1.3

Interpretation.

The provisions of this Article 1 are intended to be a general introduction to this Agreement and are not intended to expand the scope of the Parties’ obligations or alter the plain meaning of this Agreement’s terms and conditions, as set forth hereinafter. However, to the extent the terms and conditions of this Agreement are unclear or ambiguous, such terms and conditions are to be construed so as to be consistent with the background and objectives set forth in this Article 1.

1.4

Effectiveness.

The Parties’ obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement with respect to Services shall commence as of the “GroceryCo Start Date” as defined in that certain Amendment No. 90 to the Legacy Agreement (the “Spin-Off Amendment”), as determined pursuant to Section F of such Spin-Off Amendment (including with respect to all Companion Agreements in effect for the Snack Business as of the Start Date under this Agreement).

1.5

Commencement of Services Under this Agreement.

Supplier shall provide the Services set forth in this Agreement from and after the GroceryCo Start Date. Supplement A to this Agreement which sets forth the hosting Services to be provided under this Agreement for Kraft shall also become effective as of the Grocery Start Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the term stated in any Supplement each shall continue without change (e.g., the Term of a novated Supplement will not “reset” upon the GroceryCo Start Date).

2.	DEFINITIONS AND DOCUMENTS

2.1

Definitions.

The terms used with initial capital letters in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Schedule 1.

2.2

Other Terms.

The terms defined in this Article include the plural as well as the singular and the derivatives of such terms. Unless otherwise expressly stated, the words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section, Subsection or other subdivision. Article, Section and Subsection references refer to articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement. The words “include” and “including” shall not be construed as terms of limitation. The words “day,” “month,” and “year” mean, respectively, calendar day, calendar month and calendar year. As stated in Section 21.3, the word “notice” and “notification” and their derivatives shall mean notice or notification in writing. Other terms used in this Agreement are defined in the context in which they are used and shall have the meanings there indicated.

2.3

Framework Approach.

2.3.1

Framework Agreement. The body of this agreement (i.e., the introductory paragraph through Article 21) and all schedules, attachments and exhibits hereto (the “Framework Agreement”) sets forth terms and conditions pursuant to which the Parties may enter into supplementary agreements for the provision of Services.

2.3.2

Supplements and Work Orders. To the extent the Parties desire to enter into an agreement for Supplier to perform Services, the Parties shall execute a supplement to this Framework Agreement, a form for which is set forth in Exhibit 2. Each supplement, together with any schedules, attachments or exhibits thereto and amendments of any of the foregoing, shall be referred to as a “Supplement”. After execution of a Supplement, the Parties may modify the scope or nature of the Services to be provided under such Supplement by executing an amendment referring to such Supplement. Supplements and amendments thereto are not binding on the Parties until fully executed by authorized representatives of each Party.

2.3.3

Relationship of the Framework Agreement and Supplements. For purposes of determining the rights and obligations under a Supplement, the term “Agreement” means, collectively, the Framework Agreement and the Supplements. For all other purposes, the term “Agreement” shall

mean collectively, the MPSA, the Framework Agreement, and the Supplements. All of the terms and conditions of this Framework Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated into each Supplement unless otherwise provided in a particular Supplement or unless, given the context of a particular term or condition, the term or condition is clearly inapplicable to such Supplement. For example, if this Framework Agreement contains a term regarding Service Levels, and a particular Supplement does not contain Service Levels, such term would not apply to such Supplement. The terms and conditions of a particular Supplement (including incorporated Framework Agreement terms and conditions as such may have been modified for such Supplement), apply only to such Supplement unless otherwise expressly provided. Thus, for example, a pricing term in Supplement 1 will not apply to Supplement 2 unless otherwise expressly agreed. However, information in a Schedule to the Framework Agreement, for example, Schedule 8, will apply to all Supplements.

2.3.4

References to a Schedule, Attachment, Exhibit or Appendix includes all subparts of such documents. For example, a reference to Schedule 2.6 will be deemed to include reference to Attachments 2.6-A, 2.6-B, and 2.6-C to Schedule 2.6.

2.4

Companion Agreements.

2.4.1

Operation. The Parties will enter into one or more companion agreements to this Agreement between Eligible Recipients outside of the United States and corresponding Supplier Affiliates in those same countries for the purpose of memorializing the implementation of this Agreement with respect to such Eligible Recipients, compliance with Laws applicable to such Eligible Recipients or otherwise to effect the intent of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to such Eligible Recipients (each, a “Companion Agreement”). All references to this Agreement include all Companion Agreements. Each Companion Agreement will be in form of Exhibit 1, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Kraft and Supplier agree that the execution of Companion Agreements shall in no way limit or reduce the obligations of either Party under this Agreement, including with respect to the provision of Services to any Eligible Recipient, except (i) for provisions in a particular Companion Agreement that are expressly acknowledged to be an amendment to this Agreement for purposes of such Companion Agreement, or (ii) as required by applicable local law.

2.4.2

Enforcement. Kraft and Supplier acknowledge and agree that with respect to each Companion Agreement, Kraft shall be fully responsible and liable for all obligations of the applicable Eligible Recipient, and Supplier shall be fully responsible and liable for all obligations of itself or any Supplier Affiliate or Subcontractor, as may be applicable. Kraft shall have the right to enforce this Agreement (including the terms of all Companion Agreements) on behalf of each Eligible Recipient that enters into a Companion Agreement, and to assert all rights and exercise and receive the benefits of all remedies (including monetary damages) of each such Eligible Recipient, to the same extent as if Kraft were such Eligible Recipient, subject to the limitations of liability applicable under this Agreement. Supplier shall have the right to enforce this Agreement (including the terms of all Companion Agreements) on behalf of each Affiliate or Subcontractor that enters into a Companion Agreement, and to assert all rights and exercise and receive the benefits of all remedies (including monetary damages) of each such Affiliate or Subcontractor hereunder, to the same extent as if Supplier were such Affiliate or Subcontractor, subject to the limitations of liability applicable under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Companion Agreement, any and all disputes arising under or relating to any Companion Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of Article 19, and under no circumstances shall

Kraft or any Eligible Recipient, on the one hand, or Supplier or any Supplier Affiliate or Subcontractor, on the other hand, bring or attempt to bring any claim or other action arising under or relating to any Companion Agreement or this Agreement in any jurisdiction except as provided in Article 19. Any amendment, variation or modification to this Agreement will be binding upon each Supplier Affiliate and each Kraft Affiliate to the extent that the provisions of this Agreement apply (expressly or by implication) to the business arrangements entered into by those parties pursuant to the Companion Agreement, whether such Companion Agreement was entered into before or after the said amendment, variation or modification came into effect.

2.5

Associated Contract Documents.

This Agreement includes each of the following Schedules and Exhibits, all of which are attached to this Agreement and incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. Unless otherwise expressly stated, references to specific Schedules include all numbered subsidiary Schedules (e.g., references to Schedule 1 mean, collectively, Schedule 1 and Schedule 1.1, and references to Schedule 2 mean, collectively, Schedules 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5).

Unless otherwise terminated as set forth in Article 20, this Agreement shall remain in effect from the Effective Date until the second anniversary of the first date on which no Supplement is then in effect between the Parties, and the term for each Supplement (each, a “Term” with respect to such Supplement) shall be as set forth therein, unless such Supplement is terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement.

3.2

Extension.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, no Termination Charges shall be applicable to any termination on or after the expiration of the initial term of the applicable Supplement, unless, during any such extension period, it becomes necessary for Supplier to enter into new commitments (such as refresh of equipment, in order to provide the Services or meet the Service Levels), in which case Termination Charges may be payable with regard to such commitments, provided that Supplier notifies Kraft in advance of such commitments and the associated costs and obtains Kraft’s prior approval thereof, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

4.2

Transition Services.

This Section 4.2 shall only apply if a Supplement specifically refers to Transition Services in its Services description.

4.2.1

Transition. During the Transition Period, Supplier shall perform the Transition Services and provide the deliverables described in the Transition Plan, which will be attached to the applicable Supplement. If any services, functions or responsibilities not specifically described in the Transition Plan are an inherent, necessary or customary part of the Transition Services or are required for the proper performance of the Transition Services in accordance with this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be included within the scope of the Transition Services to be delivered for the transition charges, as if such services, functions or responsibilities were specifically described in the Transition Plan. During the Transition Period, Kraft will perform those tasks which are designated to be Kraft’s responsibility in the Transition Plan, provided that, Kraft shall not be obligated to perform any tasks during the Transition Period that are not set forth in such Transition Plan, other than any services, functions or responsibilities that are an inherent, necessary or a customary part of the designated tasks. Unless otherwise agreed, Kraft shall not incur any charges, fees or expenses payable to Supplier or third parties in connection with the Transition Services, other than those charges, fees and expenses specified in the applicable Supplement and those incurred by Kraft in connection with its performance of tasks designated in the Transition Plan as Kraft’s responsibility. During the Transition Period, Supplier shall confer with Kraft regarding the Deferred Countries and the timetable for Supplier’s assumption of responsibility for the Services originating from such Deferred Countries. In addition, after the Commencement Date and until Supplier’s assumption of responsibility therefor, Supplier shall cooperate and coordinate with Kraft’s management of the services originating from such Deferred Countries so as to coordinate such Services with the Services provided by Supplier during such period.

4.2.2

Initial Transition Plan. The initial Transition Plan will be attached to the applicable Supplement. During the 30 days immediately following the Effective Date, Supplier shall prepare and deliver to Kraft a detailed Transition Plan for Kraft’s review, comment and approval. The proposed detailed Transition Plan shall describe in greater detail the specific transition activities to be performed by Supplier, but, unless otherwise agreed by Kraft, shall be consistent in all respects with the initial Transition Plan, including the activities, deliverables, Transition Milestones and Deliverable Credits described therein and in the applicable Supplement. Supplier shall address and resolve any questions or concerns Kraft may have as to any aspect of the proposed detailed Transition Plan and incorporate any modifications, additions or deletions to such Transition Plan requested by Kraft, to the extent such modifications, additions or deletions are not inconsistent with the Transition Plan set forth in the applicable Supplement. If approved by Kraft, or if Kraft fails within ten business days of receipt of the Transition Plan to provide any comments and Supplier provides Kraft with notice thereof and an additional seven days to provide comments, the detailed Transition Plan shall be appended to and incorporated in the applicable Supplement.

4.2.3

Transition Plan. The detailed Transition Plan shall identify, among other things, (i) the transition activities to be performed by Supplier and the significant components and subcomponents of each such activity for each Eligible Recipient, (ii) the deliverables to be completed by Supplier, (iii) the date(s) by which each such activity or deliverable is to be completed (the “Transition Milestones”), (iv) Supplier’s plans for the hiring and retention of Transitioned Employees, (v) a process and set of standards acceptable to Kraft to which Supplier will adhere in the performance of the Transition Services and that will enable Kraft to determine whether Supplier has successfully completed the transition and the activities and deliverables associated with each Transition Milestone, including measurable success criteria by each Tower that Supplier must meet before transitioning the work any further, (vi) a process for Kraft to delay all or any part of the transition if Kraft determines that any part of the transition poses a risk or hazard to Kraft’s or an Eligible Recipient’s business interests (without any increase in Supplier’s Charges to the extent Kraft’s determination is based on Supplier’s failure to perform satisfactorily its transition obligations), (vii) the contingency or risk mitigation strategies to be employed by Supplier in the event of disruption or delay, (viii) any transition responsibilities to be performed or transition resources to be provided by Kraft or the Eligible Recipients and (ix) a detailed work plan identifying the specific transition activities to be performed by Supplier Personnel (at the individual or team level, as appropriate) on a weekly basis during the Transition Period. The Transition Plan also shall identify any related documents contemplated by the applicable Supplement and/or required to effectuate the transition to be executed by the Parties.

4.2.4

Performance. Supplier shall perform the Transition Services described in the Transition Plan in accordance with the timetable and the Transition Milestones set forth in the Transition Plan. Supplier shall provide all cooperation and assistance reasonably required or requested by Kraft in connection with Kraft’s evaluation or testing of the deliverables set forth in the Transition Plan. Supplier shall perform the Transition Services in a manner that will not (i) disrupt or have an unnecessary adverse impact on the business or operations of Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, (ii) degrade the Services then being received by Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, or (iii) disrupt or interfere with the ability of Kraft or the Eligible Recipients to obtain the full benefit of the Services, except as may be otherwise provided in the Transition Plan. Prior to undertaking any transition activity, Supplier shall discuss with Kraft all known Kraft-specific material risks and shall not proceed with such activity until Kraft is reasonably satisfied with the plans with regard to such risks (provided that, neither Supplier’s disclosure of any such risks to Kraft, nor Kraft’s acquiescence in Supplier’s plans, shall operate or be construed as limiting Supplier’s responsibilities under this Agreement). Supplier shall identify and resolve, with Kraft’s

reasonable assistance, any problems that may impede or delay the timely completion of each task in the Transition Plan that is Supplier’s responsibility and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Kraft with the resolution of any problems that may impede or delay the timely completion of each task in the Transition Plan that is Kraft’s responsibility.

4.2.5

Reports. Supplier shall meet at least weekly with Kraft to report on its progress in performing its responsibilities and meeting the timetable set forth in the Transition Plan. Supplier also shall provide written reports to Kraft at least weekly regarding such matters, and shall provide oral reports more frequently if reasonably requested by Kraft. Promptly upon receiving any information indicating that Supplier may not perform its responsibilities or meet the timetable or Transition Milestones set forth in the Transition Plan, Supplier shall notify Kraft in writing of material delays and shall identify for Kraft’s consideration and reasonable approval specific measures to address such delay and mitigate the risks associated therewith.

4.2.6

Suspension or Delay of Transition Activities. Kraft reserves the right, in its sole discretion and subject to Change Control Procedures, to suspend or delay the performance of the Transition Services and/or the transition of all or any part of the Services. If Kraft elects to exercise this right and Kraft’s decision is based, at least in material part, on reasonable concerns about Supplier’s ability to perform the Services or Supplier’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Kraft shall not incur any additional Charges or reimbursable expenses in connection with such decision. If Kraft’s decision is not based in material part on reasonable concerns about Supplier’s ability to perform the Services or Supplier’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Kraft shall reimburse Supplier for any additional costs reasonably incurred by Supplier as a result of such decision, but only to the extent Supplier notifies Kraft in advance of such costs, obtains Kraft’s approval prior to incurring such costs, and uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such costs. The Parties acknowledge that the Transition Milestones and any Service or Service Levels directly dependent upon achieving those Milestones may be equitably adjusted as a result of Kraft's decision to delay the performance of the Transition Services and/or the transition of all or any part of the Services.

4.2.7

Failure to Meet Transition Milestones. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Transition Plan specifies various Transition Milestones by which Transition activities and/or deliverables are to be completed. Supplier recognizes that its failure to meet the Transition Milestones may have a material adverse impact on the business and operations of Kraft and the Eligible Recipients and that the damages resulting from Supplier’s failure to meet such Transition Milestones are not capable of precise determination. Accordingly, if Supplier fails to meet a Transition Milestone, then, in addition to any other remedies available to Kraft under this Agreement, at law, or in equity, and subject to any exceptions to meeting Service Levels or Transition Milestones set forth in the applicable Supplement, Supplier shall be subject to the imposition of the Deliverable Credits specified in the applicable Supplement for such Transition Milestone, as compensation for Kraft’s damages and not as a penalty. If Kraft recovers other monetary damages from Supplier as a result of Supplier’s failure to meet one or more Transition Milestones, Supplier shall be entitled to set off against such damages any Deliverable Credits paid for the failures giving rise to such recovery. Neither the transition nor the activities and deliverables associated with individual Transition Milestones shall be deemed complete until the Parties have mutually determined that Supplier has successfully completed them in accordance with the process and standards identified in the Transition Plan.

4.2.8

Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kraft may terminate this Agreement for cause if (i) Supplier fails to comply with its obligations with respect to the provision of Transition Services and such failure causes or will cause a material disruption to or otherwise has or will have a material adverse impact on the operations or businesses of Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, and, in the case of a failure that will have a material adverse impact that has not yet occurred, Supplier fails to cure such failure within 15 days after its receipt of notice of such failure or, in the case of a failure that has caused a material adverse impact, Supplier fails to cure such failure within 5 days after its receipt of notice of such failure, (ii) Supplier materially breaches its obligations with respect to the provision of Transition Services and fails to cure such breach within 15 days after its receipt of notice, or (iii) Supplier fails to meet a Transition Milestone and such failure constitutes a material breach of the applicable Supplement and Supplier fails to cure such breach within 15 days after its receipt of notice. In addition, unless otherwise agreed, if Supplier fails to meet the Transition Milestone for the completion of the transition of all Services to Supplier by more than 45 days, Kraft may terminate this Agreement for cause without requirement of notice or opportunity to cure. In all such events, subject to Section 18.3, Kraft may recover the damages suffered by Kraft or the Eligible Recipients in connection with such a termination, provided that, if such termination is based on Supplier’s failure to meet a Transition Milestone, Supplier shall be entitled to set off against such damages any Deliverable Credits Supplier has paid for the failure to meet such Transition Milestone.

4.3

Transformation Services.

This Section 4.3 shall only apply if a Supplement specifically refers to Transformation Services in its Services description.

4.3.1

Transformation. Without limiting any of Supplier’s other obligations hereunder with respect to Technological Evolution, Supplier shall perform the transformational activities and implement the technology and other changes described in the Transformation Plan described in the applicable Supplement. If any services, functions or responsibilities not specifically described in the Transformation Plan are an inherent, necessary or customary part of the Transformation Services or are required for proper performance or provision of the Transformation Services or the completion of the changes described in the Transformation Plan in accordance with this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be included within the scope of the Transformation Services to be delivered without additional charge, as if such services, functions or responsibilities were specifically described in the Transformation Plan. Kraft will perform those tasks which are designated to be Kraft’s responsibility in the Transformation Plan, and any services, functions or responsibilities that are an inherent, necessary or a customary part of the designated tasks. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Kraft shall not incur any charges, fees or expenses payable to Supplier in connection with the transformation, other than those charges, fees and expenses specified in the applicable Supplement and those incurred by Kraft. At Supplier’s request or as specified in the Transformation Plan, Kraft shall provide reasonable cooperation to Supplier in connection with its performance of the Transformation Services.

4.3.2

Transformation Plan. The initial Transformation Plan will be described in the applicable Supplement.

4.3.3

Contents of Transformation Plan. The Transformation Plan shall identify, among other things, (i) the transformational activities to be performed by the Supplier and the changes in technology and business processes to be implemented by Supplier, (ii) the date(s) by which each such activity

or implementation is to be completed (“Transformation Milestones”), (iii) a process and set of standards acceptable to Kraft to which Supplier will adhere in the performance of the transformation and that will enable Kraft to determine whether Supplier has successfully completed the transformation and the activities and deliverables associated with each Transformation Milestone, including measurable success criteria by each Tower that Supplier must meet before transforming the work any further, (iv) providing a process for Kraft to delay Supplier from proceeding with any part of the transformation, either current or future plans, or altering the timing for implementation of parts of the transformation without any increase in Supplier’s Charges, if Kraft reasonably determines that any part of the transformation poses a risk or hazard to Kraft’s or an Eligible Recipient's business interests, (v) the contingency or risk mitigation strategies to be employed by Supplier in the event of disruption or delay, and (vi) any transformational activities to be performed by Kraft or the Eligible Recipients (provided that Kraft and the Eligible Recipients shall not be obligated to perform any transformational activities that are not specifically contemplated by this Agreement and expressly set forth in the Transformation Plan).

4.3.4

Implementation Plan. Within 45 days after the Commencement Date, and thereafter at least 30 days before the end of each calendar year during the Term, Supplier shall deliver to Kraft for Kraft’s review, comment and approval a detailed plan for the implementation of the activities required for the implementation of the Transformation Plan for the succeeding calendar year. In addition, until implementation of the Transformation Plan is completed, Supplier shall deliver to Kraft, at least 30 days before the end of each calendar quarter, a detailed plan, consistent with the annual plan, for the implementation of transformational activities related to the Transformation Plan that will be taking place during the succeeding quarter, for Kraft’s review, comment and approval. Such implementation plan shall be based on and consistent with the initial Transformation Plan set forth in the applicable Supplement, and shall identify each transformational activity to be performed by Supplier Personnel, and the acceptance testing and review process for the changes being implemented. If approved by Kraft, each such plan for each calendar year shall become a part of the Transformation Plan and be incorporated in the applicable Supplement. In addition, Supplier may propose an update of the overall Transformation Plan in the applicable Supplement at the time it submits its annual implementation plan, which update shall be subject to Kraft’s review, comment, and approval. The implementation plans described above are in addition to and separate from the annual Technology Plan described in Section 9.5.5, though Supplier’s update to the Transformation Plan may arise from changes contemplated by the Technology Plan.

4.3.5

Performance. Supplier shall perform the Transformation Services and implement the Transformation Plan in accordance with the timetable and Transformation Milestones set forth in the Transformation Plan, and Kraft shall reasonably cooperate with Supplier to assist Supplier in implementing the Transformation Plan. Supplier shall provide all cooperation and assistance reasonably required or requested by Kraft in connection with Kraft’s evaluation or testing of the deliverables resulting from implementation of the Transformation Plan. Supplier shall implement the Transformation Plan in a manner that will not (i) disrupt or have an unnecessary adverse impact on the business or operations of Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, (ii) degrade the Services then being received by them, or (iii) interfere with their ability to obtain the full benefit of the Services, except as may be otherwise provided in the Transformation Plan. Prior to undertaking any transformation activity, Supplier shall discuss with Kraft all known Kraft-specific material risks and shall not proceed with such activity until Kraft is reasonably satisfied with the plans with regard to such risks (provided that neither Supplier’s disclosure of any such risks to Kraft

nor Kraft’s acquiescence in Supplier’s plans shall operate or be construed as limiting Supplier’s responsibilities under this Agreement). Supplier shall identify and resolve, with Kraft’s reasonable assistance, any problems that may impede or delay the timely completion of any phase of the Transformation Plan.

4.3.6

Failure to Meet Transformation Milestones.

4.3.6.1

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Transformation Plan specifies various Transformation Milestones by which transformational activities and/or deliverables are to be completed. Supplier recognizes that its failure to meet the Transformation Milestones may have a material adverse impact on the business and operations of Kraft and the Eligible Recipients and that the damages resulting from Supplier’s failure to meet such Transformation Milestones are not capable of precise determination. Accordingly, if Supplier fails to meet a Transformation Milestone, then, in addition to any other remedies available to Kraft under this Agreement, at law, or in equity, and subject to any exceptions to meeting Service Levels or Transformation Milestones set forth in the applicable Supplement, Supplier shall be subject to the imposition of Deliverable Credits specified in the applicable Supplement for such Transformation Milestone, as compensation for Kraft’s damages and not as a penalty. If Kraft recovers other monetary damages from Supplier as a result of Supplier’s failure to meet one or more Transformation Milestones, Supplier shall be entitled to set off against such damages any Deliverable Credits paid for the failures giving rise to such recovery.

4.3.6.2

Neither the transformation nor the activities and deliverables associated with individual Transformation Milestones shall be deemed complete until the Parties have mutually determined that Supplier has successfully completed them in accordance with the process and standards identified in the Transformation Plan.

4.4

Termination Assistance Services.

4.4.1

Availability. As part of the Services, and for the Charges set forth in Section 4.4.2.8 and the applicable Supplement, Supplier shall provide to Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) the Termination Assistance Services described in Section 4.4.2 and Schedule 23 and any termination assistance services described in the applicable Supplement. Any Termination Assistance Services provided in connection with the expiration or termination of a Supplement shall apply with respect to the Services and associated personnel, Software, Equipment, contracts, Facilities and other resources associated with the discontinued Services.

4.4.1.1

Period of Provision. Supplier shall provide such Termination Assistance Services to Kraft and the Eligible Recipients, or their designee(s) (i) with reasonable prior written notice given the nature of the tasks being requested, with such services commencing on the date specified in the notice, which may be up to six months prior to the expiration of the Term or on such earlier date as Kraft may reasonably request given the nature of the tasks being requested, and continuing for the period of time requested by Kraft in its notice to Supplier, which may be up to 12 months following the effective date of the expiration of the Term (as such Term may be extended pursuant to Section 3.2), (ii) commencing upon any notice of termination (including notice based upon breach

or default by Kraft, breach or default by Supplier, or termination in whole or in part for convenience by Kraft) of the Term with respect to all or any part of the Services, and continuing for the period of time requested by Kraft in its notice to Supplier, which may be up to 12 months following the effective date of such termination of all or part of the Services, or (iii) commencing upon notice of termination of all or part of the Services to an Eligible Recipient no longer Controlled by Kraft and continuing for the period of time requested by Kraft in its notice to Supplier, which may be up to 12 months following the effective date of such termination.

4.4.1.2

Extension of Termination Assistance Services. Kraft may elect, upon 30 days’ prior notice, to extend the effective date of any expiration/termination of all or part of the Termination Assistance Services, in its sole discretion, provided that the total of all such extensions will not exceed 180 days following the originally specified effective date without Supplier’s prior written consent. If Kraft provides less than 30 days’ prior notice of an extension, Supplier shall nonetheless use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with Kraft’s request and provide the requested Services and/or Termination Assistance Services.

4.4.1.3

Extension of Other Services. As part of the Termination Assistance Services, for a period of 12 months following the expiration or termination date, Supplier shall provide to the Eligible Recipient(s), under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at Kraft’s request in a written notice provided to Supplier at least 60 days in advance of such expiration or termination date, any or all of the Services being performed by Supplier prior to the expiration or termination date, including those Services described in Article 4 and the applicable Supplement; provided that Kraft may extend the period for the provision of such Services for up to an additional 180 days in accordance with Section 4.4.1.2. To the extent Kraft requests such Services, Kraft will pay Supplier the Charges specified in the applicable Supplement that Kraft would have been obligated to pay Supplier for such Services if this Agreement had not yet expired or been terminated. To the extent Kraft requests a portion (but not all) of the Services included in a particular Charge, the amount to be paid by Kraft will be equitably adjusted by the amount attributable to the portion of the Services that Supplier will not be providing or performing.

4.4.1.4

Firm Commitment. Supplier shall provide Termination Assistance Services to Kraft and the Eligible Recipients, or their designee(s) regardless of the reason for the expiration or termination of the Term; provided, if this Agreement is terminated by Supplier under Section 20.1.2 for failure to pay undisputed amounts, Supplier may require payment by Kraft in advance for Termination Assistance Services to be provided or performed under this Section 4.4. At Kraft’s request, Supplier shall provide Termination Assistance Services directly to an Eligible Recipient or an Entity acquiring Control of an Eligible Recipient; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, all such Termination Assistance Services shall be performed subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

4.4.1.5

Performance. All such Termination Assistance Services shall be provided subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Supplier shall perform the Termination Assistance Services with at least the same degree of accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness and resource efficiency as it provided and was required to provide with respect to the same or similar Services during the Term. The quality and level of performance of the Termination Assistance Services provided by Supplier following the expiration or termination of the Term as to all or part of the Services or Supplier’s receipt of a notice of termination or non-renewal shall continue to meet or exceed the Service Levels and shall not be degraded or deficient in any respect. Accordingly, Service Level Credits may still be assessed for failure to meet Service Levels during the period Termination Assistance Services are provided. Supplier Personnel (including all Key Supplier Personnel) reasonably considered by Kraft to be critical to the performance of the Services and Termination Assistance Services that are performing or overseeing Services Kraft has requested Supplier to continue performing shall be retained on the Kraft account through the completion of the Services, including Termination Assistance Services, they are performing. If Kraft requests Supplier to perform less than all of the Services as part of the Termination Assistance Services, and at such time Supplier can reasonably demonstrate that the Service Levels for the remaining Services will be negatively impacted due to the partial termination of a Tower or the termination of any Services within the Cross Functional Services Tower, then the Parties agree to work together to adjust the Service Levels and the Service Level Credits accordingly.

4.4.2

Scope of Termination Assistance Service. As part of the Termination Assistance Services, Supplier will timely transfer the control and responsibility for all Services previously performed by or for Supplier to Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) by the execution of any documents reasonably necessary to effect such transfers. Additionally, Supplier shall provide any and all reasonable assistance requested by Kraft to allow, among other things:

(a)

the Systems and processes associated with the Services to operate efficiently;

(b)

the Services to continue with as little interruption or adverse effect as is reasonable under the circumstances; it being understood that Supplier shall not be responsible for Kraft’s or the replacement supplier’s failure to properly perform any in-sourced or re-sourced part of the Services; and

(c)

the orderly transfer of the Services to Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s).

The Termination Assistance Services shall include, as requested by Kraft, the Services, functions and responsibilities set forth on Schedule 23. In addition, in connection with such termination or expiration, Supplier will provide the following assistance and Services at Kraft’s direction:

4.4.2.1

General Support. Supplier shall (i) assist Kraft, an Eligible Recipient and/or their designee(s) in developing a written transition plan for the transition of the Services to Kraft, such Eligible Recipient, or their designee(s), which plan shall include (as requested by Kraft) capacity planning, business process planning, facilities planning, human resources planning, telecommunications planning and

other planning necessary to effect the transition, (ii) perform programming and consulting services as requested to assist in implementing the transition plan, (iii) train personnel designated by Kraft, an Eligible Recipient and/or their designee(s) in the use of any business processes or associated Equipment, Software, Systems, Materials or tools used in connection with the provision of the Services, (iv) provide Kraft a catalog all business processes, Software, Kraft Data, Equipment, Materials, Third Party Contracts and tools used to provide the Services, (v) provide machine readable and printed listings and associated documentation for source code for Software owned by Kraft and source code to which Kraft is entitled under this Agreement and assist in its re-configuration, (vi) analyze and report on the space required for the Kraft Data and the Software needed to provide the Services, (vii) assist in the execution of a parallel operation, data migration and testing process until the successful completion of the transition to Kraft, an Eligible Recipient and/or their designee(s), (viii) create and provide copies of the Kraft Data in the format and on the media reasonably requested by Kraft, an Eligible Recipient and/or their designee(s), (ix) provide a complete and up-to-date, electronic copy of the Policy and Procedures Manual in the format and on the media reasonably requested by Kraft, an Eligible Recipient and/or their designee(s), and (x) provide other technical assistance as requested by Kraft, an Eligible Recipient and/or their designee(s).

4.4.2.2

Personnel.

4.4.2.2.1

Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) shall be permitted to undertake, without interference from Supplier, Supplier Subcontractors or Supplier Affiliates (including counter-offers), to hire, effective after the later of the termination of the Term or completion of any Termination Assistance Services, any Supplier Personnel primarily assigned to the performance of Services within the 12-month period prior to the expiration or termination date. Supplier shall waive, and shall cause its Subcontractors and Affiliates to waive, their rights, if any, under contracts with such personnel restricting the ability of such personnel to be recruited or hired by, or to provide any services to, Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s). Supplier shall provide Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) with reasonable assistance in their efforts to hire such Supplier Personnel, and shall give Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) reasonable access to such Supplier Personnel for interviews, evaluations and recruitment. Kraft shall endeavor to conduct the above-described hiring activity in a manner that is not unnecessarily disruptive of the performance by Supplier of its obligations under this Agreement.

4.4.2.2.2

Promptly upon Kraft providing notice for provision of Termination Assistance Services, Supplier shall provide to Kraft a list, organized by country, of the Supplier Personnel who are eligible for solicitation for employment pursuant to this Section 4.4.2.2. Subject to applicable Privacy Laws, such list shall specify each such Supplier Personnel's job title and annual rate of pay.

4.4.2.3

Software. Supplier shall provide Software in accordance with Section 14.6.

4.4.2.4

Equipment. Subject to Section 6.4.3, Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) shall have the right (but not the obligation, except with respect to Committed Equipment Purchase obligation specified in the applicable Supplement) to purchase, or assume the lease for, any Equipment (including the Acquired Assets) owned or leased by Supplier that is primarily used by Supplier, Supplier Subcontractors or Supplier Affiliates to perform the Services. Such Equipment shall be transferred in good working condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, as of the expiration or termination date or the completion of any Services requiring such Equipment, whichever is later. Supplier shall maintain such Equipment for which Supplier has the maintenance obligation under the terms of this Agreement through the date of transfer so as to be eligible for the applicable manufacturer’s maintenance program at no additional charge to Kraft, so long as Kraft’s instructions to Supplier under this Agreement regarding such Equipment have not voided the applicable manufacturer’s maintenance program and such maintenance program is available (provided that Supplier has notified Kraft in writing in advance that Kraft’s instructions will void the applicable manufacturer’s maintenance program and Kraft does not change its instructions following receipt of Supplier’s notification). In the case of Supplier-owned equipment, Supplier shall grant to Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) a warranty of title and a warranty that such Equipment is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Such conveyance by Supplier to Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) shall be at the net book value which shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP, a depreciation method that is either straight line (or, at Supplier’s option, accelerated) for a period of time that is no longer than the refresh cycle specified in the applicable Supplement for the applicable Equipment. At Kraft’s request, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and agree upon the form and structure of the purchase. In the case of leased Equipment, Supplier shall (i) represent and warrant that Supplier, or its Affiliate or Subcontractor if such entity is the lessee, is not in default under the Lease, (ii) represent and warrant that all payments thereunder have been made through the date of transfer, and (iii) notify Kraft of any lessor defaults of which it is aware at the time.

4.4.2.5

Kraft Facilities, Equipment and Software.

4.4.2.6

Supplier Subcontracts and Third Party Contracts. Supplier shall inform Kraft of all subcontracts or Third Party Contracts primarily used by Supplier, Supplier Subcontractors or Supplier Affiliates to perform the Services. Subject to Sections 6.4.3, Supplier shall, at Kraft’s request, cause any such Subcontractors (other than product vendor specialists who Supplier engages on a

temporary basis to address urgent problems, and excluding Supplier Overhead Materials), Supplier Affiliates or third party contractors to permit Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) to assume prospectively any or all such contracts or to enter into new contracts with Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designees on substantially the same terms and conditions, including price. Supplier shall so assign the designated subcontracts and Third Party Contracts to Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) as of the expiration or termination date or the completion of any Termination Assistance Services requiring such subcontracts or Third Party Contracts, whichever is later. There shall be no charge or fee imposed on Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) by Supplier or its Subcontractors, Affiliates or third party contractors for such assignment. Supplier shall (i) represent and warrant that it is not in default under such subcontracts and Third Party Contracts, (ii) represent and warrant that all payments thereunder through the date of assignment are current, and (iii) notify Kraft of any Subcontractor’s or third party contractor’s default with respect to such subcontracts and Third Party Contracts of which it is aware at the time.

4.4.2.7

Other Subcontracts and Third Party Contracts. In addition to its obligations under Section 4.4.2.6, and subject to Kraft’s consent to the contrary in Section 6.4.3, Supplier shall make available to Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s), pursuant to reasonable terms and conditions, any Subcontractor or third party services then being utilized by Supplier in the performance of the Services. Supplier shall retain the right to utilize any such Subcontractor or third party services in connection with the performance of services for any other Supplier customer. Kraft and the Eligible Recipients shall retain the right to contract directly with any such subcontractor or third party previously utilized by Supplier to perform any Services or to assume Supplier’s contract with such Subcontractor or third party to the extent provided in Section 4.4.2.6.

4.4.2.8

Rates and Charges. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.4.2.8 and Section 4.4.2.9, if Kraft requests that Supplier provide or perform Termination Assistance Services in accordance with this Agreement, Kraft shall pay Supplier the rates and charges specified in the applicable Supplement for the additional Supplier Personnel or resources required to perform such Termination Assistance Services. To the extent rates and charges for such Supplier Personnel or resources are not specified in the applicable Supplement, Kraft shall pay Supplier a negotiated fee, which will be [ * * * ] that is [ * * * ] the [ * * * ] reflected in the applicable rates under the applicable Supplement from Supplier’s [ * * * ]. To the extent the Termination Assistance Services requested by Kraft can be provided by Supplier using personnel and resources already assigned to Kraft to provide the Services and that are not removed as a result of Kraft's request that Services be reduced, and without adversely impacting the remaining personnel’s ability to perform their responsibilities in accordance with this Agreement, including the applicable Service Levels, there will be no additional charge to Kraft for such Termination Assistance Services. If the Termination Assistance Services requested by Kraft cannot be provided by Supplier using personnel and resources as described in the preceding sentence, Kraft, in its sole discretion, may forego or delay any work activities or temporarily or permanently adjust the work

to be performed by Supplier, the schedules associated therewith or the Service Levels to permit the performance of such Termination Assistance Services using such personnel or resources already assigned to perform the Services that are not removed as a result of Kraft's request that Services be reduced.

4.4.2.9

Proprietary Communications Network. If Supplier uses a proprietary communications network to provide Services to Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, then for a period of up to two years following the expiration or termination date, upon Kraft’s request Supplier shall continue to provide such proprietary communications network and other Network Services at the rates, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth in this Agreement.

4.4.3

Resources. Supplier shall ensure that, at all times during the Term, on 30 days’ notice, it is able to deploy all necessary resources to perform Termination Assistance Services in accordance with this Section 4.4.

4.4.4

Survival of Terms. This Section 4.4 shall survive termination/expiration of the Term.

4.5

Use of Third Parties.

4.5.1

Right of Use. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a requirements contract, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not be interpreted to prevent Kraft or any Eligible Recipient from obtaining from third parties (each, a “Kraft Third Party Contractor”), or providing to itself, any or all of the Services or any other services. Nor shall anything in this Agreement be construed or interpreted as limiting Kraft’s right or ability during the Term to change the requirements of Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, move parts of Towers in and out of scope, add or delete Eligible Recipients or to increase or decrease its demand for Services. To the extent Kraft or an Eligible Recipient obtains from Kraft Third Party Contractors, or provides to itself, any of the Services, the amount to be paid to Supplier by Kraft will be adjusted in accordance with the applicable Supplement, and such adjustments [ * * * ] (unless [ * * * ] elects to declare a [ * * * ] pursuant to [ * * * ]). Similarly, to the extent Kraft adds or deletes Eligible Recipients or increases or decreases its demand for Services, the amount to be paid to Supplier by Kraft will be adjusted in accordance with the applicable Supplement and the rates specified therein. Without limiting the forgoing, if and to the extent Kraft purchases telecom transport services from Supplier, Kraft will have the right to discontinue purchase of any or all telecom transport services from Supplier on [ * * * ] notice in the United States and [ * * * ] notice outside the United States [ * * * ], and, at its election, to include any replacement telecom transport services contract that Kraft enters into as a Managed Telecom Transport Agreement.

4.5.2

Supplier Cooperation. Supplier shall fully cooperate with and work in good faith with Kraft or Kraft Third Party Contractors as described in the applicable Supplement or requested by Kraft and, except as provided below, at no additional charge to Kraft. Such cooperation may include: (A) timely providing access to any facilities being used to provide the Services, as necessary for Kraft personnel or Kraft Third Party Contractors to perform the work assigned to them; (B) timely providing reasonable electronic and physical access to the business processes and associated Equipment, Software and/or Systems to the extent necessary and appropriate for Kraft personnel or Kraft Third Party Contractors to perform the work assigned to them; (C) timely providing written requirements, standards, policies or other documentation for the business processes and associated Equipment, Software or Systems procured, operated, supported or used by Supplier in connection with the Services; (D) ensuring that there is no degradation in the

provision of the Services caused by the adjustments made by Supplier in transferring Services to a third party, Kraft or an Eligible Recipient; or (E) any other cooperation or assistance reasonably necessary for Kraft personnel or Kraft Third Party Contractors to perform the work in question. Kraft personnel and Kraft Third Party Contractors shall comply with Supplier’s reasonable security and confidentiality requirements, and shall, to the extent performing work on Software, Equipment or Systems for which Supplier has operational responsibility, or accessing any Supplier facilities, comply with Supplier’s reasonable standards, methodologies and procedures, so as to not compromise the confidentiality or security of any Supplier information, including information of any other customer of Supplier. If, in connection with providing the foregoing assistance to Kraft Third Party Contractors, Supplier is required to use resources it would not otherwise have been required to use to provide the Services either because of the specific skill levels involved or to avoid any adverse impact on the Services or the Service Levels, and Supplier is not compensated for such additional resources through the charging mechanism in the applicable Supplement, then Kraft will compensate Supplier for such assistance on a time and materials basis provided that (i) Supplier notifies Kraft prior to its final decision that Supplier will not be able, using commercially reasonable efforts, to cooperate with the Kraft Third Party Contractor without such additional resources under such circumstances and Supplier provides a reasonable estimate of any impact of such additional resources on the Charges, (ii) Supplier identifies and considers commercially reasonable alternatives, if any, available to avoid such additional resource requirement, and (iii) Supplier uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize usage of such additional resources.

4.5.3

Notice by Supplier. Supplier shall immediately notify Kraft when it becomes aware that an act or omission of a Kraft Third Party Contractor will cause, or has caused, a problem or delay in providing the Services, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts, using existing Supplier Personnel assigned to perform the Services, to work with Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and the Kraft Third Party Contractor to prevent or circumvent such problem or delay; provided, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that Supplier has no responsibility for the work of Kraft Third Party Contractors or any delays therein or problems therewith, unless and to the extent Supplier or its Affiliates or Subcontractors are responsible for managing such third parties or have caused such problems or delays. Supplier shall cooperate with Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and Kraft Third Party Contractors to resolve differences and conflicts arising between the Services and other activities undertaken by Kraft, the Eligible Recipients or Kraft Third Party Contractors. Any notification provided by Supplier in accordance with this Section 4.5.3 shall not excuse Supplier from the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

4.6

Projects.

4.6.1

Procedures and Performance. Supplier shall perform Projects requested and approved by Kraft as part of the Services. The Projects underway as of the Effective Date are specified in the applicable Supplement. If Supplier desires to make any change to a Project that is underway as of the Effective Date, then Supplier shall submit to Kraft a written proposal describing such change and the potential impact of such change, and Kraft may, in its sole discretion approve or reject such proposal. A “Project” is a discrete unit of non-recurring work that is (i) not an inherent, necessary or customary part of the day-to-day Services, (ii) not required to be performed by Supplier to meet the existing Service Levels (other than Service Levels related to Project performance and except as provided in the applicable Supplement), and (iii) unless as otherwise provided in the applicable Supplement, that requires at least [ * * * ] of a Supplier Personnel’s effort to complete. A Project may consist of or include work that would otherwise be treated as

New Services. The Supplier Personnel assigned to perform such Projects shall possess the training, education, experience, competence and skill to perform such work. The Kraft Contract Manager or his or her designee shall request, define and set the priority for such Projects. Supplier shall maintain appropriate continuity of personnel assigned to perform Projects. Kraft shall pay for Projects performed by Supplier at Kraft’s request in accordance with the applicable Supplement.

4.6.2

Project Proposals. To the extent required under this Agreement, the applicable Supplement or the Policy and Procedures Manual, Supplier shall prepare a Project proposal that conforms with the requirements for New Services proposals in accordance with Section 11.5.1 prior to beginning such Project. Kraft may accept or reject such Project proposal in its sole discretion. The hours expended by Supplier in preparing proposals or plans or reporting on the status of such Projects shall be included in the Monthly Base Charges and shall not be counted as FTE Services. If there is significant growth in the monthly number of Project proposals or plans requested by Kraft as compared to the monthly number of Project proposals and plans typically prepared by Kraft prior to the Effective Date, the Parties agree to meet and develop an equitable solution.

4.6.3

Additional Work or Reprioritization. In addition to the FTEs provided for in accordance with Section 4.6.1, the Kraft Contract Manager or his or her designee may identify new or additional work activities to be performed by Supplier Personnel (including work activities that would otherwise be treated as New Services) or reprioritize or reset the schedule for existing work activities to be performed by such Supplier Personnel. Unless otherwise agreed, Kraft shall incur no additional charges for the performance of such work activities by Supplier Personnel to the extent then assigned to Kraft. Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such work activities without impacting the established schedule for other tasks or the performance of the Services in accordance with the Service Levels. If after using such efforts it is not possible to avoid such an impact, Supplier shall notify Kraft of the anticipated impact and obtain its consent prior to proceeding with such work activities. Kraft, in its sole discretion, may forego or delay such work activities or temporarily adjust the work to be performed by Supplier, the schedules associated therewith or the Service Levels to permit the performance by Supplier of such work activities. The foregoing shall not be interpreted to and is not intended to diminish Supplier’s right to reduce the resource assigned to Kraft, so long as such reduction is not in contravention of its obligations hereunder, and does not require that Supplier Personnel work longer hours than normally required of full time FTEs.

4.6.4

Baselining Non-Billable Project Work.

4.6.4.1

A “Non-Billable Project” is a discrete unit of non-recurring project work initiated by Kraft that is (i) not an inherent, necessary or customary part of the day–to-day Services, (ii) not required to be performed by Supplier to meet the existing Service Levels (other than Service Levels related to Non-Billable Project performance), and (iii) unless otherwise provided in the applicable Supplement, that requires less than [ * * * ] of a Supplier Personnel’s effort to complete. The Parties acknowledge that Non-Billable Projects will not include the effort required of Supplier to meet its obligations under this Agreement, including performing activities such as: (i) System maintenance activities, including the correction of security deficiencies and flaws (ii) maintenance and continuous improvement in Service Levels, (iii) Technological Evolution (except as otherwise provided in Section 9.17.1), including technology refresh requirements

and Software currency requirements; (iv) changes required to comply with all Supplier Laws; (v) “run the business” changes of type periodically performed by Kraft Personnel prior to the Effective Date (or by Supplier Personnel if Supplier was performing such Services prior to the Effective Date); and (vi) compliance with the Kraft Standards as of the Effective Date. A Non-Billable Project may consist of or include work that would otherwise be treated as New Services.

4.6.4.2

The Supplier Personnel assigned to perform Non-Billable Projects shall possess the training, education, experience, competence and skill to perform such work. Supplier shall maintain appropriate continuity of personnel assigned to perform Non-Billable Projects. Except as provided in this Section 4.6.4, Non-Billable Project Work will be performed by Supplier as part of the Monthly Base Charges.

4.6.4.6

If, during any calendar quarter during the Term, Supplier is requested to perform a significant number of Non-Billable Projects over or under the agreed baseline, then through the governance process described in Schedule 6, the Parties will meet and agree on appropriate adjustments, including working with Kraft to reduce the number of Non-Billable Projects, adjusting priorities of Supplier's then existing personnel, or adding or decreasing the FTEs to handle the increased or reduced number of Non-Billable Projects, or some other approach as the governance committee may determine is appropriate.

With respect to a potential acquisition by Kraft, or formation by Kraft of a new Affiliate, partnership, joint venture or other Entity that may become an Eligible Recipient, upon Kraft’s request, Supplier will provide support (including assessments of the current technology environments to be acquired, potential integration approaches, and the potential net economic impact of the acquisition in connection with the Services) as reasonably necessary to assist Kraft’s assessment of the portion of the acquisition or new Entity to which the Services will relate and subsequently provide the Services as they apply to such Entity on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 11.5, if and to the extent that the Services as they apply to such Entity satisfy the definition of New Services. Such support will be provided within the timeframe reasonably requested by Kraft or as required by the timing of the acquisition or formation of such Entity.

4.7.2

Migration of Systems and Business Processes. As requested by Kraft and as they relate to the Services, Supplier will migrate the business processes, systems, applications and data of such Entity to the Kraft environment on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 11.5, if and to the extent that the Services as they apply to such Entity satisfy the definition of New Services.

As requested by Kraft, Supplier will provide personnel, at the rates set forth in the applicable Supplement or such other rates as may be agreed upon by the Parties, to staff vacancies and to provide management for the information technology functions needed to support such Entity, including on-site support at the location of such Entity.

4.7.4

Divestitures. From time to time, Kraft may divest business units or Affiliates. In such cases, Supplier will provide transition support services to Kraft, the divested Entity or the acquiring Entity as if such services are Termination Assistance Services. Supplier shall provide the services described in Sections 4.7.1 through 4.7.3 and Section 11.1.6 to the divested Entity or the acquiring Entity with respect to such divestitures as described in Section 11.1.6.

5.	REQUIRED CONSENTS

5.1

Supplier Responsibility.

At no additional cost to Kraft, Supplier shall undertake all administrative activities necessary to obtain all Required Consents. At Supplier’s request, Kraft will cooperate with Supplier in obtaining the Required Consents by executing appropriate Kraft-approved written communications and other documents prepared or provided by Supplier. In addition, in those instances where Kraft is the contracting party or licensee, Kraft will make the initial contact with and make introductions to the applicable third parties as Supplier may reasonably request. With Kraft’s approval, Supplier shall exercise for the benefit of Kraft and the Eligible Recipients any rights Supplier has to utilize or transfer license rights or other applicable rights under Supplier’s existing third party licenses, leases or contracts, and the Parties shall cooperate in minimizing or eliminating any costs associated therewith.

5.2

Financial Responsibility.

[ * * * ] shall pay all transfer, re-licensing or termination fees or expenses associated with obtaining any Required Consents or terminating any licenses or agreements as to which [ * * * ] is unable to obtain such Required Consents. [ * * * ] will cooperate with [ * * * ] in good faith to minimize such fees and expenses.

5.3

Contingent Arrangements.

If, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, Supplier is unable to obtain a Required Consent with Kraft's reasonable cooperation, with respect to Kraft licensed Third Party Software, Supplier shall, at Supplier’s option and with Kraft’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), (i) replace the Kraft license for such Third Party Software with a Supplier license; (ii) replace such Third Party Software with other Software offering equivalent features and functionality, or (iii) secure the right to manage the Kraft licensed Third Party Software on behalf of Kraft. If, despite using commercially reasonable efforts with Kraft's reasonable cooperation, Supplier is unable to obtain a Required Consent with respect to any other Kraft Third Party Contract, then, unless and until such Required Consent is obtained, Supplier shall manage such Third Party Contract on Kraft’s behalf and perform all obligations and enforce all rights under such Third Party Contract as if Supplier were a party to the agreement in Kraft’s place. If, despite using commercially reasonable efforts with Kraft's reasonable cooperation, management of such Third Party Contract is not legally or contractually possible or Supplier is unable to obtain any other Required Consent, Supplier shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to determine and adopt, subject to Kraft’s

prior approval, such alternative approaches as are necessary and sufficient to provide the Services without such Required Consent. If such alternative approaches are required for a period longer than 90 days following the Commencement Date (or, in the case of Required Consents specific to a Deferred Country, 90 days after Supplier begins performing Services for such Deferred Country), the Parties will equitably adjust the terms and reduce the prices specified in this Agreement to reflect any additional costs being incurred by Kraft and any Services not being received by Kraft and the Eligible Recipients. In addition, if Supplier fails to obtain any Required Consent within 90 days after the Commencement Date (or, in the case of a Deferred Country, the applicable start date for the Services for such Deferred Country requiring such consent) and such failure has a material adverse impact on the use or enjoyment of such Services by Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, [ * * * ] may terminate the affected [ * * * ] of any [ * * * ]. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the failure to obtain any Required Consent shall not relieve Supplier of its obligations under this Agreement and [ * * * ] shall not be entitled to any [ * * * ] in connection with [ * * * ] any Required Consent or implementing any alternative approach.

6.1

Service Facilities.

6.1.1

Service Facilities. The Services shall be provided at or from (i) the Kraft Facilities described on Schedule 7.1, (ii) the Supplier Facilities described in the applicable Supplement, or (iii) any other service location approved by Supplier and Kraft, including work performed remotely by Supplier Personnel using methods of remote access approved by Kraft according to procedures set forth in the Policy and Procedures Manual. Supplier may from time to time determine that the relocation by Supplier, its Affiliates or Subcontractors of the provision of a Service Function to a new Supplier Facility is necessary or desirable. In such event, Supplier shall notify Kraft of the location and timing of such relocation. Such notification shall include all information that Supplier reasonably believes is required for Kraft to determine whether the new location will result in: (A) increased costs to Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, (B) a negative impact to the Services or Service Levels, or (C) increased business (including public relations), operational or regulatory risk to Kraft or the Eligible Recipients. If Kraft requires additional information from Supplier in order to complete its evaluation, Kraft will notify Supplier, and Supplier will promptly provide such additional information. If Kraft reasonably believes that the new location will have such an impact, then Kraft will promptly provide Supplier with a list of Kraft’s concerns. Supplier will address those concerns before executing any such relocation. Supplier shall not proceed with such relocation until Kraft has determined that it will not have one of the effects described above. If Supplier believes that Kraft’s concerns are unfounded, Supplier may challenge Kraft’s determination according to the dispute resolution processes under Article 19 of this Agreement. Supplier agrees that help desk relocation will be more broadly subject to Kraft’s approval, which approval may be subject to sharing of cost savings associated with such relocation in the event the relocation is to a different country from the prior location. Kraft acknowledges and has approved the Supplier Facilities set forth on the applicable Supplement as of the Supplement Effective Date for the provision of the Services and scope thereof described therein. Supplier shall be financially responsible for all additional costs, Service Taxes (including telecom taxes) and property taxes or expenses related to or resulting from any Supplier-initiated relocation to a new or different Supplier Facility, including any costs or expenses incurred or experienced by Kraft or any Eligible Recipient as a result of such relocation.

6.1.8

Employee Services. Subject to applicable security requirements, Kraft will permit Supplier Personnel to use certain employee facilities (e.g., designated parking facilities, cafeteria and common facilities) at the Kraft Facilities that are generally made available to the employees and

contractors of Kraft or the Eligible Recipients. The employee facilities in question and the extent of Supplier Personnel’s permitted use shall be specified in writing by Kraft and shall be subject to modification in Kraft’s sole discretion with the same advance notice, if any, that Kraft provides its own employees. Supplier Personnel will not be permitted to use employee facilities designated by Kraft for the exclusive use of certain Kraft or Eligible Recipient employees and will not be entitled to the provision or reimbursement of paid parking.

6.1.9

Use of Kraft Facilities.

6.1.9.1

Unless Supplier obtains Kraft’s prior written agreement, which Kraft may withhold in its sole discretion, Supplier shall use the Kraft Facilities, and the Equipment and Software located therein, only to provide the Services to Kraft and the Eligible Recipients.

6.1.9.2

Kraft reserves the right to relocate any Kraft Facility from which the Services are then being provided by Supplier to another geographic location; provided that, in such event, Kraft will provide Supplier with comparable office space in the new geographic location. In such event, Kraft shall pay the applicable labor rate(s) for additional personnel reasonably required by Supplier, for the incremental Out-of-Pocket Expenses reasonably incurred by Supplier in physically relocating to such new geographic location, and for any additional ongoing costs incurred by Supplier that would not have been incurred but for the required relocation; provided that such relocation is not expressly contemplated in this Agreement, and that Supplier notifies Kraft of such additional required personnel, incremental Out-of-Pocket Expenses, and ongoing costs, obtains Kraft’s approval prior to using such personnel or incurring such expenses and costs, and uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such personnel, expenses and costs.

6.1.9.3

Kraft also reserves the right to direct Supplier to cease using all or part of the space in any Kraft Facility from which the Services are then being provided by Supplier and to thereafter use such space for its own purposes. In such event, Kraft shall reimburse Supplier for any reasonable incremental Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by Supplier in leasing required substitute new space, and for any additional ongoing costs incurred by Supplier that would not have been incurred but for the required relocation; provided that such relocation direction is not expressly contemplated in this Agreement and that Supplier notifies Kraft of such additional required incremental Out-of-Pocket Expenses and ongoing costs, obtains Kraft’s approval prior to incurring such expenses and costs, and uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such expenses and costs.

6.1.9.4

In connection with any decision by Kraft to relocate any Kraft Facility or to direct Supplier to cease using any Kraft Facility as described in Section 6.1.9.2 or 6.1.9.3, Supplier will provide to Kraft for its review, comment, and approval, a written plan for such relocation which shall include the cost of such plan, and any commercially reasonable alternatives for reducing such costs, which alternatives may in some cases include limited impacts of the availability of the affected Services.

6.1.10

Conditions for Return. When the Kraft Facilities are no longer to be used by Supplier as contemplated by Section 6.1.2 or are otherwise no longer required for performance of the Services, Supplier shall notify Kraft as soon as practicable and shall vacate and return such Kraft Facilities (including any improvements to such facilities made by or at the request of Supplier) to Kraft in substantially the same condition as when such facilities were first provided to Supplier, subject to reasonable wear and tear.

6.1.11

No Violation of Laws. Supplier shall (i) treat, use and maintain the Kraft Facilities in a reasonable manner, and (ii) ensure that neither Supplier nor any of its Subcontractors commits, and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no business visitor or invitee commits, any act in violation of any Laws in such Supplier occupied Kraft Facility or any act in violation of Kraft’s insurance policies or in breach of Kraft’s obligations under the applicable real estate leases in such Supplier occupied Kraft Facilities (in each case, to the extent Supplier has received notice of such insurance policies or real estate leases or should reasonably be expected to know of such obligations or limitations). Such commercially reasonable efforts include, by way of example, providing the visitor or invitee with notice of any requirements regarding such facilities that are not common or self-evident; accompanying visitors and invitees while in Kraft facilities; and exercising appropriate oversight over such visitors and invitees activities while in Kraft facilities.

6.2

Use of Supplier Facilities.

During the Term and solely for the purpose of conducting audits, and reviews of the Services and other work directly related to the Services, Supplier will provide to Kraft at no charge (i) reasonable access to and use of Supplier Facilities from which the Services are being performed, and (ii) access to reasonable work/conference space at such Supplier Facilities, for the conduct of Kraft’s business pertaining to the Services.

6.4.2

Operational Responsibility. With respect to Software, Equipment, Equipment leases and Third Party Contracts for which Supplier is operationally responsible under Schedule 11.1, 12.1, or 12.3 or the applicable Supplement and any other Third Party Contracts (excluding Third Party Contracts administered by Supplier on a pass-through basis, which are addressed in Section 11.2) used by Supplier to provide the Services, Supplier shall be responsible for (i) the evaluation, procurement (i.e., performing administrative activities, but not assuming financial responsibility unless otherwise provided herein), testing, installation, rollout, use, support, management,

administration, operation and maintenance of such Software, Equipment, Equipment leases and Third Party Contracts; (ii) the evaluation, procurement (i.e., performing administrative activities, but not assuming financial responsibility unless otherwise provided herein), testing, installation, rollout, use, support, management, administration, operation and maintenance of new, substitute or replacement Software, Equipment, Equipment leases and Third Party Contracts (including Upgrades, enhancements, new versions or new releases of such Software); (iii) the performance, availability, reliability, compatibility and interoperability of such Software, Equipment and Third Party Contracts each in accordance with this Agreement, including the Service Levels and Change Control Procedures; (iv) the compliance with and performance of all operational, administrative and contractual obligations specified in the applicable licenses, leases and contracts; (v) the administration and exercise as appropriate of all rights available under such licenses, leases and contracts; and (vi) the payment of any fees, penalties, charges, interest or other expenses due and owing under or with respect to such licenses, leases and contracts that are incurred, caused by or result from Supplier’s failure to comply with or perform its obligations under this Section 6.4.2 (except to the extent that such failure directly results from the acts or omissions of Kraft under those licenses, leases or contracts in contravention of its obligations under this Agreement). Kraft agrees that, during the Term, Supplier, in consultation with Kraft, shall direct the actions of the applicable third party vendors with respect to the leases, licenses and Third Party Contracts for which Supplier has operational responsibility hereunder.

6.4.3

Rights Upon Expiration/Termination. With respect to all Third Party Software licenses, Equipment leases and Third Party Contracts for which Supplier is financially responsible under this Agreement, except for (a) product vendor specialists who Supplier engages on a temporary basis to address urgent problems and (b) contracts for Supplier Overhead Materials, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain for Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) the license, sublicense, assignment and other rights specified in Sections 4.4.2 and 14.6, (ii) ensure that the granting of such license, sublicense, assignment and other rights is not subject to subsequent third party approval or the payment by Kraft, the Eligible Recipients or their designee(s) of license, assignment or transfer fees, (iii) ensure that the terms, conditions and prices applicable to Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) following expiration or termination of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) are no less favorable than those otherwise applicable to Supplier, and at least sufficient for the continuation of the activities comprising the Services, (iv) ensure that neither the expiration or termination of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) nor the assignment of the license, lease or contract will trigger less favorable terms, conditions or pricing, and (v) not replace any perpetual software licenses with subscription term licenses or use subscription term licenses for any new Software not currently licensed by Kraft. If Supplier is unable to obtain any such rights and assurances, it shall notify Kraft in advance and, except for those licenses, leases or Third Party Contracts made available to Supplier by Kraft pursuant to this Agreement, shall not use such Third Party Software license, Equipment lease or Third Party Contract without Kraft’s approval (and absent such approval, Supplier’s use of any such Third Party Software license, Equipment lease or Third Party Contract shall obligate Supplier to obtain or arrange, at no additional cost to Kraft, for such license, sublicense, assignment or other right for Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and their designee(s) upon expiration or termination). The exception in the preceding sentence which permits Supplier to use licenses and contracts made available by Kraft under this Agreement shall not be interpreted to be a consent which excuses Supplier’s obligation to obtain post-termination rights for Kraft under those licenses and contracts, except to the extent permitted by Section 5.3. If Kraft consents to Supplier’s use of specific Third Party Software licenses, Equipment leases or Third Party Contracts under these circumstances, such consent shall be deemed to be conditioned on

Supplier’s commitment to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party to agree at expiration or termination of this Agreement or the applicable Supplement or the completion of Termination Assistance Services to permit Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) to assume prospectively the license, lease or contract in question or to enter into a new license, lease or contract with Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) on substantially the same terms and conditions, including price. Kraft consents to the specific exceptions set forth in the applicable Supplement with respect to the corresponding Third Party Contracts described in that Schedule.

6.4.4

Evaluation of Third Party Software, Equipment. In addition to its obligations under Section 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 and in order to facilitate Kraft’s control of architecture, standards and plans pursuant to Section 9.5, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to evaluate any Third Party Software and Equipment selected by or for Kraft or an Eligible Recipient to determine whether such Software and Equipment will adversely affect Kraft’s environment, Kraft’s ability to interface with and use the Software, Equipment and Systems and/or Supplier’s ability to provide the Services. Supplier shall develop and provide such an evaluation to Kraft within 15 days of its receipt of Kraft’s request and receipt of the Software or Equipment Supplier is being asked to evaluate; provided that (i) Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond more quickly in the case of a pressing business need or an emergency situation, and (ii) if the complexity of the evaluation would make it impractical to complete the evaluation within 15 days, Supplier shall promptly notify and confer with Kraft regarding the time Supplier will reasonably require to complete the evaluation.

6.4.5

Kraft Provided Equipment.

6.4.5.1

Provision. Kraft shall provide Supplier with the use of the Kraft owned and leased Equipment identified on Schedule 10 (collectively, the “Kraft Provided Equipment”) for the periods specified in such Schedule solely for and in connection with the provision of the Services. THE KRAFT PROVIDED EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED BY KRAFT TO SUPPLIER ON AN AS-IS, WHERE-IS BASIS. KRAFT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE KRAFT PROVIDED EQUIPMENT, OR ITS CONDITION OR SUITABILITY FOR USE BY SUPPLIER TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kraft will pass through to Supplier any representations and warranties for such Equipment provided by the vendors and manufacturer that Kraft is able to pass through without additional cost to Kraft.

6.4.5.2

Upgrades. If and to the extent Supplier upgrades (including adding components or features or otherwise modifying) any Kraft Provided Equipment, Supplier will retain ownership of such upgrade until the earlier of (i) the date Supplier has fully expensed or amortized such upgrade; or (ii) the date Supplier ceases to use the upgraded Equipment to provide the Services (whether due to refresh, decline in resource requirements or any other reason), at which time Supplier shall be deemed to have hereby automatically transferred title and ownership of such upgrade to Kraft or the applicable Eligible Recipient that owns the corresponding Kraft Provided Equipment. Supplier shall take any and all actions necessary,

including executing any documents, to transfer title of such upgrades to, and vest title of such Kraft Provided Equipment upgrades in, Kraft or the applicable Eligible Recipient to the extent provided above.

6.4.5.3

Return. Upon the expiration of the period specified in Schedule 10 for each item of Kraft Provided Equipment (or when such Kraft Provided Equipment is no longer required by Supplier for the performance of the Services), Supplier shall promptly return such Kraft Provided Equipment to Kraft in substantially the same condition (as it may have been modified or improved by Supplier with Kraft’s approval) as when such Kraft Provided Equipment was first provided to Supplier, subject to reasonable wear and tear.

6.4.5.4

Responsibility for Other Equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in this Section 6.4.6, 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.4.1, and the applicable Supplement, Supplier shall be responsible for providing all Equipment required to perform the Services and all Upgrades, improvements, replacements and additions thereto.

Kraft and Supplier shall execute and deliver a mutually satisfactory assignment and assumption agreement with respect to such leases, licenses and agreements, evidencing the assignment and assumption provided for herein.

6.5.2

Items Not Assignable by Commencement Date. With respect to any such Third Party Software licenses, Equipment Leases or Third Party Contracts for which Supplier is financially responsible under Section 6.4 or the applicable Supplement and that can not, as of the Commencement Date on which Supplier assumes responsibility for the Services in question, be assigned to Supplier without breaching their terms or otherwise adversely affecting the rights or obligations of Kraft or Supplier thereunder, the performance obligations shall be deemed to be subcontracted or delegated to Supplier until any requisite consent, notice or other prerequisite to assignment can be obtained, given or satisfied by Supplier. It is understood that Supplier, as a subcontractor or

delegatee, shall be financially and operationally responsible for all obligations arising on or after the applicable Commencement Date under such Third Party Software license, Equipment Lease or Third Party Contract as Kraft’s agent pursuant to Section 9.11.2. Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the consent, notice or other prerequisites to assignment and, upon Supplier doing so, the Third Party Software license, Equipment Lease or Third Party Contract shall immediately be assigned and transferred to and assumed by Supplier.

6.5.3

Non-Assignable Items. If, after using commercially reasonable efforts for a reasonable period of time but not longer than 90 days after the Commencement Date, Supplier cannot assign a Third Party Software license, Equipment Lease or Third Party Contract without breaching its terms or otherwise adversely affecting the rights or obligations of Kraft or Supplier thereunder, the Parties shall take such actions and execute and deliver such documents as may be necessary to cause the Parties to realize the practical effects of the allocation of responsibilities intended to be effected by this Agreement.

6.5.4

Modification and Substitution. Supplier may terminate, shorten, modify or extend the Third Party Software licenses, Equipment Leases and Third Party Contracts for which Supplier is financially responsible under the applicable Supplement and, subject to Section 9.12, may substitute or change vendors relating to goods or services covered thereby; provided that, except as otherwise disclosed by Supplier and agreed to by Kraft, such change(s) (i) shall not constitute a breach of any obligation of Kraft or the Eligible Recipients under such Software licenses, Equipment Leases or Third Party Contracts, (ii) shall not result in additional financial obligations, financial or operational risk or Losses to Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, (iii) shall not result in any increase to Kraft or the Eligible Recipients in the cost of receiving the Services, and (iv) if assumable by Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, shall not provide for less favorable terms, conditions or prices for Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) following the expiration or termination of the Term or any applicable Service than would otherwise be applicable to Supplier (except for terms, conditions or prices available to Supplier because of its volume purchases). Supplier’s rights under the immediate preceding sentence are conditioned upon Supplier paying all applicable termination or cancellation charges, Losses and other amounts due to the applicable vendor associated with such action and indemnifying Kraft and the Eligible Recipients against any such charges, Losses or other amounts associated therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Supplier shall not terminate, shorten or modify without Kraft’s prior written consent any license for Third Party Software either created exclusively for Kraft or the Eligible Recipients or otherwise not commercially available. Supplier shall reimburse Kraft and the Eligible Recipient(s) for any termination charges, cancellation charges, or other amounts paid by them at Supplier’s direction in connection with obtaining any such modification.

6.6

Managed Third Parties.

6.6.1

Responsibility.

6.6.1.1

Supplier shall cause Managed Third Parties to perform in accordance with this Agreement, including Service Levels set forth in the applicable Supplement, and comply with all applicable duties and obligations imposed on Supplier under this Agreement, except that:

6.6.1.1.1

Supplier shall be excused of such obligation to the extent the terms of Kraft’s agreement with a Managed Third Party do not permit Supplier to enforce the terms of the applicable Supplement;

6.6.1.1.2

Supplier will not be liable for a Managed Third Party’s breach of this Agreement with respect to matters not involving performance of the Services, such as confidentiality obligations, but only if and to the extent that (i) such breach is not a result of Supplier’s failure to properly manage such Managed Third Party, (ii) Supplier, following discovery of the breach, promptly notifies Kraft of such breach and takes prompt action to demand the Managed Third Party to so comply and (iii) Supplier uses commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with Kraft, to mitigate any damage resulting from such breach (with any incremental expense of mitigation being borne by the Party which has financial responsibility for such Managed Third Party’s performance); and

6.6.1.1.3

Supplier will be excused from its failure to comply with its Service-related obligations, including meeting the Service Levels set forth in the applicable Supplement, under this Agreement if and to the extent Supplier (i) confirms through a Root Cause Analysis that a Managed Third Party caused Supplier to fail to perform any Services in accordance with the applicable Service Levels for such Services, and (ii) Kraft declines to take such action demanded by Supplier under its agreement with the Managed Third Party which Kraft is contractually entitled to take; provided that Supplier shall indemnify and defend Kraft from any third party claims (including any increased costs payable by Kraft or an Eligible Recipient under its agreement with such Managed Third Party) resulting from Kraft compliance with Supplier’s direction. In the event Kraft declines to take the requested action, Supplier shall nonetheless use commercially reasonable efforts without additional costs to Supplier to perform such Services notwithstanding the Managed Third Party’s failure to perform.

6.6.1.2

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Supplement, Section 6.6.2, or agreed in writing by the Parties, Supplier is responsible for all costs and charges associated with Managed Third Parties and, subject to the exceptions noted in Sections 6.6.1.1.1, 6.6.1.1.2, and 6.6.1.1.3, for any failure by any Managed Third Party or its personnel to perform in accordance with this Agreement or to comply with any duties or obligations imposed on Supplier under this Agreement, to the same extent as if such failure to perform or comply was committed by Supplier or Supplier Personnel. Supplier shall be Kraft’s and the Eligible Recipients’ sole point of contact regarding the services provided by such Managed Third Parties.

6.6.2

Modification. If a Managed Third Party’s Third Party Contract is terminated (other than by Kraft for convenience) or a Managed Third Party ceases to perform or fails to perform in accordance with this Agreement, Supplier shall be responsible for the continued performance of the Services in accordance with this Agreement and shall either provide such Services itself or enter into an agreement for such Services with a replacement Managed Third Party. In that event, if and to the extent Kraft is financially responsible for that Managed Third Party, Kraft (i) will

determine whether Supplier provides the Services itself or through a replacement Managed Third Party, and (ii) will either pay Supplier amounts to be mutually agreed where Supplier assumes responsibility at Kraft's direction for performance or will pay the replacement Managed Third Party directly as a Pass-Through Expense. Kraft reserves all rights to modify, amend, renew, terminate, extend or otherwise replace any Managed Third Party and/or the applicable Third Party Contract, and to negotiate any Pass-Through Expenses associated therewith. If a modification, amendment or replacement of a Managed Third Party materially affects Supplier’s ability to meet its obligations under this Section 6.6, then, within 30 days after Supplier receives notice of such modification, amendment or replacement, Supplier shall notify Kraft in writing in sufficient detail to explain Supplier’s concerns, and thereafter the Parties shall meet and agree to any appropriate modifications or relief to Supplier’s obligations that are directly affected by such change. Kraft shall agree to reimburse Supplier for reasonable, actual and demonstrable increases in costs and expenses incurred by Supplier as a direct result of Kraft’s modification, amendment or replacement of such a Third Party Contract or Managed Third Party, provided that Supplier (i) notifies Kraft in writing of all such costs and expense within 30 days after Supplier’s receipt of a copy of the modification, amendment or replacement to the applicable Third Party Contract, and (ii) uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such costs and expenses.

6.7

Notice of Defaults.

Kraft and Supplier shall promptly inform the other Party in writing of any material breach of, or misuse or fraud in connection with, any Third Party Contract, Equipment lease or Third Party Software license used in connection with the Services of which it becomes aware and shall cooperate with the other Party to prevent or stay any such breach, misuse or fraud.

6.8

Acquired Assets.

6.8.1

To the extent Acquired Assets are specifically identified in a Supplement, Kraft agrees to convey (or shall cause the applicable Eligible Recipient to convey) to Supplier, and Supplier agrees (or shall cause an Affiliate to agree) to accept, as of the Commencement Date, all of Kraft’s (or the applicable Eligible Recipient’s) right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets, other than the Acquired Assets in the Deferred Countries. In consideration for such conveyance, Supplier agrees to pay Kraft on the Commencement Date the Acquired Assets Credit specified in the applicable Supplement. In addition, Supplier shall be responsible for, and shall pay, or provide evidence of exemption from, all sales, use, goods and services and other similar taxes arising out of the conveyance of the Acquired Assets, excluding income taxes and franchise taxes. Kraft represents and warrants to Supplier that Supplier (or its Affiliates) shall take good title to the Acquired Assets as of the Commencement Date, free and clear of all liens. The conveyance of the Acquired Assets shall be effected by the delivery of each Acquired Asset to the Supplier where possible or, where this is not possible, by the delivery of a xxxx of sale in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit 2. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.8, Kraft CONVEYS THE ACQUIRED ASSETS TO SUPPLIER ON AN AS-IS, WHERE-IS AND WITH-ALL-FAULTS BASIS. KRAFT HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUIRED ASSETS, OR THE CONDITION OR SUITABILITY OF SUCH ACQUIRED ASSETS FOR USE BY SUPPLIER TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Kraft shall convey and Supplier shall pay for the Acquired Assets in each Deferred Country, on the same terms described in this Section 6.8.1, on the date Supplier assumes responsibility for providing Services from such country.

6.8.2

Taxes. The Acquired Assets Credit is exclusive of all taxes. Supplier shall be responsible for, and shall pay, or provide evidence of exemption from, all sales, use, goods and services and other similar taxes arising out of the conveyance of the Acquired Assets. Kraft and Supplier intend that Article 5 of the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of May 17, 1977, as implemented in the relevant jurisdiction, and similar applicable Laws will apply to the conveyance of the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement in those jurisdictions in which such Laws apply and agree to use all reasonable endeavors to secure that the conveyance is treated neither as a supply of goods nor a supply of services. If, nevertheless, any Service Taxes are chargeable in respect of any supply in connection with the conveyance of the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement, then Supplier shall forthwith pay or procure the payment to Kraft of an amount equal to any such tax in respect of the conveyance of the Acquired Assets (in addition to the consideration or any other sum payable to Kraft) subject to the production of a valid tax invoice in respect of such conveyance, and shall indemnify Kraft for any fines, penalties or interest imposed by any Tax Authority arising out of the treatment by Kraft and Supplier of such conveyance. Supplier warrants to Kraft that Supplier is registered for any Service Tax or will be registered for such tax with effect from a date not later than the Commencement Date and shall, on or before that date, provide Kraft with proof of such registration reasonably satisfactory to Kraft. Supplier warrants to Kraft that the Acquired Assets are to be used by Supplier in carrying on the same kind of business as that carried on by Kraft and Supplier will after the Commencement Date continue to carry on such business. In relation to records pertaining to Service Taxes: (i) Kraft shall on the Commencement Date deliver to Supplier all records required to be so delivered under the applicable legislation; and (ii) Supplier shall preserve or shall procure to be preserved those records for such period as may be required by law and during that period permit Kraft reasonable access to them to inspect or make copies of them. All sums payable in connection with the transfer of the Acquired Assets are exclusive of Service Taxes and Supplier shall, in addition to such sums, pay any Service Taxes properly chargeable thereon, on receipt of a valid invoice for such Service Taxes.

In addition, for those Services for which there are no Service Levels, Supplier shall perform such Services at levels of accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness, resource efficiency and productivity that are equal to or higher than the accepted industry standards of first tier providers of such business process and outsourcing services. This Section 7.1.1 shall not be deemed to supersede the Service Levels specified in the applicable Supplement.

7.1.2

Service Level Performance Standards. Beginning on the dates specified in the applicable Supplement, Supplier shall perform the Services so as to meet or exceed the Service Levels, as set forth in the applicable Supplement.

7.1.3

Multiple Service Levels. If more than one Service Level applies to any particular obligation of Supplier, Supplier shall perform in accordance with the most stringent of such Service Levels.

7.1.4

Responsibility. Supplier shall be responsible for meeting or exceeding the applicable Service Levels even where doing so is dependent on the provision of Services by (i) Subcontractors, (ii) subject to Section 10.2, non-Supplier Personnel, including Kraft employees, or (iii) subject to Section 6.6, Managed Third Parties.

7.2

Service Level Credits; Deliverable Credits.

7.2.1

Service Level Credits. Supplier recognizes that Kraft is paying Supplier to deliver the Services at specified Service Levels. If Supplier fails to meet such Service Levels, then, in addition to other remedies available to Kraft, Supplier shall pay or credit to Kraft the performance credits specified in the applicable Supplement (“Service Level Credits”) in recognition of the diminished value of the Services resulting from Supplier’s failure to meet the agreed upon level of performance, and not as a penalty. Under no circumstances shall the imposition of Service Level Credits be construed as Kraft’s sole or exclusive remedy for any failure to meet the Service Levels. However, if Kraft recovers monetary damages from Supplier as a result of Supplier’s failure to meet a Service Level, Supplier shall be entitled to set off against such damages any Service Level Credits paid for the failure giving rise to such recovery, as reduced by any applicable earnback pursuant to the applicable Supplement.

7.2.2

Deliverable Credits. Supplier recognizes that Kraft is paying Supplier to provide certain Critical Deliverables by the time and in the manner agreed by the Parties.

7.3

Problem Analysis.

If Supplier fails to provide Services in accordance with the Service Levels and this Agreement, Supplier shall (after restoring service or otherwise resolving any immediate problem) (i) promptly investigate and report on the causes of the problem; (ii) provide a Root Cause Analysis of such failure as soon as practicable after such failure or at Kraft’s request; (iii) correct the problem as soon as practicable (regardless of cause or fault) or coordinate the correction of the problem if Supplier does not have responsibility for the cause of the problem; (iv) advise Kraft of the status of remedial efforts being undertaken with respect to such problem; (v) demonstrate to Kraft’s reasonable satisfaction that the causes of such problem have been or will be corrected on a permanent basis and (vi) take all commercially reasonable actions to prevent any recurrence of such problem. Supplier shall complete all Root Cause Analyses in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Supplement. If the Root Cause Analysis indicates that neither Supplier nor any Directed Employee while performing a function under Supplier’s direction was responsible for the cause of the breach or potential breach and Supplier is unable to perform remediation efforts without adding substantial additional Supplier resources or third party contractors (beyond the Subcontractor personnel then assigned to perform Services for Kraft), Kraft may elect to either (i) reprioritize the Services, in which event Supplier will perform the remediation at no additional charge, or (ii) authorize Supplier to perform the remediation as a Project.

7.4

Continuous Improvement Reviews.

Supplier shall give Kraft any assistance it reasonably requires to review and verify such data. As part of this review process, the Parties shall, [ * * * ], increase the Service Levels to reflect the higher performance levels actually attained or attainable by Supplier in accordance with the applicable Supplement. In addition, subject to the applicable Supplement, the Parties shall agree, to the extent reasonable and appropriate, to (i) increase the Service Levels to reflect improved performance capabilities associated with advances in the proven processes, technologies and methods available to perform the Services; (ii) add new Service Levels to permit further measurement or monitoring of the accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness, cost-effectiveness, or productivity of the Services; (iii) modify or increase the Service Levels to reflect changes in the processes, architecture, standards, strategies, needs or objectives defined by Kraft; and (iv) modify or increase the Service Levels to reflect agreed upon changes in the manner in which the Services are performed by Supplier.

7.5

Measurement and Monitoring.

Supplier shall, not later than the date by which Supplier is required to collect Service Level related data to enable it to comply with the requirements set forth in the applicable Supplement, implement measurement and monitoring tools and metrics as well as standard reporting procedures, all acceptable to Kraft, to measure and report Supplier’s performance of the Services at a level of detail sufficient, as determined by Kraft, to verify Supplier’s compliance with the applicable Service Levels. Kraft or its designee shall have the right to audit all such measurement and reporting tools, performance metrics and reporting procedures. Supplier shall provide Kraft with on-line access to up-to-date problem management data and other data regarding the status of service problems, service requests and user inquiries.

procedures specified in the applicable Supplement in order to determine their satisfaction with Supplier’s provision of the Services. To the extent Supplier engages an independent third party to perform all or any part of any satisfaction survey, such third party shall be approved in advance by Kraft. Supplier shall be responsible for all costs associated with conducting the satisfaction surveys.

7.6.2

Kraft Conducted Surveys. In addition to the satisfaction surveys to be conducted by an independent third party pursuant to Section 7.6.1, Kraft may survey Authorized User satisfaction with Supplier’s performance in connection with and as part of broader Authorized User satisfaction surveys periodically conducted by Kraft.

Audit Assistance. Kraft and certain Eligible Recipients may be subject to regulation and audit by governmental bodies, standards organizations, other regulatory authorities, customers or other parties to contracts with Kraft or an Eligible Recipient under applicable Laws, rules, regulations, standards and contract provisions. If a governmental body, standards organization, other

regulatory authority or customer or other party to a contract with Kraft or an Eligible Recipient exercises its right to examine or audit Kraft’s or an Eligible Recipient’s books, records, documents or accounting practices and procedures pursuant to such Laws, rules, regulations, standards or contract provisions, Supplier shall provide all assistance reasonably requested by Kraft or the Eligible Recipient in responding to such audits or requests for information and shall do so in an expeditious manner to facilitate the prompt closure of such audit or request.

9.10.5

General Procedures.

9.10.5.1

Supplier shall obtain audit rights equivalent to those specified in this Section 9.10 from all Subcontractors and will cause such rights to extend to Kraft.

9.10.5.2

Notwithstanding the intended breadth of Kraft’s audit rights, Kraft shall not be given access to (A) the proprietary information of other Supplier customers, (B) Supplier locations that are not related to Kraft, the Eligible Recipients or the Services, (C) Supplier’s internal costs, except to the extent such costs are the basis upon which Kraft is charged (e.g., reimbursable expenses, Out-of-Pocket Expenses, Pass-Through Expenses or cost-plus Charges) and/or are necessary to calculate the applicable variable Charges, or (D) other Supplier Proprietary Information unrelated to the Services that Kraft does not otherwise have a right to obtain pursuant to this Agreement.

9.10.5.3

In performing audits, Kraft shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary disruption of Supplier’s operations and unnecessary interference with Supplier’s ability to perform the Services in accordance with the Service Levels. If Kraft elects to install audit software within Supplier's environment notwithstanding Supplier’s willingness and ability to provide Kraft with all data Kraft has the right to access hereunder and that it requires for its audit review, Kraft will indemnify and hold harmless Supplier from any Losses arising as a result of the installation or operation of that audit software.

9.10.5.4

Following any audit, Kraft shall conduct (in the case of an internal audit), or request its external auditors or examiners to conduct, an exit conference with Supplier to obtain factual concurrence with issues identified in the review.

9.10.5.5

Kraft shall be given adequate private workspace in which to perform an audit, plus access to photocopiers, telephones, facsimile machines, computer hook-ups, and any other facilities or equipment needed for the performance of the audit.

9.10.5.6

In performing audits, Kraft, Eligible Recipients and their internal and external auditors, inspectors, regulators or other representatives shall comply with Supplier’s physical and information security procedures and shall cause external auditors (other than government auditors) to comply with Kraft’s confidentiality obligations in Section 13.4. External auditors designated by Kraft shall not be direct Supplier competitors, which shall not in any case include professional accounting organizations.

9.10.6

Supplier Internal Audit. If Supplier determines as a result of its own internal audit that it has overcharged Kraft, then Supplier shall promptly pay to Kraft the amount of such overcharge, together with interest from the date of Supplier’s receipt of such overcharge at the Interest Rate.

9.10.7

Supplier Response. Supplier and Kraft shall meet promptly upon the completion of an audit conducted pursuant to this Section 9.10 (i.e., an exit interview) and/or issuance of an interim or final report to Supplier and Kraft following such an audit. Supplier will respond to each exit interview and/or audit report in writing within 30 days, unless a shorter response time is specified in such report. Supplier and Kraft shall develop and agree upon an action plan to promptly address and resolve any deficiencies, concerns and/or recommendations identified in such exit interview and/or audit report and Supplier, at its own expense, shall undertake remedial action in accordance with such action plan and the dates specified therein to the extent necessary to comply with Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement.

9.10.8

Supplier Response to External Audits. If an audit by a governmental body, standards organization or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Kraft, an Eligible Recipient or Supplier results in a finding that Supplier is not in compliance with any applicable Law or standard required by this Agreement, including any generally accepted accounting principle, Supplier shall, at its own expense and within the time period specified by such auditor, address and resolve the deficiency(ies) identified by such governmental body, standards organization or regulatory authority.

9.10.9

SSAE Audit.

9.10.9.1

Regular Audits. Supplier shall appoint one of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants member firms (“AICPA Auditors”) to conduct Type II ISAE 3402/SSAE 16 audit of each of the following Supplier’s operating systems using Supplier control standards located at a Supplier’s Service Management Centers (“SMC”): Mainframe OS 390, Windows NT/2000/2003, Unix HP, Unix IBM AIX, Unix Sun Solaris, Linux, and AS 400 platforms. Each such audit is called a “SSAE Audit”. Supplier’s obligation under the preceding sentences extends to Kraft, only to the extent that Supplier processes Kraft Data on any such operating system. Supplier agrees that, each calendar year during the Term, it will have one of the AICPA Auditors conduct, at Supplier’s expense, at least one SSAE Audit covering each type of operating system from which Kraft Data is processed at each SMC. Supplier shall provide Kraft with one copy of each applicable audit report resulting from such SSAE Audit (“SSAE Report”). To the extent Kraft obtain Services from Supplier’s SMC’s, any incremental remediation costs due to Supplier’s non-compliance with its obligation to provide the Services in accordance with Supplier’s control standards shall be borne by Supplier. For purposes of clarification, the Parties agree that if Kraft changes its environment in a manner that does not meet Supplier control standards, Supplier shall so notify Kraft and any operating system so affected may be excluded from the SSAE Audits discussed above.

9.10.9.2

Additional Audits. To the extent Kraft provides reasonable notice and requests that, in addition to the SSAE Audit described in Section 9.10.9.1, Supplier conducts a Kraft-specific SSAE Audit, Supplier shall do so at Kraft’s expense (provided, Supplier notifies Kraft of such expense, obtains Kraft’s approval and uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such expense). If, however, Supplier undertakes additional or different SSAE Audits (or equivalent audits) of Supplier Facilities at, from or through which Services are provided to Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients (other than customer-specific audits requested and paid for by other Supplier customers), Supplier shall accord Kraft the rights described in the preceding paragraph with respect to such audits.

9.10.9.3

Audit Requirements. Supplier shall permit Kraft to participate in the planning of each SSAE Audit described in Section 9.10.9.2, confer with Kraft as to the scope and timing of each such audit and accommodate Kraft’s requirements and concerns to the extent practicable. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, each SSAE Audit described in Section 9.10.9.2 shall be designed and conducted by an independent public accounting firm approved by Kraft to facilitate periodic compliance reporting by Kraft and the Eligible Recipients under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (and implementing regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) and comparable Laws in other jurisdictions. To the extent the resulting audit report is relevant to Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients, Supplier shall provide a copy of such report to Kraft and its independent auditors for review and comment as soon as reasonably practicable and in all events within 60 days of completion. Supplier shall respond to such report in accordance with Section 9.10.7.

9.10.10

Information-Technology Support. Supplier shall provide all information-technology support reasonably related to the Services and required for Kraft and the Eligible Recipients to meet all of the requirements imposed by applicable Laws, including the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, and to meet Kraft’s and the Eligible Recipients’ audit-compliance requirements, as such requirements may evolve from time to time, and which requirements may be more stringent than regulatory requirements imposed by applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kraft is solely responsible for providing Supplier in writing Kraft policies and procedures with regard to finance and accounting standards and other regulatory and applicable law requirements, including without limitation those related to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002. Kraft shall retain responsibility for the interpretation of applicable laws, rules, and regulations in order to determine Kraft’s requirements for compliance. Kraft acknowledges that Supplier's compliance with Kraft’s changes in such Laws or audit compliance requirements could result in Supplier performing New Services pursuant to Section 11.5.

9.10.11

Audit Costs. [ * * * ] and its [ * * * ] and suppliers shall provide the [ * * * ] described in [ * * * ] at [ * * * ] to [ * * * ], except as otherwise provided in [ * * * ].

9.11

Agency and Disbursements.

9.11.1

Disbursements. Beginning on the Commencement Date, Supplier shall make payments to certain lessors, licensors and vendors as paying agent of Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, or shall reimburse Kraft for payments made by Kraft or the Eligible Recipients to such lessors, licensors and vendors, if and to the extent such payments relate or to Third Party Contracts, Equipment leases or Third Party Software licenses as to which Supplier is financially responsible, but which have not been formally transferred to Supplier.

9.11.2

Limited Agency. Kraft hereby appoints Supplier as its limited agent during the Term solely for the purposes of and to the extent required for the administration of and payment of Pass-Through Expenses, amounts under Managed Third Party Contracts and Managed Telecom Transport Agreements, and amounts under Third Party Contracts, Equipment leases and Third Party Software licenses for which Supplier is financially responsible under Schedules 11.1, 12.1 or

12.3 or the applicable Supplement. Kraft shall appoint Supplier as its limited agent during the Term for other purposes as and to the extent it becomes necessary in order for Supplier to perform its responsibilities under this Agreement. At Supplier’s request, Kraft shall provide additional authorizations reasonably required to enable Supplier to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder in connection with such contracts, agreements and licenses. Kraft shall provide, on a timely basis, such affirmation of Supplier’s authority to such lessors, licensors, suppliers and other third parties as Supplier may reasonably request.

9.11.3

Reimbursement for Substitute Payment. If either Party in error pays to a third party an amount for which the other Party is responsible under this Agreement, the Party that is responsible for such payment shall promptly reimburse the paying Party for such amount.

9.11.4

Notice of Decommissioning. Supplier agrees to notify Kraft promptly if and to the extent any Kraft or Eligible Recipient owned Equipment or Kraft or Eligible Recipient leased Equipment will no longer be used to provide the Services. The notification will include the identification of the Equipment, and the date it will no longer be needed by Supplier, along with the reason for decommissioning. Upon receipt of any such notice, Kraft may (or may cause the applicable Eligible Recipient to), in its sole discretion, terminate the Equipment lease for such leased Equipment as of the date specified in such notice and sell or otherwise dispose of or redeploy such Kraft or Eligible Recipient owned Equipment that is the subject of such a notice as of the date specified in such notice. Upon Supplier ceasing to use any Equipment (or, in the case of leased Equipment, upon the last day Kraft or Eligible Recipient is obligated to make such leased Equipment available to Supplier, if earlier), Supplier shall return the same to Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s) in condition at least as good as the condition thereof on the date Supplier took possession or control thereof, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Supplier shall, at Supplier’s expense, deliver such Equipment to the location designated by Kraft, the Eligible Recipients and/or their designee(s).

9.11.5

Telecom Transport Services. To the extent necessary to provide the Services, Kraft hereby appoints Supplier as its limited agent during the Term solely for the purpose of negotiating, executing and administering one or more agreements with third party telecom transport providers with whom Supplier is legally incapable of contracting directly (collectively, “Managed Telecom Transport Providers”); provided, that Supplier shall obtain Kraft’s prior written consent to any such agency agreement. Supplier shall notify Kraft of changes that must be made to cause the terms and conditions of such agreements with Managed Telecom Transport Providers (“Managed Telecom Transport Agreements”) to be consistent in all material respects with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and, at Kraft’s request, assist Kraft in making those changes. Supplier shall manage each Managed Telecom Transport Provider as a managed third party pursuant to Section 6.6.

9.12

Subcontractors.

9.12.1

Use of Subcontractors. Prior to entering into a subcontract with a third party, or otherwise adding an existing Supplier subcontractor, for any portion of the Services that does not qualify as a Shared Subcontractor in accordance with Section 9.12.3, Supplier shall (i) at Kraft’s request, provide Kraft with a detailed description of the scope and material terms (other than pricing and other terms not pertinent to Kraft) of the proposed subcontract, including the duration of the contract, termination rights, obligations for which Kraft would be liable in the event Kraft elects to terminate this Agreement for convenience, and other information Kraft may reasonably

request; (ii) give Kraft reasonable prior notice of the subcontract, specifying the components of the Services affected, the scope of the proposed subcontract, the identity and qualifications of the proposed Subcontractor, and the reasons for subcontracting the work in question, the location of the Subcontractor facilities from which the Services will be provided, the extent to which the subcontract will be dedicated, and the Subcontractor’s willingness to grant the rights described in Section 6.4.3 upon expiration or termination; and (iii) obtain Kraft’s prior written approval of such Subcontractor. Kraft's approval of a Subcontractor shall not be deemed in any way to relieve Supplier from its obligations to perform the Services being performed by the Subcontractor on Supplier's behalf. Supplier’s agreements for Supplier’s provision of commodity Equipment that Supplier is required to supply as part of the Services (i.e., not on a cost-reimbursement or Pass-Through Expense basis) shall not constitute subcontracts that are subject to Kraft’s approval under this Section 9.12, provided that such contracts do not include the provision of any Services and do not affect any right, liability or obligation of Kraft during or after the Term.

9.12.2

Right to Revoke Approval. Kraft also shall have the right during the Term to revoke its prior approval of a Subcontractor and direct Supplier to replace such Subcontractor as soon as possible if the Subcontractor’s performance is materially deficient or if there are other reasonable grounds for removal. Supplier shall have a reasonable opportunity to investigate Kraft’s concerns, correct the Subcontractor’s deficient performance and provide Kraft with a written action plan to assure that such deficient performance will not recur. If Kraft is not reasonably satisfied with the Supplier’s efforts to correct the Subcontractor’s deficient performance and/or to ensure its non-recurrence, the Supplier shall, as soon as possible, remove and replace such Subcontractor. Supplier shall continue to perform its obligations under the Agreement, notwithstanding the removal of the Subcontractor. If Kraft requests the removal of the Subcontractor because the Subcontractor’s performance is materially deficient or because of the Subcontractor’s failure to comply with its obligations in this Agreement, such removal shall be at no additional cost to Kraft. If Kraft requests the removal of the Subcontractor for other reasons, then Kraft will be responsible for the net amount of (i) any termination or cancellation costs Supplier reasonably incurs with respect to removing such Subcontractor, and (ii) the differential between the cost of the replacement Subcontractor to Supplier as compared to the cost of the removed Subcontractor, provided that Supplier has (a) notified Kraft of such costs before Kraft’s final decision, and (b) Supplier uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such costs. Kraft shall have no responsibility under this Section 9.12.2 for any termination charges, cancellation fees, or other costs that Supplier may incur to the extent the removal of a Subcontractor results from changes in the volume or scope of Services, recognizing that such changes will be subject to the pricing set forth in the applicable Supplement.

9.12.3

Shared Subcontractors. Supplier may, in the ordinary course of business, enter into subcontracts related to Kraft (A) for [ * * * ], and (B) with a total estimated value of less than [ * * * ] (i) for [ * * * ] and not for [ * * * ], (ii) for [ * * * ] that are not [ * * * ] and that do not [ * * * ] with [ * * * ] personnel or the [ * * * ] at [ * * * ], (iii) with [ * * * ] for [ * * * ], or (iv) for [ * * * ] specialists who Supplier engages on a [ * * * ] to address [ * * * ] (collectively, “Shared Subcontractors”); provided, that such Shared Subcontractors possess the training and experience, competence and skill to perform the work in a skilled and professional manner. Supplier shall not be required to obtain Kraft’s prior approval of Shared Subcontractors. If, however, Kraft expresses dissatisfaction with the services of a Shared Subcontractor, Supplier shall work in good faith to resolve Kraft’s concerns on a mutually acceptable basis and, at Kraft request, replace such Shared Subcontractor at no additional cost to Kraft.

9.12.4

Supplier Responsibility. Unless otherwise approved by Kraft, the terms of any subcontract (but not including contracts for Supplier Overhead Materials) must be consistent (where “consistent” means either that such subcontract contains these requirements or such subcontract enables Supplier to direct the subcontractor as necessary to comply with such listed items set forth in clauses (i) through (vii)) with this Agreement, including: (i) confidentiality and intellectual property obligations; (ii) Kraft’s approval rights (which must apply directly to the Subcontractor); (iii) compliance with Kraft Standards, Strategic Plans and applicable Laws; (iv) compliance with Kraft’s policies and directions; (v) audit rights as described in Section 9.10; (vi) Key Supplier Personnel; and (vii) insurance coverage, as described in Section 16.1.1, with coverage limits consistent with the scope of the work to be performed by such Subcontractors. Supplier shall use a common methodology and tool set to ensure all of the Subcontractors are managed effectively and efficiently. Kraft acknowledges and approves Supplier’s use of Kraft assigned contracts notwithstanding that such contracts do not comply with all of the requirements of this Agreement as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the terms of the applicable subcontract, the approval of such Subcontractor by Kraft or the availability or unavailability of Subcontractor insurance, Supplier shall be and remain responsible and liable. Supplier shall be responsible for any failure by any Subcontractor or Subcontractor personnel to perform in accordance with this Agreement or to comply with any duties or obligations imposed on Supplier under this Agreement to the same extent as if such failure to perform or comply was committed by Supplier or Supplier employees. Supplier shall be responsible for the performance of all such Subcontractors and Subcontractor personnel providing any of the Services hereunder. Supplier shall be Kraft’s sole point of contact regarding the Services, including with respect to payment.

9.13

Government Contract Flow-Down Clauses.

9.13.1

General. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, as a matter of federal procurement law, Supplier may be deemed a “subcontractor” to Kraft and/or an Eligible Recipient under one or more of their contracts with the federal government, that the Services provided or to be provided by Supplier in such circumstances constitute “commercial items” as that term is defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 48 C.F.R. Section 52.202, and that “subcontractors” providing “commercial items” under government contracts are subject to certain mandatory “flow-down” clauses (currently, (i) Equal Opportunity, (ii) Affirmative Action for Special Disabled and Vietnam Era Veterans, and (iii) Affirmative Action for Handicapped Workers) under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 48 C.F.R. Section 52.244-6. The Parties agree that to the extent these specific clauses and any other government-mandated clauses are required to be flowed down to Supplier, Supplier shall comply with such clauses at no additional cost to Kraft.

9.13.2

Special Requirements. The Parties do not believe that the Services provided by Supplier under this Agreement will be subject to government flow-down requirements other than those associated with any subcontracts for commercial items. Should compliance by Supplier with additional flow-down provisions nevertheless be required by the federal government due to Supplier being a subcontractor under a government contract in which the Services fail to qualify as “commercial items”, then Kraft will reimburse Supplier for additional direct incremental costs of compliance approved by Kraft provided that (i) Supplier notifies Kraft of such costs before Supplier incurs them or begins providing the applicable Services, (ii) uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such costs, and (iii) Supplier equitably allocates such costs among Kraft and any other Supplier customers who have similar compliance requirements.

9.13.3

Special Purchases Support. Kraft’s intent is to purchase products and services from Small Disadvantaged Businesses and Small Woman Owned Businesses (collectively “SDBs”) in order to satisfy its goals and comply with government procurement laws and regulations. To help Kraft achieve its goals, Supplier agrees to establish as a goal the purchase, when commercially feasible, of products and services from SDBs, on behalf of Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients, in the performance of Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement. Supplier, as part of the Service, shall track invoice payments made to SDBs, and shall submit a quarterly summary to Kraft with respect to such activity. The failure of Supplier to meet its goal under this Section will not be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

9.14

Additional Telecommunications Matters.

9.14.1

Connection. To the extent technologically and operationally compatible and permitted by applicable Laws, (including any applicable tariffs other than tariffs filed by Supplier), the Services may be connected/interconnected by Kraft or an Eligible Recipient to other services provided by Supplier or to services provided by Kraft or an Eligible Recipient itself or any other vendor.

9.14.2

Change of Provider. To the extent Supplier elects to change one or more of its underlying providers of inter-exchange facilities, such change shall not, unless otherwise agreed, result in any interruption, diminution in service quality or increase in the Charges.

9.14.3

Compatibility. With respect to the compatibility of the Services with Equipment for which Kraft is financially and operationally responsible, Supplier agrees to consult with Kraft on request concerning the compatibility of Services with such Equipment including, in the case of Equipment and related software that Kraft proposes to acquire, informing Kraft of the likely effects (if any) of the use of such Equipment and related software on the quality, operating characteristics and efficiency of the Services and the effects (if any) of the Services on the operating characteristics and efficiency of such Equipment and related software. Supplier further agrees to provide all interface specifications requested by Kraft with respect to any Service.

9.14.4

Interconnections. Without limiting Supplier’s other obligations hereunder, at Kraft’s request, Supplier shall connect new Eligible Recipients and Authorized Users to the Kraft voice and data networks and systems as soon as practicable. If Supplier determines that the Systems used by such new Eligible Recipients or Authorized Users are incompatible in any material respect with the Kraft Standards or any other requirements for interconnection with the Kraft voice and data networks and systems, Supplier shall promptly notify Kraft prior to proceeding with such connection. Kraft shall have the right to require that Supplier proceed with the interconnection notwithstanding Supplier’s concerns regarding incompatibility. Supplier’s failure to meet the Service Levels or its other obligations shall be excused if and to the extent such failure is attributable to the connection of such new Eligible Recipients and Authorized Users to the Kraft voice and data networks and systems upon Kraft’s authorization, and despite Supplier’s notice that such connection may cause such failure as a result of the reported technical incompatibility.

9.15

Applicable Authority Actions.

9.15.1

Applicable Tariff. If Supplier, its Subcontractors and/or any Managed Telecom Transport Providers are required to file a tariff or other regulatory submission pursuant to Section 9.15.2, below, and the initial tariff option or regulatory submission to implement this Agreement is not permitted to become effective by the Applicable Regulatory Authority or if any ruling, order or

determination of such Applicable Regulatory Authority shall materially and adversely affect Supplier’s or its Subcontractors’ or Managed Telecom Transport Providers’ ability to offer the Services under the terms and conditions set forth herein, Supplier shall develop a proposal the purpose of which will be to provide comparable service to Kraft or an Eligible Recipient at rates at or below those set forth in, and on terms and conditions substantially equivalent to those contained in, this Agreement, to the extent permissible under applicable Laws. Kraft shall cooperate with Supplier in the development of such a proposal. Such service may be provided under (i) other existing Supplier, Subcontractor or Managed Third Party Telecom Transport Provider tariffs (if that can be done at such tariffs’ then-effective rates without further revision) or (ii) newly filed tariffs or regulatory submissions or (iii) public postings by Supplier, Subcontractor or Managed Third Party Telecom Transport Provider of rates and other terms of service. If (x) Supplier is unwilling or unable to develop such proposal within 20 business days of any such event, (y) such proposal is not reasonably acceptable to Kraft and Kraft notifies Supplier thereof as soon as Kraft becomes aware it is not reasonably acceptable and provides Supplier with ten (10) business days to cause the proposal to be reasonably acceptable to Kraft or (z) such proposal fails to take effect within 20 business days of the Parties’ agreement to such proposal, Kraft, as its sole remedy for the failure to develop or so implement such a proposal, shall have the right to terminate any affected portions of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.5.1. A proposal shall be deemed not reasonably acceptable to Kraft if it fails to comply with applicable Law, increases Kraft’s total costs of receiving the Services, requires material changes to Kraft’s or an Eligible Recipient’s facilities, systems, software, utilities, tools or equipment, has a material adverse impact on the functionality, interoperability, performance, accuracy, speed, responsiveness, quality or resource efficiency of the Services or violates or is inconsistent with Kraft Standards or Strategic Plans as specified in Section 9.5.

9.15.2

Regulatory Submission. To the extent required by Law, and within 30 days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Supplier, its Subcontractors and/or any Managed Third Party Telecom Transport Provider shall file any applicable tariff, tariff option or other regulatory submission required to implement the Agreement. Such filing shall be consistent in all material respects with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and shall not be less favorable to Kraft and the Eligible Recipients than the rates and other terms and conditions of this Agreement. Supplier shall make a copy of any applicable filings available to Kraft for Kraft’s review and inspection and shall provide Kraft with a copy of all amendments to such tariffs or other filings having a bearing on the Agreement when such amendments are filed with the appropriate governmental agencies. In addition, Supplier shall provide a draft of any revisions that may substantively affect Kraft’s rights and obligations under this Agreement at least 10 days before such revisions are filed with and Applicable Regulatory Authority, where feasible. If Supplier, its Subcontractors and/or any Managed Third Party Telecom Transport Provider makes revisions to a tariff, tariff option or other submission that materially and adversely affect Kraft’s rights hereunder without obtaining Kraft’s prior written consent, Kraft shall have the right to terminate any affected portions of this Agreement without payment of Termination Charges or other liability.

9.15.3

Agreement to Not Interpose Defense. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not (and Supplier shall cause its Subcontractors and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Managed Telecom Transport Providers not to) interpose as a defense in any action to enforce the other Party’s rights under this Agreement that such terms and conditions are invalid or unenforceable because of inconsistency with Supplier’s or its Subcontractors’ or Managed Telecom Transport Providers’ tariffs, tariff options or other regulatory submission, if any.

9.15.4

Detariff. If, at any time during the Term, an Applicable Regulatory Authority with jurisdiction over a material portion of the Services, pursuant to a final order that is not subject to further appeal, alters the rules or regulations applicable to Supplier, its Subcontractors and/or Managed Telecom Transport Providers or the Services in a manner that requires or permits Supplier, its Subcontractors and/or Managed Telecom Transport Providers to detariff all or any material portion of the Services, Supplier shall, shall cause its Subcontractors and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Managed Telecom Transport Providers to, promptly detariff (and withdraw any tariff, tariff option or other regulatory submission specifically relating to) such Services or the affected portions thereof.

9.15.5

Tariff Copy and Revision. Supplier shall make a copy of its, its Subcontractors’ and/or Managed Telecom Transport Providers’ filed tariffs available to Kraft for Kraft’s review and inspection and shall, in accordance with Supplier’s, its Subcontractors’ and/or Managed Telecom Transport Providers’ standard tariff update service, provide Kraft with a copy of all amendments to the tariffs related to this Agreement when such amendments are filed with the appropriate regulatory authority. In addition, Supplier shall provide a draft of any of its tariff revisions that substantively adversely affect Kraft’s rights and obligations under this Agreement at least 10 days before such revisions are filed with the Applicable Regulatory Authority, where feasible. Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Subcontractors, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Managed Telecom Transport Providers to, make no revisions to a tariff or a tariff option that materially and adversely affect Kraft’s rights hereunder without obtaining Kraft’s prior written consent.

9.15.6

Division of Agreement. If, at any time during the Term, an Applicable Regulatory Authority with jurisdiction over a material portion of the Services determines that it is unlawful for Supplier, its Subcontractors and/or Managed Telecom Transport Providers to provide both regulated and non-regulated Services under a single agreement, the Parties agree to execute a separate agreement under which the non-regulated services will be provided and, except as otherwise agreed by the Parties or required by applicable Laws, the terms and conditions applicable to such non-regulated Services shall be identical in all non-material respects to those provided herein.

9.15.7

Adverse Law. If, at any time during the Term, an Applicable Regulatory Authority with jurisdiction over a material portion of the Services promulgates or passes a Law that adversely affects Supplier’s or its Subcontractors’ ability to offer the Services under the terms and conditions set forth herein, to the extent permitted by applicable law Supplier shall provide service to Kraft and the Eligible Recipients under other arrangements with rates, terms and conditions no less favorable to Kraft and the Eligible Recipients than those set forth in this Agreement. If any such Law shall require the enhancement or improvement of a Service provided under this Agreement, Supplier shall not, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Subcontractors not to, resist same and shall improve or enhance such Service as required.

9.16

Unauthorized Use.

Kraft and Supplier shall cooperate fully in efforts to prevent and cure unauthorized use of the Services by expeditiously informing each other of suspected abuse and, when known, the identity of the responsible individuals. Supplier shall advise Kraft regarding methods to minimize Kraft’s and the Eligible Recipients’ exposure to misuse and abuse of Kraft’s and the Eligible Recipients’ service that results from

the operation of Kraft or Eligible Recipient-provided systems, equipment, facilities or services interconnected with Supplier’s Services. Supplier shall provide assistance to Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients’ upon Kraft’s request in Supplier’s efforts to minimize ongoing misuse or abuse through timely reconfiguration and limitation of the Services. Appropriate representatives of Supplier, Kraft and Eligible Recipient shall meet at the request of Kraft to establish appropriate operational fraud control procedures. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Supplier’s performance of its obligations under this Section 9.16 shall be subject to and in accordance with applicable Privacy Laws.

9.17

Technological Evolution.

9.17.1

Obligation to Evolve. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that its current technologies and business processes shall continue to evolve and change over time, and at a minimum, shall remain consistent with (i) the established best practices of leading providers of information technology and other in-scope services; (ii) the business, information technology objectives and competitive needs of Kraft and the Eligible Recipients; and (iii) the services, functions, processes and responsibilities that are of a nature and type that would ordinarily be performed by the organization or part of the organization performing services similar to the Services within a company in the packaged-consumer-goods industry. Supplier acknowledges that Kraft operates in an environment characterized by constant change that directly affects the delivery of Services. Subject to Section 9.5, Supplier shall provide the Services using current technologies and business processes that will enable Kraft and the Eligible Recipients to take advantage of advances in the industry and support their efforts to maintain competitiveness in the markets in which it competes. In addition, subject to Section 9.5, Supplier shall make such current technologies and business processes available to Kraft to perform information technology services and other related services and functions on behalf of itself and/or the Eligible Recipients at or from Kraft facilities. Supplier will, with Kraft’s prior approval, use such advancements and improvements without additional charge to Kraft unless such advancements and improvements fall within the definition of New Services. The foregoing shall not be interpreted to require Supplier to refresh Equipment at a rate that is faster than the rate specified in the applicable Supplement for such Equipment.

9.17.2

Annual Technology and Business Process Audit. Kraft may elect to conduct an annual technology and business process audit to benchmark Supplier’s then-current technologies and business processes against the established best practices of leading providers of information technology services and other in-scope outsourcing services. If any such audit reveals that the technologies and business process then utilized by Supplier are not at the level of such established best practice, then Kraft and the Supplier will review the results of the audit and promptly establish and implement a plan to implement identified established best practices.

9.17.3

Obligation to Propose Technological Evolutions. Supplier shall identify and propose the implementation of Technological Evolutions that are likely to: (i) improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Services (including cost savings); (ii) improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the information technology services and functions performed by or for Kraft and the Eligible Recipients at or from Kraft Facilities; (iii) result in cost savings or revenue increases to Kraft and the Eligible Recipients in areas of their business outside the Services; (iv) enhance the ability of Kraft and the Eligible Recipients to conduct their business and serve their customers; and (v) achieve the objectives of Kraft and the Eligible Recipients (as described in Section 1.2) faster and/or more efficiently than the then current strategies. Supplier shall regularly make recommendations to Kraft with regard to the Technology and Business Process Evolution that Supplier sees in established best practice in the industry.

9.17.4

Supplier Briefings and Technology and Business Process Audit. Supplier shall routinely and regularly monitor and analyze Technological Evolutions of possible interest or applicability to Kraft and the Eligible Recipients. At least semi-annually, Supplier shall meet with Kraft to formally brief Kraft regarding such Technological Evolutions. Such briefing shall include Supplier’s assessment of the business impact, performance improvements and cost savings associated with such Technological Evolutions. Where requested by Kraft, Supplier shall develop and present to Kraft proposals for (i) implementing Technological Evolutions or (ii) changing the direction of Kraft’s then current strategy.

9.17.5

Supplier Developed Advances. If Supplier develops or implements technological advances in or changes to the business processes and services and associated technologies used to provide the same or substantially similar services to other Supplier customers or Supplier develops or implements new or enhanced processes, services, software, tools, products or methodologies to be offered to such customers (collectively, “New Advances”), Supplier shall, subject to Section 11.5 and its contractual obligations to its other customers, (i) offer Kraft the opportunity to serve as a pilot customer in connection with the implementation of such New Advances; and (ii) if [ * * * ], offer [ * * * ] preferred [ * * * ] and the [ * * * ] to be [ * * * ] of the [ * * * ] to implement and receive the [ * * * ] of any [ * * * ].

9.17.6

Flexibility. Supplier shall ensure that the technologies and business process strategies it employs to provide the Services meet industry standards and are flexible enough to allow integration with new technologies or business processes, or significant changes in Kraft’s or an Eligible Recipient's business objectives and strategies. For example, Equipment must have sufficient scalability and be sufficiently modular to allow integration of new technologies without the need to replace whole, or significant parts of, systems or business processes (e.g., made to be a one-to-many model) to enable Kraft’s and/or the Eligible Recipients' business to become more scalable and flexible.

9.17.7

Equipment Implementation and Refresh. Supplier shall be fully responsible for the implementation of new Equipment in the ordinary course of Technological Evolution, provided that the foregoing shall not be interpreted to require Supplier to refresh Equipment at a rate that is faster than the rate specified in the applicable Supplement for such Equipment. Supplier shall refresh all Equipment in accordance with Kraft’s refresh strategies, as set out in the Technology Plan, and as necessary to provide the Services in accordance with the Service Levels and satisfy its other obligations under this Agreement. If Supplier is aware that these strategies differ from generally accepted practice (or there are any other areas of concern in relation to such strategies) it shall provide Kraft with notice of that fact and, upon request, provide Kraft with further information as to how to more closely align the strategies with generally accepted practice. Kraft shall have the right to waive refresh of Equipment under its control. If Kraft does waive refresh of Equipment under its control, Supplier will work with Kraft to assess and address any impact on Supplier’s support costs consistent with Section 11.2. Supplier’s failure to meet the Service Levels shall be excused if and to the extent such failure is attributable to Kraft’s waiver of Equipment refresh but only if: (i) Supplier notifies Kraft prior to its final decision that Supplier will not be able, using commercially reasonable efforts, to meet such Service Levels under such circumstances; (ii) Supplier identifies and considers commercially reasonable alternatives available to address and avoid the impending performance failure; and (iii) Supplier uses commercially reasonable efforts, without additional cost to Supplier, to meet such Service Levels notwithstanding Kraft’s rejection of or insistence on waiving such Equipment refresh.

9.17.8

Software Implementation and Refresh. Supplier shall be fully responsible for the implementation of new or changed Software, tools and methodologies with respect to and consistent with the then current scope of Supplier’s Services as set forth in the applicable Supplement and elsewhere in this Agreement, and consistent with the allocation of financial and operational responsibilities set forth in the applicable Supplement, in the ordinary course of Technological Evolution. Supplier shall (i) refresh Software in accordance with Section 9.7 of this Agreement and the Technology Plan; and (ii) provide training to Kraft staff regarding the use of any new or changed Software, tools and methodologies. Kraft shall have the right to waive refresh of Software, tools or methodologies under its control. If Kraft does waive refresh of Software, tools or methodologies under its control, Supplier will work with Kraft to assess and address any impact on Supplier’s support costs. Supplier’s failure to meet the Service Levels shall be excused if and to the extent such failure is attributable to Kraft’s waiver of Software, tools or methodologies refresh but only if: (i) Supplier notifies Kraft that Supplier will not be able, using commercially reasonable efforts, to meet such Service Levels under such circumstances; (ii) Supplier identifies and considers commercially reasonable alternatives available to address and avoid the impending performance failure; and (iii) Supplier uses commercially reasonable efforts, without additional cost to Supplier, to meet such Service Levels notwithstanding Kraft’s rejection of or insistence on waiving such of Software, tools or methodologies refresh.

Savings Clause.

10.2.1

Requirements.

CHARGES

11.1

General.

11.1.1

Payment of Charges. In consideration of Supplier’s performance of the Services, Kraft agrees to pay Supplier the applicable Charges that are set forth in the applicable Supplement beginning as of the Commencement Date. Supplier shall continually seek to identify methods of reducing such Charges and will notify Kraft of such methods and the estimated potential savings associated with each such method.

11.1.2

No Additional Charges. Kraft shall not pay any Charges for the Services other than those set forth in this Agreement. Any costs incurred by Supplier prior to the Effective Date are included in the Charges as set forth in the applicable Supplement and are not to be separately paid or reimbursed by Kraft.

11.1.3

Incidental Expenses. Supplier acknowledges that, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, expenses that Supplier incurs in performing the Services (including management, travel and lodging, document reproduction and shipping, desktop Equipment and other office Equipment required by Supplier Personnel, and long-distance telephone) are included in Supplier’s charges and rates set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, such Supplier expenses are not separately reimbursable by Kraft unless Kraft has agreed in advance and in writing to reimburse Supplier for the expense.

11.1.4

No Charge for Reperformance. At no additional expense to Kraft, Supplier shall reperform (including any required backup or restoration of data from scheduled backups or, if not available on such backups, restoration by other means with Kraft’s reasonable cooperation) any Services that result in incorrect outputs due to an error or breach by Supplier, and the resources required for such performance shall not be counted in calculating the Charges payable or resources utilized by Kraft hereunder.

11.1.5

Charges for Contract Changes. Unless otherwise agreed from time to time, and except as noted in the applicable Supplement, changes in the Services (including changes in Kraft Standards, Strategic Plans, Technology Plans, business processes, Software, Equipment and Systems) and changes in the rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement (collectively, “Contract Changes”) shall result in changes in the applicable Charges only if and to the extent (i) the Agreement expressly provides for a change in the Supplier Charges in such circumstances; (ii) the agreed-upon Charges or pricing methodology expressly provides for a price change in such circumstances (for example, the applicable Supplement specifies the number of FTEs or hours of coverage to be provided for the quoted price, or defines a Resource Baseline for the Resource Unit in question with ARCs and RRCs for increased or decreased usage); or (iii) the Contract Change meets the definition of New Services for purposes of Section 11.5 and additional Charges are applicable in accordance therewith.

11.1.6

Eligible Recipient Services.

11.1.6.1

Eligible Recipients. Supplier shall provide the Services to Eligible Recipients designated by Kraft. To the extent a designated Eligible Recipient will receive less than all of the Services, Kraft shall identify the categories of Services to be provided by Supplier to such Eligible Recipient.

11.1.6.2

New Eligible Recipients. From time to time Kraft may request that Supplier provide Services to Eligible Recipients not previously receiving such Services. Except as provided in Section 11.5 or otherwise agreed by the Parties, such Services shall be performed in accordance with the terms, conditions and prices (excluding any non-recurring transition or start-up activities specific to such Eligible Recipients) then applicable to the provisions of the same Services to existing Eligible Recipients.

11.1.6.3

Election Procedure. In the event of a transaction described in clause (c) or (d) within the definition of Eligible Recipient in Schedule 1, Kraft may elect, on behalf of the Eligible Recipient in question, either (i) that such Eligible Recipient shall continue to obtain Services in some or all of the Services or Tower subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the remainder of the Term, (ii) that the Entity shall obtain some or all of the Services under a separate agreement between Supplier and such Entity containing the same terms and conditions as this Agreement or (iii) that the Term shall be terminated as to such Eligible Recipient with respect to some or all Services as of a specified date, subject to its receipt of Termination Assistance Services pursuant to Section 4.4. If the Services are provided under a separate agreement, Kraft shall have no obligation to pay any fees in relation to the Services provided to such Entity. To the extent that such Entity obtains only a portion of the Services within a Tower or less than all of the related Cross Functional Services required to support the selected Services, Supplier will promptly notify Kraft if it believes the Service Levels and the pricing for the partial services may have to be modified to take account of Supplier’s diminished control of the Service Levels and any change in Supplier cost structure for providing the partial set of Services. In such event, Supplier and Kraft will in good faith promptly negotiate any Service Level or pricing adjustments required. Except as provided in a Supplement, in addition, if in connection with such a transaction, Kraft specifically requests that Supplier enter into a separate agreement with the Entity, and that Supplier separate its systems and/or delivery organization for such Entity from that of the remainder of Kraft and the Eligible Recipients, then, in addition to any Charges for Projects approved by Kraft for such activity (including Projects to implement new network and security requirements) and changes in costs resulting from changes in locations and System architecture, Supplier may increase its Monthly Base Charges in the aggregate by an amount equal to the additional costs Supplier will incur in complying with Kraft's request. Except as provided in a Supplement, Services provided to such Entity pursuant to clause (i) of this Section shall be included in the calculation of Service volumes, if any, under this Agreement (as allocated by Kraft). Except as provided in a Supplement, Services provided to such Entity pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section shall be excluded when determining any Termination Charges payable as a result of termination for convenience.

11.2

Pass-Through Expenses.

11.2.1

Procedures and Payment. Supplier shall administer Pass-Through Expenses identified in the applicable Supplement as follows. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Kraft shall pay all Pass-Through Expenses directly to the applicable vendors following review, validation and approval of such Pass-Through Expenses by Supplier. Where the applicable information was provided to Supplier, Supplier shall review taxes, surcharges and user fees for reasonableness on a periodic basis, however Kraft acknowledges that Supplier will have no obligation to verify the accuracy of any taxes, surcharges or usage fees. No new Pass-Through Expenses may be added without Kraft’s prior consent. Before submitting an invoice to Kraft for any Pass-Through

Expense, Supplier shall (i) review and validate the invoiced charges, (ii) identify any errors or omissions, and (iii) communicate with the applicable vendor to correct any errors or omissions, use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any questions or issues, and obtain any applicable credits for Kraft. Supplier shall deliver to Kraft the original supplier invoice, together with any documentation supporting such invoice and a statement that Supplier has reviewed and validated the invoiced charges, within 10 days after Supplier’s receipt thereof; provided that, if earlier, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such invoice, documentation and statement at least five business days prior to the date on which payment is due; and provided further that, if it is not possible to deliver such invoice, documentation and statement at least five business days prior to the due date, Supplier shall promptly notify Kraft and, at Kraft’s option, either request additional time for review and validation or submit the invoice for payment subject to subsequent review and validation. In addition, if the vendor offers a discount for payment prior to a specified date, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such invoice and associated documentation to Kraft at least five business days prior to such date. To the extent Supplier fails to comply with its obligations hereunder, it shall be financially responsible for any discounts lost or any late fees or interest charges incurred by Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients. No new Pass-Through Expenses may be added without Kraft’s prior consent, which it may withhold in its sole discretion.

11.2.2

Efforts to Minimize. Supplier will continually seek to identify methods of reducing and minimizing Kraft’s retained and Pass-Through Expenses and will notify Kraft of such methods and the estimated potential savings associated with each such method.

11.2.3

[ * * * ]. If [ * * * ] proposes an [ * * * ] not [ * * * ] by [ * * * ], and not otherwise [ * * * ] by [ * * * ], that [ * * * ] elects to implement, then [ * * * ], in its sole discretion, may agree on a case by case basis to [ * * * ] a [ * * * ] of the [ * * * ] directly [ * * * ] to the [ * * * ] for a [ * * * ] not to exceed [ * * * ].

Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the procurement price of such products and services shall be treated as a Pass-Through Expense or otherwise passed through to Kraft without Supplier markup. For all other products and services Kraft may request Supplier to procure on Kraft's behalf, Supplier will quote to Kraft terms, including prices, for such products and services, and upon Kraft's approval, will obtain the products and services on Kraft's behalf on those terms.

11.3.3

Supplier may use existing agreements between Supplier and third party vendors or enter into new agreements with third party vendors to procure such products and services on a Pass-Through Expense or, if agreed upon by the Parties, on a cost-reimbursement basis. Supplier’s use of such agreements for such purchases shall be conditioned on and subject to the following: (i) Kraft approving in advance the terms, conditions and pricing of such agreements and any financial or other commitments made therein by or on behalf of Kraft or the Eligible Recipients; (ii) Supplier complying with the terms and conditions of such agreements and accepting responsibility for meeting any minimum volumes; (iii) Supplier passing through to Kraft any refunds, credits, discounts or other rebates; (iv) Supplier retaining responsibility for curing any breaches of such agreements and indemnifying, in accordance with Section 17.5, Kraft or the Eligible Recipients for any Losses in connection with such breaches; and (v) such agreements offering more favorable pricing and equivalent or better terms and conditions for the requested product or service than the master agreements existing as of the Commencement Date that are between Kraft and third party vendors.

11.3.5

If, at any time, Kraft determines that the pricing and terms and conditions available through Supplier are not as favorable as those Kraft could obtain on its own, Kraft reserves the right to select and negotiate with the provider of such third party products and services and Supplier shall comply with Kraft’s decision with respect thereto.

11.3.6

With respect to all products and services purchased by Supplier for Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients on Pass-Through Expense or, where agreed upon by the Parties, on a cost-reimbursement basis during the course of performing the Services, Supplier shall use commercially available efforts to pass through, or otherwise provide, to Kraft and/or the applicable Eligible Recipient(s) all benefits offered by the manufacturers and/or vendors of such products and services(including all warranties, refunds, credits, rebates, discounts, training, technical support and other consideration offered by such manufacturers and vendors) except to the extent otherwise agreed by Kraft. If Supplier is unable to pass through any such benefit to Kraft and/or the applicable Eligible Recipient(s), it shall notify Kraft in advance and shall not purchase such product or service without Kraft’s prior approval.

11.3.7

Except as expressly agreed in writing by Kraft, Supplier represents and warrants that Supplier will only procure such products and services for Kraft with manufacturers and/or vendors with whom Supplier has an arm’s-length relationship.

11.4

Taxes.

The Parties’ respective responsibilities for taxes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be as follows:

11.4.1

Income Taxes. Each Party shall be responsible for its own Income Taxes.

11.4.2

11.4.3

[Intentionally left blank]

11.4.4

Taxes on Goods or Services Used by Supplier. Supplier shall be responsible for all sales, service, value-added, lease, use, personal property, excise, consumption, and other taxes and duties payable by Supplier on any goods or services used and consumed by Supplier in providing the Services (including services obtained from Subcontractors) where the tax is imposed on Supplier’s acquisition of such goods or services and the amount of tax is measured by Supplier’s costs in acquiring or procuring such goods or services and not by Kraft’s cost of acquiring such goods or services from Supplier.

11.4.5

Service Taxes. Unless Kraft provides Supplier with a valid and applicable exemption certificate there shall be added to any Charges under the applicable Supplement, or a separate billing for, and Kraft will be financially responsible for and shall pay or reimburse Supplier for any and all Service Taxes however designated, assessed, imposed or levied on or against either Party on the provision of the Services as a whole, or on any particular Service received by Kraft or the Eligible Recipients, provided however, where required by applicable local tax Laws, Charges shall be increased to include the applicable Service Taxes. If new or higher Service Taxes thereafter become applicable to the Services as a result of either Party moving all or part of its operations to a different jurisdiction (e.g., Kraft opening a new office, Supplier relocating performance of Services to a shared service center or assigning this Agreement to an Affiliate), the Party initiating such move shall be financially responsible for such new or higher Service Taxes. [ * * * ] will provide [ * * * ] with advice and assistance from [ * * * ] to assist [ * * * ] in analyzing and minimizing [ * * * ] obligations for [ * * * ] related to [ * * * ].

11.4.6

Telecommunication Surcharges or User Fees. To the extent Kraft is responsible under the applicable Supplement for telecommunication surcharges or user fees and related telecommunication taxes imposed by government authorities and associated with the Services and the allocation of such fees, taxes or surcharges is within Supplier’s or its Subcontractors’ discretion, Supplier and its Subcontractors shall act fairly and equitably in allocating such fees, taxes and surcharges to Kraft, and Kraft and the Eligible Recipients shall not receive more than a proportionate share of such fees, taxes and surcharges; it being understood that Supplier will not be deemed to have such discretion on allocation where the surcharge, tax or user fee is directed

specifically at Kraft. In addition, in the event any such fee, tax or surcharge for which Kraft or an Eligible Recipient is responsible is subsequently reduced or vacated by the appropriate regulatory authority or court of competent jurisdiction, then where the Parties agree and at Kraft’s expense, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain on behalf of Kraft a refund of any overpayment of such fee or surcharge by Kraft or the Eligible Recipient.

11.4.7

Notice of New Taxes and Charges. Supplier shall promptly notify Kraft when it becomes aware of any new taxes or other charges (including changes to existing taxes or charges) to be passed through and/or collected by Kraft under this Section.

11.4.8

Efforts to Minimize Taxes. The Parties agree to cooperate fully with each other to enable each to more accurately determine its own tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible. Supplier’s invoices shall separately state the Charges that are subject to taxation and the amount of taxes included therein. Supplier shall be responsible for any unrecovered Service Taxes that Kraft is required to pay as a result of Supplier’s failure to provide invoices (or corrected invoices, to the extent they can enable Kraft to avoid the tax payment obligation) in such format. Each Party will provide and make available to the other any resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state or out-of-country sales or use of equipment, materials or services, and other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by either Party. At Kraft’s reasonable request, Supplier shall provide Kraft with (i) an annual written certification signed by an authorized representative of Supplier, and, if required more frequently than annually, other evidence confirming that Supplier has filed all required tax forms and returns required in connection with any Service Taxes collected from Kraft, and has collected and remitted all applicable Service Taxes, and (ii) such other information pertaining to applicable Taxes as Kraft may reasonably request.

11.4.9

Tax Audits or Proceedings. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of, and coordinate with the other Party, the response to and settlement of, any claim for taxes asserted by applicable taxing authorities for which the other Party is financially responsible hereunder. With respect to any claim arising out of a form or return signed by a Party to this Agreement, such Party will have the right to elect to control the response to and settlement of the claim, but the other Party will have all rights to participate in the responses and settlements to the extent of its potential responsibility or liability. Each Party also shall have the right to challenge the imposition of any tax liability for which it is financially responsible under this Agreement or, if necessary, to direct the other Party to challenge the imposition of any such tax liability. If either Party requests the other to challenge the imposition of any tax liability, such other Party shall do so (unless and to the extent it assumes financial responsibility for the tax liability in question), and, the requesting Party shall reimburse the other for all fines, penalties, interest, additions to taxes or similar liabilities imposed in connection therewith, plus the reasonable legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses it incurs. Each Party shall be entitled to any tax refunds or rebates obtained with respect to the taxes for which such Party is financially responsible under this Agreement. Supplier reserves the right to settle any and all claims, without notification to, or approval by, Kraft, provided however, that in such event, Kraft shall not be responsible for such settled taxes, and Supplier shall reimburse Kraft to the extent Kraft had paid such taxes.

11.4.10

Tax Filings. Each Party represents, warrants and covenants that it will file appropriate tax returns, and pay applicable taxes owed arising from or related to the provision of the Services in applicable jurisdictions. Supplier represents, warrants and covenants that it is registered to remit Service Taxes that it collects from Kraft.

11.4.11

Where Kraft is required by the Laws of any foreign tax jurisdiction to withhold income or other similar taxes from a payment, the amount payable by Kraft upon which the withholding is based shall be paid to Supplier net of such withholding. Kraft shall pay any such withholding to the applicable tax authority and timely provide Supplier with applicable documentation, certificates of withholding, or receipts necessary for Supplier to claim the withholding taxes from the applicable Taxing Authority. If after 60 days of receipt of such documentation by Kraft from the taxing authority, Kraft has not supplied Supplier with the required certificates of withholding, documentation or receipts, then Supplier shall invoice Kraft or the applicable Eligible Recipient for such withholding taxes and Kraft or such Eligible Recipient shall either pay to Supplier an amount equal to such withholding or provide the required certificates of withholding, documentation or receipts within 60 days after Kraft’s or such Eligible Recipient’s receipt of an invoice for such amounts from Supplier. In the event that Supplier does not agree with any particular withholding Supplier shall request, and Kraft or such Eligible Recipient shall provide, a reasonable explanation for such withholding. If, after receipt of such reasonable explanation, Supplier still disputes the withholding, Supplier may use the dispute resolution provisions in Article 19 to resolve such dispute.

11.5

New Services.

11.5.1

Procedures.

11.5.1.1

New Services Proposals. If Kraft requests that Supplier perform any New Services reasonably related to the Services or other services generally provided by Supplier, Supplier shall promptly prepare a New Services proposal for Kraft’s consideration. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Supplier shall prepare such New Services proposal [ * * * ] and shall deliver such proposal to Kraft within 10 days of its receipt of Kraft’s request; provided, that (a) Supplier shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to respond more quickly in the case of a pressing business need or an emergency situation; and (b) Supplier shall promptly notify Kraft if the complexity of the requested New Services makes it impractical for the Supplier to provide a proposal within 10 days, in which case Supplier shall promptly advise Kraft of the time Supplier will require, and shall provide such proposal as soon as reasonably practicable. Kraft shall provide such information as Supplier reasonably requests in order to prepare such New Service proposal. Such New Services proposal shall include, among other things, the following at a level of detail sufficient to permit Kraft to make an informed business decision: (i) a project plan and fixed price or price estimate for the New Service; (ii) a breakdown of such price or estimate, (iii) a description of the service levels to be associated with such New Service, (iv) a schedule for commencing and completing the New Service, (v) a description of the new hardware or software to be provided by Supplier in connection with the New Service, (vi) a description of the software, hardware and other resources, including Resource Unit utilization, necessary to provide the New Service, (vii) any additional facilities or labor resources to be provided by Kraft or the Eligible Recipients in connection with the proposed New Service, and (viii) in the case of any Developed Materials to be created through the provision of the proposed New Services, any ownership rights therein that differ from the provisions of Section 14.2.

11.5.1.2

Acceptance or Rejection. Kraft may accept or reject any New Services proposal in its sole discretion and Supplier shall not be obligated to perform any New Services to the extent the applicable proposal is rejected. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, if Kraft accepts Supplier’s proposal, Supplier will perform the New Services and be paid in accordance with the proposal submitted by Supplier and the provisions of the applicable Supplement. Upon Kraft’s acceptance of a Supplier proposal for New Services, the scope of the Services will be expanded and the applicable Supplement will be modified to include such New Services. If Supplier is unable to provide such New Services related to the Services using its own resources, Kraft may require Supplier to engage (as Supplier’s subcontractor) a third party approved or selected by Kraft to provide such services. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, (i) Supplier shall act reasonably and in good faith in formulating such pricing proposal, (ii) Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify potential means of reducing the cost to Kraft, including utilizing Subcontractors as and to the extent appropriate, (iii) such pricing proposal shall be [ * * * ] than the [ * * * ], and (iv) such pricing proposal shall take into account [ * * * ].

11.5.1.3

[ * * * ] Expenses. The [ * * * ] requirement set forth in [ * * * ] of the definition of [ * * * ] (in Schedule 1) shall not apply to [ * * * ] for purchase of [ * * * ] which cannot be performed [ * * * ], or the purchase of [ * * * ], to the extent that such [ * * * ]: (1) result in changes to [ * * * ] specifically requested [ * * * ] and are not otherwise required for [ * * * ] to meet its then current obligations under [ * * * ], including its obligations under [ * * * ] below; (2) are approved by [ * * * ] in writing in advance; and (3) are not offset by costs or expenses that are avoided as a result of [ * * * ].

11.5.2

Use of Third Parties. Kraft may elect to solicit and receive bids from third parties to perform any New Services. If Kraft elects to use third parties to perform New Services, (i) such New Services shall not be deemed “Services” under the provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) Supplier shall cooperate with such third parties as provided in Section 4.5.

11.5.3

Services Evolution and Modification. The Parties anticipate that the Services will evolve and be supplemented, modified, enhanced or replaced over time to keep pace with technological advancements and improvements in the methods of delivering Services and changes in the businesses of Kraft and the Eligible Recipients, provided that the foregoing shall not be interpreted to require Supplier to refresh Equipment at a rate that is faster than the rate specified in the applicable Supplement for such Equipment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that these changes will modify the Services and will not be deemed to result in New Services unless the changed services meet the definition of New Services.

11.5.4

Authorized User and Eligible Recipient Requests. Supplier will promptly inform the Kraft Contract Manager of requests for New Services from Authorized Users or Eligible Recipients, and shall submit any proposals for New Services to the Kraft Contract Manager or his or her designee. Supplier shall not agree to provide New Services to any Authorized Users or Eligible Recipients without the prior written approval of the Kraft Contract Manager or his or her designee. If Supplier fails to comply strictly with this Section 11.5.4, it shall receive no compensation for any services rendered to any person or entity in violation of such provision.

11.5.5

Efforts to Reduce Costs and Charges. The Supplier will continually explore and identify opportunities to improve the Services and reduce Kraft’s costs, and will advise Kraft management of each opportunity that is identified and estimate the potential savings. From time to time, Kraft may request that the Parties work together to identify ways to achieve reductions in the cost of service delivery and corresponding reductions in the Charges to be paid by Kraft by modifying or reducing the nature or scope of the Services to be performed by Supplier, the applicable Service Levels or other contract requirements. If requested by Kraft, Supplier shall promptly prepare a proposal at a level of detail sufficient to permit Kraft to make an informed business decision identifying all viable means of achieving the desired reductions without adversely impacting business objectives or requirements identified by Kraft. In preparing such a proposal, Supplier shall give due consideration to any means of achieving such reductions proposed by Kraft. Supplier shall negotiate in good faith with Kraft about each requested reduction in Charges and, without disclosing the actual cost of providing the Services, shall identify for Kraft if and to what extent the cost of service delivery may be reduced by implementing various changes in the contract requirements. Kraft shall not be obligated to accept or implement any proposal; and Supplier shall not be obligated to implement any change that affects the terms of this Agreement unless and until such change is reflected in a written amendment to this Agreement. The foregoing shall not be interpreted to require Supplier to share with Kraft the benefit of the cost efficiencies that Supplier is able to achieve without requiring Kraft’s investment or approval.

11.6

Extraordinary Events.

11.6.1

Definition. As used in this Agreement, an “Extraordinary Event” shall mean a circumstance in which an event or discrete set of events has occurred or is planned with respect to the business of Kraft or the Eligible Recipients that results or will result in a change in the scope, nature or volume of the Services that the Eligible Recipients will require from Supplier, and which is expected to cause the estimated average monthly amount of chargeable Resource Unit usage in any Resource Baseline, or other applicable grouping as may be specified in the applicable Supplement, to increase or decrease by [ * * * ] or more [ * * * ] consecutive [ * * * ]. Examples of the kinds of events that might cause such substantial increases or decreases include the following:

11.6.1.1

changes in locations where the Eligible Recipients operate;

11.6.1.2

changes in products of, or in markets served by, the Eligible Recipients;

11.6.1.3

mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or reorganizations of the Eligible Recipients;

11.6.1.4

changes in the method of service delivery;

11.6.1.5

changes in the applicable regulatory environment;

11.6.1.6

changes in Kraft’s policy, technology or processes;

11.6.1.7

changes in market priorities; or

11.6.1.8

changes in the business units being serviced by Supplier.

11.6.2

Consequence. If an Extraordinary Event occurs, Kraft may, at its option, request more favorable pricing with respect to applicable Charges for any Service or Tower in accordance with the following:

11.6.2.1

[ * * * ] and [ * * * ] shall [ * * * ] determine on a reasonable basis the [ * * * ], if any, resulting from such Extraordinary Event and, upon [ * * * ], [ * * * ] shall then proceed to implement such [ * * * ] as quickly as practicable and in accordance with the agreed-upon schedule. As the [ * * * ] are realized, the Charges specified on the applicable Supplement and any affected [ * * * ] shall be promptly and equitably adjusted to pass through to [ * * * ] the full benefit of such [ * * * ]; provided, that [ * * * ] shall reimburse [ * * * ] for any net costs or expenses incurred to realize such [ * * * ] if and to the extent [ * * * ] (i) notifies [ * * * ] of such additional costs and obtains [ * * * ] approval prior to incurring such costs, (ii) uses commercially reasonable efforts to identify and consider practical alternatives, and reasonably determines that there is no other more practical or cost effective way to obtain [ * * * ] without incurring such expenses, and (iii) uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the additional costs to be [ * * * ]. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the foregoing, any changes in the [ * * * ] arising out of this Section 11.6 will be applied to the [ * * * ] on a [ * * * ] only from the date of the [ * * * ] of such [ * * * ].

11.6.2.2

An Extraordinary Event shall not result in [ * * * ] to [ * * * ] being [ * * * ] such Charges would have been if the RRCs, ARCs and other rates and charges then specified in the applicable Supplement had been applied. [ * * * ] may, at its sole option, elect, for each Extraordinary Event, at any time to forego its rights under this Section 11.6 and instead, apply RRCs, ARCs and other rates and charges specified in the applicable Supplement to adjust the Charges.

11.7

Unanticipated Change.

If an Unanticipated Change occurs, and if Kraft requests that the Services be modified to incorporate such Unanticipated Change after the completion of Transformation for those Services to be transformed, or after Transition for all other Services, the Parties shall use the procedures in Section 11.6.2 to equitably adjust the Charges and other relevant provisions of this Agreement to take such Unanticipated Change into Account. An “Unanticipated Change” shall consist of a material change in the technologies and/or business processes available to provide all or part of the Services which is outside the normal evolution of technology experienced by the information technology and other in-scope services, that was not generally available as of the Commencement Date, and that would materially reduce Supplier’s cost of providing the Services.

11.8

Proration.

Periodic charges under this Agreement are to be computed on a calendar month basis, and shall be prorated for any partial month on a calendar day basis.

11.9

Refundable Items.

11.9.1

Prepaid Amounts. Where Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients have prepaid for a service or function for which Supplier is assuming financial responsibility under this Agreement, Supplier shall promptly refund to Kraft or such Eligible Recipient, upon either Party identifying the prepayment, that portion of such prepaid expense that is attributable to periods on and after the Commencement Date; provided, however, that if Supplier had not received notice of the prepayment prior to the Effective Date, Supplier shall only be obligated to refund amounts to Kraft to the extent Supplier received an economic benefit from the prepayment (e.g., if Supplier can demonstrate that it had planned to use a replacement service at a lower cost, Supplier would only be obligated to refund such lower cost amount).

11.9.2

Refunds and Credits. If Supplier should receive a refund, credit, discount or other rebate for goods or services paid for by Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients on a Pass-Through Expense, Retained Expense, cost-plus or cost-reimbursement basis, then Supplier shall (i) notify Kraft of such refund, credit, discount or rebate and (ii) pay the full amount of such refund, credit, discount or rebate to Kraft or such Eligible Recipient.

11.9.3

Allocation of Balloon, Roll-Over and Similar Payments. With respect to contracts assigned to Kraft in connection with any Termination Assistance Services, where the costs under any such contracts entered into by Supplier, a Supplier Affiliate or Subcontractor are to be apportioned between the Parties, Supplier shall be responsible for the payment of any costs required to be paid by Kraft after the assignment of such contracts to Kraft, to the extent such costs are attributable to periods during the Term and the provision of any Termination Assistance Services. Additionally, if lease, license, maintenance, service charges or other periodic payments under any such contract increase after assignment to Kraft (other than to account for cost of living or similar increases) (e.g., balloon or similar payments), unless Kraft has expressly agreed to assume such increase, all such payments shall be recalculated so that, as between the Parties, the entire cost shall be amortized evenly over the entire term of such contract. In the case of licenses, such allocation of costs shall not apply to the initial one-time license fees paid or payable by Supplier. Supplier shall be responsible for those back-end and recalculated costs that are attributable to periods during the Term and the provision of any Termination Assistance Services, and, upon assignment to Kraft, Kraft shall be responsible for all other payments. Supplier shall provide a credit to Kraft for any such back-end costs and recalculated costs against any amounts then due and owing by Kraft or, if there are no amounts then owed by Kraft, pay such back-end or recalculated amounts to Kraft within 30 days after the assignment of the applicable contract to Kraft.

11.10

Kraft Benchmarking Reviews.

11.10.1

Benchmarking Review. Commencing eighteen (18) months after the applicable Supplement Commencement Date (or in the case of the first Supplement, if later, following Supplier’s execution of a separate agreement, pursuant to Section 11.1.6.3, with the second of the two Kraft entities resulting from the Spin-Off), and with 30 days’ advance written notice to Supplier, and no more frequently than once every 12 months thereafter for each scope of Services that is benchmarked, Kraft may, subject to this Section 11.10, request that a benchmarking study be performed by an independent third party with the characteristics noted in Section 11.10.2 (a “Benchmarker”) to compare the quality and price of all or any portion of the Services representing at least one Tower against the quality and price of other well-managed outsourcing suppliers (not including companies who self-perform services) performing similar services to ensure that Kraft is receiving from Supplier pricing and levels of service that are competitive with market rates, prices and service levels, given the nature, volume and type of Services provided by Supplier hereunder (“Benchmarking”). The Benchmarker may be hired and Kraft may provide the Benchmarker with instructions and information prior to the required waiting period set forth in the preceding sentence, but the actual benchmarking study may not commence earlier than the end of such waiting period. In addition, Kraft shall not require Benchmarking more than 3 times in any Contract Year. In making this comparison, the Benchmarker shall consider such factors as the Benchmarker typically considers in its benchmarking methodology, including the following factors, and adjust the prices as and to the extent appropriate: (i) any financial engineering, such

as whether supplier transition charges are paid by the customer as incurred or amortized over the term of this Agreement; (ii) the extent to which supplier pricing includes the purchase of the customer’s existing assets; (iii) the extent to which supplier pricing includes the cost of acquiring future assets; (iv) the extent to which this Agreement calls for Supplier to provide and comply with unique Kraft requirements; (v) whether Service Taxes are included in such pricing or stated separately in supplier invoices; (vi) nature, size, scope and term of the contract, and (vii) service locations.

11.10.2

General. Any Benchmarker engaged to perform the benchmarking study shall execute a non-disclosure agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3, and must be an independent, established and industry recognized third party with demonstrated benchmarking expertise, methodology and data sources, must not be a provider of the Services, Direct Kraft Competitor or a Direct Supplier Competitor or affiliated or associated with either Party in such a manner that an objective person would regard the Benchmarker as likely to have a material conflict of interest, such as because of its status as a consultant or auditor of either Party, and therefore be unable to conduct the benchmark study objectively and independently. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier hereby irrevocably consents to Kraft’s use of any Benchmarker listed in Schedule 25 at any time during the Term. The Benchmarker shall be engaged on terms consistent with this Section 11.10 and otherwise acceptable to Kraft, provided that Supplier shall have an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed agreement, and may at its option elect to be a party to such agreement and share equally with Kraft in the amounts payable to such Benchmarker. Supplier and Kraft shall cooperate fully with the Benchmarker and shall provide reasonable access to any premises, equipment, personnel or documents and provide any assistance required by the Benchmarker to conduct the Benchmarking, all at Kraft's and Supplier’s respective cost and expense. The Benchmarking shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably disrupt Supplier’s operations under this Agreement.

11.10.3

Result of Benchmarking. If the Benchmarker finds that the Charges paid by Kraft for all Services or for any service element are greater than [ * * * ] of the prices charged by other well-managed suppliers for work of a similar nature, type or volume (the “Benchmark Standard”), the Charges shall be [ * * * ]; provided that Supplier shall not be obligated to implement Benchmarking [ * * * ] to the extent such [ * * * ] would result in Supplier’s total Charges [ * * * ] as compared to its pricing absent such [ * * * ]. Such [ * * * ] shall become effective immediately upon receipt of the Benchmarker’s report, though [ * * * ] reserves [ * * * ] the Benchmarker’s report pursuant to the dispute resolution proceedings described in Section 11.10.4. Any reversal of the Benchmarking findings will be effective prospectively only from the date the dispute is resolved.

11.10.4

Supplier Review and Dispute. Kraft shall provide Supplier with a copy of the Benchmarker’s report and Supplier shall have 10 days to review such report and contest the Benchmarker’s findings. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the validity of such findings, the matter shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 19. [ * * * ] in Supplier’s Charges shall be implemented effective as of the date the Benchmarker’s final report was [ * * * ] to [ * * * ].

12.

INVOICING AND PAYMENT

12.1

Invoicing.

12.1.1

Invoice. Within fifteen days after the beginning of each month, Supplier will present Kraft with an invoice for any Charges due and owing for the preceding month (the “Monthly Invoice”), including Monthly Base Charges, Charges for Transition Services and Transformation Services, and ARCs and RRCs. The invoice shall be delivered in hard copy and/or electronically to such billing address(es) as Kraft may direct. Supplier shall not invoice Kraft for any advance or concurrent charges or other amounts.

12.1.2

Form and Data. At Kraft’s request, Supplier shall provide separate Monthly Invoices for each country to which Supplier is then providing Services. With respect to the Resource Units in the Application Servers Tower that reside in Supplier Facilities or, if prior to the completion of Transition and Transformation, in the Kraft Facilities, Kraft may allocate the Charges for those Resource Units to Eligible Recipients in the countries that are receiving the benefit of the Services reflected by those Resource Units based on an allocation formula Kraft provides to Supplier. Supplier will calculate the Charges based on the location of the Resource Units and internally allocate those Charges from that location to the Eligible Recipients in a country or countries designated by Kraft and invoice Eligible Recipient in country for those Charges. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, invoicing for Kraft’s existing in-scope entities shall be done in accordance with the applicable Supplement. If Kraft adds business that consumes Services in a country and Supplier is not then issuing invoices to an Eligible Recipient in that country, Kraft can require Supplier to begin issuing invoices to that country. Supplier shall issue such invoice either from a Supplier Affiliate located in the same country, or, if Supplier does not have an Affiliate in that country, from another country as mutually agreed by Kraft and Supplier. Each invoice shall be in the form specified in Exhibit 4 and shall (i) comply with all applicable legal, regulatory and accounting requirements; and (ii) allow Kraft to validate volumes and fees. Each invoice shall include the pricing calculations and related data utilized to establish the Charges and sufficient information to validate the service volumes and associated Charges. The data underlying each invoice shall be delivered to Kraft electronically (if requested by Kraft) in a form and format compatible with Kraft’s accounting systems. In addition, Supplier shall provide Kraft with a database of current and detailed information regarding its Charges, with the information in a format approved by Kraft, that can be used by Kraft to produce chargebacks by Kraft business unit.

12.1.3

Credits. To the extent a credit may be due to Kraft pursuant to this Agreement, Supplier shall provide Kraft with an appropriate credit against amounts then due and owing; if no further payments are due to Supplier, Supplier shall pay such amounts to Kraft within 15 days.

12.1.4

[ * * * ]. If [ * * * ] fails to provide an [ * * * ] to [ * * * ] for (i) the [ * * * ] within [ * * * ] after the [ * * * ] for which those [ * * * ], (ii) any other [ * * * ] (excluding any [ * * * ] and [ * * * ]) within [ * * * ] after the [ * * * ] in which the Services subject to [ * * * ] are rendered (or a total of [ * * * ] so long as [ * * * ] has notified [ * * * ] within such [ * * * ] of the delay and the estimated amount of the [ * * * ]), or (iii) [ * * * ] or [ * * * ] within [ * * * ] after the [ * * * ] in which the applicable [ * * * ] or [ * * * ] of the [ * * * ] is received by [ * * * ], then [ * * * ] shall waive any right it may otherwise have to [ * * * ] for and [ * * * ] such amount (and, with respect to [ * * * ] and [ * * * ], [ * * * ] shall be required to [ * * * ] such [ * * * ] and [ * * * ] and any associated [ * * * ] or [ * * * ] without [ * * * ]). [ * * * ] shall notify [ * * * ] of any delays of any [ * * * ] extending more than [ * * * ] of which [ * * * ] is aware.

12.2

Payment Due.

Subject to the other provisions of this Article 12 and except as otherwise provided in the applicable Supplement for the countries specified therein, each Monthly Invoice provided for under Section 12.1 shall be due and payable by Kraft by wire transfer in immediately available funds within [ * * * ] days after receipt by Kraft of such Monthly Invoice unless the amount in question is disputed in accordance with Section 12.4. Any amount due under this Agreement for which a time for payment is not otherwise specified also shall be due and payable within [ * * * ] days, subject to Kraft’s right to withhold pursuant to Section 12.4. Any undisputed amounts not paid when due will thereafter bear interest until paid at the Interest Rate.

12.3

Set Off.

With respect to any amount to be paid or reimbursed by Kraft hereunder, Kraft may set off against such amount any amount that Supplier is obligated to pay or credit Kraft hereunder; provided that (i) Kraft will first set off amounts due with respect to any Services in any country against invoices for the same country; (ii) Kraft will notify Supplier if the invoice for the same country is insufficient to set off the full amount due and permit Supplier or the applicable Supplier Affiliate to pay remaining amount due, and (iii) Kraft will be responsible for currency risk for amounts Kraft elects to set off against another country’s invoice to the extent such other country uses a different currency.

12.4

Disputed Charges.

Kraft may withhold payment of particular Charges that Kraft reasonably disputes in good faith subject to the following:

12.4.1

Notice of Dispute. If Supplier’s invoice includes sufficient detail and supporting documentation to enable Kraft to reasonably determine whether Supplier’s Charges are in accordance with this Agreement, Kraft shall notify Supplier on or before the payment due date of such invoice if it disputes any of the Charges in such invoice.

12.4.2

Notice of Insufficient Detail, Documentation and Dispute. If Supplier’s invoice does not include sufficient detail and supporting documentation to enable Kraft to reasonably determine whether Supplier’s Charges are in accordance with this Agreement, Kraft shall so notify Supplier on or before the payment due date. Supplier shall promptly provide such reasonable detail and supporting documentation, and Kraft shall notify Supplier within 10 business days after receipt thereof by the Kraft Contract Manager whether it disputes any of the Charges in Supplier’s invoice.

12.4.3

Description and Explanation. If Kraft disputes any Supplier Charges, Kraft shall so notify Supplier promptly after becoming aware of the issue and provide a description of the particular Charges in dispute and an explanation of the reason why Kraft disputes such Charges.

12.4.4

Continued Performance. Subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 12.4.6, each Party agrees to continue performing its obligations under this Agreement while any dispute is being resolved unless and until such obligations are terminated by the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

12.4.5

No Waiver. Neither the failure to dispute any Charges or amounts prior to payment nor the failure to withhold any amount shall constitute, operate or be construed as a waiver of any right Kraft may otherwise have to dispute any Charge or amount or recover any amount previously paid.

12.4.6

Amount of Withholding. In no event may Kraft withhold from any monthly invoice an amount in excess of [ * * * ] of the aggregate amount of the monthly invoices, provided that Kraft will be responsible for currency to the extent the amount withheld from a country invoice pertains to Services billed under an invoice for another country. If at any time Kraft is withholding disputed amounts that, in the aggregate, exceed [ * * * ], then Kraft shall place the full amount of the withheld amounts into an interest bearing escrow account with a nationally recognized financial institution. The Parties agree to work in good faith and expeditiously to resolve all Charges disputes. Interest earned in the account will be distributed to the Parties in the proportion to the amounts they receive from the account.

13.

KRAFT DATA AND OTHER PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

13.1

Kraft Ownership of Kraft Data.

Kraft Data is and shall remain the property of Kraft (and/or the applicable Eligible Recipients). Supplier shall promptly deliver Kraft Data (or the portion of such Kraft Data specified by Kraft) to Kraft in the format and on the media prescribed by Kraft (i) at any time at Kraft’s request, (ii) at the end of the Term and the completion of all requested Termination Assistance Services (except Contract Records, which shall be retained by Supplier for the Audit Period specified in Section 9.10.1 unless and to the extent Supplier is directed by Kraft to deliver such Contract Records to Kraft prior to the expiration of such audit period), or (iii) with respect to particular Kraft Data, at such earlier date that such data are no longer required by Supplier to perform the Services. Thereafter, Supplier shall return or destroy, as directed by Kraft, all copies of the Kraft Data in Supplier’s possession or under Supplier’s control as soon as possible, but in any event within 10 business days and deliver to Kraft written certification of such return or destruction signed by an authorized representative of Supplier. Supplier shall not withhold any Kraft Data as a means of resolving any dispute. Kraft Data shall not be utilized by Supplier for any purpose other than the performance of Services under this Agreement and for use by Supplier in formal dispute resolution proceedings that may arise between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement. Supplier shall at all times comply with Kraft’s privacy policy, as modified by Kraft from time to time. Kraft Data shall not be sold, assigned, leased, encumbered or commercially exploited or otherwise provided to third parties by or on behalf of Supplier or any Supplier Personnel. Supplier shall promptly notify Kraft if it believes that any use of Kraft Data by Supplier contemplated under this Agreement or to be undertaken as part of the Services is inconsistent with the foregoing.

13.2

Safeguarding Kraft Data.

13.2.1

Safeguarding Procedures. Supplier shall establish and maintain environmental, safety and facility procedures, data security procedures and other safeguards against the destruction, loss, unauthorized access or alteration of Kraft Data in the possession of Supplier which are (i) no less rigorous than those maintained by Kraft as of the Effective Date and made available to Supplier at its request (or implemented by Kraft in the future to the extent deemed necessary by Kraft), including the security and control requirements described in Schedule 17.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement; and (ii) no less rigorous than those maintained by Supplier for its own information of a similar nature where the Kraft Data is being maintained at a Supplier Facility, and, after completion of Transformation or Transition, as applicable, for Kraft Data maintained by Supplier

at a Kraft Site, subject to Kraft’s responsibility for maintaining physical security at such Kraft Site; (iii) no less rigorous than accepted security standards in the industry (such as ISO 17799), and (iv) adequate to permit Supplier to meet its obligations under Section 13.3. Within 90 days following the Effective Date, Supplier shall evaluate the then-current Kraft security policy and shall prepare and submit for Kraft review and approval recommendations with respect to changes or modifications to such policy. Supplier shall maintain and enforce the then-current Kraft security policy until any changes or modifications are approved by Kraft in writing for implementation. The Parties acknowledge and agree that modifications or additions to the Kraft security or other policies or the information security requested by Kraft after the Effective Date may result in Supplier performing New Services to comply with such modifications or additions if such services meet the definition of New Services. Kraft shall have the right to establish backup security for Kraft Data and to keep backup copies of the Kraft Data in Kraft’s possession at Kraft’s expense if Kraft so chooses. Supplier shall provide Kraft with downloads of Kraft Data, as requested by Kraft, to enable Kraft to maintain such backup security or backup copies of Kraft Data. Supplier shall remove all Kraft Data from any media taken out of service and shall destroy or securely erase such media in accordance with the Policy and Procedures Manual. No media on which Kraft Data is stored may be used or re-used to store data of any other customer of Supplier or to deliver data to a third party, including another Supplier customer, unless securely erased in accordance with the Policy and Procedures Manual. In the event Supplier discovers or is notified of a breach or potential breach of security relating to Kraft Data in the possession or control of Supplier or its Affiliates or Subcontractors or System that Supplier is supporting, Supplier shall (i) expeditiously notify Kraft of such breach or potential breach, (ii) investigate such breach or potential breach and perform a Root Cause Analysis thereon, (iii) remediate the effects of such breach or potential breach of security to the extent possible, (iv) provide Kraft with such assurances as Kraft shall request that such breach or potential breach will not recur and (v) provide periodic updates during the investigation to Kraft and provide Kraft the Root Cause Analysis reports. If the Root Cause Analysis indicates that Supplier was not responsible for the cause of the breach or potential breach and Supplier is unable to perform remediation efforts without adding substantial additional Supplier resources or third party contractors (beyond the Subcontractor personnel then assigned to perform Services for Kraft), Kraft may elect to either (i) reprioritize the Services, in which event Supplier will perform the remediation at no additional charge, or (ii) authorize Supplier to perform the remediation as a Project.

13.2.2

Reconstruction Procedures. As part of the Services, Supplier shall be responsible for developing and maintaining procedures for the reconstruction of lost Kraft Data which are (i) no less rigorous than those maintained by Kraft as of the Effective Date (or implemented by Kraft in the future to the extent deemed necessary by Kraft), and (ii) no less rigorous than those maintained by Supplier for its own information of a similar nature.

13.2.3

Corrections. Supplier shall restore all destroyed, lost or altered Kraft Data using generally accepted data restoration techniques consistent with the requirements of the applicable Supplement, where applicable. In addition, if Supplier or its Affiliates or Subcontractors has caused the destruction, loss or alteration of any Kraft Data, Supplier shall be responsible for the cost of restoring such data. If Supplier or its Affiliates or Subcontractors have not caused the destruction, loss or alteration of any Kraft Data, and Supplier is unable to perform the restoration efforts without either adding substantial additional Supplier resources or third party contractors (beyond the Subcontractor personnel then assigned to perform Services for Kraft), Supplier will so notify Kraft. Kraft may elect to either (i) reprioritize the Services, in which event Supplier will perform the restoration at no additional charge, or (ii) authorize Supplier to perform the

restoration as a Project. Supplier shall at all times adhere to the procedures and safeguards specified in Section 13.2.1 and 13.2.2 and shall correct (including any required back-up or restoration of data from scheduled backups, or if not available on such backups, restoration by other means with Kraft’s reasonable cooperation), at no charge to Kraft, any destruction, loss or alteration of any Kraft Data attributable to the failure of Supplier or Supplier Personnel to comply with Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement.

13.2.4

Advice on Better Procedures. Without disclosure of confidential information about other customers, Supplier shall regularly advise Kraft of data security practices, procedures and safeguards in effect for other Supplier customers, where such practices, procedures and safeguards are of a higher standard than those contemplated under this Agreement.

13.3

Kraft and Supplier Personal Data.

The Parties shall be bound by and comply the requirements of Schedule 27 (Global Personal Data Protection Principles) to the extent applicable as specified in that Schedule.

13.4

Confidentiality.

13.4.1

During the term of this Agreement and at all times thereafter as specified in Section 13.4.6, Supplier and Kraft shall not disclose to any third party, except as allowable herein, and shall maintain the confidentiality of, all Proprietary Information of the other Party (and in the case of Supplier, the Eligible Recipients).

Supplier Personnel shall not have access to Kraft’s Proprietary Information without proper authorization from the Kraft Contract Manager or a designee thereof. Upon receiving such authorization, authorized Supplier Personnel shall have access to Kraft’s Proprietary Information only to the extent necessary for such person to perform his or her obligations under or with respect to this Agreement or as otherwise naturally occurs in such person’s scope of responsibility, provided that such access is not in violation of Law.

13.4.2.2

The Parties may disclose Proprietary Information of the other Party to their Affiliates, auditors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, contractors and subcontractors, where (A) such disclosure is necessary for the performance of such person’s or entity’s obligations under or with respect to this Agreement or otherwise naturally occurs in such person’s or entity’s scope of responsibility, (B) the entity or individual agrees in writing to assume the obligations described in this Section 13.4, and (C) the disclosing Party assumes full responsibility for the acts or omissions of such person or entity and takes all reasonable measures to ensure that the Proprietary Information of the other Party is not disclosed or used in contravention of this Agreement. Any disclosure to such person or entity shall be under the terms and conditions as provided herein. Each Party’s Proprietary Information shall remain the property of such Party. The Parties may, to the extent required and subject to appropriate confidentiality notices, provide Proprietary Information to tax authorities, pertinent to tax filings, claims, and assessments without approval by the other Party, but subject to notice to the other party except where prohibited by applicable Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may disclose Proprietary Information relating to the financial or operational terms of this Agreement and/or Supplier’s performance hereunder (e.g., applicable Service Levels and measurements of Supplier’s performance with respect to such Service Levels) in connection with a benchmarking under Section 11.10. Kraft may disclose Proprietary Information relating to its operations, the Services, the Service Levels, and its costs for the Services (but not the Resource Unit Charges or Supplier's actual performance against its Service Level obligations hereunder), in connection with the solicitation of proposals for or the procurement of the same or similar services from Kraft Third Party Contractors.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that Proprietary Information of the other Party that is not generally available to the public shall not be deemed public or subject to this exclusion merely because it is combined with information that is generally available to the public. In addition, the receiving Party shall not be considered to have breached its obligations under this Section 13.4 for disclosing Proprietary Information of the other Party as required, in the opinion of legal counsel, to satisfy any legal requirement of a competent government body, provided that, promptly upon receiving any such request, such Party, to the extent it may legally do so, advises the other Party of the other Party’s Proprietary Information to be disclosed and the identity of the third party requiring such disclosure prior to making such disclosure in order that the other Party may interpose an objection to such disclosure, take action to assure confidential handling of its Proprietary Information, or take such other action as it deems appropriate to protect the Proprietary Information. Further, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

100

Agreement, each Party may disclose, without prior notice to, or approval or consent by, the other Party, to taxing authorities and to such Party’s representatives, attorneys and advisers, any Proprietary Information that is required to be disclosed in connection with such Party’s tax filings, reports, claims, audits or litigation, provided the disclosing Party takes such action as is reasonable to assure confidential handling of the other Party’s Proprietary Information.

Each Party shall bear any costs it incurs in complying with this Section 13.4.4.

13.4.5

No Implied Rights. Nothing contained in this Section 13.4 shall be construed as obligating a Party to disclose its Proprietary Information to the other Party, or as granting to or conferring on a Party, expressly or impliedly, any rights or license to any Proprietary Information of the other Party.

13.4.6

Survival. Supplier’s obligations with respect to Kraft Personal Data and Kraft’s human resources and personnel information and Kraft’s obligations with respect to Supplier’s human resources and personnel information shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and shall be perpetual.

Prior to responding to such legal information request, Supplier shall meet and confer with Kraft and shall cooperate with Kraft in preserving Kraft’s legal rights, including but not limited to objections, reservations, limitations and privileges, relating to such legal information request. If legally permissible, Kraft at its sole discretion may demand tender of the request by Supplier and assume primary responsibility for responding, in which case (i) Supplier shall cooperate fully with Kraft in preparing the response and (ii) Kraft shall inform Supplier of all proceedings related to the response and protect Supplier’s interests and legal rights. If Supplier is barred legally from notifying Kraft of the legal information request, Supplier shall take commercially reasonable steps to protect Kraft’s legal rights in connection with any response.

13.6.5

Cost of Compliance. The Parties acknowledge that compliance with this Section 13.6 [ * * * ], constitute New Services for which Supplier is entitled to additional compensation.

Procedure for Defense.

In addition, the refusal of Supplier Personnel to enter a facility that is the subject of a labor dispute shall excuse Supplier from its obligations hereunder only if and to the extent such refusal is based upon a reasonable fear of physical harm.

18.2.2

Duration and Notification. In the event of a force majeure event the non-performing Party shall be excused from further performance or observance of the obligation(s) so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such Party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay. Any Party so prevented, hindered or delayed in its performance shall, as quickly as practicable under the circumstances, notify the Party to whom performance is due by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within one day of the inception of such delay) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances of the force majeure event, the steps being taken to address such force majeure event, and the expected duration of such force majeure event.

130

18.2.3

Substitute Services; Termination. If any event described in Section 18.2.1 has substantially prevented, hindered or delayed or is reasonably expected to substantially prevent, hinder or delay the performance by Supplier or one of its Subcontractors of Services necessary for the performance of critical Kraft or Eligible Recipient functions for longer than the recovery period specified in the applicable disaster recovery plan or, if there is no such recovery period, [ * * * ], Kraft may procure such Services from an alternate source, and Supplier shall be solely liable for payment for such services from the alternate source for so long as the delay in performance shall continue, provided that Kraft continues to pay Supplier the Charges for such Services with respect to the period of non-performance, and Kraft has not terminated the affected portion of the Services. Kraft may at its option elect to pay the alternate source directly in lieu of paying Supplier for the affected services. In addition, if any event described in Section 18.2.1 substantially prevents, hinders or delays the performance by Supplier or one of its Subcontractors of Services necessary for the performance of critical Kraft functions (i) for more than [ * * * ] days, and Supplier has not obtained such Services from another source on a temporary basis, Kraft, at its option, may terminate any portion of this Agreement so affected and the charges payable hereunder shall be equitably adjusted to reflect those terminated Services; or (ii) for more than [ * * * ] days, and Supplier has not obtained the Services from another source on a temporary basis, Kraft, at its option, may terminate this Agreement in its entirety. If the termination described in the preceding sentence results from [ * * * ] that impacts a Supplier Facility or that otherwise [ * * * ] from being able to [ * * * ], [ * * * ] shall not be obligated to pay any [ * * * ] in connection with [ * * * ]. [ * * * ] shall be obligated to pay the [ * * * ] in the event the [ * * * ] results from a [ * * * ] on a [ * * * ] or a [ * * * ]. Except as described above, [ * * * ] shall not have the right to additional [ * * * ] or increased [ * * * ] as a result of any [ * * * ] affecting [ * * * ] ability to [ * * * ].

18.2.4

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans. Within 90 days after the Effective Date or by the Commencement Date, whichever occurs first, Supplier shall document its disaster-recovery plan for the Services and ensure that it is consistent with and will operate in conjunction with the standards and plans referred to in the applicable Supplement. Supplier shall execute its disaster-recovery plan upon the occurrence of a disaster and cooperate with Kraft in the execution of Kraft’s and/or the Eligible Recipients’ business-continuity and disaster-recovery plans.

18.2.5

Payment Obligation. If Supplier fails to provide Services in accordance with this Agreement due to the occurrence of a force majeure event, all amounts payable to Supplier hereunder shall be equitably adjusted in a manner such that Kraft is not required to pay any amounts for Services that it is not receiving from Supplier, unless such Services are obtained from an alternate source at Supplier’s expense pursuant to Section 18.2.3.

18.2.6

Allocation of Resources. Without limiting Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement, whenever a force majeure event or disaster causes Supplier to allocate limited resources between or among Supplier’s customers and Affiliates, Kraft and the Eligible Recipients shall receive at least the same treatment as comparable Supplier customers. In no event will Supplier re-deploy or re-assign any Key Supplier Personnel to another customer or account in the event of the occurrence of a force majeure event.

18.3

Limitation of Liability.

18.3.1

Exclusions from Liability.

131

Disclaimer of Consequential Damages. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 18.3, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, COLLATERAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION OR THE THEORY OF RECOVERY, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Liability Caps.

[ * * * ] Liability Cap. Additionally, except as provided below in Section 18.3.3, the total aggregate liability of either Party for claims (other than claims that are referenced in Section 18.3.2.2) asserted by the other Party under or in connection with this Agreement (including claims arising from parties to a Companion Agreement), regardless of the form of the action or the theory of recovery, shall be limited to (i) [ * * * ] for claims for which the last act or omission giving rise to such liability occurs before the date that is [ * * * ] months after the GroceryCo Start Date, or (ii) the total Charges payable to Supplier (including amounts payable to a Supplier Affiliate under a Companion Agreement) during the [ * * * ] period preceding the last act or omission giving rise to such liability for claims for which the last act or omission giving rise to such liability occurs more than [ * * * ] after the GroceryCo Start Date.

18.3.3.6

The exclusions set forth in Section 18.3.1 and the liability caps set forth in Section 18.3.2 shall not apply with respect to amounts paid for [ * * * ] by [ * * * ], provided that [ * * * ] may exercise its express termination rights under this Agreement in good faith (in which case the exclusions in Section 18.3.1 and the liability caps in 18.3.2 will apply) subject to [ * * * ] continued obligation to provide [ * * * ] as set forth in this Agreement.

The exclusions set forth in Section 18.3.1 and the liability caps set forth in Section 18.3.2 shall not apply with respect to amounts paid under [ * * * ] with respect to [ * * * ] of an [ * * * ] or [ * * * ] of [ * * * ].

18.3.4

Items Not Considered Damages. The following shall not be considered damages subject to, and shall not be counted toward the liability exclusions or caps specified in, Section 18.3.1 or 18.3.2:

18.3.4.1

[ * * * ] assessed against [ * * * ] pursuant to [ * * * ], recognizing that the [ * * * ] will reduce the amount paid by [ * * * ] and thereby have the effect of reducing [ * * * ] limitation of liability where such liability is calculated based on the fees paid by [ * * * ] during the applicable period.

Amounts withheld by [ * * * ] in accordance with this Agreement due either to [ * * * ] or [ * * * ].

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

19.1

Informal Dispute Resolution.

Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures with respect to any dispute, other than as provided in Section 19.4 or Section 20.8, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve such dispute informally, as follows:

19.1.1

Initial Effort. The Parties agree that the Kraft Contract Manager and the Supplier Account Executive shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. In the event the Kraft Contract Manager and the Supplier Account Executive are unable to resolve a dispute in an amount of time that either Party deems reasonable under the circumstances, such Party may refer the dispute for resolution to the senior corporate executives specified in Section 19.1.2 below upon written notice to the other Party.

19.1.2

Escalation. Within five business days of a notice under Section 19.1.1 above referring a dispute for resolution by senior corporate executives, the Kraft Contract Manager and the Supplier Account Executive will each prepare and provide to a Supplier Vice President and General Manager, United States and the Kraft Chief Financial Officer, respectively, summaries of the non-privileged relevant information and background of the dispute, along with any appropriate non-privileged supporting documentation, for their review. The designated senior corporate executives will confer as often as they deem reasonably necessary in order to gather and furnish to the other all non-privileged information with respect to the matter in issue which the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. The designated senior corporate executives shall discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding. The specific format for the discussions will be left to the discretion of the designated senior corporate executives, but may include the preparation of agreed-upon statements of fact or written statements of position.

19.1.3

Provision of Information. During the course of negotiations under Section 19.1.1 or Section 19.1.2 above, all reasonable requests made by one Party to another for non-privileged information, reasonably related to the dispute, will be honored in order that each of the parties may be fully advised of the other’s position. All negotiation shall be strictly confidential and used solely for the purposes of settlement. Any materials prepared by one Party for these proceedings shall not be used as evidence by the other Party in any subsequent arbitration or litigation; provided, however, the underlying facts supporting such materials may be subject to discovery.

19.1.4

Prerequisite to Arbitration. Arbitration of a dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of:

19.1.4.1

the designated senior corporate executives under Section 19.1.2 above concluding in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear likely; or

19.1.4.2

30 days after the notice under Section 19.1.1 above referring the dispute to senior corporate executives.

135

19.2

Non-Binding Mediation.

19.2.1

Requirement to Attempt Non-Binding Mediation. Except for disputes described in Section 19.4 or Section 20.8 or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 20, any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any breach thereof, which cannot be resolved using the procedures set forth in Section 19.1 shall be first attempted to be resolved through non-binding mediation under the mediation rules of the Center for Public Resources.

19.2.2

Location and Decision. The mediation shall take place in Chicago, Illinois, and shall apply the governing law of this Agreement. The recommendations of the mediators shall be non-binding. The mediators shall be instructed to state the reasons for their recommendations. The mediators shall be bound by the warranties, limitations of liability and other provisions of this Agreement.

19.2.3

Selection and Qualification of Mediators. Within 10 days after delivery of written notice (“Notice of Mediation”) by one Party to the other in accordance with this Section, the Parties each shall use good faith efforts to mutually agree upon one mediator. If the Parties are not able to agree upon one mediator within such period of time, the Parties each shall within 10 days: (i) appoint one mediator who has at no time ever represented or acted on behalf of either of the Parties, and is not otherwise affiliated with or interested in either of the Parties and (ii) deliver written notice of the identity of such mediator and a copy of his or her written acceptance of such appointment to the other Party. If either Party fails or refuses to appoint a mediator within such 10-day period, the single mediator appointed by the other Party shall decide alone the issues set out in the Notice of Mediation. Within 10 days after such appointment and notice, such mediators shall appoint a third neutral and independent arbitrator who at no time ever represented or acted on behalf of either of the Parties, and is not otherwise affiliated with or interested in either of the Parties. In the event that the two mediators fail to appoint a third mediator within 10 days of the appointment of the second mediator, either mediator or either Party may apply for the appointment of a third mediator to the Center for Public Resources.

19.2.4

General. All mediators shall be practicing attorneys with at least five years’ experience with the business processes, technology and law applicable to the Services or similar services or transactions. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conclude the mediation within 60 days after selection of the mediator or mediators. The recommendations of the mediator or the majority of the three mediators, as applicable, shall be rendered within 15 days after the conclusion of the hearing, shall be in writing, shall set forth the basis therefore. Each Party shall bear its own mediation costs and expenses and all other costs and expenses of the mediation shall be divided equally between the Parties.

19.3

Arbitration.

19.3.1

Arbitration. Except for disputes described in Section 19.4, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any breach thereof, which cannot be resolved using the procedures set forth above in Section 19.1 or 19.2 shall be finally resolved under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect; provided, however, that without limiting any rights at law or in equity a Party may have because of an improper termination of this Agreement by the other Party, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit either Party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article 20.

136

19.3.2

Location and Decision. Any arbitration under this Agreement shall take place in Chicago, Illinois, and shall apply the governing law of this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators shall be instructed to state the reasons for their decisions, including findings of fact and law. The arbitrators shall be bound by the warranties, limitations of liability and other provisions of this Agreement. Except with respect to the provisions of this Agreement which provide for injunctive relief rights, such arbitration shall be a precondition to any application by either Party to any court of competent jurisdiction.

19.3.3

Selection and Qualification of Arbitrators. Within 30 days, or such reasonable period mutually agreed upon by the Parties, after delivery of written notice (“Notice of Arbitration”) by one Party to the other in accordance with this Section, the Parties each shall use good faith efforts to mutually agree upon one arbitrator. If the Parties are not able to agree upon one arbitrator within such period of time, the Parties each shall within 30 days: (i) appoint one arbitrator who has at no time ever represented or acted on behalf of either of the Parties, and is not otherwise affiliated with or interested in either of the Parties and (ii) deliver written notice of the identity of such arbitrator and a copy of his or her written acceptance of such appointment to the other Party. If either Party fails or refuses to appoint an arbitrator within such 30-day period, the single arbitrator appointed by the other Party shall decide alone the issues set out in the Notice of Arbitration. Within 30 days after such appointment and notice, such arbitrators shall appoint a third neutral and independent arbitrator who at no time ever represented or acted on behalf of either of the Parties, and is not otherwise affiliated with or interested in either of the Parties. In the event that the two arbitrators fail to appoint a third arbitrator within 30 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, either arbitrator or either Party may apply for the appointment of a third arbitrator to the American Arbitration Association.

19.3.4

Scope of Discovery. Subject to the last two sentences of this Section 19.3.4, discovery will be limited to the request for and production of documents, depositions and interrogatories. Interrogatories will be allowed only as follows: a Party may request the other Party to identify by name, last known address and telephone number (i) all persons having knowledge of facts relevant to the dispute and a brief description of that person's knowledge, (ii) any experts who may be called as an expert witness, the subject matter about which the expert is expected to testify, the mental impressions and opinions held by the expert and the facts known by the expert (regardless of when the factual information was acquired) that relate to or form the basis for the mental impressions and opinions held by the expert, and (iii) any experts who have been used for consultation, but who are not expected to be called as an expert witness, if such consulting expert's opinions or impressions have been reviewed by an expert witness. All discovery will be governed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. All issues concerning discovery upon which the Parties cannot agree will be submitted to the arbitrator for determination. Nothing in this Section 19.3.4 shall preclude either party from seeking limited third party discovery under applicable AAA Rules or the laws of the State of Illinois in the discretion of the arbitrator. In addition, should a Party be able to prove that it will be unfairly prejudiced without additional discovery on a certain issue, the arbitrator in its discretion can permit additional limited discovery for the purpose of improving the efficiency of the arbitration proceeding.

19.3.5

General. All arbitrators shall be attorneys with experience with the technology and/or law applicable to the Services or similar services or transactions. Any such appointment shall be binding upon the Parties. The arbitrator will not have authority to award damages in excess of the amount or other than the types allowed by Section 18.3 and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The decision or award of the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be final, binding and nonappealable, and

137

may be enforced and executed upon in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against whom the enforcement of such decision or award is sought. Upon the request of a Party, the arbitrator's award will include written findings of fact and conclusions of law. Each Party shall bear its own arbitration costs, attorneys' fees and expenses.

19.4

Equitable Remedies.

19.4.1

Eligible Disputes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 19.1, Section 19.2, and Section 19.3, either Party may institute formal proceedings to obtain injunctive relief in order to:

19.4.1.1

avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period,

19.4.1.2

preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors,

19.4.1.3

address a claim arising out of the breach of a Party’s obligations under Article 13,

19.4.1.4

address a claim arising out of the breach or attempted or threatened breach of the obligations described in Section 19.4.2, or

19.4.1.5

prevent other damages that are so immediate, so large or severe, and so incapable of adequate redress after the fact that a temporary restraining order or other immediate injunctive relief is the only adequate remedy.

19.4.2

Irreparable Harm. [ * * * ] acknowledges that, in the event it breaches (or attempts or threatens to breach) its obligation to [ * * * ] in accordance with this Agreement, its obligation respecting [ * * * ] in accordance with [ * * * ], or its obligation to provide [ * * * ] in accordance with [ * * * ], [ * * * ] and/or [ * * * ] will be irreparably harmed. [ * * * ] acknowledgement is based on its reliance on [ * * * ] representation that it would only utilize the provisions of this Section 19.4.2 when it has a good faith belief that it needs to obtain injunctive relief as quickly as possible to avoid an adverse impact on the ability of [ * * * ] to conduct any segment of its business which would be prevented or unreasonably disrupted in the event [ * * * ] denies, withdraws or restricts its [ * * * ] to [ * * * ] or withholds [ * * * ] access to [ * * * ]. In such a circumstance, [ * * * ] may proceed directly to court. If a court of competent jurisdiction should find that [ * * * ] has breached (or attempted or threatened to breach) any such obligations, [ * * * ] agrees that without any additional findings of irreparable injury or other conditions to injunctive relief, [ * * * ] shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief, including entry of an appropriate order compelling performance by [ * * * ] and restraining it from any further breaches (or attempted or threatened breaches).

19.4.3

Attorney’s Fees. A Party filing a pleading seeking immediate injunctive relief, which is not awarded in substantial part, shall pay all reasonable costs and attorneys' fees of the other Party.

19.5

Jurisdiction.

Each Party irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding brought by it in any way arising out of this Agreement must be brought solely and exclusively in Illinois, and each Party irrevocably submits to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Xxxx County, Illinois, in personam, generally and unconditionally with respect to any action, suit or proceeding brought by it or against it by the other Party.

138

19.6

Continued Performance.

19.6.1

General. Subject to Section 19.6.2, each Party agrees that it shall, unless otherwise directed by the other Party, continue performing its obligations under this Agreement while any dispute is being resolved; provided, that this provision shall not operate or be construed as extending the Term of this Agreement or prohibiting or delaying a Party’s exercise of any right it may have to terminate the Term as to all or any part of the Services. For purposes of clarification, Kraft Data may not be withheld by Supplier pending the resolution of any dispute.

19.6.2

Non-Interruption of Service. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that any interruption to the Service may cause irreparable harm to Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients, in which case an adequate remedy at law would not be available. Subject to Supplier’s right to terminate the Term pursuant to Section 20.1.2, Supplier expressly acknowledges and agrees that, pending resolution of any dispute or controversy, it shall not deny, withdraw or restrict Supplier’s provision of the Services to Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients under this Agreement, except as specifically and expressly agreed in writing by Kraft and Supplier.

19.7

Governing Law.

This Agreement and performance under it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to conflicts of laws. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

19.8

Expiration of Claims.

Without altering either Party's rights or obligations under Section 12.1.4, no claims to be resolved under this Article 19 may be asserted by either Party more than four (4) years after the later of (i) the last date on which the act or omission giving rise to the claim occurred, or (ii) with respect to invoices issued under this Agreement, the date on which such act or omission was discovered or should reasonably have been discovered (the election to conduct or not to conduct an audit with respect to an invoice shall not, in and of itself, be evidence of reasonableness for this purpose); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to claims based upon a Party’s fraud or willful misconduct, or a claim for which a Party has an indemnity obligation under this Agreement in which event the applicable statute of limitations shall apply. Failure to make such a claim (but not including claims referred to in the proviso of the preceding sentence) within such four-year period shall forever bar the claim.

20.

TERMINATION

20.1

Termination for Cause.

20.1.1

By Kraft.

20.1.1.1

If Supplier:

(1)

commits a material breach of its obligations with respect to Transition Services as provided in Section 4.2.7;

(2)

commits a material breach of this Agreement or an applicable Supplement, which breach is not cured within 30 days after notice of the breach from Kraft; provided

139

that if Supplier works diligently and in good faith to cure such breach in accordance with this provision and such breach is not capable of being cured within 30 days, Supplier may have up to 15 additional days to cure such breach if it demonstrates that it is capable of curing such breach within the additional period and the breach does not materially impair the ability of Kraft or an Eligible Recipient to conduct its business;

(3)

commits [ * * * ] of its duties or obligations of which Supplier has [ * * * ] and which [ * * * ] of this Agreement or an applicable Supplement, and fails to (A) cure such breaches within thirty (30) days after receiving notice from the time such breaches become a material breach, and (B) give Kraft adequate assurance that the cause of each of such breaches has been corrected so as not to be repeated again; provided, however that if, within the twelve (12) month period following the thirty (30) day period described in the preceding clause (A), Supplier again commits numerous breaches of its duties or obligations of which Supplier has received notice and which collectively constitute a material breach of this Agreement, Supplier shall not be entitled to the cure rights described in the preceding clauses (A) and (B);

(4)

becomes liable for or incurs Service Level Credits under this Agreement or applicable Supplement that, in the aggregate, exceed [ * * * ] of the cumulative At Risk Amount under this Agreement or a Supplement during any rolling six-month period, provided that for purposes of determining whether there is a right to terminate under this clause (4), no single Service Level in any month shall be counted for more than [ * * * ] of the At Risk Amount for that month;

(5)

fails to perform in accordance with the Minimum Service Level for a Critical Service Level for [ * * * ] consecutive months or during [ * * * ] of any [ * * * ] consecutive month period; or

(6)

commits a material breach of Section 15.7 of this Agreement;

then Kraft may, by giving notice to Supplier, terminate the term of this Agreement or the Term of an applicable Supplement with respect to all or any part of the Services, as of a date specified in the notice of termination. Supplier shall not be entitled to any Termination Charges in connection with such a termination for cause. If Kraft chooses to terminate this Agreement or a Supplement in part, the Charges payable under this Agreement or such Supplement will be equitably adjusted in accordance with the pricing methodology set forth in the applicable Supplement, to reflect such partial termination. For avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that a material breach under a Supplement shall be deemed a material breach under all Supplements for purposes of this provision.

20.1.1.2

The express acknowledgment that a certain amount of Service Level Credits or number of Service Level defaults constitutes grounds for termination under Section 20.1.1.1 does not imply that a lesser amount or number cannot constitute a material breach of this Agreement and therefore grounds for termination under other subsections.

140

20.1.1.3

Kraft’s right to terminate pursuant to Section 20.1.1.1 will cease after [ * * * ] days following the date which is the later of the date (i) upon which it has cured the breach that gave rise to Kraft's termination right pursuant to Section 20.1.1.1, and (ii) the date that Supplier has provided written notification that it has cured the breach.

20.1.2

By Supplier. In the event that Kraft fails to pay Supplier undisputed charges exceeding in the aggregate [ * * * ], or Kraft fails to place disputed amounts into escrow to the extent required by Section 12.4.6, by the specified due date and fails to cure such default within [ * * * ] days after Kraft’s Chief Information Officer receives a notice from Supplier of such failure and Supplier’s intention to terminate for failure to make such payment, Supplier may, by notice to Kraft, terminate the Term. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that Sections 20.1.2 and 20.5 describe Supplier’s sole right to terminate this Agreement or a Supplement and Supplier hereby waives any other rights it may have to terminate this Agreement or any Supplement under this Agreement.

20.2

Termination for Convenience.

Beginning [ * * * ] months after the Commencement Date of a Supplement, Kraft may terminate such Supplement, in whole or in part, with respect to all or any portion of the Services under such Supplement for convenience and without cause with effect at any time by giving Supplier at least three months’ prior notice designating the termination date. If Kraft elects to terminate on this basis, Kraft shall pay to Supplier a Termination Charge calculated in accordance with the applicable Supplement. In the event that a purported termination for cause by Kraft under Section 20.1 is determined by a competent authority not to be properly a termination for cause, then such termination by Kraft shall be deemed to be a termination for convenience under this Section 20.2.

20.3

Termination Upon Supplier Change of Control.

In the event of a change in Control of Supplier (or that portion of Supplier providing all or any material portion of the Services under this Agreement) or the Entity that Controls Supplier (if any), where such control is acquired, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or all or substantially all of the assets of Supplier (or that portion of Supplier providing all or any material portion of the Services under this Agreement) are acquired by any entity, or Supplier (or that portion of Supplier providing all or any material portion of the Services under this Agreement) is merged with or into another entity to form a new entity, then at any time within 12 months after the last to occur of such events, Kraft may at its option terminate the Term by giving Supplier at least 90 days’ prior notice and designating a date upon which such termination shall be effective; provided, however, if such change in Control of Supplier involves a [ * * * ], Kraft may terminate the Term by giving Supplier at least 60 days’ prior notice, and such [ * * * ] shall be prohibited from any contact with Kraft Data, Kraft Proprietary Information and any and all other information about the Kraft account, including discussions with Supplier Personnel regarding specifics relating to the Services. Supplier shall be entitled to [ * * * ], calculated in accordance with the applicable Supplement, in connection with a termination on this basis.

20.4

Termination Upon Kraft Change of Control.

In the event that, in a single transaction or series of transactions, Kraft acquires or is acquired by any other Entity (by stock sale, asset sale or otherwise) or merges with any other Entity, then, at any time within 12 months after the last to occur of such events, Kraft may at its option terminate the Term by giving Supplier at least 90 days prior notice and designating a date upon which such termination shall be effective. If Kraft terminates on this basis, Supplier shall be entitled to Termination Charges, calculated in accordance with the applicable Supplement.

141

20.5

Termination for Insolvency.

In the event that any Party (i) commences a bankruptcy case or a bankruptcy case is commenced against a Party, (ii) becomes or is declared insolvent, is the subject of insolvency or similar proceedings under state or federal law, or a receiver or similar officer or representative is appointed with respect to all or substantially all of a Party’s assets, (iii) passes a resolution for its voluntary liquidation, (iv) makes an assignment for the benefit of all or substantially all of its creditors, (v) enters into an agreement or arrangement for the composition, extension, or readjustment of substantially all of its obligations , or (vi) experiences an event analogous to any of the foregoing in any jurisdiction in which any of its assets are situated, then the other Party may terminate this Agreement as of a date specified in a termination notice; provided, however, that Supplier will not have the right to exercise such termination under this Section so long as Kraft pays for the Services to be received hereunder in advance on a month-to-month basis. If any Party elects to terminate this Agreement due to the insolvency of the other Party, such termination will be deemed to be a termination for cause hereunder.

20.6

[ * * * ] Rights Upon [ * * * ] Bankruptcy.

20.6.1

General Rights. In the event of [ * * * ] bankruptcy or other formal procedure referenced in Section 20.5 or of the filing of any petition under bankruptcy laws affecting the rights of [ * * * ] which is not stayed or dismissed within [ * * * ] days of filing, in addition to the other rights and remedies set forth herein, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, subject to the qualifications in the last two sentences below, [ * * * ] will have the right to retain and take possession for safekeeping all [ * * * ] to which [ * * * ] and/or [ * * * ] are or would be entitled during the Term or upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement. [ * * * ] shall cooperate fully with [ * * * ] and [ * * * ] and assist [ * * * ] and [ * * * ] in identifying and taking possession of the items listed in the preceding sentence. [ * * * ] shall comply with [ * * * ] reasonable safety and security procedures, shall not have a right to access data or materials which it would not have a right to obtain under the provisions of this Agreement, and shall use reasonable efforts to avoid disruptions to [ * * * ] operations. [ * * * ] shall be excused of any failure or inability to perform [ * * * ] in accordance with this Agreement to the extent caused by [ * * * ] actions. [ * * * ] will have the right to hold such [ * * * ] until such time as the trustee or receiver in bankruptcy or other appropriate insolvency office holder can provide adequate assurances and evidence to [ * * * ] that they will be protected from sale, release, inspection, publication, or inclusion in any publicly accessible record, document, material or filing. [ * * * ] acknowledges that [ * * * ] has stated that without this material provision, [ * * * ] would not have entered into this Agreement or provided any right to the possession or use of [ * * * ] Agreement. [ * * * ] may not use its rights under this section to effect [ * * * ], nor will [ * * * ] exercise of its rights hereunder alter in any manner the pricing under the applicable Supplement. To the extent [ * * * ] removal of any such [ * * * ] impairs [ * * * ] ability to perform, [ * * * ] shall be excused pursuant to [ * * * ], provided that [ * * * ] shall retain all rights it would otherwise have under this Agreement [ * * * ] subject to the [ * * * ] under the applicable Supplement.

20.6.2

Kraft Rights in Event of Bankruptcy Rejection. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Supplier becomes a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §101 et. seq. or any similar Law in any other country (the “Bankruptcy Code”)) and rejects this Agreement pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy

142

Code (a “Bankruptcy Rejection”), (i) any and all of the licensee and sublicensee rights, to the extent such rights are “intellectual property rights”, of Kraft and the Eligible Recipients arising under or otherwise set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation the rights of Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients referred to in Section 14.6, shall be deemed, upon election by Kraft under Section 365(n)(1)(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, fully retained by and vested in Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients as protected intellectual property rights under Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code and further shall be deemed to exist immediately before the commencement of the bankruptcy case in which Supplier is the debtor; (ii) Kraft shall have all of the rights afforded to non-debtor licensees and sublicensees under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (iii) to the extent any license or sublicense rights of Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients under this Agreement which arise after the termination or expiration of this Agreement are determined by a bankruptcy court not to be “intellectual property rights” for purposes of Section 365(n), all of such license or sublicense rights shall remain vested in and fully retained by Kraft and/or the Eligible Recipients to the extent provided in this Agreement after any Bankruptcy Rejection as though this Agreement were terminated or expired in accordance with its terms. Kraft shall under no circumstances be required to terminate this Agreement after a Bankruptcy Rejection in order to enjoy or acquire any of its rights under this Agreement, including without limitation any of the rights of Kraft referenced in Section 14.6, unless termination of this Agreement or a Supplement by Kraft is required under the terms of the Agreement for Kraft to enjoy or acquire any such rights.

20.7

Critical Services.

Without limiting Kraft’s rights under Section 20.1, if Supplier commits a material breach which has a significant impact on the ability of Kraft or the Eligible Recipients to conduct a material aspect of their businesses, and Supplier is unable to cure such breach within [ * * * ], Kraft may, in addition to its other remedies at law and in equity, obtain from a third party or provide for itself services which will allow Kraft or the Eligible Recipients to conduct their businesses until Supplier has cured the breach or this Agreement is terminated. Supplier shall reimburse Kraft for all costs and expenses of obtaining or providing such services, at Kraft’s election, for up to [ * * * ] after Supplier has notified Kraft in writing that Supplier will be unable to resume performance of the affected Services, which notice may not be given until after the commencement of the breach. The express inclusion of this remedy in this Section 20.7 does not limit Kraft’s right to use a similar remedy for other breaches by Supplier of this Agreement.

Covenant Regarding Pledging.

Supplier may assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber its rights to receive payments from Kraft under this Agreement, provided that Supplier shall ensure that (a) no Entity to which Supplier assigns, transfers, pledges, hypothecates or otherwise encumbers its rights to receive payments hereunder shall have any right to enforce the terms of this Agreement, except for its right to collect such payments from Kraft or the Eligible Recipients in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) any Entity to which Supplier assigns, transfers, pledges, hypothecates or otherwise encumbers its rights to receive payments hereunder shall not be entitled to approve any amendment, modification or termination of this Agreement, (c) any such transaction shall not limit Supplier’s rights to amend, modify or terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and (d) Supplier shall continue to be Kraft’s sole point of contact with respect to this Agreement, including with respect to payment, subject to a third party’s right to collect payment owed hereunder as provided above.

21.16

Order of Precedence.

In the event of a conflict, this amended MPSA shall take precedence over (a) the Schedules, and the Schedules shall take precedence over any Attachments or attached Exhibits, and (b) any Supplement, and Supplements shall take precedence over the Schedules, Attachments and Exhibits to such Supplement, except for any term specifically identified as superseding the terms of this Agreement, which term shall control over this Agreement for that Supplement, Attachment or Exhibit only.

Solicitation and Hiring. Except as expressly set forth herein, during the Term and for a period of 12 months thereafter, Supplier will not solicit for employment directly or indirectly, nor employ, any employees of Kraft or an Eligible Recipient or individual Kraft Third Party Contractors involved in the performance or consumption of the Services, or who become known to the Supplier in connection with Supplier’s performance of the Services (unless Supplier is not aware and should not have been reasonably expected to be aware that the employer of the individual is a Kraft Third Party Contractor) without the prior approval of Kraft. Except as expressly set forth herein in connection with the expiration or termination of this Agreement, during the Term and for a period of 12 months thereafter, Kraft will not, and will not permit any Kraft Affiliate to, solicit for employment directly or indirectly, nor employ, any employee of Supplier involved in the performance of Supplier’s obligations under a Supplement without the prior consent of Supplier. In each case, the prohibition on solicitation and hiring shall extend 90 days after the termination of the employee’s employment or, in the case of Supplier employees, the cessation of his or her involvement in the performance of Services under the applicable Supplement. This provision shall not operate or be construed to prevent or limit any employee’s right to practice his or her profession or to utilize his or her skills for another employer or to restrict any employee’s freedom of movement or association.

21.17.2

Publications. Neither the publication of classified advertisements in newspapers, periodicals, Internet bulletin boards, or other publications of general availability or circulation nor the consideration and hiring of persons responding to such advertisements shall be deemed a breach of this Section 21.17, unless the advertisement and solicitation is undertaken as a means to circumvent or conceal a violation of this provision and/or the hiring party acts with knowledge of this hiring prohibition.

21.18

Each Party covenants and agrees that, subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and without any additional consideration, each Party shall execute and deliver any further legal instruments and perform any acts that are or may become necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
