1.3 If such Product to be manufactured by External Manufacturer is to be kosher Product, External Manufacturer shall obtain kosher certification from a certifying agency acceptable to Kraft.

2. Term and Termination

2.1 This Agreement shall be effective as of [•], 2008 and shall continue through and including [•], 2009 (the “Initial Term”).² Three (3) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, Kraft shall notify External Manufacturer that this Agreement shall renew for a single one-year period (a “Renewal Term”), subject to earlier termination pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2.

2.2 Kraft shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause and without penalty, upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to External Manufacturer.

2.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, either party may immediately terminate this Agreement or any Project Agreement if a “Default” (as defined below) by the other party has occurred and is continuing by giving written notice thereof to the defaulting party. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.5 hereof, termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the parties of any obligation accruing with respect to this Agreement prior to such termination. The term “Default” shall mean any of the following:

(i) failure by a party to comply with or to perform any material provision or condition of this Agreement for ten (10) days after written notice thereof to such party, or if such

² Insert dates consistent with one-year term.

- 2 -

breach or default is of a nature that cannot be remedied within ten (10) days, failure by a party to commence curing such breach or default within ten (10) days of written notice and to proceed thereafter with due diligence and good faith to complete the curing as soon as possible but in no event later than sixty (60) days from the date of written notice, provided, however, that in the event of a breach or default by External Manufacturer that cannot be remedied within ten (10) days of written notice, Kraft shall be entitled to utilize alternate suppliers for any Product during the up to sixty (60) days cure period, and such right to cover shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement or the Project Agreement for the Product, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in said agreements;

(ii) a party becomes insolvent, is unable to pay its debts as they mature or is the subject of a petition in bankruptcy, whether voluntary or involuntary, or of any other proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws; or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or is named in, or its property is subject to a suit for appointment of a receiver; or is dissolved or liquidated;

(iii) any representation or warranty made in this Agreement is materially breached, materially false, or misleading in any material respect; or

(iv) External Manufacturer or any product or service of External shall be the subject of adverse publicity, which in the reasonable judgment of Kraft is or is likely to be materially detrimental to Kraft or the intended purpose of the Agreement.

In the event of such termination, and subject to the provisions of Article 17, the non-defaulting party shall be entitled to pursue any remedy provided in law or equity, including injunctive relief and the right to recover any damages it may have suffered by reason of such Default.

2.4 If External Manufacturer shall fail to comply with any of its material obligations three (3) or more times in any consecutive 12-month period, such repeated failures shall in and of themselves constitute a Default hereunder and shall constitute grounds for immediate termination, regardless of the corrections of such failures.

2.5 In addition to any remedies set forth in the Project Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, Kraft shall only be liable for (a) any confirmed orders or maximum inventory levels as defined in each Project Agreement and (b) the cost of the Materials obtained by External Manufacturer as per each Project Agreement which cannot be used by External Manufacturer in its other products. Also, inventory levels shall be maintained by External Manufacturer in accordance with guidelines shown in each Project Agreement.

2.6 Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights, obligations, and causes of action accruing hereunder prior to such termination shall survive and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be controlling for the purpose of determining the rights of the parties hereto. The waiver or repeated waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not be deemed a waiver of a future breach.

2.7 The provisions of Articles 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 17 and 20 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

3. Confidentiality

3.1 For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all information related to the business (including but not limited to the Business) or products (including but not limited to the Products) of a party (or its parent or affiliate companies, suppliers or customers), including, but not limited to, drawings, models, engineering and design specifications, inventions, know-how, processes, formulations, research and development, manufacturing information, brands, business and marketing plans, customers’, contractors’ and subcontractors’ names, expertise of employees and consultants, design concepts, financial data, customer and product development plans, forecasts, strategies, analytics, concepts, letters of intent and contracts that a party (or its parent or affiliate companies) discloses to the other party (or its parent or affiliate companies), directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, electronically, or by observation or any other form of communication or detection.

3.2 The receiving party will keep the Confidential Information obtained from the disclosing party strictly confidential and will not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party except pursuant to the requirements of this Article, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to advise its employees of the obligations regarding confidentiality contained in this Agreement to the extent and in the manner that the receiving party would advise employees of such obligations under its normal procedures. The receiving party further agrees not to use the Confidential Information provided by the disclosing party for any purpose other than the purposes contemplated by this Agreement.

3.3 The obligations of this Article shall not apply to any portion of Confidential Information which (i) was generally available to the public at the time of disclosure to the receiving party, (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of an action of the receiving party subsequent to the disclosure to the receiving party, (iii) was available to the receiving party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the disclosing party as demonstrated by the receiving party’s written records, (iv) becomes available to the receiving party from a source other than the disclosing party without violating any obligation of confidentiality, or (v) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the Confidential Information.

3.4 In the event that the receiving party is required by applicable law to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information, the receiving party will provide the disclosing party with prompt notice of such request so that the disclosing party may seek an appropriate protective order. If such a protective order is not obtained, the receiving party agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which it is advised by its counsel is legally required. The receiving party will provide a copy of any Confidential Information which is being disclosed pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the disclosing party prior to disclosing such Confidential Information to a third party.

3.5 At the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the receiving party will return to the disclosing party or destroy all Confidential Information which was provided in writing to

- 4 -

the receiving party by the disclosing party, together with any copies made thereof, except for such Confidential Information as required to execute this Agreement. If the disclosing party requests that Confidential Information be destroyed, the receiving party will confirm such destruction in writing. The receiving party will be entitled to retain solely for archival purposes any notes, memoranda, analyses or other documents prepared by the receiving party which contain or reflect Confidential Information provided by the disclosing party, subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement.

3.6 Each party agrees that money damages will not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement by it and that the other party is entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any such breach or threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.

3.7 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Article 3 shall supersede any prior confidentiality provisions and/or confidentiality agreements executed by the parties regarding the subject matter hereunder (other than the confidentiality provisions of any Project Agreements), except that any disclosures made thereunder shall be deemed made pursuant to this Article 3.

3.8 Kraft acknowledges that External Manufacturer may from time to time produce food products for third parties (“Other Co-Manufacturing Customers”). External Manufacturer shall satisfy its obligations under Section 3.1 with respect solely to preventing disclosures of any Kraft confidential and proprietary information to Other Co-Manufacturing Customers by virtue of their inspections of External Manufacturer’s facilities by restricting Other Co-Manufacturing Customers’ access to External Manufacturer’s facilities in a manner substantially the same as any restrictions imposed upon Kraft under this Agreement and any Project Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not in any way diminish or mitigate External Manufacturer’s obligations under this Article 3 to prevent the disclosure (whether verbally, in writing, or otherwise) of any Kraft confidential and proprietary information to any third parties.

4. Right of Inspection

4.1 At any time and from time to time during normal business hours and upon no less than forty-eight (48) hours prior notice (except in case of an emergency affecting the quality of the Product, in which case Kraft only needs to provide as much notice as reasonably practicable), Kraft (or Kraft’s representatives, including Kraft’s customers) shall have the right to inspect External Manufacturer’s plant and to review External Manufacturer’s records pertaining only to the Product and the services provided hereunder to the extent necessary to protect Kraft’s rights under this Agreement and External Manufacturer agrees that representatives of Kraft shall have access to the portion of External Manufacturer’s premises that produces or handles Product pursuant to a Project Agreement for the purpose of inspecting the Product prior to delivery to Kraft. If such inspection and/or review by Kraft (or Kraft’s representatives, including Kraft’s customers) reveals that the processes, procedures, practices or the like used by External Manufacturer with respect to its services hereunder fail to conform to the requirements of this Agreement and each Project Agreement, as applicable, External Manufacturer shall immediately

- 5 -

take appropriate corrective actions (which may include suspension of External Manufacturer’s services hereunder or under any Project Agreement but which does not include capital spending other than capital spending reasonably necessary to maintain the portion of External Manufacturer’s premises wherein Products are produced or handled under a Project Agreement in a condition substantially the same as at the date of such Project Agreement and/or as required by the applicable laws and regulations set forth herein), at Kraft’s direction, until External Manufacturer can show to Kraft’s satisfaction that External Manufacturer’s non-conforming activities have been corrected.

4.2 Kraft shall be under no obligation to undertake such inspection and, whether or not Kraft inspects the Product or facilities, it shall not affect or release External Manufacturer from any of the obligations provided herein and none of the obligations of External Manufacturer with respect to the Product shall be affected or released by Kraft’s acceptance of delivery of the Product or by any inspection hereof or by payment therefor.

4.3 External Manufacturer shall have systems in place to ensure compliance with Kraft Supplier/Copacker Quality Expectations (published [•]) and Kraft Supplier/External Manufacturer HACCP Standard (published [•]), as may be amended from time to time (collectively the “Guidelines”), which are hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. Any conflict between the Guidelines and this Agreement shall be resolved in favor of this Agreement. In the event any amendment to the Guidelines (other than any amendment required as a result of any change in the applicable laws and regulations set forth herein) would require capital spending by External Manufacturer to fully implement, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith at such time the allocation of any such costs between the parties.

4.4 Upon 48 hours notice, Kraft may be represented on site by a representative during any production run of the Product. Kraft’s representative shall have the right to audit the portion of External Manufacturer’s operations that produces or handles Products under a Project Agreement for compliance with all provisions of this Agreement. Kraft’s representative shall have reasonable access, at all times, to all portions of the storage, production, and other facilities of External Manufacturer which are involved in or are committed to the production of the Product hereunder. The parties agree that in case of an emergency affecting the quality of the Product, Kraft’s representative shall have free access, upon notice to External Manufacturer, to those areas of External Manufacturer’s premises concerned with or affecting the processing or packaging of the Product to deal with such emergency. In the event an area of External Manufacturer’s premises concerned with or affecting the processing or packaging of the Product is restricted by a Confidentiality Agreement(s) between External Manufacturer and a third party, Kraft’s access to such area may be restricted to only Kraft employees and/or agents responsible for the quality of the Product.

5. Licenses. This Agreement shall not be construed to be or to contain an express or implied license by Kraft to External Manufacturer under any patents, patent applications, Kraft trademarks, trade name, label design, color combination, insignia, or other intellectual properties owned by Kraft. External Manufacturer agrees that it shall not use any such property of Kraft without Kraft’s prior written approval. External Manufacturer also agrees and acknowledges that Kraft is the owner of all trademarks and such other intellectual properties under which the Product will be packaged.

6.2 Kraft’s anticipated volume, if any, shall be defined in attachments to each Project Agreement, although the parties agree that Kraft has no obligation, nor has Kraft made any promise, representation, or guarantee to ensure any minimum volume level of the Product during the Term.

6.3 External Manufacturer agrees to work jointly with Kraft to continually improve upon quality, cost, service, customer and consumer related issues and opportunities as more fully identified in each Project Agreement.

6.4 Each party shall have the right to offset any amounts owed to the other party hereunder against any amounts the offsetting party owes to the other party hereunder.

6.5 Except as provided in each Project Agreement, for sales intended for export from Canada, Kraft shall provide External Manufacturer, in all applicable cases, with evidence of export required by Schedule VI, Part V of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and similar Ontario legislation to facilitate zero-rating of such sales. On sales that do not meet zero-rating requirements, including but not limited to sales to any Canadian subsidiary of Kraft shipped to Canadian locations, External Manufacturer shall charge all applicable sales taxes and Kraft or such Canadian subsidiary of Kraft as applicable shall provide External Manufacturer with any applicable purchase exemption certificates.

6.6 (i) The amounts to be paid to External Manufacturer under this Agreement are exclusive of any applicable taxes (“Tax” or “Taxes”) required by law to be collected from Kraft or otherwise applicable in respect of the supply (including withholding, sales, use, excise or services tax, which may be assessed on the Products). If a Tax is assessed or otherwise applicable in respect of the supply of the Products or any services performed by External Manufacturer hereunder, Kraft will in all events be fully responsible for such Tax, and will pay directly, reimburse or indemnify External Manufacturer for such Tax.

- 8 -

distribution of the Product. If External Manufacturer becomes aware of any information regarding the Product that may indicate a potential quality, safety or labeling defect or error, External Manufacturer shall, in addition to any notification required by law, notify Kraft immediately by personal contact to one of the people listed on attachments to each Project Agreement. Kraft in its sole discretion may modify such attachments from time to time.

In the event Unacceptable Product is determined by Kraft to be suitable for disposal only as waste, External Manufacturer shall replace all such Unacceptable Product to Kraft at no cost to Kraft and, in addition, reimburse Kraft for all reasonable costs of handling and/or disposal of such Product.

- 9 -

10.3 External Manufacturer agrees that it shall be liable to Kraft for all Unacceptable Product if such Product is unacceptable as a result of the Materials supplied to External Manufacturer by a third party supplier (including but not limited to a supplier approved or recommended by Kraft), or by External Manufacturer’s failure to comply with the Specifications and testing procedures as specified by Kraft from time to time.

10.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 10, External Manufacturer shall not be required to reimburse Kraft for Unacceptable Product to the extent the unacceptability resulted from Kraft’s negligence or willful misconduct in the handling of the Product or furnishing of the Materials to External Manufacturer or due to unacceptable Materials acquired by External Manufacturer under a Kraft supply contract and External Manufacturer has fully complied with the Specifications and testing procedures as specified by Kraft from time to time.

The disabled party shall make all reasonable efforts to remove such disability within forty-five (45) days of giving notice

- 12 -

of such disability. If the disability continues for more than ten (10) days after the cessation of the reason for such disability, the non-disabled party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice, and neither party shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as set forth in Article 2. During any period of disability as set forth in this Article 14, the non-disabled party may seek to have its needs, which would otherwise be met hereunder, met by others without liability to the disabled party hereunder.

15.1 External Manufacturer acknowledges that the services to be rendered by it to Kraft are unique and personal. Accordingly, External Manufacturer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to another party (including, but not limited to, the manufacturing/processing/packaging of the Product by a third party other than External Manufacturer) without the prior written consent of Kraft, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Kraft may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to another party without the prior written consent of External Manufacturer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Any such consent by Kraft or External Manufacturer does not relieve Kraft or External Manufacturer (as applicable) of any obligations hereunder including, but not limited to, its obligation to indemnify under Article 11 above.

15.7 Each party acknowledges that the other party may enter into similar agreements with third parties for goods and services similar to those which may be provided by External Manufacturer hereunder. Accordingly, each party agrees that the agreement between the parties hereto shall not be deemed exclusive except as set forth in any Project Agreement and that the other party may from time to time enter into similar agreements with third parties which may be the other party’s competitors with respect to the goods and services hereunder or other projects.

15.9 The failure or delay of either party to insist upon the other party’s strict performance of the provisions in this Agreement or to exercise in any respect any right, power, privilege or remedy provided for under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver or relinquishment thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; provided, however, that the obligations and duties of either party with respect to the performance of any term or condition in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. No express waiver shall be valid unless in a prior writing and signed by the party to be bound thereby.

17. Dispute Resolution

17.1 The parties hereto will attempt to settle any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement through consultation and negotiation in good faith and a spirit of mutual cooperation. However, at any time before or during such negotiations, or following any unsuccessful negotiations, either party may by written notice to the other demand that the dispute be submitted to mediation.

If the dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of any written demand for mediation, or within a longer time period to

- 15 -

which the parties may agree, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration. Such binding arbitration shall be conducted within the State of Delaware, in accordance with the then current CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes by a single arbitrator selected by mutual agreement of the parties within twenty (20) days after the date of submission of the dispute to binding arbitration, or in the absence of such agreement, such selection to be made by CPR in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 6 of the CPR Rules. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1-16 (as may be amended), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator is empowered to award attorney’s fees but is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover such damages with respect to any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

17.2 Nothing in this Agreement will prevent either party from resorting to judicial proceedings for the limited purpose of seeking a preliminary injunction or to avoid the barring of the claim under the applicable statute of limitations. In addition, resort by either party to negotiation, mediation or arbitration pursuant to this Agreement shall not be construed under the doctrine of laches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of either party to pursue any such judicial relief; provided, however, that irrespective of the filing of any such request for judicial relief the party shall continue to participate in the dispute resolution proceedings required by this paragraph. Any negotiation or mediation which takes place pursuant to this Agreement shall be confidential and shall be treated as a compromise and settlement negotiation for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and State rules of evidence.

17.3 Each of the parties hereto (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal court located in the State of Delaware or the Delaware Chancery Court in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware or the Delaware Chancery Court. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process in any other action relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself or its property, by the personal delivery of copies of such process to such party. Nothing in this Section 17 shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

- 16 -

18. No Public Disclosure. Neither party shall make any public statement, announcement or disclosure to third parties concerning the existence of this Agreement or its terms, the business relationship between the parties or the transactions contemplated hereby, without the prior written approval of the other party unless such disclosure is required by law, regulation, rule or legal process, in which case the disclosing party agrees to provide the non-disclosing party with prior notice of any such disclosure so that the non-disclosing party may, at its own expense and within its sole discretion, pursue an appropriate legal challenge to any such disclosure.

19. Superseded Agreements. The following agreements previously executed and/or agreed to by Kraft and External Manufacturer shall continue in full force and effect until they are reduced to Project Agreements:

20. Emulations. Kraft acknowledges that External Manufacturer produces a cracker product as of the date of this Agreement that is similar to the Nabisco branded Triscuit^® crackers to be produced under a Project Agreement, using a similar formula and External Manufacturer’s own technical know how (“Emulation”). External Manufacturer shall be entitled to continue producing Emulations provided such Emulation is not based on and does not use any of Kraft’s confidential and proprietary information, including without limitation any Kraft recipe, formula, processing technique or technical know how in whole or in part. The parties further agree that during the Term of this Agreement and for two (2) years thereafter, (the “Initial Restriction Period”) External Manufacturer shall not produce an Emulation of such Nabisco branded Triscuit^® crackers using the Equipment included in the Acquired Assets, and that for a further period of two (2) years after the expiration of the Initial Restriction Period, External Manufacturer shall not produce an Emulation of such Nabisco branded Triscuit^® crackers using any Equipment included in the Acquired Assets except upon the occurrence of, and during the continuation of, a force majeure event as defined in Section 14 hereof (and for a reasonable period after the cessation of such force majeure event not to exceed thirty (30) days) which results in a material reduction in External Manufacturer’s capacity to produce an Emulation of Nabisco branded Triscuit^® crackers on equipment located in its [Xxxxxxx (KY)] facility, provided that immediately upon termination of the force majeure event Ralcorp will use its commercially reasonable efforts to return Emulation production to its [Xxxxxxx (KY)] facility.
