other Registration Rights. The Company shall not grant to any Persons the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, whether pursuant to “demand,” “piggyback” or other rights, unless such rights are subject and subordinate to the rights of the Holders under this Agreement.

2.9 Withdrawal. At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement or the filing of a prospectus statement relating to such registration, the Holder making such request for registration may withdraw such request, without liability to any of the other Holders, by providing a written notice to the Company withdrawing such request. A request, so withdrawn, shall be considered to be a Demand Registration unless (a) such withdrawal arose out of the fault of the Company (in which case the Company shall be obligated to pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such withdrawn request), (b) the Holder withdrawing the request is J&J or (c) the Holder making such request for registration reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses (other than the expenses set forth under Section 8(g)) in connection with such withdrawn request.

Section 3. Piggyback Registrations.

3.1 Notice and Registration. If the Company proposes to register any of its securities for public sale under the Securities Act (whether proposed to be offered for sale by the Company or any other Person), on a form and in a manner that would permit registration of the Shares for sale to the public under the Securities Act (a “Piggyback Registration”), it will give at least 20 days’ advance written notice to the Holders of its intention to do so, and upon the written request of any or all of the Holders delivered to the Company within 15 days after the giving of any such notice (which request shall specify the Shares intended to be disposed of by such Holders), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect, in connection with the registration of such other securities, the registration under the Securities Act of all of the Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by such Holders (which shall then become Selling Holders), to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the same method of disposition as the Company proposes to use to dispose of the other securities) of the Shares to be so registered; provided, however, that:

(a) if, at any time after giving such written notice of its intention to register any of its other securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason to delay registration of, or not to register, such other securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Selling Holders (or, if prior to the expiration of the 20-day period described above in this Section 3.1, the Holders) and thereupon the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register such Shares in connection with the registration of such other securities (but not from its obligation to pay Registration Expenses to the extent incurred in connection therewith as provided in Section 3.3), without prejudice, however, to the rights (if any) of any Selling Holders immediately to request (subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2) that such registration be

effected as a registration under Section 2 or to include such Shares in any subsequent Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 3;

(b) the Company shall not be required to effect any registration of the Shares under this Section 3 incidental to the registration of any of its securities (i) on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms, (ii) relating to equity securities issuable upon exercise of employee stock or similar options or in connection with any employee benefit or similar plan of the Company or (iii) in connection with an acquisition of, or an investment in, another entity by the Company;

(c) the Company’s filing of a Shelf Registration shall not be deemed to be a Piggyback Registration; provided, however, that the proposal to file any prospectus supplement filed pursuant to a Shelf Registration with respect to an offering of the Company’s securities (whether proposed to be offered for sale by the Company or any other Person) will be a Piggyback Registration unless such offering qualifies for an exemption under this Section 3.1; provided further that, if the Company files a Shelf Registration, the Company agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such Shelf Registration at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment;

(d) if a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten registration on behalf of the Company (whether or not selling security holders are included therein) and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without materially adversely affecting the marketability of the offering or the market for the Common Stock (the “Piggyback Maximum Number”), the Company shall include the following securities in such registration up to the Piggyback Maximum Number and in accordance with the following priorities: (w) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (x) second, up to the number of Shares requested to be included in such registration by J&J, (y) third, up to the number of Shares requested to be included in such registration by Selling Holders other than J&J, pro rata among such Selling Holders of such Shares on the basis of the number of Shares requested to be registered by each such Selling Holder and (z) fourth, up to the number of any other securities requested to be included in such registration;

(e) no registration of the Shares effected under this Section 3 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect a registration of Shares pursuant to, and subject to, Section 2; and

(f) at any time prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto, any Selling Holder may withdraw any or all of its Shares from a Piggyback Registration by providing a written notice to the Company.

3.2 Selection of Professionals. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering pursuant to which the Company is offering Shares for its own account (a “Kenvue Public Sale”), then the Company shall select the investment bankers and managers to underwrite or otherwise administer the offering and the financial printer for the offering. If any Piggyback Registration is not a Kenvue Public Sale, then (x) in the event J&J is participating, then J&J shall have the right to select the investment bankers and managers to underwrite or otherwise administer the offering, the financial printer for the offering and counsel for the Selling Holders and (y) in the event J&J is not participating, then the Holders of a majority of the Shares included in such Piggyback Registration shall have the right to select the investment bankers and managers to underwrite or otherwise administer the offering, the financial printer for the offering and counsel for the Selling Holders; provided that such investment bankers, managers, financial printer and counsel shall also be approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

3.3 Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all of the Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 3.

Section 4. Registration Procedures.

4.1 Registration and Qualification. If and whenever the Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any of the Shares under the Securities Act as provided in Sections 2 and 3, including an underwritten offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to:

(a) as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 30 days (in the case of a registration statement on Form S-3 or Form S-4) or 90 days (in the case of all other registration statements)) after the date of any request for registration under Section 2, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Shares and cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after the initial filing thereof; provided that, before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall furnish to the Selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of such parties) and the Company shall not file with the SEC any registration statement or prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto to which the Selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object;

(b) except in the case of a Shelf Registration effected on Form S-3, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all such Shares until the earlier of (i) such time as all such Shares have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition set forth in such registration statement or (ii) the expiration of 90 days after such registration statement

becomes effective, plus the number of days that any filing or effectiveness has been delayed under Section 2.1(b);

(c) in the case of a Shelf Registration effected on Form S-3, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Shares subject thereto for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 36 months after the effective date of such registration statement plus the number of days that any filing or effectiveness has been delayed under Section 2.1(b) or suspended under Section 4.3(a) and (ii) the date on which all the Shares subject thereto have been sold pursuant to such registration statement;

(d) furnish to the Selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, such documents incorporated by reference in such registration statement or prospectus and such other documents as the Selling Holders or such underwriters may reasonably request;

(e) register or qualify all of the Shares covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or any underwriter shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the Selling Holders or any underwriter to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Shares covered by such registration statement, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified, subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(f) in the case of an underwritten offering, (i) furnish to the underwriters, addressed to them, an opinion of counsel for the Company and (ii) furnish to the underwriters, addressed to them, a “cold comfort” letter signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities and such other matters as the underwriters may reasonably request, in each case, in form and substance and as of the dates reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters;

(g) enter into such customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement containing customary provisions for indemnification and contribution covering the underwriters and their affiliates) and take such other actions as the Selling Holders shall reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Shares (it being understood that the relevant Selling Holders may be parties to any such underwriting agreement and may, at their option, require that the Company make to and for the benefit of such Selling Holders the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company which are being made to and for the benefit of such underwriters);

(h) notify the Selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, and (if requested) confirm such advice in writing and provide copies of the relevant documents, as soon as reasonably practicable after notice thereof is received by the Company, (i) when the applicable registration statement or any amendment thereto has been filed or becomes effective, and when the applicable prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such prospectus has been filed, (ii) of any comments (written or oral) by the SEC or any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority (written or oral) for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or such prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary or final prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for such purposes, (iv) if, at any time, the representations and warranties of the Company in any applicable underwriting agreement cease to be true and correct in all material respects and (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(i) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make generally available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the relevant registration statement (and in any event within 90 days after the end of such 12-month period described hereafter), an earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering the period of at least 12 consecutive months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first calendar quarter after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

(j) immediately notify the Selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, at any time when a prospectus relating to a registration pursuant to Section 2 or 3 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were

made, not misleading, and at the request of the Selling Holders or the underwriters prepare and file with the SEC (and furnish to the Selling Holders and the underwriters a reasonable number of copies of) a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(k) permit any Selling Holders comprising holders of a majority of the Shares to be included in such registration to participate in the preparation of such registration statement (including having prompt access to any SEC comment letters or other communications in connection with such registration and the Company’s responses thereto) and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such Selling Holders and their counsel should be included, subject to the Company’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;

(l) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all such Shares covered by such registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(m) provide a CUSIP number for all such Shares, not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(n) in the case of a Demand Registration relating to an underwritten offering, cause the senior executive officers of the Company, as selected by mutual agreement of the Company and the Selling Holders, to facilitate, cooperate with, and participate in each proposed offering contemplated herein and customary selling efforts related thereto, including participation of such officers in road show presentations, during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Company’s business;

(o) cooperate with the Selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates not bearing any restrictive legends representing the Shares to be sold, and cause such Shares to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names in accordance with the underwriting agreement prior to any sale of Shares to the underwriters or, if not an underwritten offering, in accordance with the instructions of the Selling Holders at least three Business Days prior to any sale of Shares and instruct any transfer agent and registrar of Shares to release any stop transfer orders in respect thereof; provided that the Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.1(o) without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of the Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System;

(p) take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that, to the extent that any prohibition is applicable to the Company, the Company will take such action as is necessary to make any such prohibition inapplicable;

(q) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;

(r) cause the Shares covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other government agencies or authorities, as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Shares;

(s) take all such other commercially reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Shares; and

(t) without limiting the applicability of, and obligations described in, clauses (a) through (s) above, in the case of any Demand Registration in the form of a Distribution or Other Disposition, the Company shall take such corresponding actions described in clause (a) through (s) above that are customarily applicable to such transactions and shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Distribution or Other Disposition.

The Company may require the Selling Holders to furnish the Company with such information regarding the Selling Holders and the distribution of such Shares, and other customary certifications and agreements, as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and as shall be required by law, the SEC or any securities exchange on which any shares of Common Stock are then listed for trading in connection with any registration.

Each Selling Holder will as promptly as reasonably practicable notify the Company, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered (or deemed delivered) under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event, of which such Selling Holder has knowledge, relating to such Selling Holder or its disposition of Shares thereunder requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered (or deemed delivered) to the purchasers of such Shares, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

J&J agrees, and any other Selling Holder agrees by acquisition of such Shares, that, upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 4.1(j), such Selling Holder will forthwith

discontinue disposition of Shares pursuant to such registration statement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4.1(j), or until such Selling Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and if so directed by the Company, such Selling Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies of the prospectus covering such Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the period during which the applicable registration statement is required to be maintained effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Shares covered by such registration statement either receives the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4.1(j) or is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed.

No Selling Holder may participate in any underwritten offering or registered exchange offer hereunder unless such Selling Holder (a) agrees to sell such Selling Holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting agreements or other applicable agreements, approved by the Company or other Persons entitled to approve such agreements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, other applicable agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting or other agreements or this Agreement.

Each Selling Holder other than J&J agrees that, in connection with any offering pursuant to this Agreement, it will not prepare, use or refer to any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) without the prior written authorization of the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and will not distribute any written materials in connection with any offering of the Shares under any registration statement registered pursuant to this Agreement other than the applicable prospectus and any such free writing prospectus so authorized.

4.2 Underwriting. If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering (or exchange agent for an exchange offer) in connection with a registration requested hereunder (including any registration under Section 3 which involves, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering), the Company will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters (or exchange agent agreement with such exchange agents) for such offering, such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements or exchange offers, as applicable, with respect to that offering, including indemnification and contribution obligations and the provision of opinions of counsel and accountants’ letters to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 4.1(f). The Company may require that the Shares requested to be registered pursuant to Section 3 be included in such underwritten offering on the same terms and conditions as shall be applicable to the other securities being sold through underwriters under such registration; provided, however, that no Selling Holder shall be required to make any

representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 6 hereof. The Selling Holders shall be parties to any such underwriting agreement, and the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Selling Holders.

4.3 Blackout Periods for Shelf Registrations.

(a) Following the date on which J&J does not own a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, at any time when a Shelf Registration effected pursuant to Section 2 relating to the Shares is effective, upon written notice from the Company to the Selling Holders that the Company has determined in good faith that (i) the Selling Holders’ sale of the Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration would require the disclosure of material nonpublic information, the disclosure of which would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company, (ii) the Selling Holders’ sale of the Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration would materially impede, delay or interfere with any material acquisition, divestiture, joint venture, merger, consolidation, other business combination, corporate reorganization, tender offer or other material transaction of the Company or (iii) the Company is unable to comply with SEC requirements for continued use or effectiveness of the Shelf Registration (each of clauses (i) through (iii), an “Information Blackout”), the Selling Holders shall suspend sales of the Shares pursuant to such Shelf Registration until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material (or the Company otherwise complies with applicable SEC requirements), (B) 45 days after the date on which the Company makes such good faith determination that an Information Blackout exists (unless resuming use of the Shelf Registration is then prohibited by applicable SEC rules or published interpretations) or (C) such time as the Company notifies the Selling Holders that sales pursuant to such Shelf Registration may be resumed (the number of days from such suspension of sales of the Shares until the day when such sales may be resumed hereunder is hereinafter called a “Sales Blackout Period”). The postponement rights in this Section 4.3(a) and Section 2.1(b) and the holdback obligation in Section 4.5(c) shall not be applicable to the Holders for more than a total of 90 days during any 12-month period.

(b) If there is an Information Blackout and the Selling Holders do not notify the Company in writing of their desire to cancel such Shelf Registration, the period set forth in Section 4.1(c)(i) shall be extended for a number of days equal to the number of days in the Sales Blackout Period. The fact that a Sales Blackout Period is required under this Section 4.3 or SEC rules shall not relieve the contractual duty of the Company as set forth in Section 2.7 to file timely reports and otherwise file material required to be filed under the Exchange Act.

4.4 Listing and Other Requirements. In connection with the registration of any offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees to use its

reasonable best efforts to effect the listing of such Shares on any securities exchange on which any shares of the Common Stock are then listed and otherwise facilitate the public trading of such Shares. The Company will take all other lawful actions reasonably necessary and customary under the circumstances to expedite and facilitate the disposition by the Selling Holders of Shares registered pursuant to this Agreement as described in the prospectus relating thereto, including timely preparation and delivery of stock certificates, if any, in appropriate denominations and furnishing any required instructions or legal opinions to the Company’s transfer agent in connection with Shares sold or otherwise distributed pursuant to an effective registration statement; provided that the Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.4 without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of the Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System.

4.5 Holdback Agreements.

(a) The Company shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of any registration statement in connection with a Demand Registration (other than a Shelf Registration) or a Piggyback Registration, except pursuant to such Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration or registrations on Form S-8 or S-4 or any successor form or unless the underwriters managing any such public offering otherwise agree.

(b) If the Holders of Shares notify the Company in writing that they intend to effect an underwritten sale of Shares registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for its equity securities, during the seven days prior to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the date specified in such notice for such proposed sale, except pursuant to such intended Shelf Registration or registrations on Form S-8 or S-4 or any successor form or unless the underwriters managing any such public offering otherwise agree.

(c) If the Company completes an underwritten registration with respect to any of its securities (whether offered for sale by the Company or any other Person) on a form and in a manner that would have permitted registration of the Shares, if no Holder requested the inclusion of any Shares in such registration, and if the Company gives each Holder at least 20 days prior written notice of the approximate date on which such offering is expected to be commenced, the Holders shall not effect any public sales or distributions of equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, until the termination of the holdback period required from the Company by any underwriters in connection with such previous registration; provided that the holdback period applicable to the Holders shall (i) in no event be longer than a period of seven days prior to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of such registration statement, (ii) not apply to any Distribution under the Separation Agreement, (iii) not apply to any Holder owning less than 10% of the Company’s outstanding voting securities and (iv) not apply unless all

directors and executive officers of the Company and holders of 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting securities (other than any Holders) are subject to substantially comparable restrictions as those proposed to be imposed on the Holders; provided further that for the purposes of clause (iii), all members of the J&J Group shall be treated as a single Selling Holder and that for the purposes of clause (iv), each such party shall, upon request, execute a lock-up agreement containing such terms in a customary form and, to the extent required by any underwriter participating in an underwritten public offering, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its executive officers and directors to execute such lock-up agreements in connection with such underwritten public offering, which lock-up agreements shall not have a duration shorter than that of the lock-up agreement or provisions applicable to the Company. The holdback obligation in this Section 4.5(c) and the postponement rights in Section 2.1(b) and Section 4.3(a) shall not be applicable to the Holders for more than a total of 90 days during any 12-month period.

Section 5. Preparation; Reasonable Investigation. In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement registering the Shares under the Securities Act and each sale of the Shares thereunder, the Company will give each Selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants representing such Selling Holders and underwriters, access to its reasonably requested financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Selling Holders and such underwriters or such counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act; provided that each Selling Holder agrees that the information obtained by it pursuant to this Section 5 shall be kept confidential by it and, except as required by law, not disclosed by it, in each case, unless and until such information is made generally available to the public other than by such Selling Holder, and each Selling Holder further agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such information is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, promptly give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the information deemed confidential; provided further that for purposes of this Section 5, all members of the J&J Group shall be treated as a single Selling Holder.

Section 6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) In the event of any registration of any of the Shares hereunder, the Company will enter into customary indemnification arrangements to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Selling Holders, each of their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents, each Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, each director, officer, employee, advisor and agent of each underwriter and each Person, if any, who controls each such Selling Holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Holder Covered Persons”) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which such Person may be subject under the Securities Act or otherwise

insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any related registration statement filed under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), and the Company will reimburse each such Holder Covered Person, as incurred, for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder Covered Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company after the Separation Date by such Selling Holder or such underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any such Holder Covered Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Selling Holders. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (a) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6, but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (b) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such Selling Holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 6, then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such Holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Shares offered by and sold under the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by and sold under such registration statement, and the Company and the other Selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however, that, in any such case: (i) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net amount of proceeds of all such Shares offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement and (ii) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(b) Each of the Selling Holders, by virtue of exercising its respective registration rights hereunder, agrees and undertakes to enter into customary

indemnification arrangements to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in clause (a) of this Section 6) the Company, its directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents, each Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, each director, officer, employee, advisor and agent of each underwriter, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Company Covered Persons”), with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or omission is contained in written information furnished by such Selling Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such registration statement or prospectus; provided, however, that the obligation for each Selling Holder to indemnify shall be several and not joint, and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Shares pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Company Covered Person and shall survive the transfer of the registered securities by the Selling Holders.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall (i) give prompt written notice to the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party may exist with respect to such claim, permit such Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. For any such claim, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, including one or more defenses or counterclaims that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (c) such Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense within a reasonable time of notice pursuant to this Section 6(c). If such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, no Indemnified Party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent to such judgment or settlement (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding and (ii) does not

include any injunctive or other equitable or non-monetary relief applicable to or affecting such Indemnified Party.

(d) “Person” means an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a joint stock company, a trust, a joint venture, an unincorporated organization and a governmental entity, or any department, agency or political subdivision thereof.

(e) The rights and obligations of the Company and the Selling Holders under this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7. Benefits and Termination of Registration Rights. (a) The Holders may exercise the registration rights granted hereunder in such manner and proportions as they shall agree among themselves. The registration rights hereunder shall cease to apply to any particular Shares and such securities shall cease to be Shares when: (i) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such Shares shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such Shares shall have been disposed of in accordance with such registration statement; (ii) (x) as to J&J, any other member of the J&J Group, any third-party lender participating in an equity-for-debt exchange or any Holder holding Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $1,000,000,000, such Shares shall have been sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision) (“Rule 144”) and (y) as to any other Holder not enumerated in the immediately preceding clause (x), such Shares may be sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 without being subject to the volume or manner of sale limitations of such rule; (iii) such Shares shall have been otherwise transferred, new certificates for them not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by the Company (if applicable) and subsequent public distribution of them shall not require registration or qualification of them under the Securities Act or any similar state law then in force; or (iv) such Shares shall have ceased to be outstanding.

(b) If any Shares are held in non-certificated book-entry form and are subject to any stop transfer or similar instructions or restrictions, the Company shall, at the request of the applicable Holder, promptly cause such stop transfer or similar instructions or restrictions to be promptly terminated and removed if (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act or (ii) the applicable Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, including, if requested by the Company, an opinion of outside legal counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to such effect. Following the effective date of any Registration Statement pursuant to which Shares are registered for resale, the Company shall cause any stop transfer or similar instructions or restrictions relating to such Shares to be terminated and removed.

Section 8. Registration Expenses. As used in this Agreement, the term “Registration Expenses” means all expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with the registration requirements set forth in this Agreement, including:

(a) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and accountants in connection with the registration of the Shares to be disposed of;

(b) all expenses in connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, any other offering document and amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the underwriters;

(c) the cost of printing and producing any agreements among underwriters, any underwriting agreements, any blue sky or legal investment memoranda, any selling agreements and any amendments thereto or other documents in connection with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares to be disposed of;

(d) all registration, qualification and filing fees, including the filing fees incident to securing any required review by the NYSE, and any other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded or listed, of the terms of the sale of the Shares to be disposed of and the trading or listing of all such Shares on each such exchange;

(e) all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Shares to be disposed of for offering and sale under state securities laws, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with any blue sky and legal investment surveys;

(f) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of an offering by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority;

(g) internal expenses of the Company (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties);

(h) expenses incurred in connection with any road show presentation to potential investors;

(i) the costs of preparing stock certificates (if any);

(j) the costs and charges of the Company’s transfer agent and registrar; and

(k) the fees and disbursements of any custodians or agents.

Registration Expenses shall not include (i) underwriting discounts and underwriters’ commissions attributable to the Shares being registered for sale on behalf of the Selling Holders, which shall be paid by the Selling Holders, (ii) stock transfer taxes, which shall be paid by the Selling Holders, and (iii) the fees, disbursements and

expenses of the Selling Holders’ counsel and accountants in connection with the registration of the Shares to be disposed of under the Securities Act; provided that Registration Expenses shall include, only in the event J&J is participating, the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of J&J’s counsel and accountants in connection with the registration of J&J’s Shares to be disposed; provided further, that until the date on which J&J does not own a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, J&J shall be responsible for paying the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel, which counsel shall be subject to J&J’s approval, in connection with the registration of the Shares in connection with a Distribution or Other Disposition (each, as defined in the Separation Agreement).

Section 9. Miscellaneous.

9.1 Ownership Reporting. The Company agrees that it will provide assistance to the J&J Group in connection with the filing of beneficial ownership reports on Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (or any successor form) or any amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Exchange Act.

9.2 Nominees for Beneficial Owners. If Shares are held by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its option, be treated as the Holder of such Shares for purposes of any request or other action by any Holder pursuant to this Agreement (or any determination of any number or percentage of shares constituting Shares held by any Holder contemplated by this Agreement); provided that the Company shall have received assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such beneficial ownership.

9.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which counterparts shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or PDF signature and a facsimile or PDF signature shall constitute an original for all purposes.

9.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Separation Agreement, all the other Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Separation Agreement) and all other exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter, and there are no agreements or understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein.

(a) it has the requisite corporate or other power and authority and has taken all corporate or other action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated; and

(b) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes, or will constitute, a valid and binding agreement of it enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof; and

(c) this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equity principles.

9.6 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Jurisdiction. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

(b) Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement between the parties (a “Dispute”), either party may refer such Dispute to the respective senior officers of such parties by delivering written notice of such Dispute to the other party (a “Negotiation Notice”). Upon delivery of a Negotiation Notice, each party shall attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation among their respective senior officers who hold, at a minimum, the title of Executive Vice President and who have authority to settle such Dispute.

(c) If the parties are unable to resolve any Dispute within 30 calendar days of the delivery of a Negotiation Notice, then either party shall have the right to initiate non-binding mediation by delivering written notice to the other party (a “Mediation Notice”). Upon delivery of a Mediation Notice, the applicable Dispute shall be promptly submitted for non-binding mediation conducted in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Mediation Rules”), and the parties shall participate in such mediation in good faith for a period of 30 calendar days or such longer period as the parties may mutually agree in writing (the “Mediation Period”).

If any provision of this 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 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, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party. Upon any such determination, any such provision, to the extent determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be deemed replaced by a

provision that such court determines is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

9.11 Waivers of Default. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Waiver by any party of any default by the other party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving party of any subsequent or other default.

9.12 Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the affected party shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The parties hereto agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach hereof, 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.

9.13 Amendments; Waivers. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed amended, supplemented or modified by any party, unless such amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of each party, and no waiver of any provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the party sought to be bound by such waiver.

9.14 Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or a Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. All references made herein to the Company as a party which operate as of the Separation Closing shall be deemed to refer to the Company and its subsidiaries as a single party.

9.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER

PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH OF THE PARTIES UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH OF THE PARTIES MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH OF THE PARTIES HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.16.
