Altria Benefit Liabilities retained by Altria with respect to Former PMI Group Employees described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Former PMI Group Employees.

(c) Crediting Service. As of the Distribution Date, the service used to determine the eligibility for, the vested portion of and the amount of, any benefit under any Altria Group Plan of each Altria Group Employee shall not be less than the service that such Altria Group Employee earned with the Altria Group, the Former Altria Group and the PMI Group with respect to such Altria Group Plan to such date.

Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, to the exclusion of the Altria Group, the appropriate member of the PMI Group shall continue to be responsible for and pay, perform and discharge each and every of the employment, compensation and employee benefits Liabilities relating to PMI Group Employees (other than Former PMI Group Employees described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Former PMI Group Employees) that arise from employment with the PMI Group, the Altria Group and the Former Altria Group before the Distribution Date, and that arise with respect to PMI Group Employees from employment with the PMI Group on or after the Distribution Date, including each and every Liability arising under a PMI Group Plan or assumed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (collectively, the “PMI Benefit Liabilities”); provided, however, that nothing shall preclude any PMI Pension Plan to reduce or eliminate any such PMI Benefit Liability by a Permissible Offset.

ARTICLE III

PMI GROUP PLANS

3.1 PMI Group Plans. The following principles shall apply.

(a) PMI Pension Plans. A member of the PMI Group has previously adopted and established the PMI Pension Plans for the benefit of eligible PMI Group Employees. PMI shall timely take all actions necessary to obtain a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service that the PMI

Retirement Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the related trust forms part of a qualified plan and is therefore exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code.

(b) Transfer of Assets.

(i) Prior Asset Transfer. At or about the time of the establishment of the PMI Retirement Plan by a member of the PMI Group, Altria caused the trust under the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees to make a direct transfer of assets to the trust established under the PMI Retirement Plan. The value of the assets transferred and to be transferred from the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees to the trust under the PMI Retirement Plan was and will be the amount required to be transferred pursuant to Section 414(l) of the Code. Such amount was determined by the actuary for the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees and the PMI Retirement Plan. Any amount required to be transferred pursuant to this section shall be adjusted for (i) allocable gains and/or losses of the trust under the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees, (ii) benefit payments on behalf of the PMI Retirement Plan, and (iii) allocable expenses.

(ii) Subsequent Asset Transfer.

(A) As soon as practicable after December 31, 2008, or such earlier date that may be agreed upon by the Altria Group and the PMI Group, but in no event earlier than 30 days following the filing of Form 5310-A with the Internal Revenue Service, if required, Altria agrees to cause the trust under the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees to make a direct transfer (or transfers) of assets to the trust established under the PMI Retirement Plan in an amount determined by the actuary for the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees and agreed to by the actuary for the PMI Retirement Plan, equal to the amount required to be transferred pursuant to Section 414(l) of the Code with respect to those PMI Group Employees who were participants in the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees and for whom assets were not transferred pursuant to clause (i) hereof. The value of the assets to be transferred from the trust under the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees to the trust under the PMI Retirement Plan will be determined in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code without regard to Section 414(l)(2) of the Code.

(B) Altria and PMI shall reasonably cooperate with each other in order to facilitate the foregoing provisions of this clause (ii).

(c) Credit for Service with the Altria Group. The PMI Pension Plans shall provide that each PMI Group Employee (regardless of the date of employment with the PMI Group) shall be credited with eligibility and vesting service that is not less than the eligibility and vesting service that the PMI Group Employee had earned under the comparable or equivalent Altria Group Pension Plan.

(d) Credit under all other PMI Group Plans. No later than as of the Distribution Date, each PMI Group Plan shall provide that each PMI Group Employee (regardless of the date of employment with the PMI Group) shall be credited with eligibility and vesting service that is not less than the eligibility and vesting service that the PMI Group Employee had earned under the comparable or equivalent Altria Group Plan.

(e) PMI Profit-Sharing Plans.

(i) Creation and Qualification of Plans. PMI has previously adopted and established the PMI Profit-Sharing Plans with respect to eligible PMI Group Employees. PMI shall take all actions necessary to timely obtain a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service that the PMI Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the related trust forms part of a qualified plan and is therefore exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code.

(f) Transfer of Assets.

(i) Prior Asset Transfer. Contemporaneously with the establishment of the PMI Profit-Sharing Plan, Altria caused the Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Salaried Employees to make a direct transfer of assets from such plan to the trust established under the PMI Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan. The value of the assets transferred from the trust under the Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Salaried Employees to the trust under the PMI Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan was determined in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code, to be equal to the value of the accounts of the then identified PMI Group Employees.

(ii) Subsequent Asset Transfer.

(A) On or before April 30, 2008, but in no event earlier than 30 days following the filing of Form 5310-A with the Internal Revenue Service, if required, Altria agrees to cause the trust under the Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Salaried Employees to make a direct transfer (or transfers) of assets to the trust established under the PMI Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan in an amount equal to the accounts of the PMI Group Employees for whom assets were not transferred pursuant to clause (i) hereof, except that Altria shall not cause the transfer of assets with respect to PMI Transferees who

have transferred to a member of the PMI Group after the Distribution Date, such assets to be retained in the trust under the Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Salaried Employees pending further direction from the PMI Transferee. The value of the assets to be transferred will be determined in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code.

(B) Altria and PMI shall reasonably cooperate with each other in order to facilitate the foregoing provisions of clause (ii).

(g) PMI Welfare and Other Benefits. PMI Group Employees shall be entitled to participate in the PMI Welfare and Other Plans in accordance with the Altria Group practices in effect as of the Distribution Date, provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude PMI Group Employees from continuing to participate in Altria Group Welfare and Other Plans for the calendar year of the Distribution if mutually agreed to by PMI and Altria.

(h) PMI Directors’ Plans. PMI has adopted the PMI Deferred Fee Plan for Non-Employee Directors and the PMI Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors effective as of January 29, 2008. Effective as of the Distribution Date, PMI shall assume, under the PMI directors’ plans, the liability for deferred amounts under the Altria Group, Inc. Deferred Fee Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the Altria Group, Inc. Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, and the Altria Group, Inc. Unit Plan for Incumbent Non-Employee Directors with respect to each individual who is a member of the Board of Directors of Altria in 2008 before the Distribution Date and who is a member of the Board of Directors of PMI on the Distribution Date. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, Altria shall pay to PMI an amount equal to such liability determined as of the close of business on the Distribution Date.

ARTICLE IV

4.1 PMI Transferees. The following principles shall apply to any PMI Transferee. Except as specifically noted in this Agreement as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, each PMI Transferee will become, or continue to be, eligible upon transfer for the rights and benefits of similarly situated PMI Group Employees.

(a) Amendments. No member of the PMI Group shall cause any amendments to be made to the PMI Group Plans or any policies regarding the PMI Group Plans (other than amendments to provide for Permissible Offsets) to be implemented that have the direct or indirect effect of treating the PMI Transferees less favorably than the other PMI Group Employees similarly situated in seniority and job responsibilities.

(b) Profit-Sharing Plans.

(c) Company Contribution for PMI Transferee. If any PMI Transferee is transferred to the PMI Group after the Distribution Date but on or prior to December 31^st of the calendar year in which the Distribution Date occurs and would otherwise be eligible for a company contribution (within the meaning of the Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Salaried Employees) under the Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Salaried Employees for that calendar year, the appropriate member of the Altria Group will contribute (or credit, as applicable) to each such PMI Transferee’s account in the Altria

Profit-Sharing Plans the pro-rated amount of any employer contribution to which the PMI Transferee is entitled based on his compensation (as defined in the Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Salaried Employees) received from an Altria Participating Company through the date of transfer and irrespective of whether such PMI Transferee is employed by the PMI Group on the last day of the calendar year in which he or she transferred. Any PMI Transferee who has an outstanding loan from the Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Salaried Employees as of the date of transfer to PMI may continue to repay such loan in accordance with the terms of such Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Salaried Employees.

4.2 Altria Transferees. The following principles shall apply to any Altria Transferee. Except as specifically noted in this Agreement as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, each Altria Transferee will become, or continue to be, eligible upon transfer for the rights and benefits of similarly situated Altria Group Employees.

(a) Amendments. No member of the Altria Group shall cause any amendments to be made to the Altria Group Plans or any policies regarding the Altria Group Plans (other than amendments to provide for Permissible Offsets) to be implemented that have the direct or indirect effect of treating the Altria Transferees less favorably than the other Altria Group Employees similarly situated in seniority and job responsibilities.

(b) Profit-Sharing Plan.

(i) Participation. As soon as administratively practicable following the date on which the Altria Transferee transfers, the Altria Transferee shall be eligible to commence participation in the appropriate Altria Profit-Sharing Plan. Any service requirements contained in such Altria Profit-Sharing Plan with respect to eligibility to participate generally to share in any employer contributions thereunder shall be waived for the Altria Transferee.

(c) Company Contribution for Altria Transferee. If any Altria Transferee is transferred to the Altria Group after the Distribution Date but on or prior to December 31^st of the calendar year in which the Distribution Date occurs and would otherwise be eligible for a company contribution (within the meaning of the PMI Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan) under the PMI Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for that calendar year, the appropriate member of the PMI Group will contribute (or credit, as applicable) to each such Altria Transferee’s account in the PMI Profit-Sharing Plans the pro-rated amount of any employer contribution to which the Altria Transferee is entitled based on his compensation (as defined in the PMI Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan) received from a Participating Company (as defined in the PMI Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan) through the date of transfer and irrespective of whether such Altria Transferee is employed by the Altria Group on the last day of the calendar year in which he transferred. Any Altria Transferee who has an outstanding loan from the PMI Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan as of the date of transfer to the Altria Group may continue to repay such loan in accordance with the terms of such PMI Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan.

4.3 Payments. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, Altria shall pay to PMI an amount representing the excess of the reasonably estimated present values of (a), with respect to certain employees of the Altria Group scheduled to transfer to the PMI Group, (i) liabilities accrued for financial reporting purposes for post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits and certain other agreed post-employment benefits as of December 31, 2007, (ii) defined benefit obligations under Altria’s Benefit Equalization Plan and Altria’s Supplemental Management Employees’ Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2007 (less relevant offsets for amounts previously paid pursuant to the Altria Secular Trust Program and the Altria Executive Trust Arrangement) plus (iii) those target payments that would reasonably be anticipated to be earned, assuming continued payment of target payments, during such employees’ service with PMI no later than December 31, 2012 that are in lieu of the increase in the value of benefits with respect to service before January 1, 2008 to which the transferees would have become entitled (assuming continued employment) as a result of attaining early retirement eligibility, had they been covered by Altria’s Benefit Equalization Plan and Altria’s Supplemental Management Employees’ Retirement Plan, over (b) the results of similar calculations for post-retirement medical, life insurance and other post-employment benefit liabilities, defined benefit obligations and anticipated target payments to be paid by Altria with respect to an employee of the PMI Group who transferred to the Altria Group in anticipation of the Distribution and any other mutually agreed employees of the PMI Group scheduled to transfer to the Altria Group.

ARTICLE V

EQUITY COMPENSATION

5.1 Altria Options.

(a) Adjustment Methodology. Each Altria Option shall be adjusted in the manner described below, effective as of the time of the Distribution, so that each Altria Option holder shall hold Adjusted Altria Options and PMI Options in lieu of the Altria Options previously held. The following procedure shall be applied to each grant of Altria Options with the same grant date and exercise price held by each Altria Option holder. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “exercise price” refers to the amount payable by an option holder in order to acquire shares pursuant to a stock option award.

(i) The Adjusted Altria Options shall have an exercise price equal to the Altria Post-Adjustment Price multiplied by the Option Conversion Ratio. The number of Adjusted Altria Options shall equal the number of Altria Options.

(ii) The PMI Options shall have an exercise price equal to the PMI Price multiplied by the Option Conversion Ratio. The number of PMI Options shall equal the number of Altria Options. If the resulting aggregate Intrinsic Value of the Adjusted Altria Options and PMI Options is less than the Intrinsic Value of the Altria Options, then the difference shall be paid to the option holder in cash as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date. If the resulting aggregate Intrinsic Value of the Adjusted Altria Options and PMI Options is greater than the Intrinsic Value of the Altria Options, then the number of PMI Options shall be reduced until the aggregate Intrinsic Value of the Adjusted Altria

Options and PMI Options is less than or equal to the Intrinsic Value of the Altria Options, and any difference shall be paid to the option holder in cash as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Intrinsic Value of the Altria Options is negative, only the first two sentences of this Section 5.1(a)(ii) shall be applied. The cash payment described above shall be made by Altria to individuals who are Non-PMI Group employees on the Distribution Date (or individuals no longer performing services for the Non-PMI Group or the PMI Group but whose last employment was with the Non-PMI Group), and by PMI to individuals who are PMI Group employees on the Distribution Date (or individuals no longer performing services for the Non-PMI Group or the PMI Group but whose last employment was with the PMI Group).

(iii) The calculation described in the preceding sentence shall be applied using the rounding conventions determined by Altria to carry out the purpose of this Section 5.1.

(b) Issuing Entity and Settlement. Altria will adjust the exercise price of the Altria Options to become Adjusted Altria Options pursuant to the Altria Performance Incentive Plan. After the Distribution Date, Adjusted Altria Options, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by Altria pursuant to the Altria Performance Incentive Plan. PMI will issue the PMI Options pursuant to the PMI Performance Incentive Plan. After the Distribution Date, PMI Options, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by PMI pursuant to the PMI Performance Incentive Plan.

(c) Option Agreement Terms. The Adjusted Altria Options and the PMI Options shall have terms that are substantially identical to the terms of the Altria Options, provided, however, that (i) the Adjusted Altria Options shall provide that individuals who are employees of the PMI Group on the Distribution Date or who are PMI Transferees shall continue while employed by the PMI Group to be treated as employees of an Altria Affiliate solely for purposes of determining the exercise period under the option agreements; (ii) the PMI Options shall provide that individuals who are employees of the Non-PMI Group on the Distribution Date or who are Altria Transferees shall continue while employed by the Non-PMI Group to be treated as employees of a PMI Affiliate solely for purposes of determining the exercise period under the option agreements; and (iii) the PMI Options shall refer to both PMI and members of the Non-PMI Group as appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 5.1 including references to the Non-PMI Group disability and retirement plans.

(d) Consideration. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, Altria shall pay to PMI the Fair Value of the PMI Options held by individuals who are Non-PMI Group employees on the Distribution Date (or individuals no longer performing services for the Non-PMI Group or the PMI Group but whose last employment was with the Non-PMI Group) and PMI shall pay to Altria the Fair Value of the Adjusted Altria Options held by individuals who are PMI Group employees on the Distribution Date (or individuals no longer performing services for the Non-PMI Group or the PMI Group but whose last employment was with the PMI Group). The parties shall settle the obligations of the preceding sentence in cash on a net basis such that the party required to pay the greater amount to the other shall pay the difference between the two amounts to the other.

5.2 Kraft SARs Issued by Altria. Upon the Distribution Date, PMI shall assume the liability for Kraft SARs held by individuals who are employees of the PMI Group on the Distribution Date (or individuals no longer performing services for the Non-PMI Group or the PMI Group but whose last employment was with the PMI Group). PMI shall settle such Kraft SARs upon exercise and assume all other obligations under such Kraft SARs. Altria and PMI shall amend such Kraft SARs effective as of the Distribution Date to replace references to Altria with references to PMI and otherwise as appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 5.2.

5.3 Restricted Stock and pre-January 31, 2007 Deferred Stock.

(a) Adjustment. Pursuant to the Distribution, each holder of Altria Restricted Stock will receive from Altria as of the time of the Distribution shares of PMI Common Stock in the same manner and based on the same ratio as other shareholders of Altria Common Stock. Such PMI Common Stock shall be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the Altria Restricted Stock to which it relates (including the right to receive all dividends or other distributions paid on PMI Common Stock). Effective at the time of the Distribution, each holder of Altria Deferred Stock that was granted before January 31, 2007 shall receive a number of PMI Deferred Stock shares based on the same ratio as shareholders of Altria Common Stock. Such PMI Deferred Stock shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.4(b) through Section 5.4(e).

(b) Restricted Stock Agreement Terms. The PMI Restricted Stock shall have the same terms as the Altria Restricted Stock; provided, however, that (i) the Altria Restricted Stock shall provide that individuals who are employees of the PMI Group on the Distribution Date or who are PMI Transferees shall continue to be treated while so employed as employees of an Altria Affiliate for purposes of continued vesting in the restricted stock; (ii) the PMI Restricted Stock shall provide that individuals who are employees of the Non-PMI Group on the Distribution Date or who are Altria Transferees shall continue to be treated while so employed as employees of a PMI Affiliate for purposes of continued vesting in the restricted stock; and (iii) the PMI Restricted Stock shall refer to both PMI and members of the Non-PMI Group as appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 5.3.

(c) Forfeiture of PMI Stock and Consideration. If a holder of PMI Restricted Stock forfeits such stock under the terms of the PMI Restricted Stock, the forfeited stock shall be returned to PMI, not Altria. In consideration of the anticipated receipt of such forfeitures, PMI shall pay in cash to Altria as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date the anticipated value of forfeitures attributable to PMI Restricted Stock held by individuals who are Non-PMI Group employees on the Distribution Date. In addition, PMI shall pay in cash to Altria as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date the value of the Altria Restricted Stock held by the PMI Group employees on the

Distribution Date. The anticipated value of the PMI Restricted Stock that may be forfeited by holders and returned to PMI shall be determined using the PMI Price and the forfeiture assumption used for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R) purposes in Altria’s most recent quarterly or annual financial reporting prepared before the Distribution Date for forfeitures of Altria Restricted Stock. The value of the Altria Restricted Stock shall be equal to the Altria Pre-Adjustment Price of the underlying Altria shares, reduced by assumed forfeitures based on the assumptions used for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R) purposes in Altria’s most recent quarterly or annual financial reporting prepared before the Distribution Date for forfeitures of Altria Restricted Stock.

5.4 Deferred Stock.

(a) Adjustment. Effective at the time of the Distribution, each holder of Altria Deferred Stock that was granted on or after January 31, 2007 and before January 30, 2008 shall receive a number of PMI Deferred Stock shares based on the same ratio as holders of Altria Common Stock. Effective at the time of the Distribution, each holder of Altria Deferred Stock that was granted on or after January 30, 2008 shall receive (i) in the case of a holder who is an employee of the Non-PMI Group on the Distribution Date, additional Altria Deferred Stock, such that following the Distribution Date the holder will have the number of shares of Altria Deferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Altria Deferred Stock held before the Distribution multiplied by the ratio of the Altria Pre-Adjustment Price to the Altria Post-Adjustment Price; and (ii) in the case of a holder who is a PMI Group Employee on the Distribution Date, PMI Deferred Stock in substitution for such holder’s Altria Deferred Stock, such that following the Distribution Date the holder will have the number of shares of PMI Deferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Altria Deferred Stock held before the Distribution multiplied by the ratio of the Altria Pre-Adjustment Price to the PMI Price. Any fractional shares of Altria or PMI Deferred Stock resulting from the adjustment in the preceding sentence shall be paid to the holder in cash as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date; provided, however, that with respect to any individual holding Deferred Stock that is subject to Code Section 409A, any fractional shares of Altria or PMI Deferred Stock shall instead be rounded up to a whole share of Altria or PMI Deferred Stock. The cash payment described above shall be made by Altria to individuals who are Non-PMI Group employees on the Distribution Date, and by PMI to individuals who are PMI Group employees on the Distribution Date.

(b) Issuing Entity and Settlement. After the Distribution Date, Altria shall be responsible for any cash payments in lieu of dividends required pursuant to the terms of the Altria Deferred Stock, and such Altria Deferred Stock, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by Altria pursuant to the Altria Performance Incentive Plan. PMI will issue PMI Deferred Stock pursuant to the PMI Performance Incentive Plan. After the Distribution Date, PMI shall be responsible for any cash payments in lieu of dividends required pursuant to the terms of the PMI Deferred Stock, and such deferred stock, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by PMI pursuant to the PMI Performance Incentive Plan.

(c) Deferred Stock Agreement Terms. The PMI Deferred Stock shall have the same terms as the Altria Deferred Stock, provided, however, that (i) the Altria Deferred Stock shall provide that individuals who are employees of the PMI Group on the Distribution Date or who are PMI Transferees shall continue to be treated while so employed as employees of an Altria Affiliate for purposes of continued vesting in the deferred stock; (ii) the PMI Deferred Stock shall provide that individuals who are employees of the Non-PMI Group on the Distribution Date or who are Altria Transferees shall continue to be treated while so employed as employees of a PMI Affiliate for purposes of continued vesting in the deferred stock; and (iii) the PMI Deferred Stock shall refer to both PMI and members of the Non-PMI Group as appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 5.4.

(d) Consideration. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, Altria shall pay to PMI the value of the PMI Deferred Stock held by individuals who are Non-PMI Group employees on the Distribution Date and PMI shall pay to Altria the value of the Altria Deferred Stock held by individuals who are PMI Group employees on the Distribution Date. The parties shall settle the obligations of the preceding sentence in cash on a net basis such that the party required to pay the greater amount to the other shall pay the difference between the two amounts to the other. For purposes of this Section 5.4(d), the value of the Altria Deferred Stock or PMI Deferred Stock shall be determined based on the Altria Post-Adjustment Price and the PMI Price, respectively, reduced by assumed forfeitures based on the assumptions used for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R) purposes in Altria’s most recent quarterly or annual financial reporting prepared before the Distribution Date for forfeitures of Altria Deferred Stock.

(e) Taxes. Altria shall reimburse any Altria Group employee, and PMI shall reimburse any PMI Group employee, who becomes liable for income taxes with respect to Altria or PMI Deferred Stock earlier or in an amount greater than would have been the case absent the implementation of Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.4(a) in an amount equal to the excess of (i) any income taxes to which such employee becomes liable over (ii) the present value of such income taxes had such income taxes been paid at such time as the Altria or PMI Deferred Stock would otherwise have been subject to income taxes, assuming, for purposes of determining present value, the same value for Deferred Stock used for purposes of clause (i) of this sentence and a discount rate equal to the weighted average discount rate used for Altria’s domestic pension plans at December 31, 2007, which was 6.2%. Any such reimbursement shall be further adjusted to hold the employee harmless from all additional taxes on the reimbursement payment itself. The amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.4(e) shall be calculated using reasonable assumptions (in addition to those specified above) as may be determined by the third-party accounting firm or firms selected by the party responsible for the reimbursement.

5.5 Existing Kraft Equity Compensation.

(a) Consideration. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, PMI shall pay to Altria the Fair Value of the Existing Kraft Options held by individuals who are PMI Group employees on the Distribution Date (or individuals no longer

performing services for the Non-PMI Group or the PMI Group, but whose last employment was with PMI Group). As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, PMI shall also pay to Altria the value of Existing Kraft Restricted Stock and the Existing Kraft Deferred Stock held by individuals who are PMI Group employees on the Distribution Date (or individuals no longer performing services for the Non-PMI Group or the PMI Group but whose last employment was with the PMI Group). The value of the Existing Kraft Restricted Stock and Existing Kraft Deferred Stock shall be determined based on a Kraft stock price of $31.66, and reduced by assumed forfeitures based on the assumptions used for purposes of Section 4.4(d) of the Employees Matters Agreement by and between Altria Group, Inc. and Kraft with respect to Kraft Deferred Stock held by Altria Group Employees.

(b) Employment Treatment. Equity compensation issued by Kraft before the Distribution Date shall provide that individuals who are PMI Group Employees on the Distribution Date shall continue while employed by the PMI Group to be treated as employees of a member of the Kraft Group for purposes of determining the exercise period of Existing Kraft Options and continued vesting in Existing Kraft Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock.

5.6 Payments Previously Made By PMI. Any payments to be made by PMI to Altria under this Article V with respect to Equity Compensation shall be reduced by payments previously made by PMI to Altria with respect to such Equity Compensation in the normal course of business before the Distribution Date.

5.7 Other.

(a) Administration and Withholding.

(i) Altria and PMI agree that UBS Financial Services Inc. shall be the administrator and recordkeeper for the Adjusted Altria Options, PMI Options, Kraft SARs, Altria Restricted Stock, PMI Restricted Stock, Altria Deferred Stock and PMI Deferred Stock for the life of the options, restricted stock and deferred stock, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.

(ii) Altria will be responsible for all payroll taxes, withholding and reporting with respect to Equity Compensation of Altria Group employees (or individuals no longer performing services for the Non-PMI Group or PMI Group but whose last employment was with the Altria Group). PMI will be responsible for all payroll taxes, withholding and reporting with respect to Equity Compensation of PMI Group employees (or individuals no longer performing services for the Non-PMI Group or the PMI Group but whose last employment was with the PMI Group). Altria and PMI agree to designate the other party as an agent for withholding pursuant to IRS Revenue Procedure 70-6 and to accept such designation to effectuate the intent of this Section 5.7(a).

(iii) Upon the exercise of an Adjusted Altria Option or PMI Option held by Altria Group or PMI Group employees (or individuals no longer

performing services for the Non-PMI Group or PMI Group but whose last employment was with the Altria Group or PMI Group), the exercise price shall be remitted in cash by the option administrator to the issuer of the option (Altria or PMI, as applicable) and the applicable withholding shall be remitted in cash by the option administrator to the entity (Altria or PMI, as applicable) responsible for payroll taxes, withholding and reporting with respect to the option. Upon vesting or payment, as applicable, of Altria and PMI Restricted Stock, Altria and PMI Deferred Stock and Kraft SARs held by Altria Group or PMI Group employees (or individuals no longer performing services for the Non-PMI Group or PMI Group but whose last employment was with the Altria Group or PMI Group), the applicable withholding shall be remitted in cash by the administrator to the entity (Altria or PMI, as applicable) responsible for payroll taxes, withholding and reporting with respect to the Restricted or Deferred Stock or Kraft SARs. To the extent necessary to provide the withholding amount in cash to the entity responsible for payroll taxes, withholding, and reporting, the issuer of the applicable Equity Compensation shall provide the withholding amount in cash.

(iv) With respect to dividends on PMI Restricted Stock or dividend equivalents on PMI Deferred Stock payable by PMI to an Altria Group employee, PMI shall make such payments to Altria, and Altria, as an agent for PMI, shall make such payments to its employees and former employees and shall be responsible for payroll taxes, withholding and reporting in accordance with this Section 5.7(a). With respect to dividends on Altria Restricted Stock or dividend equivalents on Altria Deferred Stock payable by Altria to a PMI Group employee, Altria shall make such payments to PMI, and PMI, as an agent for Altria, shall make such payments to its employees and former employees and shall be responsible for payroll taxes, withholding and reporting in accordance with this Section 5.7(a).

(v) PMI will cooperate with Kraft to establish appropriate procedures consistent with this Section 5.7(a) for tax withholding, remitting withholding taxes, payroll taxes, dividends, dividend equivalents, fractional shares and exercise prices to the appropriate party, and tax reporting, including, to the extent necessary, withholding agency designations pursuant to IRS Revenue Procedure 70-6, with respect to (A) PMI Options, PMI Restricted Stock and PMI Deferred Stock of employees of the Kraft Group (or individuals no longer performing services for the Kraft Group, the Non-PMI Group or the PMI Group but whose last employment was with the Kraft Group) and (B) Existing Kraft Options, Existing Kraft Restricted Stock and Existing Kraft Deferred Stock of PMI Group employees (or individuals no longer performing services for the Kraft Group, the Non-PMI Group or the PMI Group but whose last employment was with the PMI Group).

(vi) If, after the Distribution Date, Altria or PMI identify an administrative error in the individuals identified as holding Equity Compensation, the amount of Equity Compensation so held, the vesting level of such Equity Compensation, or any other similar error, Altria and PMI shall mutually cooperate

in taking such actions as are necessary or appropriate to place, as nearly as reasonable practicable, the individual and Altria and PMI in the position in which they would have been had the error not occurred.

(b) Scheduled Transfers. For purposes of this Article V only, if an individual is, by mutual agreement between the parties, scheduled to transfer employment shortly after the Distribution Date between the PMI Group and the Altria Group, such individual shall be treated as employed on the Distribution Date by the entity to which he or she is scheduled to transfer.

(c) Tax Deductions. With respect to the Equity Compensation held by individuals who are Altria Group employees at the time the Equity Compensation becomes taxable and individuals who are not employees of the PMI Group or Non-PMI Group at such time but were last employees of the Altria Group, Altria shall claim any federal, state and/or local tax deductions after the Distribution Date, and PMI shall not claim such deductions. With respect to the Equity Compensation held by individuals who are employees of the PMI Group at the time the Equity Compensation becomes taxable and individuals who are not employees of the PMI Group or Non-PMI Group at such time but were last employees of the PMI Group, PMI shall claim any federal, state and/or local tax deductions after the Distribution Date, and Altria shall not claim such deductions. If either Altria or PMI determines in its reasonable judgment that there is a substantial likelihood that a tax deduction that was assigned to Altria or PMI pursuant to this Section 5.7(c) will instead be available only to the other party (whether as a result of a determination by the Internal Revenue Service, a change in the Code or the regulations or guidance thereunder, or otherwise), it will notify the other party and both parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve the issue in accordance with the following principle: the party entitled to the deduction shall pay to the other party an amount that places the other party in a financial position equivalent to the financial position the party would have been in had the party received the deduction as intended under this Section 5.7(c). Such amount shall be paid within 90 days of filing the last tax return necessary to make the determination described in the preceding sentence.

(d) Intended Results; Tax Benefit. If Altria determines in its reasonable judgment that any action required under this Article IV will not achieve the intended tax, accounting and legal results, including, without limitation, the intended results under Code Section 409A and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R), then at the request of Altria, PMI and Altria shall mutually cooperate in taking such actions as are necessary or appropriate to achieve such results, or most nearly achieve such results if the originally-intended results are not fully attainable.

(e) Registration. PMI shall register the PMI Common Stock relating to the PMI Options and PMI Deferred Stock and make any necessary filings with the appropriate Governmental Authorities as required under U.S. and foreign securities Laws.

Each of Altria and PMI shall comply fully with its obligations under applicable Laws as controller of any Personal Data and shall do all such things as may be necessary to discharge such obligations.

8.2 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No provision of this Agreement or the Distribution Agreement shall be construed to create any right, or accelerate entitlement, to any compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any Person (other than parties thereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns), including any PMI Transferee, any Altria Transferee or other future, present, or former employee of Altria, a member of the Altria Group, PMI or a member of the PMI Group under any Altria Group Plan or PMI Group Plan or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude PMI or any member of the PMI Group, at any time after the Distribution Date, from amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing or otherwise altering in any respect any PMI Group Plan, any benefit under any plan or any trust, insurance policy or funding vehicle related to any PMI Group Plan; and (ii) except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Altria or any member of the Altria Group, at any time after the Distribution modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing or otherwise altering in any respect any Altria Group

8.4 Fiduciary Matters. Altria and PMI each acknowledge that actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable law, and no party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon its good faith determination that to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard. Each party shall be responsible for taking such actions as are deemed necessary and appropriate to comply with its own fiduciary responsibilities.

8.5 Collective Bargaining.
