The Borrower proposing the Competitive Bid Borrowing shall, in turn, (A) before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Bid Advances and (B) before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Floating Rate Bid Advances, either:

-20-


(ii)    accept, in its sole discretion, one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(c), by giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the amount of each Competitive Bid Advance (which amount shall be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less than the maximum amount, notified to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, for such Competitive Bid Advance pursuant to Section 2.07(c) to be made by each Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing) and reject any remaining offers made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(c) by giving the Administrative Agent notice to that effect. Such Borrower shall accept the offers made by any Lender or Lenders to make Competitive Bid Advances in order of the lowest to the highest rates of interest offered by such Lenders. If two or more Lenders have offered the same interest rate, the amount to be borrowed at such interest rate will be allocated among such Lenders in proportion to the maximum amount that each such Lender offered at such interest rate.

If the Borrower proposing such Competitive Bid Borrowing notifies the Administrative Agent that such Competitive Bid Borrowing is canceled pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(i), or if such Borrower fails to give timely notice in accordance with Section 2.07(d), the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made.

(e)    Competitive Bid Borrowing. If the Borrower proposing such Competitive Bid Borrowing accepts one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify:

(i)    each Lender that has made an offer as described in Section 2.07(c), whether or not any offer or offers made by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(c) have been accepted by such Borrower;

(ii)    each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the date and amount of each Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; and

(iii)    each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, upon receipt, that the Administrative Agent has received forms of documents appearing to fulfill the applicable conditions set forth in Article III.

When each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing has received notice pursuant to Section 2.07(e)(iii), such Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing specified in the notice received from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.07(e)(i), make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, in same day funds, such Lender’s portion of such Competitive Bid Borrowing. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III and after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such funds, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to such Borrower at the location specified by such Borrower in its Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing. Promptly after each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing, the consequent Competitive Bid Reduction and the dates upon which such Competitive Bid Reduction commenced and will terminate.

 

-21-


(f)    Irrevocable Notice. If the Borrower proposing such Competitive Bid Borrowing notifies the Administrative Agent that it accepts one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(c), such notice of acceptance shall be irrevocable and binding on such Borrower. Such Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing for such Competitive Bid Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing when such Competitive Bid Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(g)    Amount of Competitive Bid Borrowings; Competitive Bid Notes. Each Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $50,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and, following the making of each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the aggregate amount of Advances then outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders. Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.07, any Borrower may from time to time borrow under this Section 2.07, prepay pursuant to Section 2.11 or repay pursuant to Section 2.07(h), and reborrow under this Section 2.07; provided that a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made within two Business Days of the date of any other Competitive Bid Borrowing. The indebtedness of any Borrower resulting from each Competitive Bid Advance made to such Borrower as part of a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be evidenced by a separate Competitive Bid Note of such Borrower payable to the Lender (or its registered assigns) making such Competitive Bid Advance.

(h)    Repayment of Competitive Bid Advances. On the maturity date of each Competitive Bid Advance provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender that has made a Competitive Bid Advance the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance. No Borrower shall have any right to prepay any principal amount of any Competitive Bid Advance unless, and then only on the terms set forth in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance.

(i)    Interest on Competitive Bid Advances. Each Borrower that has borrowed through a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance from the date of such Competitive Bid Advance to the date the principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such Competitive Bid Advance and on the interest payment date or dates set forth in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance. If any principal of or interest on any Competitive Bid Advance payable by a Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, payable in arrears on the date or dates interest is payable on such Competitive Bid Advance, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Competitive Bid Advance under the terms of the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance unless otherwise agreed in such Competitive Bid Note.

SECTION 2.08    LIBO Rate Determination.

(a)    Methods to Determine LIBO Rate. The Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBO Rate by using the methods described in the definition of the term “LIBO Rate,” and shall give prompt notice to Mondelēz and the applicable Borrowers and Lenders of each such LIBO Rate.

(b)    Inability to Determine LIBO Rate. In the event that the LIBO Rate cannot be determined by the methods described in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) of the definition of “LIBO Rate,” then:

(i)    the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify Mondelēz and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such LIBO Rate Advance or Floating Rate Bid Advances, as the case may be;

(ii)    with respect to each LIBO Rate Advance, such Advance will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be prepaid by the Borrower or be automatically Converted into a Base Rate Advance; and

(iii)    the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBO Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances or to Convert Base Rate Advances into LIBO Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify Mondelēz and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c)    Inadequate LIBO Rate. If, with respect to any LIBO Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that (i) they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market at or about 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective LIBO Rate Advances as a part of such Borrowing during the Interest Period therefor or (ii) the LIBO Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective LIBO Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify Mondelēz and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower of such LIBO Rate Advances will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Base Rate Advances into, LIBO Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify Mondelēz and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. In the case of clause (ii) above, each such Lender shall certify its cost of funds for each Interest Period to the Administrative Agent and Mondelēz as soon as practicable but in any event not later than 10 Business Days after the last day of such Interest Period.

SECTION 2.09    Fees.

(a)    Facility Fee. Mondelēz agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Commitment (whether drawn or undrawn) from the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date at the Applicable Facility Fee Rate, in each case payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December until the Termination Date and on the Termination Date.

 

-23-


(b)    Other Fees. Mondelēz shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the accounts of the Joint Lead Arrangers or Lenders, as applicable, such fees, and at such times, as shall have been separately agreed between Mondelēz and the Administrative Agent or the Joint Lead Arrangers.

SECTION 2.10    Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments and Extension of Termination Date.

(a)    Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. Mondelēz shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders; provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of no less than $50,000,000 or the remaining balance if less than $50,000,000; and provided further that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid Advances then outstanding.

(b)    Extension of Termination Date. (i) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to each anniversary of the Effective Date (any such applicable anniversary of the Effective Date, the “Extension Date”), Mondelēz, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may request that each Lender extend the Termination Date for such Lender’s Commitment for an additional one-year period.

(ii)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request and each Lender shall then, in its sole discretion, notify Mondelēz and the Administrative Agent in writing no later than 20 days prior to the Extension Date whether such Lender will consent to the extension (each such Lender consenting to the extension, an “Extending Lender”). The failure of any Lender to notify the Administrative Agent of its intent to consent to any extension shall be deemed a rejection by such Lender.

(iii)    Subject to satisfaction of the conditions in Section 3.03(a) and (b) as of the Extension Date, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall be extended for an additional one-year period; provided, however, that (A) no such extension shall be effective (1) unless the Required Lenders agree thereto and (2) as to any Lender that does not agree to such extension (any such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) and (B) Mondelēz may only request an extension of the Termination Date on the first two anniversaries of the Effective Date.

(iv)    To the extent that there are Non-Extending Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Extending Lenders, and each Extending Lender may, in its sole discretion, give written notice to Mondelēz and the Administrative Agent no later than 15 days prior to the Extension Date of the amount of the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders that it is willing to assume.

 

-24-


(v)    Mondelēz shall be permitted to replace any Lender that is a Non-Extending Lender with a replacement financial institution or other entity (each, a “New Lender”); provided that (A) the New Lender shall purchase, at par, all Advances and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (B) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 9.04(b) if any LIBO Rate Advance or Floating Rate Bid Advance owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (C) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to assign its Commitment and Advances to the applicable replacement Lender or Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.07 (provided that Mondelēz shall be obligated to pay the processing and recordation fee referred to therein), (D) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15(a), as the case may be and (E) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that Mondelēz, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

(vi)    If the Extending Lenders and the New Lenders are willing to commit amounts that, in an aggregate, exceed the amount of the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders, Mondelēz and the Administrative Agent shall allocate the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders among them.

(vii)    If any financial institution or other entity becomes a New Lender or any Extending Lender’s Commitment is increased pursuant to this Section 2.10(b), (x) Pro Rata Advances made on or after the applicable Extension Date shall be made in accordance with the pro rata provisions of Section 2.01 based on the respective Commitments in effect on and after the applicable Extension Date and (y) if, on the date of such joinder or increase, there are any Pro Rata Advances outstanding, such Pro Rata Advances shall on or prior to such date be prepaid from the proceeds of new Pro Rata Advances made hereunder (reflecting such additional Lender or increase), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Pro Rata Advances being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 9.04(b).

(viii)    In connection herewith, the Administrative Agent shall enter in the Register (A) the names of any New Lenders, (B) the respective allocations of any Extending Lenders and New Lenders effective as of each Extension Date and (C) the Termination Date applicable to each Lender.

 

-25-


SECTION 2.11    Optional Prepayments of Pro Rata Advances. Each Borrower may, in the case of any LIBO Rate Advance, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent or, in the case of any Base Rate Advance, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed prepayment, in each case stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Pro Rata Advances comprising part of the same Pro Rata Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of no less than $50,000,000 or the remaining balance if less than $50,000,000 and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a LIBO Rate Advance, such Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(b).

SECTION 2.12    Increased Costs.

(a)    Costs from Change in Law or Authorities. If, due to either (i) the introduction after the date hereof of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements to the extent such change is included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation, application or administration of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request promulgated after the date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBO Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.12 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.15 shall govern) or (ii) taxes referred to in Section 2.15(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi)), then the Borrower of the affected Advances shall within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Mondelēz, such Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

-26-


(b)    Reduction in Lender’s Rate of Return. In the event that, after the date hereof, the implementation of or any change in any law or regulation, or any guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or the interpretation, application or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirement (including, without limitation, a request or requirement which affects the manner in which any Lender or its parent company allocates capital resources to its Commitments, including its obligations hereunder) and as a result thereof, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder is reduced to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such circumstances, but reduced to the extent that Borrowings are outstanding from time to time, then in each such case, upon demand from time to time Mondelēz shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for such reduction in rate of return. A certificate of such Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Except as provided below, in determining any such amount or amounts each Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender shall take all reasonable actions to avoid the imposition of, or reduce the amounts of, such increased costs, provided that such actions, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and, to the extent possible, each Lender will calculate such increased costs based upon the capital requirements for its Advances and unused Commitment hereunder and not upon the average or general capital requirements imposed upon such Lender.

(c)    Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; Basel III. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case be deemed to be a change in law or regulation after the date hereof regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

SECTION 2.13    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make LIBO Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances or to fund or maintain LIBO Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances, (a) each LIBO Rate Advance or Floating Rate Bid Advances, as the case may be, of such Lender will automatically, upon such demand, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.04(a)(i), as the case may be, and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBO Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances or to Convert Base Rate Advances into LIBO Rate Advances shall be suspended, in each case, until the Administrative Agent shall notify Mondelēz and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, in each case, subject to Section 9.04(b) hereof; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make LIBO Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances or to continue to fund or maintain LIBO Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances, as the case may be, and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

-27-


SECTION 2.14    Payments and Computations.

(a)    Time and Distribution of Payments. Mondelēz and each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, without set-off or counterclaim, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Facility Fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.12, 2.15 or 9.04(b)) to the Lenders for the accounts of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. From and after the effective date of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 9.07, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b)    Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest based on the Administrative Agent’s prime rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. All computations of interest based on the LIBO Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate and of Facility Fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent and all computations of interest pursuant to Section 2.05 shall be made by the applicable Lender, on the basis of a year of 360 days. All computations of interest in respect of Competitive Bid Advances shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days in the case of Floating Rate Bid Advances and on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days in the case of Fixed Rate Bid Advances, as specified in the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Notice. Computations of interest or Facility Fees shall in each case be made for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Facility Fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Section 2.05 by a Lender), of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)    Payment Due Dates. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or Facility Fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of LIBO Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(d)    Presumption of Borrower Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

 

-28-


SECTION 2.15    Taxes.

(a)    Any and all payments by each Borrower and Mondelēz hereunder or under any Note shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest, additions to taxes and expenses) with respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes and branch profits taxes imposed on it, in each case, as a result of such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) being organized under the laws of the taxing jurisdiction, (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes and branch profits taxes imposed on it, in each case, as a result of such Lender having its Applicable Lending Office in the taxing jurisdiction, (iii) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, franchise taxes and branch profits taxes imposed on it, and any tax imposed by means of withholding, in each case, to the extent such tax is imposed solely as a result of a present or former connection (other than a connection arising from such Lender or the Administrative Agent having executed, delivered, enforced, become a party to, performed its obligations, received payments, received or perfected a security interest under, and/or engaged in any other transaction pursuant to this Agreement or a Note) between the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and the taxing jurisdiction, (iv) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA, (v) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, any Home Jurisdiction U.S. Withholding Tax to the extent that such tax is imposed with respect to any payments pursuant to any law in effect at the time such Lender becomes a party hereto (or changes its Applicable Lending Office), except (A) to the extent of the additional amounts in respect of such taxes under this Section 2.15 to which such Lender’s assignor (if any) or such Lender’s prior Applicable Lending Office (if any) was entitled, immediately prior to such assignment or change in its Applicable Lending Office or (B) if such Lender becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance upon the demand of Mondelēz, and (vi) taxes attributable to a Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s (as applicable) failure to comply with Sections 2.15(e), (f), and (g) (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments by each Borrower and Mondelēz hereunder or under any Note, other than taxes referred to in this Section 2.15(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), or (vi), are referred to herein as “Taxes”). If any applicable withholding agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by Mondelēz or the applicable Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) have been made, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent where the Administrative Agent receives payments for its own account) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

-29-


(b)    In addition, each Borrower or Mondelēz shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, irrecoverable value-added tax or similar levies (other than Taxes, or taxes referred to in Section 2.15(a)(i) to (v)) that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or a Note other than any such taxes imposed by reason of an Assignment and Acceptance (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c)    Each Borrower and Mondelēz shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) payable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to taxes and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), makes written demand therefor.

(d)    As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, each Borrower and Mondelēz shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)    Each Lender, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, shall provide each of the Administrative Agent, Mondelēz and each applicable Borrower with any form or certificate that is required by any U.S. federal taxing authority to certify such Lender’s entitlement to any applicable exemption from or reduction in, Home Jurisdiction U.S. Withholding Tax in respect of any payments hereunder or under any Note (including, if applicable, two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service or to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.07(e)), two original Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by any applicable certification documents from each beneficial owner) and any other documentation reasonably requested by Mondelēz, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, each such Lender shall provide additional forms or certificates (i) to the extent a form or certificate previously provided has become inaccurate or invalid or has otherwise ceased to be effective or (ii) as requested in writing by Mondelēz, the Administrative Agent or such Borrower or, if such Lender no longer qualifies for the applicable exemption from or reduction in, Home Jurisdiction U.S. Withholding Tax, promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Mondelēz or such Borrower of its inability to do so. Unless such Borrower, Mondelēz and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents from each Lender satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder or under any Note are not subject to Home Jurisdiction U.S. Withholding Taxes or are subject to Home Jurisdiction U.S. Withholding Taxes at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, such Borrower, Mondelēz or the Administrative Agent shall withhold such Home Jurisdiction U.S. Withholding Taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for such Lender and such Borrower or Mondelēz shall pay additional amounts to the extent required by paragraph (a) of this Section 2.15 (subject to the exceptions contained in this Section 2.15).

(f)    If a payment made to a Lender hereunder or under any Note would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall provide each of the Administrative Agent, Mondelēz and each applicable Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, Mondelēz or the applicable Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, Mondelēz or the applicable Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent, Mondelēz or the applicable Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Thereafter, each such Lender shall provide additional documentation (i) to the extent documentation previously provided has become inaccurate or invalid or has otherwise ceased to be effective or (ii) as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, Mondelēz or the applicable Borrower. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g)    In the event that a Designated Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary of Mondelēz, each Lender shall promptly complete and deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or, at their request, to the applicable taxing authority, so long as such Lender is legally eligible to do so, any certificate or form reasonably requested in writing by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent and required by applicable law in order to secure any applicable exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of the applicable Home Jurisdiction Non-U.S. Withholding Taxes for which such Borrower is required to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15.

(h)    Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to select or change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a selection or change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender be otherwise materially economically disadvantageous to such Lender.

(i)    From and after the Effective Date, solely for purposes of FATCA, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to treat, the Agreement and all advances made hereunder (including any Loans made under this Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement) as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(j)    Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to a Borrower and Mondelēz and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (e), (f) or (g) of this Section 2.15.

 

-31-


(k)    If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, obtains a refund of any Tax for which payment has been made pursuant to this Section 2.15, or, in lieu of obtaining such refund, such Lender or the Administrative Agent applies the amount that would otherwise have been refunded as a credit against payment of a liability in respect of taxes, which refund or credit in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (and without any obligation to disclose its tax records) is allocable to such payment made under this Section 2.15, the amount of such refund or credit (together with any interest received thereon and reduced by reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in obtaining such refund or credit and by any applicable taxes) promptly shall be paid to the applicable Borrower to the extent payment has been made in full by such Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15.

SECTION 2.16    Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Pro Rata Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.15 or 9.04(b) or (c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Pro Rata Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Pro Rata Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.17    Evidence of Debt.

(a)    Lender Records; Pro Rata Notes. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Pro Rata Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Pro Rata Advances. Each Borrower shall, upon notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a Pro Rata Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Pro Rata Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Pro Rata Note payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns) in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender.

 

-32-


(b)    Record of Borrowings, Payables and Payments. The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded as follows:

(i)    the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto;

(ii)    the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it;

(iii)    the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and the Termination Date applicable thereto; and

(iv)    the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c)    Evidence of Payment Obligations. Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.17(b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.17(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.18    Commitment Increases.

(a)    Mondelēz may from time to time (but not more than three times in any calendar year), by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), executed by Mondelēz and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section 2.18 being called an “Augmenting Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause new Commitments to be extended by the Augmenting Lenders or cause the existing Commitments of the Augmenting Lenders to be increased, as the case may be (the aggregate amount of such increase for all Augmenting Lenders on any single occasion being referred to as a “Commitment Increase”), in an amount for each Augmenting Lender set forth in such notice; provided that (i) the amount of each Commitment Increase shall be not less than $25,000,000, except to the extent necessary to utilize the remaining unused amount of increase permitted under this Section 2.18(a), and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Commitment Increases shall not exceed $500,000,000; provided further that, each Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to participate or decline to participate in any Commitment Increase.    Each Augmenting Lender (if not then a Lender) shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall not be subject to the approval of any other Lenders, and Mondelēz and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment of such Augmenting Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder (such documentation in respect of any Commitment Increase together with the notice of such Commitment Increase being referred to collectively as the “Commitment Increase Amendment” in respect of such Commitment Increase). The Commitment Increase Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18.

 

-33-


(b)    Upon each Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section 2.18, if, on the date of such Commitment Increase, there are any Pro Rata Advances outstanding, such Pro Rata Advances shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of new Pro Rata Advances made hereunder (reflecting such Commitment Increase), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Pro Rata Advances being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 9.04(b). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(c)    Commitment Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall become effective on the date specified in the notice delivered by Mondelēz pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a) above or on such other date as shall be agreed upon by Mondelēz, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Augmenting Lenders.

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in any Commitment of any Lender) or addition of an Augmenting Lender shall become effective under this Section 2.18 unless on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 shall be satisfied as of such date (as though the effectiveness of such increase were a Borrowing) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of Mondelēz to that effect dated such date.

SECTION 2.19    Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for general corporate purposes of Mondelēz and its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.20    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply:

(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a); and

(b)    the Commitment and Advances of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01); provided that any amendment, waiver or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 

-34-


In the event that each of the Administrative Agent and Mondelēz agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Pro Rata Advances of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Pro Rata Advances in accordance with its pro rata portion of the total Commitments and clauses (a) and (b) above shall cease to apply.

ARTICLE VII

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 7.01    Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by Mondelēz or any Borrower as required by the terms of this Agreement or at the request of Mondelēz or such Borrower, and any notice provided pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(iv). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

 

-45-


SECTION 7.02    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a)    may treat the Lender that made any Advance as the holder of the Debt resulting therefrom until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by such Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 9.07;

(b)    may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Mondelēz or any Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts;

(c)    makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement by Mondelēz or any Borrower;

(d)    shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of Mondelēz or any Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of Mondelēz or such Borrower other than items or payments expressly required to be delivered or made to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

(e)    shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and

(f)    shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram, telex, registered mail or, for the purposes of Section 2.02(a) or 2.07(b), email) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 7.03    The Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment and the Advances made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, Mondelēz, any Borrower, any of their respective Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Mondelēz, any Borrower or any such Subsidiary, all as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

-46-


SECTION 7.04    Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Bookrunner or Joint Lead Arranger, or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent any Joint Bookrunner or Joint Lead Arranger, or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.05    Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Mondelēz or the Borrowers), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Pro Rata Advances then owing to each of them (or if no Pro Rata Advances are at the time outstanding, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, in each case, to the extent relating to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Mondelēz or the Borrowers. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or a third party.

SECTION 7.06    Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Mondelēz and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (with the consent of Mondelēz so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (with the consent of Mondelēz so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be (a) a Lender and (b) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that should the Administrative Agent for any reason not appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which it is under no obligation to do, then the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties referred to in this Section 7.06 shall be vested in the Required Lenders until a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.07    Administrative Agent, Joint Bookrunners, Joint Lead Arrangers and Co-Syndication Agents. (i) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. has been designated as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, (ii) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated have been designated as Joint Bookrunners under this Agreement, (iii) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated have been designated as Joint Lead Arrangers under this Agreement and (iv) Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. have been designated as Co-Syndication Agents under this Agreement, but the use of the aforementioned titles does not impose on any of them any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender.

SECTION 7.08    Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.15(a) or (c), each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any Note against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 7.08. The agreements in this Section 7.08 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

ARTICLE VIII

Guaranty

SECTION 8.01    Guaranty. Mondelēz hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (the undertaking of Mondelēz contained in this Article VIII being the “Guaranty”) the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of each other Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the “Obligations”), and any and all expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in enforcing any rights under the Guaranty.

SECTION 8.02    Guaranty Absolute. Mondelēz guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto. The liability of Mondelēz under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a)    any lack of validity, enforceability or genuineness of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement;

(c)    any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;

(d)    any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a guaranteed Obligation; or

(e)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Borrower or Mondelēz.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 8.03    Waivers.

(a)    Mondelēz hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against a Borrower or any other Person or any collateral.

 

-49-


(b)    Mondelēz hereby irrevocably subordinates any claims or other rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Borrower that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of Mondelēz’s obligations under this Guaranty or this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against such Borrower or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from such Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, in each case to the claims and rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of the cash payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty relating to such Borrower (the “Payment in Full”) and Mondelēz agrees not to enforce any such claim for payment against any such Borrower until the Payment in Full has occurred. If any amount shall be paid to Mondelēz in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the Payment in Full and the Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and this Guaranty, or to be held as collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. Mondelēz acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and this Guaranty and that the agreements set forth in this Section 8.03(b) are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.03(b), Mondelēz shall be permitted to charge, and any Borrower shall be permitted to pay, a guaranty fee in connection with the entry by Mondelēz into this Guaranty, as may be agreed by Mondelēz and such Borrower.

SECTION 8.04    Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations (including any and all Obligations which remain outstanding after the Termination Date) and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (b) be binding upon Mondelēz, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.

Each Borrower and Mondelēz jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each Lender and each of their respective affiliates, control persons, directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party, in each case in connection with or arising out of, or in connection with the preparation for or defense of, any investigation, litigation, or proceeding (i) related to this Agreement or any of the other documents delivered hereunder, the Advances or any transaction or proposed transaction (whether or not consummated) in which any proceeds of any Borrowing are applied or proposed to be applied, directly or indirectly, by any Borrower, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party to such transaction, or (ii) related to any Borrower’s or Mondelēz’s consummation of any transaction or proposed transaction contemplated hereby (whether or not consummated) or entering into this Agreement, or to any actions or omissions of any Borrower or Mondelēz, any of their respective Subsidiaries or affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection therewith, in each case whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Mondelēz or any Borrower or any other Person; provided, however, that neither any Borrower nor Mondelēz shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party from or against any portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities or expenses that is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

SECTION 9.05    Right of Set-Off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.02 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.02, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time after providing written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intention to do so, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any of its affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Mondelēz or any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of any Borrower or Mondelēz now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender shall promptly notify the appropriate Borrower or Mondelēz, as the case may be, after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and its affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its affiliates may have.

 

-54-


SECTION 9.06    Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Mondelēz, each of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither any Borrower nor Mondelēz shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.

SECTION 9.07    Assignments and Participations.

(a)    Assignment of Lender Obligations. Each Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Pro Rata Advances owing to it), subject to the following:

(i)    each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than, except in the case of an assignment made pursuant to Section 9.07(h), any Competitive Bid Advances owing to such Lender or any Competitive Bid Notes held by it);

(ii)    the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event, other than with respect to assignments to other Lenders, or affiliates of Lenders, or assignment of the entire Commitment amount held by such Lender or the entire amount of Pro Rata Advances owing to such Lender, be less than $10,000,000, subject in each case to reduction at the sole discretion of Mondelēz, and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000;

(iii)    each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;

(iv)    each such assignment shall require the prior written consent of (x) the Administrative Agent, and (y) unless an Event of Default under Sections 6.01(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing, Mondelēz (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such consents by Mondelēz shall be deemed given if no objection is received by the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent from Mondelēz within twenty (20) Business Days after written notice of such proposed assignment has been delivered to Mondelēz); provided, that no consent of the Administrative Agent or Mondelēz shall be required for an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of a Lender; and

(v)    the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless such assignment is made to an affiliate of the transferring Lender) provided, that, if such assignment is made pursuant to Section 9.07(h), Mondelēz shall pay or cause to be paid such $3,500 fee.

 

-55-


Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than those provided under Section 9.04 and, with respect to the period during which it is a Lender, Sections 2.12 and 2.15) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto), other than Section 9.12.

(b)    Assignment and Acceptance. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or Mondelēz or the performance or observance by any Borrower or Mondelēz of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee represents that (A) the source of any funds it is using to acquire the assigning Lender’s interest or to make any Advance is not and will not be plan assets as defined under the regulations of the Department of Labor of any Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or (B) the assignment or Advance is not and will not be a non-exempt prohibited transaction as defined in Section 406 of ERISA; (vii) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (viii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c)    Agent’s Acceptance. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Pro Rata Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to Mondelēz.

 

-56-


(d)    Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal and interest amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Mondelēz, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Mondelēz, any Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)    Sale of Participation. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it), subject to the following:

(i)    such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to Mondelēz hereunder) shall remain unchanged,

(ii)    such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,

(iii)    Mondelēz, the other Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,

(iv)    each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.15 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections, including the requirements to provide forms and/or certificates pursuant to Section 2.15(e), (f) or (g)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section,

(v)    no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower or Mondelēz therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, and

(vi)    a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 and 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with Mondelēz or the relevant Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

-57-


Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the relevant Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal and interest amounts of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Advances or its other Obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Advance or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or, if different, under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code.

(f)    Disclosure of Information. Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to Mondelēz or any Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of Mondelēz or any Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to Mondelēz or any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries received by it from such Lender.

(g)    Regulation A Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank or central bank performing similar functions in accordance with applicable law.

(h)    Replacement of Lenders. In the event that (i) any Lender shall have delivered a notice pursuant to Section 2.13, (ii) any Borrower shall be required to make additional payments to or for the account of any Lender under Section 2.12 or 2.15, (iii) any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) shall withhold its consent to any amendment that requires the consent of all the Lenders and that has been consented to by the Required Lenders or (iv) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, Mondelēz shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) to terminate the Commitment of such Lender or (B) to require such Lender to transfer and assign at par and without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.07) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more other financial institutions acceptable to Mondelēz and approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which shall assume such obligations; provided, that (x) in the case of any replacement of a Non-Consenting Lender, each assignee shall have consented to the relevant amendment, (y) no such termination or assignment shall conflict with any law or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (z) the Borrowers or the assignee (or assignees), as the case may be, shall pay to each affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such termination or assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Advances made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder. Mondelēz will not have the right to terminate the commitment of any Lender, or to require any Lender to assign its rights and interests hereunder, if, prior to such termination or assignment, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Mondelēz to require such termination or assignment cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that, if Mondelēz elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 9.07, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Advances) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

 

-58-


SECTION 9.08    Designated Subsidiaries.

(a)    Designation. Mondelēz may at any time, and from time to time after the Effective Date, by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Designation Agreement duly executed by Mondelēz and the respective Subsidiary and substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, designate such Subsidiary as a “Designated Subsidiary” for purposes of this Agreement and such Subsidiary shall thereupon become a “Designated Subsidiary” for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each such designation by Mondelēz and the identity of the respective Subsidiary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be required to make Advances to a Designated Subsidiary in the event that the making of such Advances would or could reasonably be expected to breach, violate or otherwise be inconsistent with any internal policy (other than with respect to Designated Subsidiaries formed under the laws of any nation that is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development as of the date hereof), law or regulation to which such Lender is, or would be upon the making of such Advance, subject. In addition, each Lender shall have the right to make any Advances to any Designated Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary of Mondelēz through an affiliate or non-U.S. branch of such Lender designated by such Lender at its sole option; provided such designation and Advance does not, in and of itself, subject the Borrowers to greater costs pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15 than would have been payable if such Lender made such Advance directly.

(b)    Termination. Upon the payment and performance in full of all of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement of any Designated Subsidiary then, so long as at the time no Notice of Pro Rata Borrowing or Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing in respect of such Designated Subsidiary is outstanding, such Subsidiary’s status as a “Designated Subsidiary” shall terminate upon notice to such effect from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give promptly, upon and only upon its receipt of a request therefor from Mondelēz). Thereafter, the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to make any Advance hereunder to such former Designated Subsidiary until such time as it has been redesignated a Designated Subsidiary by Mondelēz pursuant to Section 9.08(a).

SECTION 9.09    Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of New York without regard to choice of law doctrines.

 

-59-


SECTION 9.10    Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or email shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.11    Jurisdiction, Etc.

(a)    Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each of Mondelēz and each Borrower hereby agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding brought in any such court may be made upon the process agent appointed pursuant to Section 9.11(b) (the “Process Agent”) and each Designated Subsidiary hereby irrevocably appoints the Process Agent its authorized agent to accept such service of process, and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Each of Mondelēz and each Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding in any such court by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Mondelēz or such Borrower, as applicable, at its address specified pursuant to Section 9.02. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

(b)    Appointment of Process Agent. Mondelēz agrees to appoint a Process Agent from the Effective Date through the repayment in full of all Obligations hereunder (i) to receive on behalf of Mondelēz, each Borrower and each Designated Subsidiary and their respective property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding in any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City arising out of or relating to this Agreement and (ii) to forward forthwith to Mondelēz, each Borrower and each Designated Subsidiary at their respective addresses copies of any summons, complaint and other process which such Process Agent receives in connection with its appointment. Mondelēz will give the Administrative Agent prompt notice of such Process Agent’s address.

(c)    Waivers.

(i)    Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in any New York state or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

-60-


(ii)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Borrowers, Mondelēz and the Lenders shall not assert and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or any of their respective affiliates, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to this Agreement or any related document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each of the parties hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. For the avoidance of doubt, the waiver of claims for such damages against each Borrower and Mondelēz shall not limit the indemnity obligations set forth in Section 9.04(c).

(iii)    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 9.11(C) AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE ADVANCES MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

 

-61-


SECTION 9.12    Confidentiality. None of the Agents nor any Lender shall disclose any confidential information relating to Mondelēz or any Borrower to any other Person without the consent of Mondelēz, other than (a) to such Agent’s or such Lender’s affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, insurers and re-insurers, rating agencies, market data collectors, credit insurance providers, any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement and, as contemplated by Section 9.07(f), to actual or prospective assignees and participants, and then, in each such case, only on a confidential basis; provided, however, that such actual or prospective assignee or participant shall have been made aware of this Section 9.12 and shall have agreed to be bound by its provisions as if it were a party to this Agreement, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (c) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking or other financial institutions, including in connection with the creation of security interests as contemplated by Section 9.07(g) and (d) in connection with enforcing or administering this Agreement.

SECTION 9.13    No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and any Agent or any Lender, on the other hand, is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether any Agent or any Lender has advised or is advising Mondelēz on other matters (it being understood and agreed that nothing in this provision will relieve any Agent or any Lender of any advisory or fiduciary responsibilities it may have in connection with other transactions) and (b) each Agent and each Lender may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Agents and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 9.14    Integration. This Agreement and the Notes represent the agreement of Mondelēz, the other Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent, Mondelēz, the other Borrowers or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the Notes other than the matters referred to in Sections 2.09(b) and 9.04(a), the Fee Letter and any other fee letters entered into among Mondelēz and the Joint Bookrunners, if any, and except for any confidentiality agreements entered into by Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement effected hereby will not constitute a novation of the obligations of Mondelēz or the other Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement, which shall (except as paid or discharged in connection with the effectiveness hereof) continue as obligations of Mondelēz or the other Borrowers hereunder.

 

-62-


SECTION 9.15    USA Patriot Act Notice. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.16    Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under this Agreement or any other documents or agreements relating to the Loans made hereunder, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other documents or agreements relating to the Loans made hereunder; and

(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
