In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Demerger Effective Time, each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have Assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to Assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or deferral of the Assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.04(a), are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, assignment, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.

(d) The Person retaining any Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the Transfer of such Asset or the deferral of the Assumption of such Liability pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or otherwise shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, assumed, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Person entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability and at no net Tax cost to such retaining Person, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Person entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability.

(e) Each of CS and DPS shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes (A) the deferred Assets as Assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Assets not later than the Demerger Effective Time and

(B) the deferred Liabilities as Liabilities having been Assumed and owed by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the Demerger Effective Time and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), unless required by a Tax Law or any other Law or good faith resolution of a contest or proceeding relating to Taxes).

(f) Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to modify the terms of any Beverages IP Agreement entered into between any member of the DPS Group, on the one hand, and any member of the Cadbury plc Group on the other.

(a) Promptly following the sanction by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales (the “Court”) of the Scheme, Cadbury plc shall apply to the Court to approve a reduction in capital pursuant to Section 135 of the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (the “Reduction”) under which the share capital of Cadbury plc shall be reduced by decreasing the nominal value of each Cadbury plc Ordinary Share from 500 to 10 ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Cadbury plc Beverages Shares will be cancelled in their entirety.

(b) Promptly after receipt of the order (the “Court Order”) from the Court approving the Reduction, Cadbury plc shall file the Court Order at Companies House.

(c) On the Distribution Date, DPS shall issue to each holder of a Cadbury plc Beverages Share 12 shares of DPS Common Stock for every 36 Cadbury plc Beverages Shares held by such shareholder and the shares of DPS Common Stock held by CS shall be cancelled. No action by any such shareholder shall be necessary for such shareholder (or such shareholder’s designated transferee or transferees) to receive the applicable number of shares of (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares) DPS Common Stock such shareholder is entitled to in the Distribution. The Transfer Agent shall credit the appropriate class and number of such shares of DPS Common Stock to book entry accounts for each such holder or designated transferee or transferees of such holder of DPS Common Stock.

Section 7.03 Indemnification by DPS. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, following the Demerger Effective Time, DPS shall and shall cause the other members of the DPS Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Cadbury plc Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the Cadbury plc Indemnitees to the extent arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (i) the Beverages Liabilities or any alleged Beverages Liabilities, (ii) any breach by any member of the DPS Group of any of the Shared Contracts, (iii) with respect to statements or omissions made or occurring after the Demerger Effective Time, any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact contained in any document filed with the SEC or the FSA by any member of the Cadbury plc Group pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Prospectus Rules or the Listing Rules, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only (A) to the extent that those Liabilities are caused by any misstatement or omission or alleged misstatement or omission in any information that is furnished in writing to any member of the Cadbury plc Group by any member of the DPS Group after the Demerger Effective Time, (B) if such member of the DPS Group has been informed in writing in advance that such information will be used in such filing and (C) if the information used by a member of the Cadbury plc Group in any such filing is not materially different to the information furnished by a member of the DPS Group, or (iv) any breach by DPS or any member of the DPS Group of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement unless such Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.

Section 7.04 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) An Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter that an Indemnitee has determined has given, or reasonably anticipates could give rise to, a right of indemnification under this Agreement (other than a Third Party Claim which shall be governed by Section 7.04(b)), within 30 days of such determination, stating the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) If an Action is made against a Cadbury plc Indemnitee or a Beverages Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) by any Person who is not a Party or a member of a Group of a Party (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the other Party which is or may be required pursuant to this ARTICLE VII or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within 30 days) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except to the extent the

Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof (and in any event within 10 Business Days), copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.

(c) An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the applicable Indemnitees, if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the applicable Indemnitees within 30 days of the receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim from such Indemnitees. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information and materials in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in Section 7.04(c), such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnitee is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make available to the Indemnitee, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information, material in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnitee.

(e) If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(f) In the case of a Third Party Claim, no Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of the Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee; provided that consent from the Indemnitee shall not be required if such settlement contains a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee and does not permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other non-monetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee.

(g) Except as may otherwise be specifically provided for in the Ancillary Agreements and except as set forth in of Sections 10.02(d) and (f) hereof, the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties for any failure by the other Party to perform and comply with any covenants and agreements in this Agreement and any other dispute, controversy or claim (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) that may arise out of or relate to, or arise under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, or the transactions contemplated

hereby or thereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby on or prior to the Demerger Effective Time), between or among any member of the Cadbury plc Group, on the one hand, and any member of the DPS Group, on the other hand.

Section 7.05 Cooperation in Defense and Settlement. CS and DPS agree that, from and after the Demerger Effective Time, if an Action is commenced by a third party (or any member of either Party’s respective Group) with respect to which one or both Parties (or any member of either Party’s respective Group) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, then the other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action.

Section 7.06 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) Any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this ARTICLE VII will be calculated (i) net of Insurance Proceeds received by the Indemnitee that actually reduce the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss, and (ii) net of any proceeds received by the Indemnitee from any third party for indemnification for such Liability that actually reduce the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss (“Third Party Proceeds”). If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) Any insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification and contributions provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. The Indemnitee shall use reasonable best efforts to seek to collect or recover any third party Insurance Proceeds and any Third Party Proceeds (other than Insurance Proceeds under an arrangement where future premiums are adjusted to reflect prior claims in excess of prior premiums) to which the Indemnitee is entitled in connection with any Indemnifiable Loss for which the Indemnitee seeks contribution or indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VII (it being understood that the obligation to use reasonable best efforts to collect or recover any third party Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds shall not require the Indemnitee to commence any litigation proceedings against any such third party); provided that the Indemnitee’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.

(c) CS and DPS agree that any indemnification payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE VII shall be paid free and clear of any Tax deduction or withholding. If any deduction or withholding is required by applicable Law to be made from any indemnification payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE VII, the amount of the payment will be increased by such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount received by the Indemnitee (after taking account of all such deductions and withholdings) is equal to the amount which it

would have received had the payment in question not been subject to any deductions or withholdings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent such efforts will not result in materially adverse consequences to a Party) to mitigate or avoid such deductions and withholdings.

(d) Any indemnification payment made under this ARTICLE VII will be subject to adjustment for certain net Tax benefits and net Tax costs attributable to such indemnification payment (including gross-up) and to amounts indemnified against as provided in the Tax Sharing Agreement.

Section 7.07 Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities.

(a) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this ARTICLE VII shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; (ii) any knowledge prior to the date hereof by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder; and (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

(b) The rights and obligations of each Party and their respective Indemnitees under this ARTICLE VII shall survive the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its respective Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

ARTICLE VIII

CS shall notify DPS at least 90 days in advance of destroying any such Information in order to provide DPS the opportunity to access such Information in accordance with this Section 8.01(a) and if DPS fails

Section 8.02 Access to Information. Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to ARTICLE VII (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern), from the Distribution Date and for so long as any access is required pursuant to Section 8.01, each of CS and DPS shall afford to the other and its authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, subject to appropriate restrictions for privileged or Confidential Information and to preserve the completeness and integrity of the Information, to the personnel, properties, and Information of such Party and its Subsidiaries insofar as such access is reasonably required by the other Party and relates to (x) such other Party or the conduct of its business prior to the Demerger Effective Time or (y) any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement. Nothing in this Section 8.02 shall require any Party to violate any agreement with any third party regarding the confidentiality of Confidential Information relating to that third party or its business; provided, however, that in the event that a Party is required to disclose any such Information, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such third party Consent to the disclosure of such Information.

Section 8.03 Disposition of Information.

(a) Each Party acknowledges that Information in its or in a member of its Group’s possession, custody or control as of the Demerger Effective Time may include Information owned by the other Party or a member of such Party’s Group and not related to (i) its Group or its business or (ii) any Ancillary Agreement to which it or any member of its Group is a Party.

(b) Notwithstanding such possession, custody or control, such Information shall remain the property of such other Party or member of such other Party’s Group. Each Party agrees (i) that any such Information is to be treated as Confidential Information of the Party or Parties to which it relates and handled in accordance with Section 8.07 (except that such

Information will not be used for any purpose other than a purpose permitted under this Agreement) and (ii) following a reasonable request from the other Party, subject to applicable Law, use commercially reasonable efforts within a reasonable time to (1) purge such Information from its databases, files and other systems and not retain any copy of such Information (including, if applicable, by transferring such Information to the Party to which such Information belongs), or (2) if such purging is not practicable, to encrypt or otherwise make unreadable or inaccessible such Information.

Section 8.04 Witness Services. At all times from and after the Distribution Date, each of CS and DPS shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other, upon reasonable written request, its and any member of its Group’s officers, directors, employees and agents as witnesses to the extent that (i) such Persons may reasonably be required to testify in connection with the prosecution or defense of any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved (except for claims, demands or Actions between members of each Group) and (ii) there is no conflict of interest in the underlying Action between the requesting Party and CS and DPS, as applicable; provided that the existence of a claim for indemnification under ARTICLE VII shall not in and of itself be deemed a conflict of interest. A Party providing a witness to the other Party under this Section shall be entitled to receive from the recipient of such services, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees who are witnesses or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service as witnesses), as may be reasonably incurred and properly paid under applicable Law.

necessary in order to permit a Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements, Tax Returns or other required disclosures.

In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party whose Confidential Information is required to be disclosed shall or shall cause the other Party to furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Information.

Section 8.07 Privileged Matters.

(a) The Parties recognize that certain legal and other professional services (both internal and external) have been and will be provided prior to and after the Distribution Date and have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Cadbury plc Group and the DPS Group, and that each of the members of the Cadbury plc Group and the DPS Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law;provided that with respect to such services the Parties agree as follows:

(i) the Parties shall not be entitled to assert privilege with respect to such legal and other professional services provided prior to the Distribution Date against the other Party or any member of the other Party’s Group;

(ii) CS shall be entitled, on behalf of itself or any member of the Cadbury plc Group, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information to the extent relating to the Cadbury plc Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of CS or DPS. CS shall also be entitled, on behalf of itself or any member of the Cadbury plc Group, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Cadbury plc Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by any member of the Cadbury plc Group, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of CS or DPS;

(iii) DPS shall be entitled, on behalf of itself or any member of the DPS Group, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information to the extent relating to the Beverages Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of CS or DPS. DPS shall also be entitled, on behalf of itself or any member of the DPS Group, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Beverages Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other

proceedings initiated against or by any member of the DPS Group, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of CS or DPS; and

(iv) the Parties shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 8.07, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Section 8.07(a)(ii) and (iii). All privileges relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve members of both the Cadbury plc Group and the DPS Group in respect of which such Parties retain any responsibility or Liability under this Agreement, shall be subject to a shared privilege among them.

(b) No Party may waive any privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which the other Party has a shared privilege, without the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or as provided in Section 8.07(c) or Section 8.07(d) below. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within 10 Business Days after notice upon the other Party requesting such consent.

(c) In the event of any litigation or dispute between or among the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the relevant Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Group’s, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to third parties.

(d) If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or any member of their respective Groups regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by another Party. Each Party specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.

(e) Upon receipt by any Party or by any member of a Party’s Group of any subpoena, discovery, court order or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Information subject to a shared privilege or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any member of its Group’s current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of such privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 8.07 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged Information.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02 hereof, from and after the Demerger Effective Time, CS shall be responsible for (i) Insurance Administration of the Beverages Shared Policies; and (ii) Claims Administration under such Beverages Shared Policies with respect to Cadbury plc Liabilities and (iii) reasonable oversight of Claims Administration by DPS under such Beverages Shared Policies with respect to Beverages Liabilities; provided that the retention of such responsibilities by CS is in no way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right to insurance coverage for any Beverages Shared Policy Insured Claim of a named insured under such Policies as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement; provided further that CS’ retention of the administrative responsibilities for the Beverages Shared Policies shall not relieve the Party submitting any Beverages Shared Policy Insured Claim of the primary responsibility for reporting such Beverages Shared Policy Insured Claim accurately, completely and in a timely manner or of such Party’s authority to settle any such Beverages Shared Policy Insured Claim within any period permitted or required by the relevant Policy. CS may discharge its administrative responsibilities under this Section 9.02 by contracting for the provision of services by independent parties. Each of the applicable Parties shall pay any costs relating to defending its respective Beverages Shared Policy Insured Claims under Beverages Shared Policies to the extent such costs including defense, out-of-pocket expenses, and direct and indirect costs of employees or agents of CS related to Claims Administration and Insurance Administration are not covered under such Policies.

(b) Claims Under Beverages Shared Policies. Where Beverages Liabilities are specifically covered under the same Beverages Shared Policy for periods prior to the Distribution Date, or where such Beverages Shared Policies cover claims made after the Distribution Date with respect to an occurrence or wrongful act prior to the Distribution Date, then from and after the Distribution Date, DPS may claim coverage for Beverages Shared Policy Insured Claims under such Beverages Shared Policy as and to the extent that such insurance is available up to the full extent of the applicable limits of liability of such Beverages Shared Policy (and may receive any Insurance Proceeds with respect thereto as contemplated by Section 9.02(c) hereof), subject to the terms of this Section 9.02. Except as set forth in this Section 9.02, no member of the Cadbury plc Group or the DPS Group, as applicable, shall be liable to a member of the other Party’s Group for claims not reimbursed by insurers for any reason not within the control of a member of the Cadbury plc Group or the DPS Group, as the case may be, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of an insurance carrier, Beverages Shared Policy limitations or restrictions, any coverage disputes, any failure to timely claim by a member of the Cadbury plc Group or the DPS Group or any defect in such claim or its processing. It is expressly understood that the foregoing shall not limit any Party’s liability to the other Party for indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE VII.

(c) Allocation of Insurance Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, Insurance Proceeds received with respect to claims, costs and expenses under the Beverages Shared Policies shall be paid to or on behalf of CS, which shall thereafter administer the Beverages Shared Policies by paying the Insurance Proceeds, as appropriate, to CS with respect to Cadbury plc Liabilities and to DPS with respect to Beverages Liabilities, net of the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by CS in administering the applicable claim

(it being understood that such costs shall fairly reflect the costs to CS of providing such administrative services, including the costs incurred by CS in respects of any increased premiums resulting from any such claims on such Beverages Shared Policy and a reasonable allocation for salary, wages, benefits, Taxes and other expenses directly attributable thereto and without any markup for profit). CS will provide documentation of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred at the time of payment of the allocable portions of the indemnity costs and Insurance Proceeds to DPS. Payment of the allocable portions of indemnity costs of Insurance Proceeds resulting from such Policies will be made by CS to the appropriate Party upon receipt from the insurance carrier. Each Party agrees to obtain for itself and each member of its Group insurance policies (in forms and amounts determined by that Party), which shall be effective as of the Distribution Date, to cover any Cadbury plc Liabilities or Beverages Liabilities, as applicable, that exceed the Insurance Proceeds available from such Beverages Shared Policies. Each of the Parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize available coverage under those Beverages Shared Policies applicable to it, and to take all commercially reasonable steps to recover from all other responsible parties in respect of an Beverages Shared Policy Insured Claim to the extent coverage limits under a Beverages Shared Policy have been exceeded or would be exceeded as a result of such Beverages Shared Policy Insured Claim (it being understood that the obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover from all other responsible parties in respect of a Beverages Shared Policy Insured Claim shall not require any Party to commence any litigation proceedings against any such other responsible party).

Section 9.03 Agreement for Waiver of Conflict and Shared Defense. In the event that Beverages Shared Policy Insured Claims of both Parties exist relating to the same occurrence, the Parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest necessary to the conduct of the joint defense. Nothing in this ARTICLE IX shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties to this Agreement, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise.

ARTICLE X

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 10.01 Disputes. Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement (the terms of which, to the extent so provided therein, shall govern the resolution of disputes, controversies or claims that are the subject of such Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement), the procedures for discussion, negotiation and arbitration set forth in this ARTICLE X shall apply to all disputes, controversies or claims (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) that may arise out of or relate to, or arise under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including all actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby on or prior to the Demerger Effective Time), between or among any member of the Cadbury plc Group, on the one hand, and any member of the DPS Group, on the other hand (collectively, “Agreement Disputes”).

Section 10.02 Dispute Resolution.

(a) CS and DPS will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to resolve expeditiously any Agreement Dispute on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, any member of the DPS Group or the Cadbury plc Group involved in an Agreement Dispute may deliver a notice (an “Escalation Notice”) demanding an in-person meeting involving senior level management representatives of Cadbury plc and DPS (or, if CS and DPS agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within each such entity). A copy of any such Escalation Notice shall be given to the Chief Legal Officer of each of Cadbury plc and DPS (which copy shall state that it is an Escalation Notice pursuant to this Section 10.02). Any agenda, location or procedures for such discussions or negotiations between CS and DPS may be established by CS and DPS from time to time; provided, however, that the representatives of Cadbury plc and DPS shall use their reasonable efforts to meet within 30 days of the Escalation Notice.

(b) If the senior level management representatives of Cadbury plc and DPS are not able to resolve the Agreement Dispute within 30 days after the date of receipt of the Escalation Notice (or such shorter time as is necessary to avoid immediate irreparable injury), then the Agreement Dispute shall be submitted to the chief executive officers of both Cadbury plc and DPS.

(c) If CS and DPS are not able to resolve the Agreement Dispute through the processes set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10.02 within 60 days after the date of the Escalation Notice, such Agreement Dispute shall be determined, at the request of either CS or DPS by arbitration, which shall be conducted (i) by three arbitrators, consisting of one arbitrator appointed by CS, one arbitrator appointed by DPS and a third arbitrator appointed by the two arbitrators appointed by CS and DPS or, if the arbitrators appointed by Cadbury plc and DPS cannot agree on a third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the chief executive officers of both CS and DPS, and (ii) in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (except with respect to the selection of arbitrators) in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration.

(d) The decision of the arbitrators (which, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, may include an order to specifically perform any provision of this Agreement) shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto, and the expense of the arbitration (including the award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party) shall be paid as the arbitrators determine. The decision of the arbitrators shall be executory, and judgment thereon may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York, New York.

(e) The existence of, and any discussions, negotiations, arbitrations or other proceedings relating to, any Agreement Dispute shall be considered by each Party hereto as Confidential Information until such time as a judgment thereon is entered in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no member of the DPS Group and no member of the Cadbury plc Group shall have the right to institute judicial proceedings against the other Party or any Person acting by, through or under such other Party, in order to enforce the instituting Party’s rights hereunder, except that any such member shall be permitted to seek an injunction in aid of arbitration with respect to an Agreement Dispute to preserve the status quo during the pendency of any arbitration proceeding pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.02. All judicial proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York.

Section 10.03 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE X with respect to all matters not subject to such Agreement Dispute.

ARTICLE XI

TERMINATION

Section 11.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Distribution may be abandoned at any time prior to the Distribution Date by and in the sole discretion of CS.

Section 11.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no Liability on the part of either Party hereto.

Section 11.03 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Parties hereto or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 11.04.

Section 11.04 Waiver. Either Party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party and (b) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other Party or conditions to such Party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of either Party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS
