- 7 -

(b) the applicable waiting periods (including any extensions) shall have expired or been terminated without receipt of a negative or conditional response where such expiry or termination has the same legal effect as an unconditional clearance.

3.2 In particular in respect of the condition set out in Clause 3.1.1:

The Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to achieve satisfaction of the conditions referred to in paragraphs 9 and 10 of Schedule 7 and this Clause 3.3.2 shall apply mutatis mutandis as if references to the Buyer were references to the Seller and vice versa and references to the Filing were references to the filings in relation to the matters referred to in paragraphs 9 and 10 of Schedule 7.

3.3.3  Seller will provide the Buyer with such assistance and information as the Buyer may reasonably require in connection with the satisfaction of the condition. In particular, Seller will not do or omit to do anything that might prevent Buyer from fully complying with any commitments, undertakings or divestments given or offered by Buyer to a Relevant Agency in connection with any Filing and Seller will promptly take any action reasonably required by Buyer to ensure that Buyer is able to comply with any such commitments, undertakings or divestments.

4.1 Closing will take place on the last Business Day of the month in which the conditions set out in Clause 3.1 are satisfied (or, in respect of the condition set out in Clause 3.1.1 hereof, is waived by the Buyer); provided, that if such conditions (other than the condition set out in paragraph 10 of Schedule 7 which shall be satisfied before the Closing Date) are so satisfied or waived after the twentieth (20^th) day of such month, then the Closing shall take place on the last Business Day of the next calendar month unless otherwise agreed by the parties (the date on which the Closing occurs being referred to as the “Closing Date”).

4.2.1  any Regulatory Approval or Third Party Right in respect of the Chinese Reorganisation, the transfer of the shares in any Chinese Subsidiary to the Singapore SPV and/or the Pakistani JV (in each case as set out in Clause 7) has not been obtained, then, if requested by the Seller, the parties shall be required to complete the Closing with respect to all Shares and Assets other than the Singapore SPV and/or the Pakistani JV, as the case may be.

Completion of the transfer of the shares in the Singapore SPV and/or the Pakistani JV shall occur,

- 9 -

respectively, in accordance with the provisions of Clauses 4.8 and 4.9 as soon as the requisite Regulatory Approval or Third Party Right has been obtained. In this event references to “Closing” or “Closing Date” in this Agreement shall be construed with respect to the Singapore SPV or the Pakistani JV (as the case may be) as meaning the Chinese Closing Date or the date of transfer of the shares in the Pakistani JV to the Buyer (as the case may be) as provided in those Clauses;

Completion of the transfer of the Shares in the Malaysian Companies and/or the Indonesian Company shall occur in accordance with the provisions of Clause 4.10 as soon as the relevant outstanding condition has been satisfied. In this event, references to “Closing” or to “Closing Date” in this Agreement shall be construed with respect to the Malaysian Companies or the Indonesian Company (as the case may be) as meaning the date of transfer of the Shares in the relevant company to the Buyer as provided in Clause 4.10. If the Closing with respect to the Shares in either the Malaysian Companies or the Indonesian Company is completed and the Closing with respect to the Shares in the other is not completed within one month thereafter, the Buyer (if the Closing with respect to the Shares in the Malaysian Companies has been completed) or the Seller (if the Closing with respect to the Shares in the Indonesian Company has been completed) shall procure that Britannia Brands (Kuan) Pte Ltd transfers as soon as reasonably possible full legal and beneficial title to any share it owns in the Indonesian Company and PT DBSD (free from encumbrances) to a person nominated by the other party for nominal consideration. During such one month period, the Buyer or the Seller (as the case may be) shall procure that Britannia Brands (Kuan) Pte Ltd shall not exercise any rights in respect of such shares other than in accordance with the instructions of the other party; and

4.2.3  the condition set out in paragraph 1.3 or 2(b) of Schedule 8 is not satisfied, the parties shall complete the Closing with respect to all the Shares and Assets and the Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to procure that such condition is satisfied as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

If the right of first refusal is waived or not exercised by GSY but the requisite regulatory or government approval (a “Regulatory Approval”) to the Transfer is not obtained within the subsequent 90 days provided for in the relevant joint venture agreement (as extended by the regulatory process), the Seller shall procure that the process is repeated.

Seller will cooperate with Buyer and provide all reasonable assistance in connection with any application for regulatory or governmental approvals required in connection with the transfer of the Chinese JV, the other Chinese Subsidiaries and the Singapore SPV, which applications shall be made as soon as practicable after signature of this Agreement. If any Regulatory Approval in respect of the transfer of the Chinese JV or any of the other Chinese Subsidiaries to the Singapore SPV and indirectly at Closing to Kraft or otherwise in respect of the Chinese Reorganisation is denied or the consent of the board of the Chinese JV (if required) is refused prior to Closing, then the Singapore SPV and all of the Chinese Subsidiaries (including the Chinese JV) will be excluded from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amounts set forth opposite the names of the Chinese Subsidiaries in Part D of Schedule 2. The Buyer agrees that the Seller (or a Group Company) may, prior to Closing, purchase any of the shares in the Chinese JV that it does not own.

The Seller has notified Ezaki Glico of the change of control that will result from the transactions contemplated hereby and Générale Biscuit will on the Closing Date notify Ezaki Glico of the occurrence of the change of control.
