----------
ALLOCATION OF TAX LIABILITIES
-----------------------------
2.01 United States Federal Tax Liabilities.
-------------------------------------
(a) Subject to Sections 2.04 and 2.05, Premark and its Affiliates shall
be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold Tupperware and the Tupperware
Group harmless from:
(1) any United States Federal Taxes for any Pre-Distribution Period
imposed on Premark, Tupperware or their respective Affiliates, but only to
the extent such Taxes arise from the income, profits, or transactions of,
or are otherwise attributable to, Premark or any member of the Premark
Group; and
-4-
(2) all United States Federal Taxes imposed on, or with respect to,
Premark and its Affiliates for any Post-Distribution Period.
(b) Subject to Sections 2.04 and 2.05, Tupperware and its Affiliates
shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold Premark and the Premark
Group harmless from:
(1) any United States Federal Taxes for any Pre-Distribution Period
imposed on Premark, Tupperware or their respective Affiliates, but only to
the extent such Taxes arise from the income, profits, or transactions of,
or are otherwise attributable to, Tupperware or any member of the
Tupperware Group; and
(2) all United States Federal Taxes imposed on, or with respect to,
Tupperware and its Affiliates for any Post-Distribution Period.
(c) For purposes of this Section 2.01, if, as a result of any Tax
Contest, there is any redetermination of United States Federal Taxes on a
consolidated basis for any Pre-Distribution Period, the determination of
whether additional United States Federal Taxes imposed on Premark or
Tupperware (or their respective Affiliates) for any Pre-Distribution Period
shall be deemed to arise from the income, profits or transactions of, or
are otherwise attributable to, Premark or Tupperware (or their respective
Affiliates), shall be made pursuant to the following principles:
(1) Each party shall compute the difference between (A) the recomputed
consolidated federal tax liability for each Pre-Distribution Period
affected, taking into account solely those adjustments which relate to or
arise out of the income, profits or activities of such party or its
Affiliates, and (B) the consolidated federal tax liability of the
consolidated group for such Tax Period based on the Tax Return as
originally filed (the difference between (A) and (B) shall be referred to
herein as a party's "Tax Adjustment").
(2) If each party's Tax Adjustment for the Tax Period is greater than
or equal to zero, each party shall then be liable for that portion of
additional Taxes equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the additional
Taxes by a percentage equal to such party's Tax Adjustment divided by the
aggregate Tax Adjustment of the parties.
(3) If one party's Tax Adjustment for the Tax Period is greater than
zero (the "Liable Party") and the other party's Tax Adjustment for the Tax
Period is less than zero (the "Other Party"), the Liable Party shall be
responsible for all of the additional Taxes owed for such Tax Period. In
addition, the Liable Party shall make an Indemnification Payment to the
Other Party equal to the Other Party's Tax Adjustment for such Tax Period
(for this purpose, the Tax Adjustment of the Other Party shall be deemed to
be positive); provided, however, that such Indemnification Payment shall
not exceed the amount by which the Liable Party's Tax Adjustment exceeds
the additional Taxes for the Tax Period. Further, the Other Party shall be
entitled to any refund received in respect of such Tax Period.
(4) If each party's Tax Adjustment for the Tax Period is less than or
equal to zero, each party shall be entitled to that portion of any refund
received in respect of such Tax Period equal to the amount obtained by
multiplying the amount of the refund by a percentage equal to such party's
Tax Adjustment divided by the aggregate Tax Adjustment of the parties.
2.02 State Tax Liabilities. Subject to sections 2.04 and 2.05, each party's
---------------------
liability for State Taxes shall be determined under this Section 2.02.
(a) Premark and its Affiliates shall be liable for, and shall indemnify
and hold Tupperware and the Tupperware Group harmless from, the following
State Taxes:
(1) in the case of any Pre-Distribution Period: (A) any State Taxes
imposed with respect to a separate Tax Return filed by Premark or any member
of the Premark Group for such Tax Period, and (B) with respect to any joint,
combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Return filed for such Tax Period, any
State Taxes for
-5-
such Tax Period, whether imposed on Premark or Tupperware (or their respective
Affiliates), but only to the extent such Taxes arise from the income, profits,
or transactions of, or are otherwise attributable to, Premark or any member of
the Premark Group; and
(2) any State Taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Premark or any
member of the Premark Group for any Post-Distribution Period.
(b) Tupperware and its Affiliates shall be liable for, and shall indemnify
and hold Premark and the Premark Group harmless from, the following State
Taxes:
(l) in the case of any Pre-Distribution Period: (A) any State Taxes
imposed with respect to a separate Tax Return filed by Tupperware or any
member of the Tupperware Group for such Tax Period, and (B) with respect any
joint, combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Return filed for such Tax Period,
any State Taxes for such Tax Period, whether imposed on Premark or Tupperware
(or their respective Affiliates), but only to the extent such Taxes arise from
the income, profits, or transactions of, or are otherwise attributable to,
Tupperware or any member of the Tupperware Group; and
(2) any State Taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Tupperware or any
member of the Tupperware Group for any Post-Distribution Period.
(c) For purposes of Section 2.02(a)(1)(B) and 2.02(b)(1)(B) hereof, the
determination of whether additional State Taxes for any Pre-Distribution
Period shall be deemed to arise from the income, profits or transactions of,
or to otherwise be attributable to, a party, shall be made pursuant to the
following principles:
(1) Each party shall compute the difference between (A) the recomputed
net taxable income (computed in accordance with the rules applied by the state
in question) for each Pre-Distribution Period affected, and (B) the net
taxable income of its Group for such Tax Period based on the State Tax Return
as originally filed (the difference between (A) and (B) shall be referred to
herein as a party's "State Tax Adjustment").
(2) If each party's State Tax Adjustment for the Tax Period is greater
than or equal to zero, each party shall then be liable for that portion of
additional Taxes equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the additional
State Taxes by a percentage equal to such party's State Tax Adjustment divided
by the aggregate State Tax Adjustment of the parties.
(3) If one party's State Tax Adjustment for the Tax Period is greater
than zero and the other party's State Tax Adjustment for the Tax Period is
less than zero, the liable party shall be responsible for all of the
additional Taxes owed for such Tax Period (provided, however, that such party
shall not be liable for making any payment to the other party in respect of
such other party's negative State Tax Adjustment). In addition, the other
party shall be entitled to any refund received in respect of such Tax Period.
(4) If each party's State Tax Adjustment for the Tax Period is less than
or equal to zero, each party shall be entitled to that portion of any refund
received in respect of such Tax Period equal to the amount obtained by
multiplying the amount of the refund by a percentage equal to such party's
State Tax Adjustment divided by the aggregate State Tax Adjustment of the
parties.
(d) For purposes of determining liability for State Taxes under this
Section 2.02, for any Pre-Distribution Period during which the assets and
business of Wilsonart International, Inc. or the West Bend Company constituted
a division of Dart Industries Inc., Wilsonart International, Inc. and The West
Bend Company shall be treated as separate entities included within the Premark
Group.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, with respect to any
State franchise Tax that is due and payable after the Cutoff Date, the party
legally responsible for filing the Return on which such Tax is reported shall
be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless from,
such Tax.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, with respect to any
joint, combined, consolidated or unitary State Tax Return for any Pre-
Distribution Period, if Premark or Tupperware (or any of their respective
-6-
Affiliates) is required to file an amended Return (or Returns) on a separate
company basis, each Person filing such a separate Return shall be liable for,
and shall hold the other parties to this Agreement harmless from, any Taxes
owed with respect to such separate Return (or Returns).

transactions of, or to otherwise be attributable to, a party, shall be made in
the same manner as provided in Section 2.01(c) hereof.
(b) The parties hereby agree that (i) the distribution by Wavebest
Limited, a U.K. corporation, of the stock of DILHC (as such corporation is
defined in the Distribution Agreement) to Dart Industries Inc., and (ii) the
distribution by Dart Industries Inc. of Wavebest Limited to Premark, pursuant
to the Transaction Steps, shall be reported for United States federal income
Tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Temp. Reg. Section 7.367(b)-
10(d). For this purpose, the fair market value of Wavebest Limited, DILHC,
Dart Industries Inc. and their subsidiaries shall be determined based on the
historic earnings of each such company.
2.04 Restructuring Taxes.
-------------------
(a) Except as otherwise provided below in Sections 2.04(b) and 2.04(c), in
the case of any Restructuring Taxes, Premark and its Affiliates shall be
liable for, and shall indemnify and hold Tupperware and the Tupperware Group
harmless from, 45% of such Tax and Tupperware and its Affiliates shall be
liable for, and shall indemnify and hold Premark and the Premark Group
harmless from, 55% of such Tax (provided, however, that in the case of any
deemed Restructuring Tax computed in accordance with the last sentence of the
definition of Restructuring Tax in Article I hereof, the party responsible for
filing the Tax Return to which such Restructuring Tax relates shall notify the
other party in writing of the amount of such Restructuring Tax, and the other
party shall pay to the party filing such Return such other party's share of
the deemed Restructuring Tax within 30 days of the due date of the Return to
which such Restructuring Tax relates (without regard to any extension
thereof)).
-7-
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.04, Premark and
its Affiliates shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold Tupperware
and the Tupperware Group harmless from, any Tax resulting from recognition of
the DLC Deferred Gain by reason of one or more of the transactions described
in the Transaction Steps; provided, however, that if the amount of the DLC
Deferred Gain is increased as the result of any Tax Contest, any additional
Tax resulting from such increase shall be treated as a Restructuring Tax and
shall be governed by Section 2.04(a) hereof. For purposes of this Section
2.04(b), the term "DLC Deferred Gain" shall refer to the intercompany gain
realized (and deferred for federal income tax purposes) in connection with the
transfer by Dart Industries Inc. of certain real property located in Osceola
and Orange County Florida to Premark in 1988.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, in the event that either party (or any
Affiliate or employee, officer or director of such party) takes any action
inconsistent with, or fails to take any action required by, the Ruling Request
or the Ruling (or in accordance with the Transaction Steps), then such party
shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold the other party and its
Group harmless from, 100% of the Restructuring Taxes resulting from such
action or failure to act.
2.05 Liability Arising from Prior Tax Sharing Agreement.
--------------------------------------------------
(a) With respect to any liability imposed on or incurred by Premark under
the Tax Sharing Agreement by and between Dart & Kraft, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("DKI") and Premark, dated September 4, 1986 (the "Kraft
Agreement"), Tupperware and its Affiliates shall indemnify and hold Premark
and the Premark Group harmless from any liability arising from the income,
profits, or transactions of, or otherwise attributable to, Tupperware or any
member of the Tupperware Group. Notwithstanding the above, Premark shall be
liable to Kraft for all interest owing under the Kraft Agreement, in
accordance with the terms thereof, and Tupperware shall not be liable to
indemnify Premark for any such interest. For purposes of this Section 2.05,
the determination of whether any liability imposed on or incurred by Premark
arose from the income, profits or transactions of, or was otherwise
attributable to, Tupperware or any member of the Tupperware Group shall be
made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.01(c) hereof. In addition,
for purposes of determining Tupperware's liability under this Section 2.05,
Wilsonart International, Inc., and The West Bend Company shall be treated as
included within the Premark Group, and any liability otherwise attributable to
Dart Industries Inc. shall be apportioned between Tupperware and Premark in
the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(d).
(b) Premark and Tupperware hereby agree that it is their mutual intention
that Premark, as a signatory to the Kraft Agreement, shall have primarily
responsibility, subject to any limitations contained in this Section 2.05, for
any dealings or negotiations with DKI with respect to the Kraft Agreement;
including, without limitation, the payment to DKI of any amounts owing under
the Kraft Agreement (including any interest thereon) as well as the receipt of
any amounts payable by DKI (including any interest thereon) under the Kraft
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby agree that
Tupperware shall have the right to participate fully in any negotiations or
other dealings which could affect Tupperware's liability (or entitlement to
payment) under the Kraft Agreement. Premark hereby agrees that, with respect
to any issue which involves or could involve Tupperware's liability to Premark
under this Section 2.05, Premark shall not have the right to settle such issue
without the prior consent of Tupperware (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that if Premark desires to settle
such issue on specified terms and Tupperware refuses to consent to settlement
on such terms, Tupperware shall indemnify Premark from and against any outcome
less favorable than the settlement which Premark was willing to accept. With
respect to any matter arising under the Kraft Agreement, each of Tupperware
and Premark hereby agrees that it shall not participate in the negotiation,
settlement or other resolution of such matter in a manner discriminating
against the other party's interests under the Kraft Agreement.
(c) Premark and Tupperware hereby agree that any payment owed by DKI to
Premark under the Kraft Agreement resulting from the carryback of net
operating losses from Tax Period(s) ending December 27, 1986,
-8-
including any interest owed thereon (the "DKI Refund") shall be applied
against the aggregate amount, if any, owed by Premark and Tupperware to DKI
under the Kraft Agreement, excluding any interest owed thereon (the "DKI
Liability") as follows:
(i) The DKI Liability shall first be reduced (without regard to the
extent to which such liability is attributable to items relating to Premark or
Tupperware) by the amount of the DKI Refund; and
(ii) Any remaining DKI Liability (or excess DKI Refund) shall then be
allocated to each of Premark and Tupperware in proportion to each party's
respective share of the DKI Liability (applying the principles of Section
2.05(a) hereof).

3.01 General. Except as otherwise provided in this Article III, Tax Returns
-------
shall be prepared and filed by the Person liable for the Tax reported on such
Tax Return, or otherwise obligated to file such Return, under the Code or
other applicable Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the party responsible

the Premark Group and the Tupperware Group have liability under Article II
hereof (including, without limitation, Premark's consolidated federal income
Tax Return for the Tax Period in which the Distribution occurs) shall be
prepared by and filed by Premark. In furtherance of, and not by limitation of,
the cooperation and assistance required by Section 6.02, Tupperware shall, in
connection with any Tax Return for United States federal income Taxes for any
Pre-Distribution Period filed after the Distribution Date for which Premark
has filing responsibility under this Agreement and which reflects income or

Affiliates for the Tax Period, together with all accompanying workpapers and
other computations of the consolidated federal income Tax liability of
Tupperware and its Affiliates, (ii) true and correct separate federal income
Tax Returns for Tupperware and each of its Affiliates, together with all
accompanying workpapers and other computations of separate federal income Tax
liability for Tupperware and each of its Affiliates; and (iii) a true and
correct reconciliation of book income to federal taxable income for Tupperware
and each of its Affiliates. Tupperware and each of its Affiliates shall
certify, under penalties of perjury, that any and all information provided

to the Tax Period ending on December 30, 1995, Tupperware hereby agrees to
provide Premark with all such Returns, workpapers and computations on or
before July 15, 1996. With respect to the Tax Period ending on December 28,
1996, Tupperware hereby agrees to provide Premark with all such Returns,
workpapers and computations on or before, June 30, 1997. If Tupperware fails
to provide any information required by this Section 3.02 within the time frame
specified herein, Premark may file the applicable Returns based on the
information available at the time such Returns are due and Tupperware shall be
liable for, and shall indemnify Premark and its Affiliates from, all Taxes or
other costs imposed on or with respect to Premark or Tupperware (and their
respective Affiliates) as a result of Tupperware's failure to provide such
information. In addition, with respect to any information required to be
provided by Tupperware or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 3.02, (1)
Premark shall utilize such information in the preparation of the appropriate
Returns, as provided by Tupperware or its Affiliates, except to the extent (a)
Tupperware provides its prior written consent to any change in such
information, or (b) Premark determines in good faith that such information is
inaccurate or incomplete in
-9-
a material respect, and (2) Tupperware and its Affiliates agree to indemnify
and hold Premark and its Affiliates harmless from and against any cost, fine,
penalty or other expense of any kind attributable to the misconduct or
negligence of Tupperware or its Affiliates in supplying Premark with
inaccurate or incomplete information.
(b) Any Tax Returns for State Taxes for any Pre-Distribution Period which
reflect Taxes for which one or more members of the Premark Group and the
Tupperware Group have liability under Article II hereof, shall be prepared and
filed by Premark (except as otherwise provided on Schedule I attached hereto).
The final five sentences of Section 3.02(a) hereof shall apply mutatis
-------
mutandis to all State Tax Returns for any Pre-Distribution Period that Premark

must prepare and/or file under this Agreement that is measured by income and
that includes any income or transactions attributable to Tupperware or any
member of the Tupperware Group.
(c) Any Tax Returns for Foreign Taxes for any Pre-Distribution Period
which reflect Taxes for which one or more members of both the Premark Group
and the Tupperware Group have liability under Article II hereof, shall be
prepared and filed by Premark (except as otherwise provided on Schedule I
attached hereto). The final five sentences of Section 3.02(a) hereof shall
apply mutatis mutandis to all Foreign Tax Returns measured by income filed for
------- --------
any Pre-Distribution Period that includes any income or transactions
attributable to Tupperware or any member of the Tupperware Group for which
Premark has filing responsibility.
3.03 Method of Pro Ration For Straddle Periods. In the case of any Straddle
-----------------------------------------
Period relating to Premark, Tupperware or their respective Affiliates, unless
the books of such Person are closed on the Distribution Date, Taxes shall be
apportioned for purposes of Article II, between Pre-Distribution and Post-
Distribution Periods, as follows: First, Taxes for Tax Periods or portions
thereof ending on the last day of the calendar month preceding the
Distribution Date (such date is hereinafter referred to as the "Cutoff Date")
shall be based on actual events and activities through the Cutoff Date and in
accordance with past accounting practices. Second, Taxes for the Tax Period
from the Cutoff Date through the Distribution Date shall be computed by
prorating the activities of the calendar month which includes the Distribution
Date on a daily pro rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
--- ----
this Section 3.03, (i) depreciation, amortization and depletion for any
Straddle Period shall be apportioned on a daily pro rata basis and (ii)
--- ----
extraordinary items not arising in the ordinary course of business shall be
apportioned to the Tax Period in which the event giving rise to such item
occurs.
3.04 Tax Accounting Practices. Any Straddle Period Returns prepared by one
------------------------
or more members of the Premark Group, or one or more members of the Tupperware
Group, as the case may be (the "Preparing Party"), shall be prepared in
accordance with past Tax accounting practices used with respect to the Returns
in question (unless such past practices are no longer permissible under the
Code or other applicable Laws), and to the extent any items are not covered by
past practices (or in the event such past practices are no longer permissible
under the Code or other applicable Laws), in accordance with reasonable Tax
accounting practices selected by the Preparing Party (except that accounting
elections and determinations shall be made, where reasonably possible, in a
manner that minimizes the net Tax incurred by the other party and its
Affiliates). In the event the Preparing Party files Tax Returns for Straddle
Periods inconsistently with such past Tax accounting practices, then,
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in addition
to any other remedies available, the other party and its Affiliates shall only
be responsible for the amount of Taxes they would owe if such Tax Returns had
been filed consistently with such past Tax accounting practices.
3.05 Right to Review Returns. Upon the request of either party, the other
-----------------------
party shall make available for inspection and copying all Tax Returns (and
related workpapers) with respect to Taxes to the extent that (i) such Return
relates to Taxes for which the requesting party may be liable under this
Agreement, (ii) such Return relates to Taxes for which the requesting party
may have a claim for Tax Benefits hereunder, or (iii) the requesting party
reasonably determines that it must inspect such Return to confirm compliance
with the terms of this Agreement. Premark and Tupperware shall attempt in good
faith to resolve any issues arising out of the review of such Returns.

ARTICLE IV
TAX REFUNDS, CARRYOVERS AND CARRYBACKS
4.01 Refunds.
-------
(a) In the case of any separate Tax Return filed by Premark, Tupperware
or their respective Affiliates for a Pre-Distribution Period, the Person
that filed such Tax Return shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes with
respect to such Return.
(b) Subject to Section 4.02, any refund of Taxes with respect to a
joint, combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Return for any Pre-
Distribution Period shall be allocated between the Premark Group and the
Tupperware Group in accordance with the principles in Sections 2.01(c) or
2.02(c) as applicable; provided, however:
(1) Premark and its Affiliates shall be entitled to any refund of
United States federal income Taxes attributable to the carryback of United
States foreign tax credits arising out of the 1995 sale/leaseback
transaction between Dart Industries Belgium N.V. and Premark Gmbh entered
into on ______, 1995 (the "Belgium Transaction"); and
(2) Tupperware shall be entitled to any refund of [statutory
reference to Belgium, France and German value added Taxes] paid in
connection with the Belgium Transaction; and
(3) Premark shall be entitled to the return or refund of any amounts
deposited with (including any cash bond delivered to) the United States
Government (or any agency thereof) in connection with the payment of United
States federal Taxes, together with any interest payable thereon; and
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, with respect to any
refund or credit for overpayment of any estimated taxes for any Tax Period
ending in 1995 or 1996, the Person that filed the Tax Return to which the
refund or credit for overpayment relates shall be entitled to the refund or
credit for overpayment.
(d) If any amounts become payable under this Section 4.01, the Person
obligated to make such payment shall notify the Person entitled to receive
such payment within 30 days after receipt of the refund or credit for
overpayment and shall remit the amount of the refund to such Person within
30 days after such receipt.
4.02 Carryovers and Carrybacks.
-------------------------
(a) In the event Tupperware or any other member of the Tupperware Group
desires to carry back a loss or other Tax attribute arising after the
Distribution Date (excluding, however, any Carryback described in Section
4.01(b)(1)) (the "Tupperware Carryback") to a Pre-Distribution Period,
Tupperware shall notify Premark in writing of its intent to carry back such
item (and to forego any election to waive such Carryback). Such notification
shall include a certification by an appropriate officer of Tupperware setting
forth Tupperware's belief, based on a thorough examination of the facts and
law relating to the tax treatment of such item, that the tax treatment of such
item is supported by "substantial authority" within the meaning of Section
6662 of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder).
Promptly upon its receipt of such notification, Premark shall notify
Tupperware, in writing, as to whether Premark believes that the filing of the
Tupperware Carryback will result in any Deemed Tax Reduction under Section
4.02(c) and if so, Premark shall provide information to Tupperware pertaining
to the amount of such Deemed Tax Reduction and the computation thereof.
Premark shall cooperate with Tupperware in connection with the filing and
processing of any Tupperware Carryback and shall provide Tupperware with
copies of all correspondence in connection therewith.
(b) Subject to Section 4.02(c), if, pursuant to the terms of Section
4.02(a) hereof, Tupperware elects to carry back a loss or other Tax attribute
to a Pre-Distribution Period, Premark shall be obligated to make a payment to
Tupperware equal to the amount by which the Taxes imposed on the Premark Group
for such Pre-Distribution Period have been reduced as a result of utilization
of the Tupperware Carryback (the "Premark Tax Reduction").
-11-
(c) For purposes of computing the amount of the Premark Tax Reduction, if,
in the absence of the Tupperware Carryback, losses or other Tax attributes of
Premark or its Affiliates would have resulted in a reduction of Taxes of the
Premark Group for such Period (the "Deemed Tax Reduction"), the amount of the
Premark Tax Reduction shall be reduced by the amount of the Deemed Tax
Reduction. In the event any losses or other Tax attributes of Premark which
are taken into account in computing a Deemed Tax Reduction are subsequently
utilized by the Premark Group to reduce Taxes in a future Tax Period, Premark
shall be obligated to pay to Tupperware the amount of such subsequent Tax
reduction (provided that the aggregate amount of payments to Tupperware with
respect to any Tupperware Carryback shall not exceed the Premark Tax Reduction
computed without regard to the first sentence of this Section 4.02(c)).
(d) If Premark is required to make a payment to Tupperware with respect to
any Tupperware Carryback under this Section 4.02(b), Premark shall have the
option, in its sole and absolute discretion, of (i) making such payment within
30 days of receiving the Tax refund attributable to such Tupperware Carryback,
or (ii) making such payment not later than 30 days of the date on which the
statutory period (under the Code of other applicable law) for examining the
Return on which such Tupperware Carryback was claimed has expired (provided,
such payment shall bear interest at the Prime Rate for the period commencing
30 days from the date of receipt of such refund and ending on the date of such
payment).

5.01 Payment of Consolidated Federal Income Tax for Pre-Distribution
---------------------------------------------------------------
Periods. Premark shall pay all Taxes due (or shall receive all refunds) in
- -------
connection with the filing of Premark's consolidated federal income Tax Return
for (i) the Tax Period ending on December 30, 1995 (the "1995 Fiscal Year"),
and (ii) the Tax Period ending on December 28, 1996 (the "1996 Fiscal Year").
Premark and Tupperware shall make payments to one another in respect of the
consolidated federal income Tax liability shown on such Tax Returns as
determined and at the times set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) below as
applicable:
(a) If the consolidated federal income Tax Return for the 1995 Fiscal Year
has not been filed on the Distribution Date, immediately before the
Distribution, the parties shall compute the amount of Tupperware's share of
the consolidated federal income Tax liability for such Tax Period (the
"Tupperware 1995 Estimated Tax") (or the amount of the net tax benefit
realized by Premark as a result of utilization of Tupperware's losses or
credits for such Tax Period) (the "1995 Tupperware Estimated Tax Benefit"),
determined as if the Tupperware Group were a separate group of companies
filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return (but taking into account
Premark's ability to utilize any net losses or credits of Tupperware for such
Tax Period).
In addition, immediately prior to the due date for filing Premark's
consolidated federal income Tax Return for the 1995 Fiscal Year (taking into
account any extension of time for filing that Premark requests and is
granted), the parties shall compute, applying the principles set forth in the
first sentence of this paragraph (a) of this Section 5.01 and based on the
information contained in the federal consolidated income Tax Return for the
1995 Fiscal Year, Tupperware's share of the consolidated federal income Tax
liability for the 1995 Fiscal Year (the "Tupperware 1995 Final Tax") (or the
amount of the net tax benefit realized by Premark as a result of Tupperware's
losses or credits for such Tax Period) (the "Tupperware 1995 Final Tax
Benefit"). If either (1) the Tupperware 1995 Final Tax exceeds the Tupperware
1995 Estimated Tax, and/or (2) the Tupperware 1995 Estimated Tax Benefit
exceeds the Tupperware 1995 Final Tax Benefit, Tupperware shall pay such
excess to
- --------
1 Note, this provision assumes that the Tax Return for the fiscal year ended
in 1995 will not have been filed and Taxes will not have been paid prior to
the Distribution Date. If the return is filed and the Taxes are paid prior to
the Distribution Date, the reference to the 1995 Fiscal Year should be
removed.
-12-
Premark immediately prior to the due date for filing Premark's consolidated
federal income Tax Return for the 1995 Fiscal Year. Conversely, if either (1)
the Tupperware 1995 Estimated Tax exceeds the Tupperware 1995 Final Tax and/or
(2) the Tupperware 1995 Final Tax Benefit exceeds the Tupperware 1995
Estimated Tax Benefit, Premark shall pay such excess to Tupperware immediately
prior to the due date for filing Premark's consolidated federal income Tax
Return for the 1995 Fiscal Year.
(b) With respect to the consolidated federal income Tax Return for the
1996 Fiscal Year, immediately before the Distribution, and immediately before
Premark's consolidated federal income Tax Return for the 1996 Fiscal Year is
due (taking into account any extension of time for filing that Premark
requests and is granted), Tupperware shall make payments to Premark (or
Premark shall make payments to Tupperware) of amounts which shall, in each
case, be determined with the principles applied mutatis mutandis, set forth in
------- --------
Section 5.01(a) of the Agreement.
5.02 Payment of State and Foreign Taxes for Which Premark has Filing
---------------------------------------------------------------
Responsibility. Premark shall pay to the appropriate Tax Authority all State
- --------------
and Foreign Taxes for Tax Returns with respect to which Premark (or another
member of the Premark Group) has filing responsibility pursuant to Article III
of this Agreement. Immediately prior to the Distribution and immediately
before such Return is due (taking into account any extension of time for
filing that Premark requests and is granted), or immediately after receipt of
any refund, Tupperware shall make payments to Premark (or Premark shall make
payments to Tupperware) of amounts which shall, in each case, be determined in
accordance with the principles, applied mutatis mutandis, set forth in Section
5.01 of the Agreement.
5.03 Payment of State and Foreign Taxes for Which Tupperware has Filing
------------------------------------------------------------------
Responsibility. Tupperware shall pay to the appropriate Tax Authority all
- --------------
State and Foreign Taxes for Tax Returns with respect to which Tupperware (or
another member of the Tupperware Group) has filing responsibility pursuant to
Article III of this Agreement. Immediately prior to the Distribution and
immediately before the time such Return is due (taking into account any
extension of time for filing that Tupperware requests and is granted), or
immediately after receipt of any refund, Premark shall make payments to
Tupperware (or Tupperware shall make payments to Premark) of amounts which
shall, in each case, be determined in accordance with the principles, applied
mutatis mutandis, set forth in Section 5.01 of the Agreement.
5.04 State Tax Returns for 1986 through 1990. Without in any manner limiting
---------------------------------------
Sections 5.02 and 5.03 hereof, the parties hereby agree that, with respect to
any amended State Tax Return filed to reflect final audit adjustments to the
consolidated federal income Tax Return of the Premark Group for the Periods
ending December 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990, Premark and Tupperware shall
each be liable for, and shall pay, the portion of any additional Tax liability
reflected on such amended return attributable to such party (applying the
principles of Section 2.02(c) hereof).
5.05 Indemnification Payments.
------------------------
(a) Upon payment of any Taxes with respect to which a party is entitled to
receive indemnification hereunder, such party (the "Indemnified Party") shall
send the other party (the "Indemnifying Party") an invoice accompanied by
evidence of payment and a statement detailing the Taxes paid and describing in
reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. The Indemnifying Party (or
such one or more members of the Indemnifying Party's Group as it shall
nominate) shall remit payment for Taxes for which the Indemnifying Party is
liable for indemnification hereunder to the Indemnified Party (or such one or
more members of the Indemnified Party's Group as it shall nominate) within 30
days of receipt of such invoice, evidence of payment and statement, or at any
earlier time identified by the Indemnifying Party.
(b) If any Indemnified Party realizes a Tax Benefit or a Tax detriment in
one or more Tax Periods by reason of having incurred any Tax for which such
Indemnified Party receives indemnification hereunder, then such Indemnified
Party shall pay to such Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the Tax Benefit
or such Indemnifying Party shall pay to such Indemnified Party an additional
amount equal to the Tax detriment (taking
-13-
into account any Tax detriment resulting from the receipt of such additional
amounts), as the case may be. The amount of any Tax Benefit or any Tax
detriment for a Tax Period realized by an Indemnified Party by reason of
having incurred a Tax for which such Indemnified Party received
indemnification hereunder shall be deemed to equal the product obtained by
multiplying (i) the amount of any deduction or inclusion in income for such
period resulting from such Tax or the payment thereof, as the case may be, by
(ii) the highest applicable marginal Tax rate for such Period. Any payment due
under this Section 5.05(b) with respect to a Tax benefit or Tax detriment
realized by an Indemnified Party in a Tax Period shall be due and payable
within 30 days from the time the Return for such Tax Period is due, without
taking into account any extension of time granted to the party filing such
Return.

information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in
reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice or other

which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such party fails to give the
indemnifying party notice of such asserted Tax liability within 30 days after
it has received written notice thereof, then, unless such failure has no

indemnify the indemnified party for any Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax
liability.

7.02 Control of Audits and Appeals.

(a) Separate Contests. Any Separate Contest shall be controlled solely by
-----------------
the party involved in the Tax Contest.
(b) Joint Contests.
--------------
(1) With respect to any Joint Contest, the party that filed the Return
shall control the proceeding. The personnel and outside advisers (including
counsel) of the party not controlling the proceeding may shall participate,
at the expense of such party, in the proceeding to the extent such
proceeding relates to items or adjustments for which such party may incur
indemnity liability under this Agreement. Such participation shall include:

to matters described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), participation
in the submission and determination of content of documentation, protests,
memoranda of fact and law and briefs, the conduct of oral arguments or
presentations, the selection of witnesses and the negotiation of
stipulations of fact in such matters. Such participation may be reflected
by the grant of appropriate powers of attorney. The party granting such
power of attorney (the "Granting Party") shall have the right to revoke the
power of attorney if the Granting Party reasonably determines that the
other party's (the "Participating Party") actions or failure to act, in the
proceeding has resulted, or can be reasonably expected to result, in the
hindrance or delay of any resolution or settlement of the proceeding. In
the event the Participating Party fails to timely and fully participate in
any proceeding to the extent to which such proceeding relates to items or
adjustments for which the Participating Party has indemnity liability under
this Agreement, the Participating Party shall be liable for, in addition to
all Taxes for which the Participating Party shall be liable under this
Agreement, any and all costs imposed on, or incurred by, the Granting Party
as a result of the Participating Party's failure to participate. The
revocation of any power of attorney under this Section 7.02 shall in no way
limit the Participating Party's indemnity liability under this Agreement.
(2) Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate in seeking an
agreement with the Service or any other Tax authority under which such
authority would conduct separate audits of Premark and Tupperware with
respect to returns including both parties. To the extent permitted by such
an Agreement, each party would control its separate audits in accordance
with the terms thereof, and the procedures provided in the remainder of
this Section 7.02(b) and in Section 7.03 hereof shall not apply.
7.03 Consent to Settlements in Joint Contests.
----------------------------------------
(a) With respect to any Joint Contest, neither party shall have the right
to accept or enter into the settlement of any Tax liability, or compromise any
Tax claim to the extent such liability or claim relates to an item for which
the other party has indemnity liability hereunder, without the prior written
consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(b) In the case of any Joint Contest, either party (the "Compromising
Party"), without the consent or permission of the other party (the "Non-
Compromising Party"), may, if permitted by the appropriate agency or tribunal,
accept or enter into the settlement of any Tax liability to the extent such
liability relates solely to items for which such party has indemnity liability
hereunder. In the event the Non-Compromising Party's refusal to settle its
portion of the contest prevents the Compromising Party from reaching a
settlement as to its portion of the contest, the Non-Compromising Party shall
indemnify the Compromising Party from and against any outcome less favorable
than the settlement which the Compromising Party was willing to accept. With
respect to any Joint Contest, each of Tupperware and Premark hereby agrees
that it shall not participate in the negotiation, settlement or other
resolution of any item at issue in such Joint Contest in a manner
discriminating against the other party's interests in such contest.
-15-
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the
event the judgment of the United States Tax Court or other court of competent
jurisdiction results in an adverse determination with respect to the liability
of either party hereunder, such party shall have the right (at its own
expense) to appeal such adverse determination; provided, however, that the
second sentence of Section 7.03(b) shall apply for purposes of determining the
liability of any non-appealing party hereunder.
7.04 Expenses.
--------
(a) With respect to any Separate Contest, the party involved in such
contest shall bear all expenses related thereto.
(b) With respect to any Joint Contest, except as otherwise provided
herein, the parties shall share any and all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such contest (including without limitation attorneys' fees)
based on each party's potential liability with respect to such contest as
agreed to by the parties at the outset of such contest.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
------------------
8.01 Good-Faith Negotiation.
----------------------
In the event of any dispute or disagreement relating to this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Premark and Tupperware shall
each appoint two members from their respective management staffs to serve on a
joint committee (the "Dispute Resolution Committee"). The Dispute Resolution
Committee shall meet at either Premark or Tupperware's offices, whichever is
more appropriate in view of the issues under consideration, at such reasonable
time as either party may notify the other in writing, for the purpose of
resolving any dispute arising under this Agreement. No dispute arising under
this Agreement shall be the subject of arbitration or other formal proceedings
between the parties hereto unless and until such dispute has been considered
by the Dispute Resolution Committee. If the Dispute Resolution Committee is
unable to resolve any dispute submitted to it by any party hereto within
thirty (30) days of such submission, the Dispute Resolution Committee shall
refer the issue to the Chief Executive Officers of Premark and Tupperware for
their resolution. If such officers are unable to resolve such dispute within
fifteen (15) days after referral, any member of the Dispute Resolution
Committee may refer such dispute to binding arbitration as provided in Section
8.02 hereof. No such dispute shall be subject to arbitration or other formal
proceedings between the parties hereto before being considered by the Dispute
Resolution Committee and the Chief Executive Officers of Premark and
Tupperware.
8.02 Binding Arbitration.
-------------------
(a) Any controversy, dispute or claim (whether in contract or tort)
between the parties arising out of or related to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, shall, after the dispute resolution process
set forth in Section 8.02 has been completed, at the request of any party, be
submitted to arbitration in accordance with this Section 8.02 by notifying the
other party to the dispute of its decision to arbitrate such controversy,
dispute or claim.
(b) Each controversy, dispute or claim submitted by a party to arbitration
shall be heard by an arbitration panel composed of three arbitrators, in
accordance with the following provisions. Premark and Tupperware shall each
appoint one arbitrator (who shall not be an employee, officer or director,
professional consultant (including without limitation outside attorney or
accountant) or otherwise related to the appointing party) within fifteen (15)
days after the matter has been submitted to arbitration. If any party fails to
appoint its arbitrator within such fifteen (15) day period, any party may
apply to the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") to appoint an
arbitrator on behalf of the party that has failed to appoint its arbitrator.
The two arbitrators appointed by, or on behalf of, the parties shall jointly
appoint a third arbitrator who shall chair the
-16-
arbitration panel (the "Chairman"). If the arbitrators appointed by, or on
behalf of, the parties do not succeed in appointing a Chairman within fifteen
(15) days of the latter of the two arbitrators appointed by, or on behalf of,
the parties has been appointed, the Chairman shall, at the request of either
party, be appointed by the AAA. If for any reason an arbitrator is unable to
perform his or her function, he or she shall be replaced and a substitute
shall be appointed in the same manner as the arbitrator replaced.
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, arbitration proceedings shall be
conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. In
any arbitration proceeding hereunder: (i) proceedings shall, unless otherwise
agreed by the parties, be held in Orlando, Florida; (ii) the arbitration panel
shall have no power to award punitive damages and shall be bound by all
statutes of limitation which would otherwise be applicable in a judicial
action brought by a party; and (iii) the decision of a majority of the
arbitrators (or the Chairman if there is no such majority) shall be final and
binding on the parties to this Agreement and shall be enforceable in any court
of competent jurisdiction. The parties hereby waive any rights to appeal or to
review of such decision by any court or tribunal and also waive any objections
to such enforcement. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY
JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM SUBMITTED TO
ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
(d) Notice preliminary to, in conjunction with, or incident to any
arbitration proceeding may be sent to the parties by registered or certified
mail (return receipt requested) at the address set forth in Section 9.08
hereof and personal service is hereby waived. The arbitrators shall award
recovery of all costs and fees incurred in connection with the arbitration and
the proceeding, and obtaining any judgment related thereto, of each disputed
matter (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses and arbitrator's
fees and expenses and court costs) in each case, with respect to such disputed
matter, to the party that substantially prevails in the arbitration proceeding
with respect to such disputed matter.
(e) No provision of this Section 8.02 shall limit the right of any party
to this Agreement to exercise self-help remedies such as set-off, or obtaining
provisional, equitable or ancillary remedies from a court of competent
jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of any arbitration or other
proceeding. The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right of either party
to resort to arbitration.
ARTICLE IX
----------
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS
---------------------
9.01 No Inconsistent Actions. Neither Premark nor Tupperware (nor their
-----------------------
respective Affiliates) shall take any action inconsistent with, nor fail to

Request or the Ruling, unless such party acting has obtained the prior consent
of the other party. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01(b) hereof,
either party (the "Non-Proposing Party") will grant its consent to action
proposed by the other party (the "Proposing Party") if the Proposing Party

Service or other applicable Tax Authority that is reasonably satisfactory, in
form and substance, to the Non-Proposing Party and its tax counsel (except
that the Proposing Party shall not submit any ruling request for the purpose
of complying with the Section 9.01, if the Non-Proposing Party reasonably
determines that filing such request might adversely affect the Non-Proposing
Party), or (2) obtains an opinion from tax counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Non-Proposing Party (both as to choice of counsel and the opinion given).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(a) Conditions to Ruling. Each of the parties hereto represents that
--------------------
neither it (nor any of its Affiliates) has any plan or intention to take any
action which is inconsistent with any factual statements, representations or
other similar conditions contained in the Ruling Request or in the Ruling.
-17-
(b) Continuity of Business Enterprise. Tupperware hereby represents that
---------------------------------
it has no plan or intent to reduce, eliminate or otherwise discontinue the
Convention Center Business (as such term is defined in the Ruling Request).

elimination of the Convention Center Business within the three year Tax Period
beginning on the Distribution Date without the prior written consent of
Premark. Premark hereby represents that is has no plan or intent to reduce,
eliminate or otherwise discontinue the manufacturing business of The Stero
Company, a Delaware corporation, as described in the Ruling Request (the
"Stero Business"). Premark will not take any action which might result in the
contraction or elimination of the Stero Business within the three year Tax
Period beginning on the Distribution Date without the prior written consent of
Tupperware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tupperware or Premark may take any
action described in this Section 9.01(b), provided that such party obtains a
ruling with respect to the proposed action from the Service that is reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the other party and its tax counsel.
(c) Supplement or Amendment to Ruling.
---------------------------------
(1) Neither of the parties shall (A) file any request for a
supplement or amendment to the Ruling, or (B) arrange any "pre-
submission" or similar conference of file any memorandum or other
material relating to any such supplement or amendment, unless the party

other party (the "Other Party"), no later than 10 days in advance of
such filing, or conference, (a) a complete copy of all material to be
filed or submitted, and (b) the opportunity to join in such filing or
conference, at its own expense.
(2) Regardless of whether the Other Party joins in any filing or
conference or other proceeding referred to in paragraph (1) to this
Section 9.01(c), the Filing Party shall:
(A) inform the Other Party promptly regarding any telephone and
in-person conferences with Service personnel regarding such filing
or conference, and
(B) provide to the Other Party copies of (i) all filings or other
correspondence submitted to the Service in connection with such
filing or conference, and (ii) all correspondence from the Service
(including without limitation any supplemental or amendment to the
Ruling), promptly upon receipt.
9.02 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified
--------------------
in any manner whatsoever without the written consent of each of the parties
hereto. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any
covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any
right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute waiver of
any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.
9.03 Tax Allocation Agreements. Immediately prior to the Distribution,
-------------------------
Premark shall cause any and all tax allocation, tax sharing and similar
agreements or arrangements existing between Premark (including its Affiliates)

Tupperware Group, as of an effective date agreed to by the parties prior to
the Distribution Date, and shall cause any amounts due under such agreements
or arrangements to be settled in the manner agreed to by the parties prior to

arrangements shall be made, and all other rights and obligations resulting
from such agreements or arrangements between the parties shall cease as of
such time.
9.04 Entire Agreement; Inconsistent Provisions. The parties agree that this
-----------------------------------------
Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between them in respect of the

VII hereof.
