Master Transition Services Agreement

Services Provided

We will enter into a master transition services agreement with Sara Lee pursuant to which each party will provide to the other party specified support services related to human resources and financial shared services for a period of seven months with one 90-day renewal term, tax-shared services for a period of one year with one 15-month renewal term, information technology services for a period ranging from six months with no renewal term to one year with indefinite renewal terms based on service provided and other shared services after the distribution date. Each of these services will be provided for a fee, which will differ depending upon the service. We expect to receive total fees from Sara Lee of approximately $4 million for transition services during the initial service periods under the agreement, and we expect to pay fees to Sara Lee of approximately $200,000 for transition services under the agreement. In addition, Sara Lee has agreed to provide tax consulting assistance to us at a price of $120 per hour. If after the spin off and during the term of the master transition services agreement, a party identifies a service the other party previously provided to such party prior to the distribution date, but such service was not identified in the master transition services agreement, then upon the consent of the other party, such service will be added to the master transition services agreement on such terms as the parties shall negotiate in good faith. Under the master transition services agreement, if the provider of services is obtaining analogous services for itself from third parties, the provider may perform its service obligations to the other party by use of such third parties.

Limitation on Damages

We and Sara Lee will agree to waive, and neither we nor Sara Lee will be able to seek consequential, special, indirect or incidental damages or punitive damages. We and Sara Lee also will agree to indemnify the provider of services against third-party claims other than those arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the provider.
