     (b) Each DPSG Business Employee shall be treated for the purposes of the Cadbury Employee Share Schemes as having ceased to be an employee of Cadbury at the Distribution Date.
     (c) Where an award granted under the DPSG Legacy Equity Plans replaces an award under the Cadbury Employee Share Schemes in accordance with the provisions of this Article 3, such award shall be on terms which are in all material respects identical to the terms of the award which it replaces having regard to the fact that those terms are the terms which are applicable to a good leaver under the relevant Cadbury Employee Share Scheme but subject to any necessary changes to take into account that (i) the award relates to DPSG Common Stock, (ii) the DPSG Legacy Equity Plan is administered by DPSG and (iii) the award is not subject to any performance conditions.
     Section 3.02 Share Option Plans. Each unexercised option of a DPSG Business Employee on the Distribution Date shall be converted in accordance with the rules of the applicable Share Option Plan into an option over Cadbury plc Ordinary Shares. The number of Cadbury plc Ordinary Shares shall be determined based on the Exchange Ratio. The aggregate exercise price of the substitute option shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price of the option that it replaces except (i) that it shall be in US dollars and (ii) for any adjustments that the Cadbury Committee determines to be appropriate if the Exchange Ratio does not result in a whole number of Cadbury plc Ordinary Shares. Such substituted options shall, in the sole discretion of the Cadbury Committee, preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the original options for which they are substituted and the ratio in the original option of the exercise price to the fair market value of the stock by adjusting the number of shares purchasable and the exercise price, based on the a comparison of the Cadbury Final Price and the Cadbury Initial Price. Such substitute options shall:
          (i) if they represent options granted before May 2005, be fully vested and exercisable for a period of 12 months after the Distribution Date; and
          (ii) if they represent options granted after April 2005, be fully vested and exercisable for a period of 12 months starting on the third anniversary of the grant date of the options that they represent.

     (a) Contingent Share Awards. Subject to the Scheme becoming effective, each Contingent Share Award (as defined in the rules of the relevant LTIP) of a DPSG Business Employee shall be converted based on the Exchange Ratio into a Contingent Share Award over Cadbury plc Ordinary Shares in accordance with the rules of the relevant LTIP and those shares shall be released to the DPSG Business Employee in accordance with the rules of the relevant LTIP within sixty (60) days following the Distribution Date.
     (b) Basic Awards.

     (ii) The number of Cadbury Ordinary Shares subject to each Basic Award held by each DPSG Business Employee, as determined in accordance with Section 3.03(a), shall then be reduced on a time pro-rated basis having regard to the proportion of the relevant performance period applicable to that Basic Award completed prior to the Distribution Date and converted based on the Exchange Ratio into an award over DPSG Common Stock to be granted by DPSG under the applicable DPSG Legacy Equity Plan. The DPSG Common Stock subject to the replacement award shall be released to the DPSG Business Employee within sixty (60) days following the end of the performance period originally applicable to the relevant Basic Award.

     (c) Restricted Awards. All restrictions applicable to the Cadbury Ordinary Shares subject to the Restricted Awards (as defined in the rules of the ISAP) of each DPSG Business Employee shall lapse on the date on which the Scheme is sanctioned by the Court and such shares shall be subject to the terms of the Scheme.
          Section 3.06 Employee Share Option Plans. Each unexercised option of a DPSG Business Employee on the Distribution Date shall be converted in accordance with the rules of the applicable Share Option Plan into an option over Cadbury plc Ordinary Shares.

aggregate exercise price of the substitute option shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price of the option that it replaces except (i) that it shall be in US dollars and (ii) for any adjustments that the Cadbury Committee determines to be appropriate if the Exchange Ratio does not result in a whole number of Cadbury plc Ordinary Shares. Such substituted options shall, in the sole discretion of the Cadbury Committee, preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the original options for which they are substituted and the ratio in the original option of the exercise price to the fair market value of the stock by adjusting the number of shares purchasable and the exercise price, based on a comparison of the Cadbury Final Price and the Cadbury Initial Price. Such substitute options shall be exercisable in accordance with the rules of the relevant Employee Share Option Plan.
          Section 3.07 Responsibility for Tax Withholding, Reporting, and Social Insurance Contributions. Cadbury and DPSG agree that, unless prohibited by applicable law, DPSG shall be responsible for all tax withholding and reporting obligations and shall pay the employer’s share of any social insurance tax obligations that arise in connection with the vesting, exercise, transfer or other settlement of the adjusted awards held by DPSG Business Employees.

          Section 3.08 No Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, the Distribution shall not constitute a “change of ownership” or a “change in control” for purposes of Cadbury equity awards which are outstanding as of the Distribution Date.
          Section 3.09 Compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, if any provision of this Article 3 contravenes any regulations or guidance promulgated under Code Section 409A or could cause the awards subject to this Article 3 to be subject to additional taxes, accelerated taxation, interest or penalties under Code Section 409A, the parties will make reasonable commercial efforts to agree how to modify this Article 3: (i) to comply with, or avoid being subject to, Code Section 409A, or to avoid the imposition of any taxes, accelerated taxation, interest or penalties under Code Section 409A, and (ii) to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without contravening the provisions of Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE 5
U.S. PENSION PLAN SPIN-OFF
          Section 5.01 General Principle. Effective on or before the Distribution Date, DPSG shall establish and adopt a defined benefit pension benefit plan and trust (the “DPSG Pension Plan”) intended to be qualified under IRS Code Section 401(a) and containing provisions that will provide to each DPSG Business Employee and Former DPSG Employee (and each alternate payee or beneficiary of such person) (the “DPSG Pension Beneficiaries”) benefits identical to those accrued with respect to such person under the Cadbury Pension Plan as of December 31, 2007 (the “Pension Measurement Date”). On or before the Distribution Date, Cadbury shall (i) determine the Initial Transfer Amount (as defined below) and (ii) cause assets equal to the Initial Transfer Amount (adjusted as provided below) to be transferred to the trust under the DPSG Pension Plan in the form described below (the “Initial Transfer”). As of the date of such transfer of the Initial Transfer Amount (the “Initial Transfer Date”), DPSG shall commence making the required benefit payments under the terms of the DPSG Pension Plan and shall assume all liabilities with respect to the payment of benefits previously accrued by the DPSG Pension Beneficiaries under the Cadbury Pension Plan. A DPSG Business Employee shall not accrue benefits under the Cadbury Pension Plan after the date on which such employee becomes eligible to participate under the DPSG Pension Plan, unless such DPSG Pension Beneficiary shall become employed by Cadbury or a Cadbury Subsidiary after such date. A Cadbury Business Employee shall not accrue benefits under the DPSG Pension Plan, unless such Cadbury Business Employee shall become employed by DPSG or a DPSG Subsidiary. Following the Initial Transfer Date (i) an enrolled actuary appointed by Cadbury (the “Cadbury Actuary”) shall determine the Final Pension Transfer Amount (as defined below) and (ii) a True-Up Adjustment shall be made with respect to the Cadbury Pension Plan and the DPSG Pension Plan, as provided below. The Parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to cause the determination of the Final Pension Transfer Amount and the True-Up Adjustment to be completed as reasonably promptly as practicable, subject to the time frames established under Section 5.03, but in no event later than December 31, 2008. Before or promptly after the date hereof, Cadbury and DPSG shall file requests with the IRS for qualification determination letters under IRS Code Section 401(a) with respect to the Cadbury Pension Plan and the DPSG Pension Plan and shall take any and all reasonable action, including the adoption of any amendments requested by the IRS, as shall be necessary to obtain such determination letters. The transfers hereunder shall occur prior to, but subject to the subsequent receipt of, favorable determination letters issued by the IRS with respect to the Cadbury Pension Plan and DPSG Pension Plan, copies of which shall be shared among Cadbury and DPSG promptly upon issuance.
          Section 5.02 Determination and Transfer of Initial Transfer Amount. On or before the Distribution Date, with the assistance of the Cadbury Actuary, Cadbury shall establish and communicate to DPSG the amount equal to 90% of the estimated asset transfer amount calculated as of January 1, 2008 in accordance with IRS Code Section 414(l) but based on January 1, 2007 census data and November 30, 2007 trust assets as attributable to benefits accrued by DPSG Pension Beneficiaries under the Cadbury Pension Plan as of the Pension Measurement Date, adjusted for contributions, distributions, trust gains and losses, payments and other appropriate items occurring between the Pension Measurement Date and the Initial Transfer Date, all as estimated in good faith by Cadbury (the “Initial Transfer Amount”).

 


 

Following the determination of the Initial Transfer Amount by Cadbury, Cadbury shall cause to be transferred from the trust under the Cadbury Pension Plan to the trust under the DPSG Pension Plan assets having an aggregate Value (as defined below) equal to the Initial Transfer Amount. Such assets shall be in the form of cash, securities and other property, determined in accordance with the provisions below.
          Section 5.03 Determination of the Final Pension Transfer Amount.
     (a) Calculation of the Cadbury Actuary. Following the Distribution Date, the Cadbury Actuary shall determine the Final Pension Transfer Amount, which shall be equal to the amount required to be transferred from the Cadbury Pension Plan to the DPSG Pension Plan in respect of the assumption by the DPSG Pension Plan of the benefit obligations of the Cadbury Pension Plan of benefits accrued by the DPSG Pension Beneficiaries as of the Pension Measurement Date, as determined in accordance with IRS Code Section 414(l) and the regulations thereunder and the actuarial assumptions and methods set forth in Schedule 6.03 hereof, as appropriately adjusted to reflect the following amounts arising after the Pension Measurement Date and before the True-Up Adjustment: (A) any distributions and contributions made in respect of the DPSG Pension Beneficiaries, (B) administrative expenses of the Cadbury Pension Plan reasonably allocable to the DPSG Pension Beneficiaries, (C) earnings realized by the Cadbury Pension Plan allocable to the DPSG Pension Beneficiaries, (D) the net gain or loss (realized and unrealized) of the Cadbury Pension Plan allocable to the DPSG Pension Beneficiaries and (E) other appropriate items. Cadbury and DPSG shall each be responsible for the funding of their respective pension plans. It is anticipated that each pension plan will have underfunding under ERISA Section 4044. Each party shall be responsible for funding such underfunding under their respective pension plan. Promptly upon determination of the Final Pension Transfer Amount, Cadbury shall cause the Cadbury Actuary to provide to DPSG a written statement of the Final Pension Transfer Amount, a summary of the calculation of such amount (the “Pension Statement”) and a written statement that the sum of the Initial Transfer Amount and the Final Pension Transfer Amount satisfies the requirements of IRS Code Section 414(l).
     (b) Resolution of Differences. Cadbury shall provide DPSG with all information reasonably necessary to review the calculation of the Final Pension Transfer Amount in all material respects and to verify that such calculations have been performed in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The determination of the Final Pension Transfer Amount by the Cadbury Actuary shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes under this Agreement, unless DPSG provides to Cadbury, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Pension Statement, a written objection prepared by an enrolled actuary retained by DPSG setting forth in detail a reasonable basis for the conclusion that the Final Pension Transfer Amount set forth in the Pension Statement is understated by an amount in excess of 5%. Upon receipt of such objection, Cadbury and DPSG shall make a good faith attempt to resolve their dispute as to the Final Pension Transfer Amount. Should such dispute remain unresolved for more than thirty (30) days, Cadbury and DPSG shall promptly select and appoint a third enrolled actuary who is mutually satisfactory to both Parties. The third actuary shall recalculate the Final Pension Transfer Amount and if such recalculated amount exceeds the Final Pension Transfer Amount set forth in the Pension Statement by more than 5%, then such recalculated amount shall serve as the Final Pension Transfer Amount for all purposes under this Agreement. If such recalculated

 


 

amount does not exceed the Final Pension Transfer Amount set forth in the Pension Statement by more than 5%, then for all purposes under this Agreement the Final Pension Transfer Amount shall be the Final Pension Transfer Amount as set forth in the Pension Statement. The recalculation of such third party actuary shall be completed within thirty (30) days of the retention of such third party actuary and shall be conclusive as to any dispute with respect to the Final Pension Transfer Amount, except as set forth in Section 5.05 below. The cost of such third party actuary shall be divided equally between Cadbury and DPSG. Each Party shall be responsible for the cost of its own actuary.
          Section 5.04 True-Up Adjustment. The following transfer shall be made promptly after the date that the Final Pension Transfer Amount is determined as set forth above: (A) if the Final Pension Transfer Amount exceeds the Initial Transfer Amount, Cadbury shall promptly cause to be transferred from the Cadbury Pension Plan trust to the DPSG Pension Plan trust assets having a Value equal to such excess and (B) if the Initial Transfer Amount exceeds the Final Pension Transfer Amount, DPSG shall promptly cause to be transferred from the DPSG Pension Plan trust to the Cadbury Pension Plan trust assets having a Value equal to such excess.
          Section 5.05 Form and Selection of Assets to be Transferred. The assets to be transferred in the Initial Transfer and the True-Up Adjustment Assets will be transferred in-kind or in cash pro rata from each investment manager under the transferring plan in a manner that represents, as closely as commercially practical, a pro rata portion of each asset and position held by the manager as of the date of such transfer, except that reasonable adjustments shall be made where Cadbury determines such transfers cannot reasonably be made by the Cadbury Pension Plan due to investment manager account minimums or where other considerations prevent such pro rata transfers or render such pro rata transfers impractical. For purposes of the Agreement, the "Value” of all pension assets shall be the value of such assets as determined in good faith by Cadbury based on all relevant information known to Cadbury at the time of such determination, including the most recent account statements or schedules of asset values provided to Cadbury by any service providers maintaining or overseeing any such assets or any investment vehicles which represent or hold the relevant plan assets. Cadbury shall select the assets to be transferred and provide a schedule of such assets to DPSG 14 days prior to the transfer of such assets. DPSG shall communicate to Cadbury any objection to the schedule of the assets to be transferred promptly, and upon receipt by Cadbury of such objection, Cadbury and DPSG shall make a good faith attempt to resolve their dispute as to the assets to be transferred within the period remaining prior to the transfer of the assets. Should such dispute remain unresolved upon the asset transfer date, the assets shall be transferred in accordance with the schedule provided by Cadbury. Any assets that are liquidated prior to transfer shall be reduced by the asset liquidation expenses actually incurred.
ARTICLE 6
U.S. 401(K) PLAN
          Section 6.01 General Principle. Effective on or before the Distribution Date, DPSG shall establish and adopt a qualified employee cash or deferred arrangement under IRS Code Section 401(k) (the “DPSG 401(k) Plan”) intended to be qualified under IRS Code Section 401(a) and containing provisions that will provide benefits for each DPSG Business

 


 

Employee and Former DPSG Employee (and each beneficiary and alternate payee of such person) (the “DPSG DC Plan Beneficiaries”) identical to those in effect for the DPSG DC Plan Beneficiaries as of the date of transfer of assets and liabilities with respect to such plan (as described below). Before or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Distribution Date, the assets and liabilities relating to the DPSG DC Plan Beneficiaries under the Cadbury 401(k) Plan and shall be transferred to the DPSG 401(k) Plan. DPSG Business Employees shall not make or receive additional contributions under the Cadbury 401(k) Plan after the effective date of the DPSG 401(k) Plan, unless such DPSG Business Employee shall become employed by Cadbury or a Cadbury Subsidiary after such date. A Cadbury Business Employee shall not participate in the DPSG 401(k) Plan after the effective date of the DPSG 401(k) Plan, unless such Cadbury Business Employee shall become employed by DPSG or a DPSG Subsidiary after such date.
          Section 6.02 Transfer of Accounts. Effective before or as soon as practical following the Distribution Date, but in no event later than six months following the Distribution Date, Cadbury shall cause to be transferred from trusts under the Cadbury 401(k) Plan to the trust under the DPSG 401(k) Plan the aggregate amount that is credited to the accounts of the DPSG DC Plan Beneficiaries (disregarding any participant loans from the plans) as of the date of transfer, but not less than or more than permitted by law, as determined by Cadbury. The transfer shall be an in-kind transfer, subject to the reasonable consent of the trustee of the DPSG 401(k) Plan and shall include the transfer of the aggregate assets held in the accounts relating to each DPSG DC Plan Beneficiary under the Cadbury 401(k) Plan and any participant loan notes held under such plans. Any assets that are liquidated prior to transfer shall be reduced by the asset liquidation expenses, such as commissions or early withdrawal penalties, actually incurred. Cadbury shall cause the DPSG 401(k) Plan to allocate the portion of any forfeiture account under the Cadbury 401(k) Plan that relates to forfeiture by Former DPSG Employees consistent with Cadbury’s past practice regarding allocation of forfeitures under the Cadbury 401(k) Plan. Before or promptly after the date hereof, Cadbury and DPSG shall file requests with the IRS for qualification determination letters under IRS Code Section 401(a) and 401(k) (as applicable) with respect to the Cadbury 401(k) Plan and DPSG 401(k) Plan and shall take any and all reasonable actions, including the adoption of amendments requested by the IRS, as shall be necessary to obtain such determination letters. The transfers under this Section 6.02 shall occur prior to, but subject to the subsequent receipt of favorable determination letters issued by the IRS with respect to the Cadbury 401(k) Plan and DPSG 401(k) Plan, copies of which shall be shared among Cadbury and DPSG promptly upon issuance.
          Section 6.03 Funding of 2008 Matching Contribution. DPSG shall fund and allocate the full amount of any 2008 matching contribution accrued under the terms of the Cadbury 401(k) Plan to eligible DPSG DC Plan Beneficiaries under the DPSG 401(k) Plan within the time permitted by law (determined based on the terms of the Cadbury 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the transfer to the DPSG 401(k) Plan as if the transfer to the DPSG 401(k) Plan did not occur, but paid and contributed by DPSG to the DPSG 401(k) Plan).

 


 

ARTICLE 7
U.S. WELFARE BENEFIT PLANS
          Section 7.01 General Principle. Except as provided below, on or about the Distribution Date, liabilities relating to DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees shall be transferred to newly established DPSG welfare benefit plans that shall contain the same benefit provisions as in effect for DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees immediately prior to such date, and DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees shall cease to participate in the Cadbury welfare benefit plans. Welfare benefit plans include health, welfare, and wellness benefits plans (including, medical, dental, prescription drug and vision benefits, life insurance, accidental death and disability insurance, business travel accident insurance, disability (STD and LTD), long term care, flexible spending accounts, severance, Employee Assistance Plan, and similar types of plans). DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees shall not participate in Cadbury welfare benefit plans following the effective date of the DPSG plans described in this Section 7.01, unless they shall become employed by Cadbury after such date. Cadbury Business Employees and Former Cadbury Employees shall not participate in any DPSG welfare benefit plans following the effective date of such plans, unless they shall become employed by DPSG after such date.
          Section 7.02 Establishment of DPSG Plans.
     (a) General Rule. DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees shall cease to participate in the Cadbury welfare benefit plans on or about the Distribution Date.
     (b) Treatment of Claims Incurred. DPSG shall assume and shall be responsible for the liability for payment of all covered claims (including medical, dental, life insurance and long-term disability) and eligible expenses incurred by any DPSG Business Employee and beneficiaries thereof under the Cadbury Welfare Plans and Cadbury Non-ERISA U.S. Benefit Arrangements prior to the Distribution Date, and Cadbury shall not be responsible for any liability with respect to any such claims or expenses.
     (c) Credit for Deductibles and Other Limits. With respect to each DPSG Business Employee and Former DPSG Employee, and each covered dependent, beneficiary, or other related party of such individual (the “DPSG Welfare Plan Participants”), the DPSG welfare benefit plans will give credit in the year of the Distribution Date for any amount paid under the comparable type Cadbury plan by such DPSG Welfare Plan Participant in the year of the Distribution Date toward deductibles, out-of-pocket maximum, or other, similar limitations to the extent such amounts are taken into account under the comparable type Cadbury plan. For purposes of any life-time maximum out-of-pocket limit on expenses paid by a covered participant, the DPSG welfare plans will recognize any expenses incurred by a DPSG Welfare Plan Participant prior to the Distribution to the same extent such expenses would be recognized in respect of an active plan participant under the comparable type Cadbury plan.
     (d) COBRA. Effective as of the date of cessation of participation in the Cadbury welfare benefit plans by the DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees (as provided above), DPSG shall assume and satisfy all requirements under COBRA with respect to

     (e) Disabled Persons. The Parties intend that any Employee who has, prior to the Distribution Date, become eligible to receive any long-term disability benefits pursuant to any third-party insurance policy applicable under any welfare benefit plan shall continue to be eligible to receive such benefits in accordance with the terms of such plan and policy.
          Section 7.03 Insurance Contracts. To the extent any Cadbury welfare benefit plan is funded through the purchase of an insurance contract or is subject to any stop loss contract, Cadbury and DPSG will cooperate and use their reasonable commercial efforts to “clone” such insurance contracts for DPSG and to maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for both Cadbury and DPSG through the end of the term of the Transition Services Agreement. Neither party shall be liable for failure to obtain such pricing discounts or other preferential terms for DPSG. The cost of “cloning”, including any increases in premiums, charges or administrative fees relating to DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees shall be the obligation of DPSG.

Payments may commence immediately, but is actuarially reduced prior to earliest retirement age provided he or she had accrued the required vesting service prior to termination. Former SU Plan participants who are eligible for a vested retirement pension will have their payments reduced by 6% for each of the first 10 years that their vested retirement date precedes normal retirement date.
 
   
Death Benefit
  For beneficiaries of participants who die prior to satisfying the service requirement for early retirement: 50% of the employee’s vested accrued benefit reduced on an actuarially equivalent basis and converted to a 50% joint and survivor form of payment commencing as of the date of death.
 
   
 
  For beneficiaries of participants who die after satisfying the requirements for early retirement: 50% of the employee’s vested accrued benefit, converted to a 50% joint and survivor form of payment commencing as of the date of death.
 
   
 
  For beneficiaries of participants who die after normal retirement date: 50% of the employee’s vested accrued benefit as reduced for the 50% joint and survivor annuity payable for the beneficiary’s lifetime.
 
   
 
  In all cases, the death benefit is assumed payable as a lump sum.
 
   
Disability
  PPA allocations based on pay at the time of disability continue to be made until retirement or recovery, and the employee continues to accrue vesting service.
 
   
 
  The disability benefit is assumed payable as a lump sum at normal retirement date.
