Without acknowledging the following disclosure is required, on January 5, 2001, Reliance Group Holdings, Inc.

Icahn, Icahn Associates Corp. and High River alleging that High River’s tender offer for Reliance 9% senior notes violated Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act. Reliance sought a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent defendants from purchasing the notes. The Court initially imposed a temporary restraining order. Defendants then supplemented the tender offer disclosures. The Court conducted a hearing on the disclosures and other matters raised by Reliance. It then denied plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction and ordered dissolution of its temporary restraining order following dissemination of the supplement. Reliance took an immediate appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and sought a stay to restrain defendants from purchasing notes during the pendency of the appeal. On January 30, 2001, the Court of Appeals denied plaintiff’s stay application. On January 30, Reliance also sought a further temporary restraining order from the District Court. The Court considered the matter and reimposed its original restraint until noon the next day, at which time the restraint was dissolved. The appeal was argued on March 9 and denied on March 22, 2001.

ICAHN CAPITAL LP
August 17, 2011
To the undersigned potential nominee:
This will confirm our understanding as follows:
You agree that you are willing, should we so elect, to become a member of a slate of nominees (the “Slate”) to stand for election as directors of The Clorox Company (“Clorox”) in connection with a proxy contest with management of Clorox in respect of the election of directors of Clorox at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Clorox (the “Annual Meeting”), expected to be held in the winter of 2011, or a special meeting of stockholders of Clorox called for a similar purpose (the “Proxy Contest”).
Icahn Capital LP (“Icahn”) agrees to pay the costs of the Proxy Contest.
In addition, upon our filing of a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC, which indicates that Icahn, or an affiliate thereof, intends to nominate you for election at the Annual Meeting, you will be entitled to be paid $25,000 by Icahn unless you are elected to serve as a director of Clorox at the Annual Meeting or a special meeting of stockholders of Clorox called for a similar purpose or in connection with a settlement of the Proxy Contest by Icahn and Clorox, in which case you will not receive any payment from Icahn in connection with the Proxy Contest. Payment to you pursuant to this paragraph, if any, will be made by Icahn, subject to the terms hereof, upon the earliest of (i) the certification of the results of the election in respect of the Proxy Contest, (ii) the settlement of the Proxy Contest by Icahn and Clorox, or (iii) the withdrawal of the Proxy Contest by Icahn.4
You understand that it may be difficult, if not impossible, to replace nominees who, such as yourself, have agreed to serve on the Slate and later change their minds and determine not to seek election. Accordingly, the Slate is relying upon your agreement to seek election. In that connection, you are being supplied with a questionnaire in which you will provide Icahn with information necessary for Icahn to make appropriate disclosure both to Clorox and for use in creating the proxy material to be sent to shareholders of Clorox and to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You have agreed that (i) you will immediately complete and sign the questionnaire and return it to Mark DiPaolo, Assistant General Counsel, Icahn Enterprises LP, 767 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4700, New York, NY 10153, Tel: (212) 702-4361, Fax: (212) 688-1158, Email: mdipaolo@sfire.com and (ii) your responses to the questions contained therein will be true and correct in all respects. In addition, you have agreed that, concurrently with your execution of this letter, you will execute the attached instrument directed to Clorox informing Clorox that you consent to being nominated by Icahn, or an affiliate thereof, for election as a director of Clorox and, if elected, consent to serving as a director of Clorox. You also will make a statement in the attached instrument that if elected, you intend to tender a resignation effective upon your failure to receive the required vote for re-election at the next meeting at which you would face re-election and upon acceptance of such resignation by the Board of Directors of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. Upon being notified that we have chosen you, we may forward that instrument and your completed questionnaire (or summaries thereof) to Clorox.
4 | This paragraph is only contained in the applicable agreement with each of Messrs. Krongard, Zander and Read. |
Icahn hereby agrees that, so long as you actually serve on the Slate, Icahn will defend, indemnify and hold you harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses and disbursements) incurred by you in the event that (i) you become a party, or are threatened to be made a party, to any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal thereof relating solely to your role as a nominee for director of Clorox on the Slate (a “Proceeding”) or (ii) you are called to testify or give a deposition in any Proceeding (whether or not you are a party or are threatened to be made a party to such Proceeding), including, in each case, the advancement to you of all reasonable attorneys’ costs and expenses incurred by you in connection with any Proceeding. Your right of indemnification hereunder shall continue (i) in the event that Icahn determines to withdraw the Slate or remove you from the Slate and (ii) after the election has taken place but only for events which occur prior to such election and subsequent to the date hereof. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Icahn is not indemnifying you for any action taken by you or on your behalf which occurs prior to the date hereof or subsequent to the Annual Meeting or such earlier time as you are no longer a nominee of the Slate for election to Clorox’s Board of Directors or for any actions taken by you as a director of Clorox, if you are elected. Nothing herein shall be construed to provide you an indemnity: (i) in the event you are found to have engaged in a violation of any provision of state or federal law in connection with the Proxy Contest unless you demonstrate that your action was taken in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of electing the Slate; or (ii) if you acted in a manner which constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event that you shall make any claim for indemnification hereunder, you shall promptly notify Icahn in the event of any third-party claims actually made against you or known by you to be threatened. In addition, with respect to any such claim, Icahn shall be entitled to control your defense with counsel chosen by Icahn. Icahn shall not be responsible for any settlement of any claim against you covered by this indemnity without its prior written consent. However, Icahn may not enter into any settlement of any such claim without your consent unless such settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of such claim.
Each of us recognizes that should you be elected to the Board of Directors of Clorox all of your activities and decisions as a director will be governed by applicable law and subject to your fiduciary duty to the stockholders of Clorox and, as a result, that there is, and can be, no agreement between you and Icahn which governs the decisions which you will make as a director of Clorox.
Should the foregoing agree with your understanding, please so indicate in the space provided below, whereupon this letter will become a binding agreement between us.
Very truly yours, | ||
