ARTICLE 3

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

          Section 3.01 General Principles.

     (a) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Article 3 shall not apply unless the
Distribution takes place. Cadbury and DPSG shall take any and all action as shall be necessary and
appropriate to further the provisions of Article 3.

     (b) Each DPSG Business Employee shall be treated for the purposes of the Cadbury Employee
Share Schemes as having ceased to be an employee of Cadbury at the Distribution Date.

     (c) Where an award granted under the DPSG Legacy Equity Plans replaces an award under the
Cadbury Employee Share Schemes in accordance with the provisions of this Article 3, such award
shall be on terms which are in all material respects identical to the terms of the award which it
replaces having regard to the fact that those terms are the terms which are applicable to a good
leaver under the relevant Cadbury Employee Share Scheme but subject to any necessary changes to
take into account that (i) the award relates to DPSG Common Stock, (ii) the DPSG Legacy Equity Plan
is administered by DPSG and (iii) the award is not subject to any performance conditions.

     Section 3.02 Share Option Plans. Each unexercised option of a DPSG Business Employee
on the Distribution Date shall be converted in accordance with the rules of the applicable Share
Option Plan into an option over Cadbury plc Ordinary Shares. The number of Cadbury plc Ordinary
Shares shall be determined based on the Exchange Ratio. The aggregate exercise price of the
substitute option shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price of the option that it replaces
except (i) that it shall be in US dollars and (ii) for any adjustments that the Cadbury Committee
determines to be appropriate if the Exchange Ratio does not result in a whole number of Cadbury plc
Ordinary Shares. Such substituted options shall, in the sole discretion of the Cadbury Committee,
preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the original options for which they are substituted and
the ratio in the original option of the exercise price to the fair market value of the stock by
adjusting the number of shares purchasable and the exercise price, based on the a comparison of the
Cadbury Final Price and the Cadbury Initial Price. Such substitute options shall:

          (i) if they represent options granted before May 2005, be fully vested and exercisable for a
period of 12 months after the Distribution Date; and

          (ii) if they represent options granted after April 2005, be fully vested and exercisable for a
period of 12 months starting on the third anniversary of the grant date of the options that they
represent.

 

 

          Section 3.03 Long Term Incentive Plan.

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

     (b) Basic Awards.

     (i) The performance conditions applying to Basic Awards (as defined in the rules of the
relevant LTIP) of each DPSG Business Employee participating in the LTIPs shall be measured
using the fair value methodology basis described in paragraph 16 of Part I of the Circular
to determine the number of Cadbury Ordinary Shares that shall (subject to the following
provisions) become payable under those awards at the end of the relevant performance
periods.

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

          Section 3.04 Bonus Share Retention Plan.

     (a) Each Matching Award (as defined in the rules of the BSRP) consists of a service-related
element and a performance-related element. The performance conditions applying to the
performance-related element of the Matching Award of each DPSG Business Employee shall be measured
using the fair value methodology basis described in paragraph 16 of Part I of the Circular to
determine the number of Cadbury Ordinary Shares that shall (subject to the following provisions)
become due under that performance-related element of those awards at the end of the relevant
performance period.

     (b) The number of Cadbury Ordinary Shares subject to each Matching Award held by each DPSG
Business Employee, (being the aggregate of the Cadbury Ordinary Shares subject to the
service-related element and the Cadbury Ordinary Shares subject to the performance-related element
as determined in accordance with Section 3.04(a), shall then be reduced on a pro-rated basis having
regard to the proportion of the relevant performance period applicable to that Matching Award
completed prior to the Distribution Date and converted based on the Exchange Ratio into an award
over DPSG Common Stock to be granted by DPSG under the applicable DPSG Legacy Equity Plan. The
DPSG Common Stock shall be released to the DPSG Business

 

 

Employee within sixty (60) days following the end of the original performance period
applicable to the relevant Matching Award.

     (c) Each Basic Award held by a DPSG Business Employee shall be converted based on the Exchange
Ratio into an award over DPSG Common Stock to be granted by DPSG under the applicable DPSG Legacy
Equity Plan. The DPSG Common Stock shall be released to the DPSG Business Employee within sixty
(60) days following the end of the original performance period applicable to the Matching Award
that is related to that Basic Award.

     Section 3.05 International Share Award Plan.

     (a) Awards with Performance Conditions. This Section 3.05(a) shall apply to
Conditional Awards (as each is defined in the rules of the ISAP) which are subject to performance
conditions.

     (i) The performance conditions applicable to the Conditional Awards shall be measured
using the fair value methodology basis described in paragraph 16 of Part I of the Circular
to determine the number of Cadbury Ordinary Shares that shall (subject to the following
provisions) become payable under those awards at the end of the relevant performance period.

     (ii) The number of Cadbury Ordinary Shares subject to each award held by a DPSG
Business Employee, as determined in accordance with Section 3.05(b), shall then be reduced
on a pro-rated basis having regard to the proportion of the relevant performance period
applicable to that award completed prior to the Distribution Date and converted based on the
Exchange Ratio into an award over DPSG Common Stock to be granted by DPSG under the
applicable DPSG Legacy Equity Plan. The DPSG Common Stock shall be distributed to the DPSG
Business Employee within sixty (60) days following the end of the original performance
period applicable to the relevant Conditional Award.

     (b) Awards without Performance Conditions. This Section 3.05(b) shall apply to
Conditional Awards (as each is defined in the rules of the ISAP) which are not subject to
performance conditions. Each award held by a DPSG Business Employee shall be converted based on
the Exchange Ratio into an award over DPSG Common Stock to be granted by DPSG under the applicable
DPSG Legacy Equity Plan. The DPSG Common Stock shall be released to the DPSG Business Employee
within sixty (60) days following the date on which the Conditional Award would otherwise have
vested under the ISAP but for the Distribution.

     (c) Restricted Awards. All restrictions applicable to the Cadbury Ordinary Shares
subject to the Restricted Awards (as defined in the rules of the ISAP) of each DPSG Business
Employee shall lapse on the date on which the Scheme is sanctioned by the Court and such shares
shall be subject to the terms of the Scheme.

          Section 3.06 Employee Share Option Plans. Each unexercised option of a DPSG Business
Employee on the Distribution Date shall be converted in accordance with the rules of the applicable
Share Option Plan into an option over Cadbury plc Ordinary Shares. The number of Cadbury plc
Ordinary Shares shall be determined based on the Exchange Ratio. The

 

 

aggregate exercise price of the substitute option shall be the same as the aggregate exercise
price of the option that it replaces except (i) that it shall be in US dollars and (ii) for any
adjustments that the Cadbury Committee determines to be appropriate if the Exchange Ratio does not
result in a whole number of Cadbury plc Ordinary Shares. Such substituted options shall, in the
sole discretion of the Cadbury Committee, preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the original
options for which they are substituted and the ratio in the original option of the exercise price
to the fair market value of the stock by adjusting the number of shares purchasable and the
exercise price, based on a comparison of the Cadbury Final Price and the Cadbury Initial Price.
Such substitute options shall be exercisable in accordance with the rules of the relevant Employee
Share Option Plan.

          Section 3.07 Responsibility for Tax Withholding, Reporting, and Social Insurance
Contributions. Cadbury and DPSG agree that, unless prohibited by applicable law, DPSG shall be
responsible for all tax withholding and reporting obligations and shall pay the employer’s share of
any social insurance tax obligations that arise in connection with the vesting, exercise, transfer
or other settlement of the adjusted awards held by DPSG Business Employees. Cadbury and DPSG
further agree that, unless prohibited by applicable law, Cadbury shall be responsible for all tax
withholding and reporting obligations and shall pay the employer’s share of any social insurance
tax obligations that arise in connection with the vesting, exercise, transfer or other settlement
of the equity awards held by Cadbury Business Employees, Former Cadbury Business Employees and
Former DPSG Business Employees. Cadbury and DPSG agree to enter into any necessary agreements
regarding the subject matter of this Section 3.07 to enable them to fulfill their respective
obligations hereunder, including but not limited to compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations regarding the reporting, withholding or remitting of income and social insurance taxes.

          Section 3.08 No Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, the Distribution shall
not constitute a “change of ownership” or a “change in control” for purposes of Cadbury equity
awards which are outstanding as of the Distribution Date.

          Section 3.09 Compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement, if any provision of this Article 3 contravenes any regulations or guidance promulgated
under Code Section 409A or could cause the awards subject to this Article 3 to be subject to
additional taxes, accelerated taxation, interest or penalties under Code Section 409A, the parties
will make reasonable commercial efforts to agree how to modify this Article 3: (i) to comply with,
or avoid being subject to, Code Section 409A, or to avoid the imposition of any taxes, accelerated
taxation, interest or penalties under Code Section 409A, and (ii) to maintain, to the maximum
extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without contravening the
provisions of Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE 5

U.S. PENSION PLAN SPIN-OFF

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

          Section 5.02 Determination and Transfer of Initial Transfer Amount. On or before the
Distribution Date, with the assistance of the Cadbury Actuary, Cadbury shall establish and
communicate to DPSG the amount equal to 90% of the estimated asset transfer amount calculated as of
January 1, 2008 in accordance with IRS Code Section 414(l) but based on January 1, 2007 census data
and November 30, 2007 trust assets as attributable to benefits accrued by DPSG Pension
Beneficiaries under the Cadbury Pension Plan as of the Pension Measurement Date, adjusted for
contributions, distributions, trust gains and losses, payments and other appropriate items
occurring between the Pension Measurement Date and the Initial Transfer Date, all as estimated in
good faith by Cadbury (the “Initial Transfer Amount”).

 

 

Following the determination of the Initial Transfer Amount by Cadbury, Cadbury shall cause to
be transferred from the trust under the Cadbury Pension Plan to the trust under the DPSG Pension
Plan assets having an aggregate Value (as defined below) equal to the Initial Transfer Amount.
Such assets shall be in the form of cash, securities and other property, determined in accordance
with the provisions below.

          Section 5.03 Determination of the Final Pension Transfer Amount.

     (a) Calculation of the Cadbury Actuary. Following the Distribution Date, the Cadbury
Actuary shall determine the Final Pension Transfer Amount, which shall be equal to the amount
required to be transferred from the Cadbury Pension Plan to the DPSG Pension Plan in respect of the
assumption by the DPSG Pension Plan of the benefit obligations of the Cadbury Pension Plan of
benefits accrued by the DPSG Pension Beneficiaries as of the Pension Measurement Date, as
determined in accordance with IRS Code Section 414(l) and the regulations thereunder and the
actuarial assumptions and methods set forth in Schedule 6.03 hereof, as appropriately adjusted to
reflect the following amounts arising after the Pension Measurement Date and before the True-Up
Adjustment: (A) any distributions and contributions made in respect of the DPSG Pension
Beneficiaries, (B) administrative expenses of the Cadbury Pension Plan reasonably allocable to the
DPSG Pension Beneficiaries, (C) earnings realized by the Cadbury Pension Plan allocable to the DPSG
Pension Beneficiaries, (D) the net gain or loss (realized and unrealized) of the Cadbury Pension
Plan allocable to the DPSG Pension Beneficiaries and (E) other appropriate items. Cadbury and DPSG
shall each be responsible for the funding of their respective pension plans. It is anticipated
that each pension plan will have underfunding under ERISA Section 4044. Each party shall be
responsible for funding such underfunding under their respective pension plan. Promptly upon
determination of the Final Pension Transfer Amount, Cadbury shall cause the Cadbury Actuary to
provide to DPSG a written statement of the Final Pension Transfer Amount, a summary of the
calculation of such amount (the “Pension Statement”) and a written statement that the sum of the
Initial Transfer Amount and the Final Pension Transfer Amount satisfies the requirements of IRS
Code Section 414(l).

     (b) Resolution of Differences. Cadbury shall provide DPSG with all information
reasonably necessary to review the calculation of the Final Pension Transfer Amount in all material
respects and to verify that such calculations have been performed in a manner consistent with the
terms of this Agreement. The determination of the Final Pension Transfer Amount by the Cadbury
Actuary shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes under this Agreement, unless DPSG
provides to Cadbury, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Pension Statement, a written
objection prepared by an enrolled actuary retained by DPSG setting forth in detail a reasonable
basis for the conclusion that the Final Pension Transfer Amount set forth in the Pension Statement
is understated by an amount in excess of 5%. Upon receipt of such objection, Cadbury and DPSG
shall make a good faith attempt to resolve their dispute as to the Final Pension Transfer Amount.
Should such dispute remain unresolved for more than thirty (30) days, Cadbury and DPSG shall
promptly select and appoint a third enrolled actuary who is mutually satisfactory to both Parties.
The third actuary shall recalculate the Final Pension Transfer Amount and if such recalculated
amount exceeds the Final Pension Transfer Amount set forth in the Pension Statement by more than
5%, then such recalculated amount shall serve as the Final Pension Transfer Amount for all purposes
under this Agreement. If such recalculated

 

 

amount does not exceed the Final Pension Transfer Amount set forth in the Pension Statement by
more than 5%, then for all purposes under this Agreement the Final Pension Transfer Amount shall be
the Final Pension Transfer Amount as set forth in the Pension Statement. The recalculation of such
third party actuary shall be completed within thirty (30) days of the retention of such third party
actuary and shall be conclusive as to any dispute with respect to the Final Pension Transfer
Amount, except as set forth in Section 5.05 below. The cost of such third party actuary shall be
divided equally between Cadbury and DPSG. Each Party shall be responsible for the cost of its own
actuary.

          Section 5.04 True-Up Adjustment. The following transfer shall be made promptly after
the date that the Final Pension Transfer Amount is determined as set forth above: (A) if the Final
Pension Transfer Amount exceeds the Initial Transfer Amount, Cadbury shall promptly cause to be
transferred from the Cadbury Pension Plan trust to the DPSG Pension Plan trust assets having a
Value equal to such excess and (B) if the Initial Transfer Amount exceeds the Final Pension
Transfer Amount, DPSG shall promptly cause to be transferred from the DPSG Pension Plan trust to
the Cadbury Pension Plan trust assets having a Value equal to such excess.

          Section 5.05 Form and Selection of Assets to be Transferred. The assets to be
transferred in the Initial Transfer and the True-Up Adjustment Assets will be transferred in-kind
or in cash pro rata from each investment manager under the transferring plan in a manner that
represents, as closely as commercially practical, a pro rata portion of each asset and position
held by the manager as of the date of such transfer, except that reasonable adjustments shall be
made where Cadbury determines such transfers cannot reasonably be made by the Cadbury Pension Plan
due to investment manager account minimums or where other considerations prevent such pro rata
transfers or render such pro rata transfers impractical. For purposes of the Agreement, the
"Value” of all pension assets shall be the value of such assets as determined in good faith by
Cadbury based on all relevant information known to Cadbury at the time of such determination,
including the most recent account statements or schedules of asset values provided to Cadbury by
any service providers maintaining or overseeing any such assets or any investment vehicles which
represent or hold the relevant plan assets. Cadbury shall select the assets to be transferred and
provide a schedule of such assets to DPSG 14 days prior to the transfer of such assets. DPSG shall
communicate to Cadbury any objection to the schedule of the assets to be transferred promptly, and
upon receipt by Cadbury of such objection, Cadbury and DPSG shall make a good faith attempt to
resolve their dispute as to the assets to be transferred within the period remaining prior to the
transfer of the assets. Should such dispute remain unresolved upon the asset transfer date, the
assets shall be transferred in accordance with the schedule provided by Cadbury. Any assets that
are liquidated prior to transfer shall be reduced by the asset liquidation expenses actually
incurred.

ARTICLE 6

U.S. 401(K) PLAN

          Section 6.01 General Principle. Effective on or before the Distribution Date, DPSG
shall establish and adopt a qualified employee cash or deferred arrangement under IRS Code Section
401(k) (the “DPSG 401(k) Plan”) intended to be qualified under IRS Code Section 401(a) and
containing provisions that will provide benefits for each DPSG Business

 

 

Employee and Former DPSG Employee (and each beneficiary and alternate payee of such person)
(the “DPSG DC Plan Beneficiaries”) identical to those in effect for the DPSG DC Plan Beneficiaries
as of the date of transfer of assets and liabilities with respect to such plan (as described
below). Before or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Distribution Date, the assets and
liabilities relating to the DPSG DC Plan Beneficiaries under the Cadbury 401(k) Plan and shall be
transferred to the DPSG 401(k) Plan. DPSG Business Employees shall not make or receive additional
contributions under the Cadbury 401(k) Plan after the effective date of the DPSG 401(k) Plan,
unless such DPSG Business Employee shall become employed by Cadbury or a Cadbury Subsidiary after
such date. A Cadbury Business Employee shall not participate in the DPSG 401(k) Plan after the
effective date of the DPSG 401(k) Plan, unless such Cadbury Business Employee shall become employed
by DPSG or a DPSG Subsidiary after such date.

          Section 6.02 Transfer of Accounts. Effective before or as soon as practical following
the Distribution Date, but in no event later than six months following the Distribution Date,
Cadbury shall cause to be transferred from trusts under the Cadbury 401(k) Plan to the trust under
the DPSG 401(k) Plan the aggregate amount that is credited to the accounts of the DPSG DC Plan
Beneficiaries (disregarding any participant loans from the plans) as of the date of transfer, but
not less than or more than permitted by law, as determined by Cadbury. The transfer shall be an
in-kind transfer, subject to the reasonable consent of the trustee of the DPSG 401(k) Plan and
shall include the transfer of the aggregate assets held in the accounts relating to each DPSG DC
Plan Beneficiary under the Cadbury 401(k) Plan and any participant loan notes held under such
plans. Any assets that are liquidated prior to transfer shall be reduced by the asset liquidation
expenses, such as commissions or early withdrawal penalties, actually incurred. Cadbury shall
cause the DPSG 401(k) Plan to allocate the portion of any forfeiture account under the Cadbury
401(k) Plan that relates to forfeiture by Former DPSG Employees consistent with Cadbury’s past

ARTICLE 7

U.S. WELFARE BENEFIT PLANS

          Section 7.01 General Principle. Except as provided below, on or about the
Distribution Date, liabilities relating to DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees shall
be transferred to newly established DPSG welfare benefit plans that shall contain the same benefit
provisions as in effect for DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees immediately prior to
such date, and DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees shall cease to participate in the
Cadbury welfare benefit plans. Welfare benefit plans include health, welfare, and wellness
benefits plans (including, medical, dental, prescription drug and vision benefits, life insurance,
accidental death and disability insurance, business travel accident insurance, disability (STD and
LTD), long term care, flexible spending accounts, severance, Employee Assistance Plan, and similar
types of plans). DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees shall not participate in
Cadbury welfare benefit plans following the effective date of the DPSG plans described in this
Section 7.01, unless they shall become employed by Cadbury after such date. Cadbury Business
Employees and Former Cadbury Employees shall not participate in any DPSG welfare benefit plans
following the effective date of such plans, unless they shall become employed by DPSG after such
date.

          Section 7.02 Establishment of DPSG Plans.

     (a) General Rule. DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees shall cease to
participate in the Cadbury welfare benefit plans on or about the Distribution Date.

     (b) Treatment of Claims Incurred. DPSG shall assume and shall be responsible for the
liability for payment of all covered claims (including medical, dental, life insurance and
long-term disability) and eligible expenses incurred by any DPSG Business Employee and
beneficiaries thereof under the Cadbury Welfare Plans and Cadbury Non-ERISA U.S. Benefit
Arrangements prior to the Distribution Date, and Cadbury shall not be responsible for any liability
with respect to any such claims or expenses.

     (c) Credit for Deductibles and Other Limits. With respect to each DPSG Business
Employee and Former DPSG Employee, and each covered dependent, beneficiary, or other related party
of such individual (the “DPSG Welfare Plan Participants”), the DPSG welfare benefit plans will give
credit in the year of the Distribution Date for any amount paid under the comparable type Cadbury
plan by such DPSG Welfare Plan Participant in the year of the Distribution Date toward deductibles,
out-of-pocket maximum, or other, similar limitations to the extent such amounts are taken into
account under the comparable type Cadbury plan. For purposes of any life-time maximum
out-of-pocket limit on expenses paid by a covered participant, the DPSG welfare plans will
recognize any expenses incurred by a DPSG Welfare Plan Participant prior to the Distribution to the
same extent such expenses would be recognized in respect of an active plan participant under the
comparable type Cadbury plan.

     (d) COBRA. Effective as of the date of cessation of participation in the Cadbury
welfare benefit plans by the DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees (as provided above),
DPSG shall assume and satisfy all requirements under COBRA with respect to

 

 

all DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees and their qualified beneficiaries,
including for individuals who are already receiving benefits as of such date under COBRA.

     (e) Disabled Persons. The Parties intend that any Employee who has, prior to the
Distribution Date, become eligible to receive any long-term disability benefits pursuant to any
third-party insurance policy applicable under any welfare benefit plan shall continue to be
eligible to receive such benefits in accordance with the terms of such plan and policy.

          Section 7.03 Insurance Contracts. To the extent any Cadbury welfare benefit plan is
funded through the purchase of an insurance contract or is subject to any stop loss contract,
Cadbury and DPSG will cooperate and use their reasonable commercial efforts to “clone” such
insurance contracts for DPSG and to maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for
both Cadbury and DPSG through the end of the term of the Transition Services Agreement. Neither
party shall be liable for failure to obtain such pricing discounts or other preferential terms for
DPSG. The cost of “cloning”, including any increases in premiums, charges or administrative fees
relating to DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees shall be the obligation of DPSG.
Each party shall be responsible for any additional premiums, charges or administrative fees that
such party may incur pursuant to this Section 7.03.

          Section 7.04 Third Party Vendors. Except as provided below, to the extent any Cadbury
welfare benefit plan is administered by a third-party vendor, Cadbury and DPSG will cooperate and
use their reasonable commercial efforts to “clone” any contract with such third-party vendor for
DPSG and to maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for both Cadbury and DPSG.
Neither party shall be liable for failure to obtain such pricing discounts or other preferential
terms for DPSG. The cost of “cloning”, including any increases in premiums, charges or
administrative fees relating to DPSG Business Employees and Former DPSG Employees shall be the
obligation of DPSG. Each party shall be responsible for any additional premiums, charges or
administrative fees that such party may incur pursuant to this Section 7.04.

Distribution.

ARTICLE 10

COMPENSATION MATTERS AND GENERAL BENEFIT AND EMPLOYEE
MATTERS

          Section 10.01 Restrictive Covenants in Employment and Other Agreements. To the
fullest extent permitted by the agreements and applicable law, Cadbury shall assign, or cause its
Affiliates to assign, to DPSG or one of its Affiliates as designated by DPSG all agreements
containing restrictive covenants (including but not limited to confidentiality and non-competition
provisions) between Cadbury (or a Cadbury Affiliate) and a DPSG Business Employee, with such
assignment to be effective no later than the Distribution Date. To the extent that assignment of
such agreements is not permitted, following the Distribution, DPSG and its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates shall be considered to be successors to Cadbury and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for
purposes of, and third-party beneficiaries with respect to, all agreements containing restrictive
covenants (including but not limited to confidentiality and non-competition provisions) between
Cadbury (or a Cadbury Subsidiary or Affiliate) and DPSG Business Employees and between Cadbury (or
a Cadbury Subsidiary or Affiliate) and Cadbury Employees whom DPSG reasonably determines have
substantial knowledge of the DPSG Business, such that each of Cadbury, DPSG and their respective
Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall all enjoy the rights and benefits under such agreements
(including, without limitation, rights and benefits as a third-party beneficiary), with respect to
such Party’s and its respective Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ business operations;
provided, however, that (a) in no event shall Cadbury be permitted to enforce the
restrictive covenant agreements against DPSG Business Employees for action taken in their capacity
as employees of DPSG or its Subsidiaries, and (b) in no event shall DPSG be permitted to enforce
the restrictive covenants agreements of Cadbury Business Employees for action taken in their
capacity as employees of Cadbury or its Subsidiaries.

          Section 10.02 Severance.

     (a) Effective as of the Distribution Date, DPSG may establish one or more severance plans and
policies with respect to DPSG Business Employees as DPSG deems appropriate in its discretion.
Cadbury shall have no liability or obligation under any Cadbury severance plan or policy with
respect to DPSG Business Employees who remain employed or whose employment terminates on or after
the Distribution Date.

     (b) Following the Distribution Date, DPSG shall assume and shall be responsible for
administering all payments and benefits under the applicable Cadbury severance policies or any
termination agreements with Former DPSG Employees whose employment has terminated prior to the
Distribution Date for an eligible reason under such policies or in accordance with such agreements.

     (c) It is not intended that any DPSG Business Employee will be eligible for termination or
severance payments or benefits from Cadbury or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as a

 

 

result of the transfer or change of employment from Cadbury to DPSG or their respective
Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event that any such
termination or severance payments or benefits become payable on account of such transfer, change or
the refusal of a DPSG Business Employee to accept employment with DPSG, DPSG shall indemnify
Cadbury, and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, for the amount of such termination or severance
payments or benefits.

          Section 10.03 Accrued Vacation Days Off. DPSG shall recognize and assume all
liability for all vacation, holiday, sick leave, flex days, personal days and Paid-Time Off,
including banked time accrued by DPSG Business Employees as of the Distribution Date and DPSG shall
credit each DPSG Business Employee with such accrual.

          Section 10.04 Leaves of Absence. DPSG will continue to apply the leave of absence
policies maintained by Cadbury to inactive DPSG Business Employees who are on an approved leave of
absence as of the Distribution Date. Leaves of absence taken by DPSG Business Employees prior to
the Distribution Date shall be deemed to have been taken as employees of DPSG.

          Section 10.05 Cadbury Obligations. DPSG and Cadbury plc agree that Cadbury plc shall
not, and shall cause Cadbury not to, take any actions that would materially and adversely impact
the ability of Cadbury to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement; provided that
Cadbury plc may at any time following the Distribution Date require Cadbury to assign to Cadbury
plc all of Cadbury’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in substitution for compliance by
Cadbury plc and Cadbury with the aforementioned obligation in this Section 10.05, and upon such
assignment, Cadbury plc shall assume all of Cadbury’s obligations under this Agreement.

          Section 10.06 Collective Bargaining Agreements. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, effective as of the close of business on the Distribution Date, DPSG shall assume, and
Cadbury shall have no further liability for, all collective bargaining agreements, collective
agreements, multiemployer plans, pension and welfare plans and arrangements, trade union or works
council agreements entered into with Cadbury, any union, works council, or other body representing
only DPSG Business Employees.

discrimination or human rights and unemployment compensation claims, asserted at any time against
Cadbury, or DPSG or their respective Affiliates by any DPSG Business Employee or Former DPSG
Employee (including any dependent or beneficiary of any such Employee) or any other person, to the
extent such actions or claims arise out of or relate to employment or the provision of services
(whether as an employee, contractor, consultant, or otherwise) to or with the DPSG Business. To
the extent that any legal action relates to a putative or certified class of plaintiffs, which
includes both Cadbury Business Employees (or Former Cadbury Employees) and DPSG Business Employees
(or Former DPSG Employees) and such action involves employment or benefit plan related claims,
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in responding to such legal action shall be
allocated among the Parties equitably in proportion to a reasonable assessment of the relative

(or Former DPSG Employees) included in or represented by the putative or certified plaintiff class.
The procedures contained in the indemnification and related litigation cooperation provisions of
the Separation Agreement shall apply with respect to each Party’s indemnification obligations under
this Section 12.03.

contrary, no provision of this Agreement shall require DPSG or any DPSG Subsidiary to pay or
reimburse to Cadbury or any Cadbury Affiliate any benefit-related cost item that DPSG or any DPSG
Subsidiary has previously paid or reimbursed to Cadbury or any Cadbury Affiliate.

 

 

          Section 12.05 Costs of Compliance with Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement or any other Distribution document, each Party shall pay its own expenses in
fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement.

Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

     (a) No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any

merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of
such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and
assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the

thereof.

          Section 13.05 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement
may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same
effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall

other party hereto. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof is intended to confer any
rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities hereunder upon any

 

 

Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
No Employee or other current or former employee of Cadbury or DPSG or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
of either (or his/her spouse, dependent or beneficiary), or any other person not a party to this
Agreement, shall be entitled to assert any claim hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the
provisions of this Agreement are not intended to, nor shall they confer upon any Person other than
the Parties hereto any right or expectation as to the adoption, amendment, maintenance,
continuation, operation or funding of any employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement.

          Section 13.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Distribution documents
constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral,
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Regardless of anything
else contained herein, the parties do not intend for this Agreement to amend any employee benefit
plans or arrangements.

          Section 13.07 Jurisdiction. Any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or based
on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby may be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or
any other New York State court sitting in New York County, and each of the Parties hereby consents
to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such
suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or
proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or
proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the
jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of
process on such Party as provided in Section 13.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on
such Party.

          Section 13.08 Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any
and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement
or the transactions hereby contemplated.

          Section 13.09 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement should be declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained in this Agreement shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby so long as the economic or legal substance of the
transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.
Upon such a declaration, the Parties shall modify this Agreement so as to effect the original
intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner so that the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

          Section 13.10 Survival. All covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this
Agreement shall survive the Distribution Date indefinitely, unless a specific survival or other

only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof.

          Section 13.12 Specific Performance. Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges and
agrees that damages for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement
would be inadequate and irreparable harm would occur. In recognition of this fact, each Party
agrees that, if there is a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any damages, the other
nonbreaching Party to this Agreement, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to seek and
obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary
or permanent injunction, attachment, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available to
obligate the breaching Party (i) to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) if the
breaching Party is unable, for whatever reason, to perform those obligations, to take any other
actions as are necessary, advisable or appropriate to give the other Party to this Agreement the
economic effect which comes as close as possible to the performance of those obligations
(including, but not limited to, transferring, or granting liens on, the assets of the breaching
Party to secure the performance by the breaching Party of those obligations).

          Section 13.13 Mutual Drafting. This Agreement shall be deemed to be the joint work
product of Cadbury and DPSG and any rule of construction that a document shall be interpreted or
construed against a drafter of such document shall not be applicable.

          Section 13.14 Operating Committee.

     (a) The parties shall use an operating committee (the “Operating Committee”) to implement the
terms of this Agreement. Each of Cadbury and DPSG shall appoint two employees to the Operating
Committee and designate one of such employees to be such party’s lead representative (each, a “Lead
Representative”) for the purpose of fielding queries from representatives of the relevant Group
concerning the implementation and ongoing operation of this Agreement. In addition, the Lead
Representatives shall have such other functions and responsibilities as may be determined by the
Operating Committee from time to time. The Operating Committee will oversee the implementation and
ongoing operation of this Agreement and shall attempt in good faith to resolve disputes between the
parties. Each of the parties shall have the right to (i) replace one or more of its Operating
Committee members at any time with employees or officers with comparable knowledge, expertise and
decision-making authority and (ii) designate an alternative Lead Representative.

     (b) The Operating Committee shall act by a majority vote of its members. If the Operating
Committee fails to make a decision, resolve a dispute or agree upon any necessary action, the
unresolved matters shall be handled by the dispute resolution procedures contained in the
Separation Agreement.

     (c) During the term of this Agreement, the full Operating Committee shall meet at such times
as may be required by either Lead Representative. Meetings of the Operating Committee may be in
person or via teleconference and shall be convened and held in accordance with such procedures as
the Operating Committee may determine from time to time.

 

 

          Section 13.15 Effect if Distribution Does Not Occur. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, if the Separation Agreement or Transition Services Agreement is
terminated prior to the Distribution Date, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect.

          Section 13.16 Corporate Authorization. The officers of Cadbury and DPSG are hereby
authorized, empowered and directed, in the name and on behalf of each of Cadbury and DPSG,
respectively, to take or cause to be taken all such further action, to execute and deliver or cause
to be executed and delivered all such further agreements, certificates, instruments and documents,

judgment be deemed necessary, proper or advisable to effect and carry out the intent of this
Agreement, such determination to be evidenced conclusively by such officers’ execution and delivery
thereof or taking of action in respect thereto.
