Kraft Foods Group, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1.   Background and Basis of Presentation
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and operating results.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet data at December 28, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. You should read these statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued an accounting standard update ("ASU") that modifies the criteria for reporting the disposal of a component of an entity as discontinued operations. In addition, the ASU requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. The ASU will be effective for all disposals of components of an entity that occur during our fiscal year 2015 and thereafter. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, an entity will apply a principles-based five step model to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU will be effective beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial statements.
Subsequent Events:
We evaluate subsequent events and reflect accounting and disclosure requirements related to material subsequent events in our financial statements and related notes. We did not identify any material subsequent events impacting our financial statements in this report.

Non-amortizing intangible assets consist primarily of indefinite-lived trademarks. Amortizing intangible assets consist primarily of process technology agreements. At June 28, 2014, the weighted average life of our amortizing intangible assets was 5.8 years. Amortization expense was insignificant for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013. We currently estimate annual amortization expense to be insignificant for each of the next five years.
During our 2013 intangible asset impairment review, we noted that a $261 million trademark within our Enhancers business had an excess fair value over its carrying value of 12%. While this trademark passed the first step of the impairment test, if the trademark's forecasted operating income were to decline significantly, the estimated fair value of the trademark could be adversely affected, leading to a potential impairment of a portion of the trademark in the future. No events occurred during the six months ended June 28, 2014 that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.

Restructuring Program:
Our Restructuring Program includes the following:
Approximately $270 million of restructuring costs that qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities.
Approximately $285 million of implementation costs that are directly attributable to the Restructuring Program, but do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. These costs primarily relate to reorganization costs associated with our sales function, our information systems infrastructure, and accelerated depreciation on assets.
Approximately $70 million of transition costs related to our spin-off from Mondelēz International, Inc. ("Mondelēz International") on October 1, 2012 (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off transition costs have not been allocated to the segments because they consist mostly of professional service fees within our finance, legal, and information systems functions.
We expect approximately one-half of the total Restructuring Program costs will be cash expenditures.
At June 28, 2014, we have incurred Restructuring Program costs of $591 million since the inception of the Restructuring Program. We have spent $280 million in cash. We spent cash related to our Restructuring Program of $8 million in the three months and $19 million in the six months ended June 28, 2014 and $30 million in the three months and $70 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013. We did not incur any non-cash costs in the three or six months ended June 28, 2014. We incurred non-cash costs of $47 million in the three months and $118 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013. We expect to complete the Restructuring Program by the end of 2014.

At June 28, 2014, we had approximately 0.4 million shares of restricted stock outstanding that were issued to current and former employees. There were no preferred shares issued and outstanding at June 28, 2014 or December 28, 2013.
On December 17, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized a $3.0 billion share repurchase program with no expiration date. Under the share repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of share repurchases are subject to management's evaluation of market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares of our common stock and may suspend the program at our discretion. In the three months ended June 28, 2014, we repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares for approximately $115 million under this program. Approximately $3 million of the $115 million was accrued at June 28, 2014 and subsequently settled in July 2014. As of June 28, 2014, we have repurchased approximately 4.2 million shares for approximately $239 million under this program since its inception.
Note 7.   Stock Plans
Under the Kraft Foods Group, Inc. 2012 Performance Incentive Plan, we may grant eligible employees awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as well as performance based long-term incentive awards (“Performance Shares”).
Stock Options:
In February 2014, as part of our equity compensation program, we granted 2.3 million stock options to eligible employees at an exercise price of $55.17 per share. During the six months ended June 28, 2014, we also granted an additional 0.1 million stock options to eligible employees at a weighted average exercise price of $54.77 per share. During the six months ended June 28, 2014, 2.4 million stock options were exercised with a total intrinsic value of $61 million.
Restricted Stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares:
In aggregate, we granted 1.5 million RSUs and Performance Shares during the six months ended June 28, 2014 at a weighted average market value per share of $56.81.
In February 2014, as part of our equity compensation program:
We granted 0.5 million RSUs at a market value of $55.17 per share.
We granted 0.8 million Performance Shares at a grant date fair value of $59.97 per share. These awards measure performance over a multi-year period, during which the employee may earn shares based on internal financial metrics and the performance of our stock relative to a defined peer group. We measured the grant date fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which assists in estimating the probability of achieving the market conditions stipulated in the award grant.
We granted 0.1 million additional Performance Shares with a weighted average market value of $34.37 per share (based on the original 2011 award date), which vested immediately. We granted these shares based on the final business performance rating for the 2011-2013 award cycle. These shares were adjusted and converted into new equity awards using a formula designed to preserve the value of the awards immediately prior to the Spin-Off.

During the six months ended June 28, 2014, we also granted 0.1 million additional RSUs at a weighted average market value per share of $55.78.
During the six months ended June 28, 2014, 1.1 million shares of restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares vested at an aggregate market value of $59 million.

We remeasure all of our postemployment benefit plans at least annually at the end of our fiscal year. As a result of the December 28, 2013 remeasurement, we capitalized an aggregate benefit of $34 million from market-based impacts related to our pension plans into inventory consistent with our capitalization policy. The entire $34 million of benefit previously capitalized has been recognized in cost of sales and is included in actuarial (gains) / losses in the table above for the six months ended June 28, 2014. We have not remeasured any of our postemployment benefit plans in 2014.
In the second quarter of 2013, as a result of our voluntary early retirement program, we were required to remeasure certain of our U.S. pension plans. This remeasurement resulted in a benefit from market-based impacts of $603 million as of June 29, 2013, primarily driven by an 80 basis point increase in the discount rate. We recorded $350 million of the benefit from market-based impacts in cost of sales and $253 million in selling, general and

11



administrative expenses. The $603 million benefit from market-based impacts as of June 29, 2013 is reflected in actuarial (gains) / losses in the tables above.
The 2013 special termination benefits were associated with our voluntary early retirement program and were included in our Restructuring Program costs.
Employer Contributions:
During the six months ended June 28, 2014, we contributed $19 million to our U.S. pension plans and $8 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. Based on our contribution strategy, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $140 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $35 million to our non-U.S. plans during the remainder of 2014. However, our actual contributions may differ due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, tax deductibility, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates, or other factors.

Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of commodity futures and options contracts and are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of commodity forwards and foreign exchange forwards. Commodity forwards are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign exchange forwards are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

Note 10.   Commitments, Contingencies and Debt
Legal Proceedings:
We are routinely involved in legal proceedings, claims, and governmental inquiries, inspections or investigations (“Legal Matters”) arising in the ordinary course of our business.
We have been advised by the staff of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) that they are investigating activities related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts. These activities arose prior to the Spin-Off and involve the business now owned and operated by Mondelēz International or its affiliates. We are cooperating with the staff in its investigation. While the staff has advised us that they are prepared to recommend that the Commission consider commencing a formal action, we and Mondelēz International are seeking to resolve this matter prior to any formal action being taken. Our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Mondelēz International dated as of September 27, 2012, governs the allocation between Kraft and Mondelēz International and, accordingly, Mondelēz International will predominantly bear the costs of this matter and any monetary penalties or other payments that the CFTC may impose. We do not expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
While we cannot predict with certainty the results of Legal Matters in which we are currently involved or may in the future be involved, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve any of the Legal Matters that are currently pending will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Third-Party Guarantees:
We have third-party guarantees primarily covering long-term obligations related to leased properties. The carrying amounts of our third-party guarantees was $22 million at June 28, 2014 and $24 million at December 28, 2013. The maximum potential payment under these guarantees was $49 million at June 28, 2014 and $53 million at December 28, 2013. Substantially all of these guarantees expire at various times through 2027.
Total Debt:     
On May 29, 2014, we entered into a new $3.0 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires on May 29, 2019 unless extended. The credit facility enables us to borrow up to $3.0 billion, which may be increased by up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate with the agreement of the lenders providing the increased

15



commitments. The credit facility includes borrowing capacity in the form of letters of credit up to $300 million. The credit facility requires us to maintain a minimum total shareholders’ equity (excluding certain items) of at least $2.4 billion and also contains customary representations, covenants, and events of default. At June 28, 2014, no amounts were drawn on this credit facility. The credit facility replaced our $3.0 billion five-year credit agreement dated as of May 18, 2012. We expect to use the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including for working capital purposes and to support our commercial paper issuances.
Fair Value of our Debt:
The fair value of our long-term debt was determined using Level 1 quoted prices in active markets. At June 28, 2014, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $11.0 billion as compared with the carrying value of $10.0 billion.
Note 11.   Accumulated Other Comprehensive Losses
Total accumulated other comprehensive losses consists of net earnings / (losses) and other changes in business equity from sources other than shareholders. It includes foreign currency translation gains and losses, postemployment benefit plan adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses from derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.

We excluded antidilutive stock options and Performance Shares from our calculation of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for diluted EPS of 2.7 million for the three months and 2.0 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014 and zero for the three months and 1.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013.
Note 13.   Segment Reporting
We manufacture and market food and beverage products, including cheese, refrigerated meals, refreshment beverages, coffee, and other grocery products, primarily in the United States and Canada. We manage and report our operating results through six reportable segments: Cheese, Refrigerated Meals, Beverages, Meals & Desserts, Enhancers & Snack Nuts, and Canada. Our remaining businesses, including our Foodservice and Exports businesses, are aggregated and disclosed as “Other Businesses”.
Management uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes the following for all periods presented:
Unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales) in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Once realized, the gains and losses on hedging activities are recorded within segment operating results.
Certain components of our postemployment benefit plans (which are a component of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses) because we centrally manage postemployment benefit plan funding decisions and the determination of discount rates, expected rate of return on plan assets, and other actuarial assumptions.
General corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses).
Furthermore, we centrally manage interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measures that management reviews.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Description of the Company
We manufacture and market food and beverage products, including cheese, refrigerated meals, refreshment beverages, coffee, and other grocery products, primarily in the United States and Canada. Our product categories span all major meal occasions, both at home and in foodservice locations.
Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results
Cost Savings Initiatives
We incurred cost savings initiatives expenses of $21 million in the three months and $35 million in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to $82 million in the three months and $201 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013. Our costs savings initiatives include our multi-year $625 million Restructuring Program. The Restructuring Program consists of restructuring costs, implementation costs, and transition costs related to our Spin-Off. Approximately one-half of the total Restructuring Program costs will be cash expenditures. We spent cash of $8

20



million in the three months and $19 million in the six months ended June 28, 2014 and $30 million in the three months and $70 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013 related to our Restructuring Program. We expect to complete the Restructuring Program by the end of 2014. See Note 5, Cost Savings Initiatives, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Postemployment Benefit Plans
We remeasure all of our postemployment benefit plans at least annually at the end of our fiscal year. As a result of the December 28, 2013 remeasurement, we capitalized an aggregate benefit of $49 million from market-based impacts related to our postemployment benefit plans into inventory consistent with our capitalization policy. The entire $49 million of benefit previously capitalized was recognized in cost of sales in the first quarter of 2014. We have not remeasured any of our postemployment benefit plans in 2014. Separately, in the second quarter of 2013, as a result of our voluntary early retirement program, we were required to remeasure certain of our postemployment benefit plans. This remeasurement resulted in a benefit from market-based impacts of $604 million as of June 29, 2013, primarily driven by an 80 basis point increase in the discount rate. We recorded $350 million of the benefit from market-based impacts in cost of sales and $254 million in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 35.0% in the second quarter of 2014 and 34.6% in the second quarter of 2013.  The 2014 second quarter effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by net discrete items totaling $3 million, primarily due to accrued interest on uncertain tax positions. This is compared to the 2013 second quarter effective tax rate which was impacted by an increase in full year U.S. forecasted earnings due to the remeasurement of certain of our postemployment benefit plans, timing, and the favorable impact of net discrete items totaling $9 million, primarily related to adjustments to tax return estimates.

Our effective tax rate was 34.9% for the first six months of 2014 and 34.2% for the first six months of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by net discrete items totaling $7 million primarily from a discrete item derived by a retrospective contractual change in the treatment of market-based impacts to postemployment benefit plans, partially offset by favorable adjustments related to interest and state tax refunds. For the first six months of 2013, our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by an increase in full year U.S. forecasted earnings due to the remeasurement of certain of our postemployment benefit plans and favorably impacted by net discrete items totaling $19 million, which primarily related to adjustments to tax return estimates and adjustments to state tax rates.
Consolidated Results of Operations

Organic Net Revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section at the end of this item.
Three Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended June 29, 2013
Organic Net Revenues increased, despite economic and consumer trends that continue to pressure the North American food and beverage industry. The expected benefit of a shift in Easter-related shipments, the volume impact of significant pricing actions driven by rising commodity costs, and executional challenges in certain parts of our business impacted our results. Favorable volume/mix (0.9 pp) reflected an impact of approximately 2.5 percentage points due to the expected shift in Easter-related product shipments to the second quarter of 2014, partially offset by volume loss from higher net pricing. Higher net pricing (0.6pp) was due to commodity cost-driven pricing actions (primarily dairy), partially offset by increased promotion activity across the portfolio. The negative impact of foreign currency was due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.
Six Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Six Months Ended June 29, 2013
Organic Net Revenues declined due, in part, to economic and consumer trends that are creating top-line challenges. Our results reflect executional challenges in certain parts of our business as well as the impact of significant pricing actions in response to changing input costs. Organic Net Revenues were down slightly due to unfavorable volume/mix (0.9 pp), partially offset by higher net pricing (0.5 pp). Increased commodity cost-driven pricing in cheese was partially offset by lower commodity cost-driven pricing in coffee experienced through the majority of the period as well as increased promotion activity across the portfolio. The negative impact of foreign currency was due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.

Three Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended June 29, 2013
Higher product costs were due primarily to higher dairy and packaging material commodity costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs, driven by net productivity.

22



Lower selling, general and administrative expenses were driven by the timing of marketing spending and a favorable impact from the annual update of postemployment benefit plan census data.
We incurred $21 million of expenses related to our cost savings initiatives in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $82 million of expenses in the second quarter of 2013, which included the impact of a voluntary early retirement program.
The change in unrealized gains / (losses) on hedging activities decreased operating income by $21 million as we recognized losses of $19 million in the second quarter of 2014 versus gains of $2 million in the second quarter of 2013.
The unfavorable change in market-based impacts to postemployment benefit plans was due to a $604 million remeasurement gain realized in the second quarter of 2013, triggered by our voluntary early retirement program. There were no postemployment benefit plan remeasurements in the second quarter of 2014.
Six Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Six Months Ended June 29, 2013
Higher product costs were due primarily to increased commodity costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs, driven by net productivity. The increase in commodity costs was due primarily to higher dairy and packaging material costs, partially offset by lower coffee bean costs.
We incurred $35 million of expenses related to our cost savings initiatives in the first six months of 2014 compared to $201 million of expenses in the first six months of 2013, which included the impacts of our voluntary early retirement program and the sale-leaseback of our headquarters facilities.
The change in unrealized gains / (losses) on hedging activities increased operating income by $26 million as we recognized gains of $23 million in the first six months of 2014 versus losses of $3 million in the first six months of 2013.
The change in market-based impacts to postemployment benefit plans decreased operating income by $555 million as we recognized $49 million of remeasurement gains in the first quarter of the current year that were previously capitalized into inventory at year-end, compared to remeasurement gains of $604 million in the second quarter of 2013 that were triggered by our voluntary early retirement program.
Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Share
Net earnings decreased 41.9% to $482 million in the second quarter of 2014 and decreased 22.6% to $995 million in the first six months of 2014.

Three Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended June 29, 2013
Our effective tax rate was 35.0% for the three months ended June 28, 2014, compared to 34.6% for the three months ended June 29, 2013. The $0.04 unfavorable EPS impact of the change in taxes resulted from prior year timing and discrete items.

Six Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Six Months Ended June 29, 2013
Our effective tax rate was 34.9% for the six months ended for June 28, 2014, compared to 34.2% for the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily from a first quarter discrete item derived

23



by a retrospective contractual change, which is included in market-based impacts to postemployment benefit plans in the table above. The remaining timing and discrete items essentially offset for the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2013.
Results of Operations by Reportable Segment
We manage and report operating results through six reportable segments: Cheese, Refrigerated Meals, Beverages, Meals & Desserts, Enhancers & Snack Nuts, and Canada. Our remaining businesses, including our Foodservice and Exports businesses, are aggregated and disclosed as “Other Businesses”.

Management uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes the following for all periods presented:
Unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales) in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Once realized, the gains and losses on hedging activities are recorded within segment operating results.
Certain components of our postemployment benefit plans (which are a component of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses) because we centrally manage postemployment benefit plan

funding decisions and the determination of discount rates, expected rate of return on plan assets, and other actuarial assumptions.
General corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses).

Three Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended June 29, 2013
Net revenues increased 1.6%, despite the impact of lower sales to Mondelēz International (0.7 pp). Organic Net Revenues increased 2.3%, due primarily to commodity cost-driven pricing (7.7 pp). Unfavorable volume/mix (5.4 pp, despite a favorable impact from the Easter shift) reflected volume loss from price increases, particularly in sandwich cheese and recipe cheese.
Segment operating income decreased 6.7% as unfavorable volume/mix, higher manufacturing costs, due in part to a voluntary cottage cheese recall, and unfavorable pricing net of commodity costs were partially offset by lower spending on cost savings initiatives and the timing of marketing spending.
Six Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Six Months Ended June 29, 2013
Net revenues increased 1.8%, despite the impact of lower sales to Mondelēz International (0.5 pp). Organic Net Revenues increased 2.3%, due primarily to commodity cost-driven pricing (5.9 pp), partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (3.6 pp) that reflected volume loss from price increases taken across most cheese categories.
Segment operating income increased 1.6% as lower spending on cost savings initiatives, the timing of marketing spending, and favorable pricing net of commodity costs was partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix and higher manufacturing costs.

Three Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended June 29, 2013
Net revenues and Organic Net Revenues increased 2.6%, driven by higher net pricing (1.4 pp) and favorable volume/mix (1.2 pp, including a favorable impact from the Easter shift). Higher net pricing reflected commodity cost-driven pricing, primarily in bacon. Favorable volume/mix was driven by new protein snacks, bacon and lunch combinations, partially offset by cold cuts.
Segment operating income increased 12.5%, driven primarily by lower overhead spending and lower spending on cost savings initiatives.

Three Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended June 29, 2013
Net revenues and Organic Net Revenues were flat, as favorable volume/mix (6.7 pp) was offset by lower net pricing (6.6 pp). Favorable volume/mix, including a favorable impact from the Easter shift, was realized in coffee and ready-to-drink beverages, partially offset by lower shipments of liquid concentrates. Lower net pricing was due primarily to increased promotion spending in all beverage categories.
Segment operating income decreased 10.3%, due primarily to unfavorable pricing net of commodity costs, higher manufacturing costs, and the timing of marketing spending, partially offset by favorable volume/mix and lower spending on cost savings initiatives.
Six Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to SIx Months Ended June 29, 2013
Net revenues and Organic Net Revenues decreased 2.5%, due to lower net pricing (5.3 pp), partially offset by favorable volume/mix (2.8 pp). Lower net pricing was due primarily to increased promotion spending in ready-to-drink beverages and roast and ground coffee. Favorable volume/mix was driven by growth in on-demand coffee products and higher shipments of ready-to-drink beverages, partially offset by lower shipments of liquid concentrates.
Segment operating income decreased 2.8%, due primarily to unfavorable pricing net of commodity costs and the timing of marketing spending. This decrease was partially offset by lower spending on cost savings initiatives and lower manufacturing costs, driven by net productivity.

Three Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended June 29, 2013
Net revenues increased 6.1%, including higher sales to Mondelēz International (1.8 pp), partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency (0.8 pp). Organic Net Revenues increased 5.1%, due to higher commodity cost-driven pricing (5.7 pp), partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (0.6 pp), which included the unfavorable impact of planned Foodservice product line exits.
Segment operating income increased 23.2%, due primarily to lower manufacturing costs driven by net productivity and favorable pricing net of commodity costs.
Six Months Ended June 28, 2014 compared to Six Months Ended June 29, 2013
Net revenues increased 2.4%, including higher sales to Mondelēz International (1.5 pp), partially offset by the impact of unfavorable foreign currency (1.0 pp).

Segment operating income increased 24.3%, driven primarily by lower spending on cost savings initiatives, lower manufacturing costs driven by net productivity, and favorable pricing net of commodity costs, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that cash generated from our operating activities, our $3.0 billion revolving credit facility, and our commercial paper program will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital needs, expected cost savings initiatives expenditures, planned capital expenditures, planned contributions to our postemployment benefit plans, purchases under our share repurchase program, future contractual obligations, and payment of our anticipated quarterly dividends. We will use our cash on hand and our commercial paper program for daily funding requirements. Overall, we do not expect any negative effects on our funding sources that would have a material effect on our short-term or long-term liquidity.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:
Operating activities provided net cash of $640 million in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared with $611 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in cash provided by operating activities primarily related to a decrease in pension contributions in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2013 and lower cash payments on accounts payable and income taxes, partially offset by higher inventories.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities:
Net cash used in investing activities was $186 million in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared with $108 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013. Capital expenditures were $186 million in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to $212 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013. While our capital expenditures decreased in the first six months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013, our cash used in investing activities increased in the first six months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013 due primarily to the receipt of proceeds of $101 million from the sale of our headquarters facilities in the first quarter of 2013. We expect 2014 capital expenditures to be approximately $550 million to $575 million, including capital expenditures required for our cost savings initiatives. We expect to fund these expenditures with cash from operations.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities:
Net cash used in financing activities was $769 million in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared with $582 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in financing activities in the first six months of 2014 was driven primarily by $236 million of cash spent to repurchase shares of our common stock compared to a one-time net settlement with Mondelēz International for stock awards of $55 million in the first six months of 2013. We paid dividends of $628 million in the six months ended June 28, 2014 and $594 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013.
Total Debt:
Our total debt was $10.0 billion at June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013. The weighted average remaining term of our debt was 12.7 years at June 28, 2014.
On May 29, 2014, we entered into a new $3.0 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires on May 29, 2019 unless extended. The credit facility enables us to borrow up to $3.0 billion, which may be increased by up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate with the agreement of the lenders providing the increased commitments. The credit facility includes borrowing capacity in the form of letters of credit up to $300 million. The credit facility requires us to maintain a minimum total shareholders’ equity (excluding certain items) of at least $2.4 billion and also contains customary representations, covenants, and events of default. At June 28, 2014, no amounts were drawn on this credit facility. The credit facility replaced our $3.0 billion five-year credit agreement dated as of May 18, 2012. We expect to use the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including for working capital purposes and to support our commercial paper issuances.

29



Commodity Trends
We purchase large quantities of commodities, including dairy products, coffee beans, meat products, wheat, corn products, soybean and vegetable oils, nuts, and sugar and other sweeteners. In addition, we use significant quantities of resins and cardboard to package our products and natural gas to operate our facilities. We continuously monitor worldwide supply and cost trends of these commodities.
During the six months ended June 28, 2014, our aggregate commodity costs increased over the prior year period, primarily as a result of higher dairy and packaging material costs, partially offset by lower costs of coffee beans, sugar, soybean and vegetable oil, and nuts. Our commodity costs increased $102 million in the second quarter and $87 million in the first six months of 2014 over the comparable prior year period. We expect commodity cost volatility to continue over the remainder of the year. We manage commodity cost volatility primarily through pricing and risk management strategies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements other than the guarantees and contractual obligations that are discussed below.
As discussed in Note 10, Commitments, Contingencies and Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we have third-party guarantees primarily covering long-term obligations related to leased properties. The carrying amount of our third-party guarantees was $22 million at June 28, 2014 and $24 million at December 28, 2013. The maximum potential payment under these guarantees was $49 million at June 28, 2014 and $53 million at December 28, 2013. Substantially all of these guarantees expire at various times through 2027.
In addition, we were contingently liable for guarantees related to our own performance totaling $83 million at June 28, 2014 and $86 million at December 28, 2013. These include letters of credit related to dairy commodity purchases and other letters of credit.
Guarantees have not had, and we do not expect them to have, a material effect on our liquidity.
Aggregate Contractual Obligations:
For a description of our contractual obligations, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013 under "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations." There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since December 28, 2013.
Equity and Dividends
On December 17, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized a $3.0 billion share repurchase program with no expiration date. Under the share repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of share repurchases are subject to management's evaluation of market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares of our common stock and may suspend the program at our discretion. In the three months ended June 28, 2014, we repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares for approximately $115 million under this program. As of June 28, 2014, we have repurchased approximately 4.2 million shares for approximately $239 million under this program since its inception.
See Note 7, Stock Plans, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our share-based equity programs.
Dividends:
We paid dividends of $628 million in the first six months of 2014. On June 23, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.525 per share of common stock, which was paid on July 25, 2014 to shareholders of record on July 11, 2014. In connection with this dividend, we recorded $313 million of dividends payable at June 28, 2014. We paid dividends of $594 million in the first six months of 2013. The present annualized dividend rate is $2.10 per share of common stock. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.

Significant Accounting Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 28, 2013 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our significant accounting estimates are described in our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 28, 2013 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no changes in our accounting policies in the current period that had a material impact on our financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1, Background and Basis of Presentation, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements.
Contingencies
See Note 10, Commitments, Contingencies and Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of contingencies.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we present Organic Net Revenues, which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Organic Net Revenues as net revenues excluding the impact of transactions with Mondelēz International, acquisitions, divestitures (including the termination of a full line of business due to the loss of a licensing or distribution arrangement, and the complete exit of business out of a foreign country), currency and the 53rd week of shipments when it occurs. We calculate the impact of currency on net revenues by holding exchange rates constant at the previous year's exchange rate. We believe that presenting Organic Net Revenues is useful because it (i) provides both management and investors meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items, (ii) permits investors to view our performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate our historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating Kraft.
We believe that the presentation of Organic Net Revenues, when considered together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure and the reconciliation to that measure, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP measures we use may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and other companies may not define the non-GAAP measures we use in the same way. A reconciliation of Organic Net Revenues to net revenues is set forth below.

Forward-looking Statements
This report contains a number of forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify our forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements, beliefs, and expectations regarding our business, dividends, projected market performance of our common stock related to Performance Share awards, new accounting pronouncements and accounting changes, commodity costs, cost savings initiatives, hedging activities, legal matters, goodwill and other intangible assets, price volatility and cost environment, liquidity, funding sources, postemployment benefit plans, including expected contributions, obligations, rates of return and costs, capital expenditures and funding, debt, off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations, general views about future operating results, our risk management program, and other events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Important factors that affect our business and operations and that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, increased competition; our ability to maintain, extend and expand our reputation and brand image; our ability to differentiate our products from other brands; increasing consolidation of retail customers; changes in relationships with our significant customers and suppliers; our ability to predict, identify and interpret changes in consumer preferences and demand; our ability to drive revenue growth in our key product categories, increase our market share, or add products; volatility in commodity, energy and other input costs; changes in our management team or other key personnel; our geographic focus in North America; changes in regulations; legal claims or other regulatory enforcement actions; product recalls or product liability claims; unanticipated business disruptions; our ability to complete or realize the benefits from potential acquisitions, alliances, divestitures or joint ventures; our indebtedness and our ability to pay our indebtedness; disruptions in our information technology networks and systems; our inability to protect our intellectual property rights; weak economic conditions; tax law changes; the tax treatment of the Spin-Off; volatility of market-based impacts to postemployment benefit plans; pricing actions; and other factors. For additional information on these and other factors that could affect our forward-looking statements, see our risk factors, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this report, except as required by applicable law or regulation.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
As we operate primarily in North America but source our commodities from global markets and periodically enter into financing or other arrangements abroad, we use financial instruments to manage our primary market risk exposures, which are commodity price, foreign currency exchange rate, and interest rate risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. We maintain commodity price, foreign currency, and interest rate risk management policies that principally use derivative instruments to reduce significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. We also sell commodity futures to unprice future purchase commitments, and we occasionally use related futures to cross-hedge a commodity exposure. We are not a party to leveraged derivatives and, by policy, do not use financial instruments for speculative purposes. There were no significant changes in the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge our exposures since December 28, 2013. See Note 9, Financial Instruments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our derivative activity during the six months ended June 28, 2014 and the types of derivative instruments we used to hedge our exposures.
See "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013. Other than as discussed above, there have been no material changes in our market risk as of June 28, 2014.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day of any Pro Rata Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Pro Rata Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Pro Rata Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(b) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower proposing such Pro Rata Borrowing on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at:
(i)in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Pro Rata Advances comprising such Pro Rata Borrowing in respect of such amount, and
(ii)in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Advance as part of such Pro Rata Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(e)Independent Lender Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make the Pro Rata Advance to be made by it as part of any Pro Rata Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Pro Rata Advance on the date of such Pro Rata Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Pro Rata Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Pro Rata Borrowing.
SECTION 2.03    Repayment of Pro Rata Advances. Each Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender on the Termination Date applicable to such Lender the unpaid principal amount of the Pro Rata Advances of such Lender then outstanding.
SECTION 2.04    Interest on Pro Rata Advances.
(a)Scheduled Interest. Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Pro Rata Advance owing by such Borrower to each Lender from the date of such Pro Rata Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
(i)Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Pro Rata Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (1) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus





(2) the Applicable Interest Rate Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full either prior to or on the Termination Date.
(ii)LIBO Rate Advances. During such periods as such Pro Rata Advance is a LIBO Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Pro Rata Advance to the sum of (x) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period for such Pro Rata Advance plus (y) the Applicable Interest Rate Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, and on the date such LIBO Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full either prior to or on the Termination Date.
(b)Default Interest. If any principal of or interest on any Pro Rata Advance or any fee or other amount payable by a Borrower hereunder (other than principal of or interest on any Competitive Bid Advance) 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 dates referred to in Section 2.04(a)(i) or Section 2.04(a)(ii), as applicable, at a rate per annum equal at all times to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Pro Rata Advance, 1% per annum above the rate per annum otherwise required to be paid on such Pro Rata Advance as provided in Section 2.04(a) or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 1% per annum plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances as provided in Section 2.04(a)(i).
SECTION 2. 05    Additional Interest on LIBO Rate Advances. Each Borrower shall pay to each Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBO Rate Advance of such Lender to such Borrower, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Advance from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such LIBO Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to Kraft Foods Group through the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 2.06    Conversion of Pro Rata Advances.
(d)Conversion upon Absence of Interest Period. If any Borrower (or Kraft Foods Group on behalf of any other Borrower) shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of the term “Interest Period,” the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify such Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into LIBO Rate Advances with a one month Interest Period.
(e)Conversion upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may elect that (i) each LIBO Rate Advance be, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into LIBO Rate Advances be suspended.
(f)Voluntary Conversion. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.06(b), 2.08(c) and 2.13, any Borrower may Convert all of its Pro Rata Advances of one Type constituting the same Pro Rata Borrowing into Advances of the other Type on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion; provided, however, that the Conversion of a LIBO Rate Advance into a Base Rate Advance may be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Advance. Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify
(i)the date of such Conversion;





(ii)the Pro Rata Advances to be Converted; and
(iii)if such Conversion is into LIBO Rate Advances, the duration of the Interest Period for each such Pro Rata Advance.
SECTION 2.07    The Competitive Bid Advances.
(a)Competitive Bid Advances’ Impact on Commitments. Each Lender severally agrees that any Borrower may make Competitive Bid Borrowings under this Section 2.07 from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in the manner set forth below; provided that, following the making of each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the aggregate amount of the Advances and Letter of Credit Exposure then outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders. As provided in Section 2.01, the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be deemed used from time to time to the extent of the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bid Advances then outstanding, and such deemed use of the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be applied to the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments; provided, however, that any Lender’s Competitive Bid Advances shall not otherwise reduce that Lender’s obligation to lend its pro rata share of the remaining available Commitments.
(b)Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing. Any Borrower may request a Competitive Bid Borrowing under this Section 2.07 by delivering to the Administrative Agent, by email or telecopier, a notice of a Competitive Bid Borrowing (a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”), in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto, specifying therein the following:

A Borrower requesting a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall deliver a Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) (x) at least two Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, if such Borrower shall specify in the Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing that the Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be Fixed Rate Bid Advances, or (y) at least four Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, if such Borrower shall specify in the Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing that the Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be Floating Rate Bid Advances. Each Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on such Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify each Lender of each request for a Competitive Bid Borrowing received by it from such Borrower by sending such Lender a copy of the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(c)Discretion as to Competitive Bid Advances. Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to irrevocably offer to make one or more Competitive Bid Advances to the applicable Borrower as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Lender in its sole discretion, by





notifying the Administrative Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to such Borrower), before 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) (A) 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) 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; provided that, if the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify such Borrower of such offer at least 30 minutes before the time and on the date on which notice of such election is to be given by any other Lender to the Administrative Agent. In such notice, the Lender shall specify the following:
(i)the minimum amount and maximum amount of each Competitive Bid Advance which such Lender would be willing to make as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.07(a), exceed such Lender’s Commitment);
(ii)the rate or rates of interest therefor; and
(iii)such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office with respect to such Competitive Bid Advance.
If any Lender shall elect not to make such an offer, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent before 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which notice of such election is to be given to the Administrative Agent by the other Lenders, and such Lender shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; provided further that the failure by any Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Lender to be obligated to make any Competitive Bid Advance as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(d)Selection of Lender Bids. 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:
(i)cancel such Competitive Bid Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent notice to that effect, or
(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 this 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.

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.
(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 $25,000,000 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 and Letter of Credit Exposure 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 order of the Lender 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 except 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 Kraft Foods Group and the applicable Borrowers and Lenders of each such LIBO Rate.
(b)Role of Reference Banks. In the event that the LIBO Rate cannot be determined by the method described in clause (a) of the definition of “LIBO Rate,” each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent timely information for the purpose of determining the LIBO Rate in accordance with the method described in clause (b) of the definition thereof. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of determining a LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. If fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Administrative Agent for determining the LIBO Rate for any LIBO Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances, as the case may be, then:
(i)the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to Kraft Foods Group and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.04(a)(i) or (ii) and the rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate under Section 2.04(a)(ii) or the applicable LIBO Rate.
(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 Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group 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)Unused Line Fee. Kraft Foods Group agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s undrawn Commitment (without giving effect to any Competitive Bid Reduction) 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 Unused Line 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.
(b)Other Fees. Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group and the Administrative Agent or the Joint Lead Arrangers.
(c)Letter of Credit Fees, Etc.
(i) Kraft Foods Group shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (including each Issuing Bank) a fee, payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing June 30, 2014, and on the Termination Date, on such Lender’s ratable share (based on its Commitment) of the average daily amount of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures during such quarter at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Interest Rate Margin for LIBO Rate Advances. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.04.
(ii) Kraft Foods Group shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account a fronting fee, payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing June 30, 2014, and on the Termination Date, on the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the average daily amount of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at the rate of 0.125 % per annum or such other rate as may be agreed by Kraft Foods Group and such Issuing Bank.

This Section 2.09(c)(iii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
SECTION 2. 10     Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments and Extension of Termination Date. (a) Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. Kraft Foods Group shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Paying 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 $25,000,000 or the remaining balance if less than $25,000,000; 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 and Letter of Credit Exposures then outstanding.
(b)Extension of Termination Date. (i) At least 30 days but not more than 45 days prior to each anniversary of the Effective Date (any such applicable anniversary of the Effective Date, the “Extension Date”), Kraft Foods Group, by written notice to the Paying Agent, may request that each Lender extend the Termination





Date for such Lender’s Commitment for an additional one or two year period as set forth in such notice from the Borrower.
(ii)The Paying Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request and each Lender shall then, in its sole discretion, notify Kraft Foods Group and the Paying 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 Paying 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 or two year period as requested; 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) the Termination Date following any such extension shall not be a date that is more than five (5) years after the applicable Extension Date.

(v)Kraft Foods Group shall be permitted to require that any Non-Extending Lender assign its Commitments to an Extending Lender or 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, Advances and Letter of Credit Exposure to the applicable replacement Lender or Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.07 (provided that Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group, the Borrower, the Paying 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, Kraft Foods Group and the Paying 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 Paying 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.





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 $25,000,000 or the remaining balance if less than $25,000,000 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 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 or participating in any Letter of Credit (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) and (ii) taxes referred to in Section 2.15(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v)), then the Borrower of the affected Advances or Letter of Credit 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 Kraft Foods Group, such Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(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 determination 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 Kraft Foods Group shall pay to such Lender within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by Kraft Foods Group of demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), 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.
(d)Requests for Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs or reductions if such Lender fails to notify such Borrower within 180 days after it obtains actual knowledge (or, in the exercise of ordinary due diligence, should have obtained actual knowledge) and such Lender shall only be entitled to receive such compensation for any losses incurred by it or amounts to which it would otherwise be entitled from and after the date 180 days prior to the date such Lender provided notice thereof to such Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s claim for compensation therefor.
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 Kraft Foods Group 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.
SECTION 2.14    Payments and Computations.
(a)Time and Distribution of Payments. Kraft Foods Group and each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, without condition or deduction for any set-off, counterclaim, defense or recoupment, 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 Unused Line 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 Unused





Line 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 Unused Line 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 Unused Line 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 Unused Line 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.
SECTION 2.15     Taxes.
(a)Any and all payments by each Borrower 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 its net income, 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 its net income, 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 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 taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA, and (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 Kraft Foods Group (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments by each Borrower hereunder or under any Note, other than taxes referred to in this Section 2.15(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), 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 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 (as the case may be) 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.
(b)In addition, each Borrower or Kraft Foods Group 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 (iv)) 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 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 reasonable 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; provided, that if an applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) fails to provide notice to the Borrower of the imposition of any Taxes or Other Taxes within sixty (60) days following the actual receipt of written notice from the applicable Governmental Authority of the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes, there will be no obligation for the Borrower to make a payment to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) in respect of any related penalties, interest, additions to taxes and reasonable expenses attributable to the period beginning after such 60th day and ending ten days after the Borrower receives notice from the Lender or the Administrative Agent. The Borrower will not have an obligation to make a payment to an applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) in respect of any portion of any penalties, interest, additions to taxes and reasonable expenses that are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be).
(d)As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, each Borrower and Kraft Foods Group 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, Kraft Foods Group and each applicable Borrower with any form or certificate that is required by any United States 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 a participating Lender that transfers its beneficial ownership through a participation), 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 Kraft Foods Group, 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 Kraft Foods Group or 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 Kraft





Foods Group or such Borrower of its inability to do so. Unless such Borrower, Kraft Foods Group 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, Kraft Foods Group or the Administrative Agent shall withhold such taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for such Lender and such Borrower or Kraft Foods Group 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, 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, provide each of the Administrative Agent, Kraft Foods Group and each applicable Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including, if applicable, Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, Kraft Foods Group or the applicable Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent, Kraft Foods Group 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, Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group, 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)No additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 with respect to any Tax to the extent such Tax would not have been payable had the Lender fulfilled its obligations under paragraph (e), (f) or (g) of this Section 2.15 as applicable.
(j)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.





(k)For purposes of this Section 2,15, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.
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)) or funded participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Pro Rata Advances or participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Pro Rata Advances and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements 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 the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender.
(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)Kraft Foods Group 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 and each Issuing Bank), executed by Kraft Foods Group 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 or one or more tranches of term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan”) 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”; and any Commitment Increase or issuance of incremental term loans on any single occasion, each, an “ Increase”), in an amount for each Augmenting Lender set forth in such notice; provided that (i) the amount of each 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 Increases shall not exceed $1,000,000,000. Each Augmenting Lender (if not then a Lender) shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Commitment Increase, each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall not be subject to the approval of any other Lenders, and Kraft Foods Group and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment or Incremental Term Loans of such Augmenting Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder (such documentation in respect of any Increase together with the notice of such Increase being referred to collectively as the “Increase Amendment” in respect of such Increase). The 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.
(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)Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall become effective on the date specified in the notice delivered by Kraft Foods Group pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a) above or on such other date as shall be agreed upon by Kraft Foods Group, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Augmenting Lenders.
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Increase 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 Kraft Foods Group to that effect dated such date.
(e)The Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Advances, and (b) shall have identical terms as the Advances; provided that (i) the Incremental Term Loans may mature and amortize differently than the Advances, and the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Maturity Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Maturity Date and (ii) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the Advances.
SECTION 2.19     Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and Letters of Credit shall be available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for general corporate purposes of Kraft Foods Group 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);
(b)the Commitment, Advances and Letter of Credit Exposure 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;
(c)if any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)all or any part of the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective ratable shares (based upon Commitments) but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ unpaid principal amount of Advances plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments (minus such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Letter of Credit Exposure) as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 are satisfied at such time; provided, that the respective allocations of each non-Defaulting Lender shall not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment;
(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.21(h)(i) for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding; provided that neither any such reallocation (partial or otherwise) described in clause (i) above or this clause (ii), nor any payment by a non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a non-Defaulting Lender;
(iii)if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv)if the Letter of Credit Exposures of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ ratable shares (based upon Commitments); and
(v)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Lender hereunder, all fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.09(a) (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such Letter of Credit Exposure) and Letter of Credit participation fees payable under Section 2.09(c)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks, ratably based on the portion of such Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank, until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above; and





(d)so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure will be 100% covered by the Letter of Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(c)(ii), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and Kraft Foods Group 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 and the Letter of Credit Exposures of the Lenders shall be adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Letter of Credit Commitment as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Pro Rata Advances and Letter of Credit Exposure in accordance with its pro rata portion of the total Commitments and clauses (a) and (b) above shall cease to apply.
SECTION 2.21 Issuance of, and Drawings and Reimbursement Under, Letters of Credit.
(a)[Reserved]
(b)Request for Issuance. Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies may be issued hereunder in a Dollar Equivalent Amount that does not at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit exceed the aggregate Commitments minus the sum of the aggregate outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit Exposures of the Lenders at such time, provided that (A) no Issuing Bank shall be required at any time to issue a Letter of Credit that would result in (x) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures exceeding $300,000,000, or (y) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank exceeding such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment and (B) to the extent Barclays Bank PLC is an Issuing Bank, Barclays Bank PLC shall only be obligated to issue standby Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank. Each such notice by any Borrower of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit G attached hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) face amount of such Letter of Credit (which must be in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), (iii) expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall be on or prior to the earlier of (A) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the applicable Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a period of up to twelve (12) months (but not to a date later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the immediately succeeding proviso), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary and the Borrower in advance of any such renewal; providedfurther that, with the prior consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, in its sole discretion, a Letter of Credit may be extended beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Termination Date (each such Letter of Credit with an expiration date that is later than five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, a “Post-Maturity Letter of Credit”) so long as the Borrower shall Post-Maturity Cash Collateralize in accordance with Section 2.21(h)(ii) any Post-Maturity Letter of Credit); providedfurther that no Letter of Credit may expire after the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date in respect of any Non-Extending Lenders under Section 2.10(b) if, after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Commitments of the Extending Lenders (including any New Lenders) for the period following such Termination Date would be less than the Letter of Credit Exposure following such Termination Date), (iv) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (v) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for Letter of Credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the applicable Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (including, in connection with the issuance of a Post-Maturity Letter of Credit or the renewal of a Letter of





Credit, such that, after giving effect to such renewal, such Letter of Credit becomes a Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, such documentation, including a reimbursement agreement, as such Issuing Bank may reasonably require in connection with such issuance or renewal) (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). Upon receipt of a Notice of Issuance, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure in respect of such Letter of Credit. If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the applicable Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the applicable Borrower in connection with such issuance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Credit Agreement, a Letter of Credit issued hereunder may contain a statement to the effect that such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Subsidiary of Kraft Foods Group; provided, that notwithstanding such statement, the applicable Borrower shall be the actual account party for all purposes of this Credit Agreement for such Letter of Credit and such statement shall not affect the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. A Borrower may from time to time request that Letters of Credit be issued in Dollars or any Alternative Currency. Any request for a Letter of Credit in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than twenty (20) Business Days (or such other date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks, in their sole discretion) prior to the date of the desired issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in the requested currency. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Issuing Bank thereof. Each Issuing Bank shall confirm to the Administrative Agent not later than ten (10) Business Days (or such other date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks, in their sole discretion) after receipt of such request that it can issue a Letter of Credit in the requested Alternative Currency (it being understood that no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue a Letter of Credit in the event that such issuance would or could reasonably be expected to breach, violate or otherwise be inconsistent with any internal policy, law or regulation to which such Issuing Bank is, or would be upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, subject, or if the Alternative Currency is not available to such Issuing Bank). Any failure by an Issuing Bank to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a denial by such Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency. If one or more Issuing Banks confirms the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower. If no Issuing Bank is able to issue a Letter of Credit in an additional currency under this Section 2.21(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower.
(c)Issuing Bank Reports. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the Dollar Equivalent Amount thereof shall have changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to effect any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Letters of Credit issued by it without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such increase is then permitted under this Agreement, (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any Letter of Credit Disbursement, the date and the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse a Letter of Credit Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(d)Participations in Letters of Credit. Except as otherwise described in Section 2.21(h)(ii) in connection with Letters of Credit issued or extended on or after the Cash Collateralization Date, upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit by any Issuing Bank under Section 2.21(b), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit in the amount





for each Lender equal to such Lender’s ratable share (based on its Commitment) of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.
(e)Drawings Under Letters of Credit; Reimbursement; Interim Interest. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and each other Lender as to the Dollar Equivalent Amount to be paid as a result of such demand or drawing and the payment date. The applicable Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank, by no later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day that such Borrower receives notice of such drawing, in the applicable currency for any amounts paid by the Issuing Bank upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Advance in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Advance. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such reimbursement payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Lender’s ratable share thereof (based on its Commitment). Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the Dollar Equivalent Amount of its ratable share (based on its Commitment) of the Unreimbursed Amount, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Advances made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders in Dollars or, if requested by such Issuing Bank, the equivalent amount thereof in the applicable Alternative Currency as determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined as of such funding date) for the purchase of such Alternative Currency with Dollars. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.21(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.21(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit Disbursement shall not constitute an Advance and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such Letter of Credit Disbursement. All such amounts paid by the Issuing Bank (whether or not the Dollar Equivalent Amount of their ratable shares, based on Commitments, of such amounts have been paid to the Issuing Bank by the Lenders as provided above) and remaining unpaid by the applicable Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day plus, if such amount remains unpaid for more than three Business Days, 1%. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Lenders shall not have any obligation to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit Disbursement made under any Post-Maturity Letter of Credit that occurs on or after the Termination Date.
(f)Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrowers under Section 2.21(e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the following circumstances:
(i) any lack of enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument, in each case, relating thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”)
(ii) the use that may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting);





(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights that the applicable Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting), the Lenders (including the Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;
(v) payment under a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit against presentation to the Issuing Bank of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; provided that the determination by the Issuing Bank to make such payment shall not have been the result of its willful misconduct or gross negligence;
(vi) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the applicable Borrower or the relevant currency markets generally;
(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Lender (including the Issuing Bank), the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this clause (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder; or
(viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers.
None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, or any of their affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the applicable Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g)Additional Issuing Banks. Kraft Foods Group may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this Section 2.21(g) shall, upon entering into a Letter of Credit Agreement with the Borrower, be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) hereunder.





(h)Cash Collateralization. (i) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that Kraft Foods Group receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Advances has been accelerated, Lenders with aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures representing greater than 50% of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21(h)(i), the Borrowers shall deposit (“Cash Collateralize”) in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to Cash Collateralize shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Kraft Foods Group described in Section 6.01(e). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures at such time or, if the maturity of the Advances has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with Letter of Credit Exposures representing greater than 50% of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the applicable Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
(ii) If any Post-Maturity Letters of Credit remain outstanding as of the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date (such date being referred to herein as the “Cash Collateralization Date”), the Borrower shall, on the Cash Collateralization Date, deposit (“Post-Maturity Cash Collateralize”) in an account with each Issuing Bank that has issued any such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, in the name of such Issuing Bank and for the benefit of such Issuing Bank and, prior to the Termination Date, the Lenders (each, an “Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 102% of the aggregate amount (as determined in accordance with Section 1.04) of all outstanding Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. In addition, if (x) a Borrower requests that a Post-Maturity Letter of Credit be issued, or a Letter of Credit be renewed (or if any Letter of Credit is automatically renewed for an additional one-year period), such that, after giving effect to such renewal, such Letter of Credit becomes a Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, by an Issuing Bank after the Cash Collateralization Date but before the Termination Date and (y) such Issuing Bank agrees to issue such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit or renew such Letter of Credit, then, as a condition to such issuance or renewal, the applicable Borrower shall deposit in such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 102% of the amount (as determined in accordance with Section 1.04) of such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit to be renewed, as applicable. Any such deposits pursuant to this Section 2.21(h)(ii) shall be held by each applicable Issuing Bank in its Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank under each Post-Maturity Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank shall have exclusive dominion and control, as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over its Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of each Issuing Bank and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in each Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the applicable Issuing Bank to reimburse such Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank in respect of Post-Maturity Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed, fees related to such Post-





Maturity Letters of Credit and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse such Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank in respect of Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. If an Issuing Bank has issued more than one Post-Maturity Letter of Credit for which cash collateral was provided pursuant to this Section 2.21(h)(ii), upon the cancellation, surrender, or payment of any such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit shall promptly release cash collateral to the applicable Borrower equal to the difference between (A) the total available funds in such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account and (B) 102% of the aggregate amount (as determined in accordance with Section 1.04) of all Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank that remain outstanding. Promptly after the cancellation, surrender, or payment of all Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank for which cash collateral was provided pursuant to this Section 2.21(h)(ii), such Issuing Bank shall return to the applicable Borrower all available funds, if any, in such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account. This Section 2.21(h)(ii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 7.03 The Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment and the Advances made by it and any Letter of Credit issued 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”, “Lenders”, “Issuing Bank” and “Issuing Banks” 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 any Borrower, any of their respective Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Kraft Foods Group, 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.
SECTION 7.04 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation 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.

SECTION 7.05 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Pro Rata Advances or Letter of Credit Disbursements then owing to each of them (or if no Pro Rata Advances or Letter of Credit Disbursements 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 or such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank under this Agreement, in each case, to the extent relating to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank 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 or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank 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 or such Issuing Bank is not reimbursed for such expenses by Kraft Foods Group or the other 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 Issuing Bank, 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 Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group 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.

Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Bank PLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and RBS Securities Inc. have been designated as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners 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,

Each Lender shall promptly notify the appropriate Borrower and Administrative Agent 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.

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 Kraft Foods Group.
(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 amount 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 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by 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:

(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 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 Kraft Foods Group’s or the relevant Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances, Letters of Credit 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. Without limiting or expanding any Lender’s obligations under Section 2.15(e), 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, Loans, or its other Obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, 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.

(g)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, (iv) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender or (v) Kraft Foods Group shall have identified existing Lenders or New Lenders to assume the Commitments of any Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.10(b), Kraft Foods Group shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) except in the case of clause (v), 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 Kraft Foods Group and approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), 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 and funded participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder. Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group to require such termination or assignment cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that, if Kraft Foods Group 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.
SECTION 9.08 Designated Subsidiaries.
(a)Designation. Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group 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 Kraft Foods Group). 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 Kraft Foods Group 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.
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 nonexclusive 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 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 Borrower 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 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 or to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Notes in the courts of any jurisdiction.





(b)Appointment of Process Agent. Kraft Foods Group 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 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 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. Kraft Foods Group 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.
(ii)To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks 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 Letter of Credit 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.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Background and Basis of Presentation
Background and Basis of Presentation
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and operating results.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet data at December 28, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. You should read these statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued an accounting standard update ("ASU") that modifies the criteria for reporting the disposal of a component of an entity as discontinued operations. In addition, the ASU requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. The ASU will be effective for all disposals of components of an entity that occur during our fiscal year 2015 and thereafter. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, an entity will apply a principles-based five step model to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU will be effective beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial statements.
Subsequent Events:
We evaluate subsequent events and reflect accounting and disclosure requirements related to material subsequent events in our financial statements and related notes. We did not identify any material subsequent events impacting our financial statements in this report.

New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued an accounting standard update ("ASU") that modifies the criteria for reporting the disposal of a component of an entity as discontinued operations. In addition, the ASU requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. The ASU will be effective for all disposals of components of an entity that occur during our fiscal year 2015 and thereafter. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, an entity will apply a principles-based five step model to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU will be effective beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial statements.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent Events:
We evaluate subsequent events and reflect accounting and disclosure requirements related to material subsequent events in our financial statements and related notes. We did not identify any material subsequent events impacting our financial statements in this report.

Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of commodity futures and options contracts and are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of commodity forwards and foreign exchange forwards. Commodity forwards are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign exchange forwards are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

Commitments, Contingencies and Debt
Legal Proceedings:
We are routinely involved in legal proceedings, claims, and governmental inquiries, inspections or investigations (“Legal Matters”) arising in the ordinary course of our business.
We have been advised by the staff of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) that they are investigating activities related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts. These activities arose prior to the Spin-Off and involve the business now owned and operated by Mondelēz International or its affiliates. We are cooperating with the staff in its investigation. While the staff has advised us that they are prepared to recommend that the Commission consider commencing a formal action, we and Mondelēz International are seeking to resolve this matter prior to any formal action being taken. Our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Mondelēz International dated as of September 27, 2012, governs the allocation between Kraft and Mondelēz International and, accordingly, Mondelēz International will predominantly bear the costs of this matter and any monetary penalties or other payments that the CFTC may impose. We do not expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
While we cannot predict with certainty the results of Legal Matters in which we are currently involved or may in the future be involved, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve any of the Legal Matters that are currently pending will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Third-Party Guarantees:
We have third-party guarantees primarily covering long-term obligations related to leased properties. The carrying amounts of our third-party guarantees was $22 million at June 28, 2014 and $24 million at December 28, 2013. The maximum potential payment under these guarantees was $49 million at June 28, 2014 and $53 million at December 28, 2013. Substantially all of these guarantees expire at various times through 2027.
Total Debt:     
On May 29, 2014, we entered into a new $3.0 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires on May 29, 2019 unless extended. The credit facility enables us to borrow up to $3.0 billion, which may be increased by up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate with the agreement of the lenders providing the increased commitments. The credit facility includes borrowing capacity in the form of letters of credit up to $300 million. The credit facility requires us to maintain a minimum total shareholders’ equity (excluding certain items) of at least $2.4 billion and also contains customary representations, covenants, and events of default. At June 28, 2014, no amounts were drawn on this credit facility. The credit facility replaced our $3.0 billion five-year credit agreement dated as of May 18, 2012. We expect to use the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including for working capital purposes and to support our commercial paper issuances.
Fair Value of our Debt:
The fair value of our long-term debt was determined using Level 1 quoted prices in active markets. At June 28, 2014, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $11.0 billion as compared with the carrying value of $10.0 billion.

Non-amortizing intangible assets consist primarily of indefinite-lived trademarks. Amortizing intangible assets consist primarily of process technology agreements. At June 28, 2014, the weighted average life of our amortizing intangible assets was 5.8 years. Amortization expense was insignificant for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013. We currently estimate annual amortization expense to be insignificant for each of the next five years.
During our 2013 intangible asset impairment review, we noted that a $261 million trademark within our Enhancers business had an excess fair value over its carrying value of 12%. While this trademark passed the first step of the impairment test, if the trademark's forecasted operating income were to decline significantly, the estimated fair value of the trademark could be adversely affected, leading to a potential impairment of a portion of the trademark in the future. No events occurred during the six months ended June 28, 2014 that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]  
Stock Plans
Stock Plans
Under the Kraft Foods Group, Inc. 2012 Performance Incentive Plan, we may grant eligible employees awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as well as performance based long-term incentive awards (“Performance Shares”).
Stock Options:
In February 2014, as part of our equity compensation program, we granted 2.3 million stock options to eligible employees at an exercise price of $55.17 per share. During the six months ended June 28, 2014, we also granted an additional 0.1 million stock options to eligible employees at a weighted average exercise price of $54.77 per share. During the six months ended June 28, 2014, 2.4 million stock options were exercised with a total intrinsic value of $61 million.
Restricted Stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares:
In aggregate, we granted 1.5 million RSUs and Performance Shares during the six months ended June 28, 2014 at a weighted average market value per share of $56.81.
In February 2014, as part of our equity compensation program:
We granted 0.5 million RSUs at a market value of $55.17 per share.
We granted 0.8 million Performance Shares at a grant date fair value of $59.97 per share. These awards measure performance over a multi-year period, during which the employee may earn shares based on internal financial metrics and the performance of our stock relative to a defined peer group. We measured the grant date fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which assists in estimating the probability of achieving the market conditions stipulated in the award grant.
We granted 0.1 million additional Performance Shares with a weighted average market value of $34.37 per share (based on the original 2011 award date), which vested immediately. We granted these shares based on the final business performance rating for the 2011-2013 award cycle. These shares were adjusted and converted into new equity awards using a formula designed to preserve the value of the awards immediately prior to the Spin-Off.
During the six months ended June 28, 2014, we also granted 0.1 million additional RSUs at a weighted average market value per share of $55.78.
During the six months ended June 28, 2014, 1.1 million shares of restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares vested at an aggregate market value of $59 million.

Restructuring Program:
Our Restructuring Program includes the following:
Approximately $270 million of restructuring costs that qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities.
Approximately $285 million of implementation costs that are directly attributable to the Restructuring Program, but do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. These costs primarily relate to reorganization costs associated with our sales function, our information systems infrastructure, and accelerated depreciation on assets.
Approximately $70 million of transition costs related to our spin-off from Mondelēz International, Inc. ("Mondelēz International") on October 1, 2012 (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off transition costs have not been allocated to the segments because they consist mostly of professional service fees within our finance, legal, and information systems functions.
We expect approximately one-half of the total Restructuring Program costs will be cash expenditures.
At June 28, 2014, we have incurred Restructuring Program costs of $591 million since the inception of the Restructuring Program. We have spent $280 million in cash. We spent cash related to our Restructuring Program of $8 million in the three months and $19 million in the six months ended June 28, 2014 and $30 million in the three months and $70 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013. We did not incur any non-cash costs in the three or six months ended June 28, 2014. We incurred non-cash costs of $47 million in the three months and $118 million in the six months ended June 29, 2013. We expect to complete the Restructuring Program by the end of 2014.
Restructuring Costs Liability:

At June 28, 2014, we had approximately 0.4 million shares of restricted stock outstanding that were issued to current and former employees. There were no preferred shares issued and outstanding at June 28, 2014 or December 28, 2013.
On December 17, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized a $3.0 billion share repurchase program with no expiration date. Under the share repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of share repurchases are subject to management's evaluation of market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares of our common stock and may suspend the program at our discretion. In the three months ended June 28, 2014, we repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares for approximately $115 million under this program. Approximately $3 million of the $115 million was accrued at June 28, 2014 and subsequently settled in July 2014. As of June 28, 2014, we have repurchased approximately 4.2 million shares for approximately $239 million under this program since its inception.

We remeasure all of our postemployment benefit plans at least annually at the end of our fiscal year. As a result of the December 28, 2013 remeasurement, we capitalized an aggregate benefit of $34 million from market-based impacts related to our pension plans into inventory consistent with our capitalization policy. The entire $34 million of benefit previously capitalized has been recognized in cost of sales and is included in actuarial (gains) / losses in the table above for the six months ended June 28, 2014. We have not remeasured any of our postemployment benefit plans in 2014.
In the second quarter of 2013, as a result of our voluntary early retirement program, we were required to remeasure certain of our U.S. pension plans. This remeasurement resulted in a benefit from market-based impacts of $603 million as of June 29, 2013, primarily driven by an 80 basis point increase in the discount rate. We recorded $350 million of the benefit from market-based impacts in cost of sales and $253 million in selling, general and administrative expenses. The $603 million benefit from market-based impacts as of June 29, 2013 is reflected in actuarial (gains) / losses in the tables above.
The 2013 special termination benefits were associated with our voluntary early retirement program and were included in our Restructuring Program costs.
Employer Contributions:
During the six months ended June 28, 2014, we contributed $19 million to our U.S. pension plans and $8 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. Based on our contribution strategy, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $140 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $35 million to our non-U.S. plans during the remainder of 2014. However, our actual contributions may differ due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, tax deductibility, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates, or other factors.

Segment Reporting
We manufacture and market food and beverage products, including cheese, refrigerated meals, refreshment beverages, coffee, and other grocery products, primarily in the United States and Canada. We manage and report our operating results through six reportable segments: Cheese, Refrigerated Meals, Beverages, Meals & Desserts, Enhancers & Snack Nuts, and Canada. Our remaining businesses, including our Foodservice and Exports businesses, are aggregated and disclosed as “Other Businesses”.
Management uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes the following for all periods presented:
Unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales) in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Once realized, the gains and losses on hedging activities are recorded within segment operating results.
Certain components of our postemployment benefit plans (which are a component of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses) because we centrally manage postemployment benefit plan funding decisions and the determination of discount rates, expected rate of return on plan assets, and other actuarial assumptions.
General corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses).
Furthermore, we centrally manage interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measures that management reviews.
