The parties shall negotiate for the start up investment period a deferred initial due date or a reduced scale for the [***] payment.

FOURTH      GMI, NSA and CPW shall each have the right to bring before the CPW Supervisory Board the question of whether this Nestlé [***] Cereals business should be transferred to CPW or whether CPW should develop the ability to produce and sell ready-to-eat dry cereals similar to Nestlé [***] Cereals or any of CPW’s cereals primarily for consumption [***], for certain markets where CPW wishes to commercialize said products instead of Nestlé or where Nestlé does not commercialize such products.

This agreement shall be deemed Supplementary to the Protocol of Cereal Partners Worldwide between GMI and NSA, executed on the 21st of November 1989, as amended. Upon execution hereof, this Addendum No. 4 shall become an integral part of the Protocol.
