This will confirm our understanding as follows:
Based on our discussions to date, you have indicated that currently you are willing, should we decide to proceed, to become a member of a slate of nominees (the “Slate”) to stand for election as a director of Campbell Soup Company (the “Company”) at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, any special meeting of Company stockholders and at any adjournments, postponements or continuations thereof, as well as in connection with any solicitation of written consents from stockholders of the Company (collectively, the “Annual Meeting”).
In that regard, you have provided to Third Point LLC (the “Nominating Stockholder”) with information necessary for the Nominating Stockholder to make appropriate disclosure both to the Company and for use in creating the proxy or other solicitation material that may be sent to the Company’s stockholders and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You represent and warrant that your responses to the questions contained therein are true and correct in all material respects. In addition, you have agreed that, concurrently with your execution of this letter, you will execute the instrument attached hereto as Annex I, directed to the Company, informing the Company that you consent to being nominated for election as a director of the Company and, if elected, consent to serving as a director of the Company. Upon being notified that you have been chosen to be part of the Slate, that consent and your completed questionnaire (or summaries thereof) may be forwarded to the Company.
You understand and acknowledge that the Nominating Stockholder and its affiliates may be required to make various filings with the SEC in connection with your nomination as a director and any related proxy solicitation, and may also be required to respond to comment letters and other SEC correspondence relating thereto. In connection therewith, you hereby agree and authorize the Nominating Stockholder and its legal representatives to make the following representation to the SEC on your behalf, substantially in the form of the following statement to the extent required by the SEC or required in order to accelerate SEC review or action: “Lawrence Karlson acknowledges that (i) he is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the applicable filing, (ii) SEC Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to SEC Staff comments do not foreclose the SEC from taking any action with respect to the filing and (iii) he may not assert SEC Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the SEC or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.”
As has been discussed with you, during the period that you are a nominee, the Nominating Stockholder may ask for, and you agree to provide, reasonable cooperation and assistance with certain matters in connection with your nomination. Examples of such matters would include, if requested, meetings or conference calls with Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and other stockholders. Except as otherwise provided herein, you shall bear your own expenses in connection with serving as a nominee on the Slate.
