For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not apply to any Tax Return required by applicable law to be filed by GroceryCo Canada or SnackCo Canada.

3.06 Tax Returns of GroceryCo Canada and SnackCo Canada. Any Tax Return required to be filed by GroceryCo Canada under applicable law shall be filed by GroceryCo Canada. Any Tax Return required to be filed by SnackCo Canada under applicable law shall be filed by SnackCo Canada.

3.07 Special Rules Relating to the Preparation of Tax Returns.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the case of any Tax Return for or that includes a Pre-Distribution Period, the Filing Party pursuant to this Article III shall prepare (or shall cause the appropriate member of it Group to prepare) such Tax Return in accordance with past practices, accounting methods, elections or conventions (“Past Practices”) used by the SnackCo Pre-Distribution Group with respect to the Tax Return in question, and, to the extent any items are not covered by Past Practices, in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Tax Return described in the preceding sentence, the Filing Party (or the appropriate member of its Group) shall not be required to follow Past Practices if (i) the Non-Filing Party consents in writing to the proposed method of reporting (not to be unreasonably withheld), (ii) the Filing Party (or the appropriate member of its Group) receives a “should” level opinion from a nationally recognized law firm that the proposed method of reporting is correct or (iii) there is no substantial authority for the use of such Past Practices. In addition, unless otherwise required by applicable law, in the preparation and filing of any Tax Return for or that includes a Pre-Distribution Period, the Filing Party shall not take (or shall cause the appropriate member of its Group not to take) any position (or make any election) that is inconsistent with any position taken or election made by SnackCo in connection with the preparation and filing of any consolidated U.S. Federal Income Tax Return that includes any Pre-Distribution Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the preparation of any such Tax Return, the Filing Party shall not discriminate (or shall cause the appropriate member of its Group not to discriminate) against any member of the Non-Filing Party’s Group.

(b) SnackCo and GroceryCo shall prepare (and shall cause the members of its respective Group to prepare) all Tax Returns consistent with the Tax treatment of the Internal Reorganization and the Distribution set forth in the Ruling and Tax Opinion Documents.

3.08 Right to Review Tax Returns.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Party responsible for filing any tax return described in (i) above shall not file such Return without the consent of the Non-Filing Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). For the avoidance of doubt, no State Income Tax Return that includes a Pre-Distribution Period that any member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group is responsible for filing under Section 3.02 of this Agreement shall be filed without GroceryCo’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

3.09 Appointment. Each member of the Non-Filing Party’s Group hereby irrevocably appoints the Filing Party as its agent and attorney-in-fact to take any action (including the execution of documents) the Filing Party may deem necessary or appropriate to implement this Article III.

ARTICLE IV

CARRYBACKS REFUNDS AND TAX BENEFITS

4.01 Carrybacks.

(a) If any member of the Non-Filing Party’s Group generates a Tax Attribute during a Post-Distribution Period that can be carried back to a Pre-Distribution Period, then, upon the request of the Non-Filing Party, the Filing Party, at the Non-Filing Party’s expense, shall file (or shall cause the appropriate member of its Group to file) a claim for refund arising from such carryback and will pay to the Non-Filing Party the actual Tax Benefit from the carryback within thirty days of Effective Realization by any member of the Filing Party’s Group. Such Tax Benefit shall be equal to the excess of (i) the amount of Tax that would have been payable (or of the Tax refund actually receivable) by the Party (or member of its Group) liable for the Tax reported on such Tax Return for such period in the absence of such carryback, over (ii) the amount of Tax actually payable for such period (or of the Tax refund that would have been receivable) by the Party (or member of its Group) liable for the Tax reported on such Tax Return. In the absence of controlling legal authority, if the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group and the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group can both carryback Tax Attributes from the same Post-Distribution Period to a Pre-Distribution Period and both Parties Tax Attributes cannot be fully utilized, the Tax Attributes of both Groups shall be carried back proportionately to the Tax Attributes each Party is seeking to utilize.

(b) If, subsequent to the payment by the Filing Party to the Non-Filing Party of any amount pursuant to (or in accordance with the principles of) Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement, there shall be a Final Determination that results in a disallowance or a reduction of the Tax Attributes of the Non-Filing Party’s Group so carried back, the Non-Filing Party shall repay to the Filing Party, within thirty days after such Final Determination, any amount that would not have been payable to the Non-Filing Party pursuant to (or in accordance with the principles of) Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement had the Tax Benefit been determined in light of the Final Determination. In addition, the Non-Filing Party shall hold each member of the Filing Party’s Group harmless from any penalty or interest payable by any member of the Filing Party’s Group as a result of any such Final Determination. Any such amount shall be paid by the Non-Filing Party within thirty days of the payment by the Filing Party’s Group of any such penalty or interest.

(c) For purposes of this Section 4.01, GroceryCo (or the applicable member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group) shall be considered the Filing Party for all State Income Tax Returns for which it is liable for the Tax under Section 2.01 of this Agreement.

4.02 Refunds.

(a) If a member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group Effectively Realizes a refund, offset, or credit that relates to a Tax for which a member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group is liable under this Agreement, SnackCo shall remit to GroceryCo within thirty days of Effective Realization the amount of such refund, offset, or credit, together with any interest received thereon.

(b) If a member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group Effectively Realizes a refund, offset, or credit that relates to a Tax for which a member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group is liable under this Agreement, GroceryCo shall remit to SnackCo within thirty days of Effective Realization the amount of such refund, offset, or credit, together with any interest received thereon.

4.03 Residual TSA Receivables, Specified TSA Receivables, and FIN 45 Receivables.

(b) If a member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group receives a cash payment pursuant to a Residual TSA Receivable, a Specified TSA Receivable, or a FIN 45 Receivable with respect to a Tax for which a member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group would be liable under Section 2.01 of this Agreement, GroceryCo shall remit to SnackCo within thirty days of receiving such cash payment the amount of such cash payment.

4.04 Tax Benefits.

(a) If, as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination to any Tax for which a member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group is liable hereunder, a member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group realizes a Tax Benefit that it would not have realized but for such adjustment (determined on a with and without basis), GroceryCo shall pay to SnackCo the Tax Benefit from such adjustment within thirty days of the later of the date on which (i) the member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group Effectively Realizes such Tax Benefit or (ii) GroceryCo receives written notice and demand from SnackCo for payment of the amount due, accompanied by evidence of such adjustment describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. Provided, however, that the amount GroceryCo shall pay to SnackCo under this Section 4.04(a) related to any adjustment shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Tax Benefit(s) Effectively Realized (whether Effectively Realized with respect to the same taxable period or one or more other taxable periods) by the member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group or (y) the Tax Detriment incurred by the member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group. In the event that GroceryCo disagrees with any such calculation described in this Section 4.04(a), GroceryCo shall notify SnackCo in writing within thirty days of receiving the written calculations set forth above in this Section 4.04(a). The Parties shall resolve any such disagreement in accordance with Section 10.03 of this Agreement.

(b) If, as a result of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination to any Tax for which a member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group is liable hereunder, a member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group realizes a Tax Benefit that it would not have realized but for such adjustment (determined on a with and without basis), SnackCo shall pay to GroceryCo the Tax Benefit from such adjustment within thirty days of the later of the date on which (i) the member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group Effectively Realizes such Tax Benefit or (ii) SnackCo receives written notice and demand from GroceryCo for payment of the amount due, accompanied by evidence of such adjustment describing in reasonable detail the particulars relating thereto. Provided, however, the amount SnackCo shall pay to GroceryCo under this Section 4.04(b) related to any adjustment shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Tax Benefit(s) Effectively Realized (whether Effectively Realized with respect to the same taxable period or one or more other taxable periods) by the member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group or (y) the Tax Detriment incurred by the member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group. In the event that SnackCo disagrees with any such calculation described in this Section 4.04(b), SnackCo shall notify GroceryCo in writing within thirty days of receiving the written calculation set forth above in this Section 4.04(b). The Parties shall resolve any such disagreements in accordance with Section 10.03 of this Agreement.

(c) If, subsequent to a payment by SnackCo or GroceryCo, as appropriate, to the other Party of an amount pursuant to (or in accordance with the principles of) Sections 4.04(a) or 4.04(b) of this Agreement, there shall be a Final Determination that results in a disallowance or a reduction of the Effectively Realized Tax Benefit, the other Party shall repay to SnackCo or GroceryCo, as appropriate, within thirty days after such Final Determination, any amount that would not have been payable to the other Party pursuant to (or in accordance with the principles of) Sections 4.04(a) or 4.04(b) of this Agreement had the Tax Benefit been determined in light of the Final Determination. In addition, that Party receiving a payment from the other Party pursuant to Sections 4.04(a) or 4.04(b) of this Agreement shall hold each member

of the other Party’s Group harmless from any penalty or interest payable by any member of the other Party’s Group as a result of any such Final Determination. Any such amount shall be paid by the other Party within thirty days of the payment by the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group or the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group, as appropriate, of any such penalty or interest.

4.05 Canadian Royalty Adjustments.

(a) Obligation to Pay Tax Benefit.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article IV, if, pursuant to a Final Determination, there is a Canadian Royalty Adjustment that results in a reduction of a royalty payment deemed to be paid for Tax purposes by GroceryCo Canada to Brands LLC and SnackCo (or any member of its Group) realizes a Tax Benefit with respect to any Pre-Distribution Period that it would not have realized but for the Canadian Royalty Adjustment, it shall pay the amount of the Tax Benefit to GroceryCo within thirty days of Effective Realization of such Tax Benefit.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article IV, if, pursuant to a Final Determination, there is a Canadian Royalty Adjustment that results in an increase of a royalty payment deemed to be paid for Tax purposes by GroceryCo Canada to Brands LLC and GroceryCo (or any member of its Group) realizes a Tax Benefit with respect to any Pre-Distribution Period that it would not have realized but for the Canadian Royalty Adjustment, it shall pay the amount of the Tax Benefit to SnackCo within thirty days of Effective Realization of such Tax Benefit.

(iii) For purposes of determining the Tax Benefits Effectively Realized by either Party (or by any member of either Party’s Group) as a result of a Canadian Royalty Adjustment, the effect of any foreign tax credits shall not be taken into account.

(b) Cooperation. If a Canadian Royalty Adjustment is proposed, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith and take all actions reasonably necessary to minimize the aggregate Tax liability of the Parties and to obtain any Tax Benefits resulting from such adjustment, including without limitation, filing one or more claims for refund (or protective claims) or seeking competent authority relief. In the event that the Parties seek competent authority relief, it is the intention of the Parties that any result negotiated with the competent authorities would produce the same aggregate Tax liability among the Parties as would result if they remained members of the same affiliated group. Accordingly, the Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to negotiate such result and shall take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to achieve such result.

(i) In the event there is an agreement between the competent authorities concerning a Canadian Royalty Adjustment that results in a reduction in a royalty deemed to be paid by GroceryCo Canada to Brands LLC, the Parties anticipate that it will be necessary for the excess royalty to be repaid to GroceryCo Canada to avoid the characterization for tax purposes of such excess royalty as a deemed dividend from GroceryCo Canada to Brands LLC. If GroceryCo Canada and Brands LLC had remained members of the same affiliated group, the Parties agree that Brands LLC or its successor would have repaid the excess royalty to GroceryCo Canada in accordance with the procedures established in Revenue Procedure 99-32 (or such other similar procedures as may be agreed by the competent authorities).

(ii) To achieve the same result that would occur if the Parties had remained members of the same affiliated group, the Parties will seek to structure any agreement with the competent authorities so that: (a) a payment will be made to GroceryCo Canada to repay the excess royalty; (b) the payment described in (a) will eliminate any deemed dividend attributable to the excess royalty in both the United States and Canada; (c) the payment in (a) will not result in a permanent transfer of cash from the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group to the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group; and (d) any mechanism put in place to avoid the result described in (c) will not result in any member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group recognizing income in the United States or Canada.

(iii) Consistent with the principles outlined in (ii) above, the Parties will seek to negotiate the following arrangement with the competent authorities: (a) GroceryCo, as the successor in interest for U.S. tax purposes to Kraft Foods Global Brands, Inc. and as the obligor for such liability under the Assumption and Payment Agreement by and between GroceryCo and Brands LLC, will repay or cause to be repaid any excess royalty to GroceryCo Canada consistent with the procedures set forth in Revenue Procedure 99-32 and (b) the payment described in (a) will eliminate any deemed dividend attributable to the excess royalty in both the United States and Canada.

5.04 Indemnification Payments. In the event that a Party is entitled to receive indemnification under this Article V with respect to any Tax for which there has been a Final Determination, such Party (“Indemnified Party”) shall send to the other Party (“Indemnifying Party”) an invoice requesting payment accompanied by a statement describing in reasonable detail the amount owed and the particulars relating thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party any payment owed under this Article V within thirty days (or within another time period mutually agreed to by the Parties) after the receipt of the invoice for such payment.

ARTICLE VI

ARTICLE VII

COVENANTS

7.01 SnackCo and GroceryCo Covenants. SnackCo and GroceryCo each covenant (i) to use its best efforts to verify that the foregoing representations made by it in Article VI are accurate and complete as of the Distribution Date and (ii) that if, after the date hereof, it obtains information indicating, or otherwise becomes aware, that any such representations are or may be inaccurate or incomplete, promptly to inform SnackCo or GroceryCo, as the case may be.

7.02 Specific GroceryCo Covenants. GroceryCo may not take, and shall cause each member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group not to take, any action inconsistent with the representations in Section 6.01 of this Agreement and the covenants in this Section 7.02 unless, prior to taking such action, GroceryCo (i) provides notification, upon determining that it shall pursue such action, to SnackCo of its plans with respect to such action, and promptly responds to any inquiries made by SnackCo following such notification and (ii) obtains a Ruling from the IRS or obtains an opinion of a nationally recognized law firm that provides that such action will not cause the failure of Tax-Free Status. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receipt of a Ruling or of an opinion described in clause (ii) above shall not relieve GroceryCo of any of its liabilities or obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any GroceryCo indemnity obligation arising under Section 5.02(b) of this Agreement. GroceryCo covenants to SnackCo that:

(a) During the two-year period following the Distribution Date, GroceryCo shall not (i) liquidate or (ii) merge or consolidate with any other Person in one or more transactions pursuant to which the shareholders of the other Person(s) in such transaction(s) hold directly or indirectly a forty-two percent or greater interest (by vote or value) in the combined company.

(b) During the two-year period following the Distribution Date, GroceryCo and any Subsidiary or group of Subsidiaries that acquire all or substantially all of the GroceryCo’s assets shall not transfer all or substantially all of its assets that constitute GroceryCo’s active trade or business used to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code to any entity not a member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group in any transaction.

(c) During the two-year period following the Distribution Date, GroceryCo directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries shall continue the active conduct of its trade or business used to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code.

(d) GroceryCo shall not redeem or repurchase GroceryCo stock in a manner contrary to the requirements of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (or any Revenue Procedure replacing or superseding Revenue Procedure 96-30) or in any other manner contrary to the representations made in the Ruling and Tax Opinion Documents.

(e) During the two-year period following the Distribution Date, GroceryCo shall not issue, in one or more transactions, GroceryCo stock (or any instrument that is convertible or exchangeable into such GroceryCo stock) that in the aggregate represents more than a forty-two percent interest (by vote or value) of GroceryCo.

(f) During the two-year period following the Distribution Date, GroceryCo shall not enter into any negotiations, agreements, understandings, or arrangements with respect to transactions or events (including, without limitation, stock issuances, pursuant to the exercise of options or otherwise, option grants, capital contributions or acquisitions or a series of such transactions or events, but excluding the Distribution) that would be reasonably likely, alone or in the aggregate, to cause the Distribution to be treated as part of a plan (i) pursuant to which one or more Persons would acquire directly or indirectly stock of GroceryCo representing a forty-two percent or greater interest (by vote or value) or (ii) which would result in a transaction described in Section 7.02(a) above.

(g) GroceryCo shall not otherwise take any action or fail to take any other action, which action or failure to act would be reasonably likely to result in the imposition of Non-Canadian Transaction Taxes.

(h) For purposes of paragraphs (a), (e), and (f) of this Section 7.02, whether a forty-two percent or greater ownership change is or would be involved in one or more transactions shall be determined under multiple methods that reflect the differing number of GroceryCo shares outstanding at various times (e.g., on the Distribution Date, immediately prior to each transaction, etc.) and the method chosen shall be the one that results in the largest potential ownership change.

7.03 Canadian Butterfly Transactions.

(a) SnackCo and GroceryCo each covenant that it knows of no fact (other than the facts disclosed in any Ruling request submitted to the CRA prior to the date hereof) that may cause the Butterfly Transactions to fail to have Canadian Tax-Free Status; and SnackCo covenants that it, and each member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group, has no plan or intention to take any action inconsistent with any request for a Ruling submitted to the CRA or the Canadian Tax-Free Status or the covenants set forth in this Agreement.

(b) SnackCo will not take or fail to take, or permit any member of its Group to take or fail to take, any action (which includes the undertaking of any transaction) where that action or omission would (i) violate, be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any covenant, representation or statement made in any Ruling request submitted to the CRA or (ii) prevent, or be reasonably likely to prevent, or be inconsistent with, the Canadian Tax-Free Status.

(c) If SnackCo (or any member of the SnackCo Post-Distribution Group) intends during the two-year period following the Distribution to undertake any transaction that would be reasonably likely to cause the Butterfly Transactions to fail to qualify for Canadian Tax-Free Status, it shall not undertake such transaction without first obtaining a supplementary Ruling or opinion of a nationally recognized law firm that provides that such transaction will not cause the Butterfly Transactions to fail to qualify for Canadian Tax-Free Status. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receipt of any Ruling or opinion of a nationally recognized law firm shall not relieve SnackCo of any of its indemnity obligations arising under Article V of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

TAX CONTESTS

8.01 Notice. Each Party shall provide (and shall cause the members of its Group to provide) prompt notice to the other Party of any written communication from a Taxing Authority regarding any pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment or proceeding, or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware (i) related to any Tax for which it or any member of its Group is indemnified by the other Party under this Agreement, (ii) the resolution of which has the potential to affect the Tax liability of the other Party or any member of its Group under this Agreement or (iii) related to any Residual Indemnity Obligation, Specified Indemnity Obligation, or FIN 45 Indemnity Obligation for which the other Party or any member of such Party’s Group would be liable under this Agreement. Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Taxing Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Taxing Authority in respect of any such matters.

8.02 Representation with Respect to Tax Contests.

(a) General. The Controlling Party with respect to any Tax Contest shall have the right to control such Tax Contest, including the right to (i) contest, compromise, or settle any adjustment or deficiency proposed, asserted or assessed as a result of any audit with respect to such Tax; (ii) file, prosecute, compromise or settle any claim for refund with respect to such Tax; and (iii) determine whether any refunds with respect to such Tax shall be paid by way of refund or credited against any liability for any other Tax; provided, however, that, in settling any Tax Contest related to U.S. Federal Income Taxes the compromise or resolution of which could result in GroceryCo (or any member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group) having an increased liability for State Income Taxes (a “Specified U.S. Income Tax Contest”), SnackCo shall reasonably attempt to compromise or settle such Specified U.S. Income Tax Contest in a manner that would minimize any resulting GroceryCo liability (or the liability of any member of the GroceryCo Post-Distribution Group) for State Income Taxes, unless doing so would have a material adverse effect on SnackCo.

(b) Non-Canadian Transaction Tax Contests. Notwithstanding Section 8.02(a) of this Agreement, SnackCo shall have sole control over any Non-Canadian Transaction Tax Contest, unless GroceryCo acknowledges in writing that it has sole liability under Section 5.02(b) of this Agreement for any Non-Canadian Transaction Taxes that may arise in such Non-Canadian Transaction Tax Contest, in which case GroceryCo shall have sole control over such Non-Canadian Transaction Tax Contest.

(c) Canadian Transaction Tax Contests. Notwithstanding Section 8.02(a) of this Agreement, GroceryCo shall have sole control over any Canadian Transaction Tax Contest, unless SnackCo acknowledges in writing that it has sole liability under Section 5.03(b) of this Agreement for any Canadian Transaction Taxes that may arise in such Canadian Transaction Tax Contest, in which case SnackCo shall have sole control over such Canadian Transaction Tax Contest.

(d) Information. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party timely informed with respect to any material information (including, but not limited to, any decision to commence litigation) relating to (i) any Tax Contest that has the potential to affect the Tax liability of the Non-Controlling Party (or any member of its Group) or (ii) any Tax Contest related to any Transaction Taxes.

(e) Participation Rights. The Non-Controlling Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in (including the opportunity to review and provide reasonable comments on the Controlling Party’s communications with a Taxing Authority or any court of law) and advise on (including any strategy for settlement) any Tax Contest that (i) has the potential to affect the Tax liability of the Non-Controlling Party if (1) such Tax Contest is in litigation or (2) such Tax Contest involves an issue with respect to which the IRS has asserted an adjustment in taxable income of at least $100,000,000 in a revenue agent’s report or (ii) relates to Canadian Transaction Taxes if (1) such Tax Contest is in litigation or (2) such Tax Contest involves an issue with respect to which the CRA has asserted an adjustment in taxable income of at least $100,000,000 in a 30-day proposal letter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Controlling Party shall continue to have all rights and authority to control the Tax Contest as set forth in Sections 8.02(a), (b), or (c) of this Agreement regardless of whether the Non-Controlling Party has exercised its participation rights under this Section 8.02(e).

(f) Failure to Notify. The failure of one Party (or any member of its Group) to timely forward notification in accordance with Section 8.01 of this Agreement shall not relieve the other Party of any obligation to pay such Tax or adjustment or indemnify the first Party, except to the extent the other Party (or any member of its Group) was actually materially prejudiced by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the other Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the first Party.

(g) Costs. The Controlling Party shall be liable for all costs incurred in connection with a Tax Contest (including any Tax Contest related to any Transaction Taxes), including (i) the payment of any Tax in the event the Controlling Party seeks to litigate any Tax refund in a refund forum, (ii) the posting of any bond or making of any deposit required in connection with such Tax Contest or (iii) the payment of any other amount required to be paid under applicable law with respect to any assessment of Tax whether or not such assessment is subject to further dispute or challenge.

ARTICLE IX

PAYMENTS

9.01 Method of Payment. All payments required by this Agreement shall be made by (i) wire transfer to the appropriate bank account as may from time to time be designated by the Parties for such purpose, or (ii) any other method agreed to by the Parties. All payments due under this Agreement shall be deemed to be paid when available funds are actually received by the payee.

9.02 Interest. Any payment required to be made by this Agreement that is not made on or before the date required hereunder shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the rate of interest from time to time announced publicly by The Wall Street Journal as its prime rate, calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the number of days elapsed.

9.03 Characterization of Payments. For all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required pursuant to a Final Determination or other applicable law, the Parties hereto agree to treat, and to cause their respective affiliates to treat, any payment required by this Agreement (to the extent not otherwise treated as a payment in respect of an existing intercompany account) either as a contribution by SnackCo to GroceryCo or as a distribution by GroceryCo to SnackCo, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Distribution.

9.04 Tax Gross Up. In the event that a Party (or member of its Group) receives any indemnity payment under Article V of this Agreement and suffers a Tax Detriment attributable to the receipt of such payment, the amount of such payment shall be increased to place the Party (or member of its Group) receiving the payment in the same after-Tax position it would have enjoyed if there was no Tax Detriment associated with such payment.
