The Parties have made a good faith effort as of the date hereof to identify each Transition Service and to complete the content of the Exhibits accurately. It is anticipated that the Parties will modify the Transition Services from time to time. In that case or to the extent that any Exhibit is incomplete, the Parties will use good faith efforts to modify the Exhibits. There are certain terms that are specifically addressed in the Exhibits attached hereto that may differ from the terms provided hereunder. In those cases, the specific terms described in the Exhibits shall govern that Transition Service.

(b) The Parties may also identify additional Services that they wish to incorporate into this Agreement. The Parties will create additional Exhibits setting forth the description of such Services, the Fees for such Services and any other applicable terms.

ALCS will provide the Transition Services either through its own resources, through the resources of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, or by contracting with independent contractors as agreed hereunder. To the extent that ALCS decides to provide a Transition Service through an independent contractor in the future, ALCS shall consult with and obtain the prior approval of PMI, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

In providing the Transition Services hereunder, ALCS will exercise the same degree of care as it has historically exercised in providing such Transition Services to its Affiliates prior to the date hereof, including at least the same level of quality, responsiveness and timeliness as has been exercised by ALCS with respect to such Transition Services.

ALCS shall keep full and detailed records dealing with all aspects of the Transition Services performed by it hereunder (the “Records”) and:

(a) shall provide access to the Records to PMI at all reasonable times; and

(b) shall maintain the Records in accordance with good record management practices and with at least the same degree of completeness and care as it maintains for its other similar business interests.

ARTICLE III

FEES

PMI will pay to ALCS a fixed fee for each Transition Service as set forth in the attached Exhibits (collectively, the “Fees”).

Notwithstanding the terms of any of the Exhibits, the Fees for each Transition Service shall be reduced by any amounts PMI is required to pay pursuant to Section 4.1(c) of the Employee Matters Agreement (the “Employee Matters Agreement”), dated as of even date herewith, between PMI and Altria, with respect to any person who provides Services under this Agreement and thereafter becomes a PMI Transferee (as defined in the Employee Matters Agreement). Except as specifically provided herein or in the Exhibits, or as subsequently agreed by PMI and ALCS, PMI will not be responsible to ALCS or any independent contractor retained by ALCS, for any additional fees, charges, costs or expenses relating to the Services, unless such additional fees, charges, costs or expenses are a direct result of PMI’s unilateral deviation from the scope of the services defined in the Exhibits.

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

10

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. The PMI Group similarly agrees to cause the trust under the Philip Morris International Retirement Plan to make a direct transfer (or transfers) of assets to the trust established under the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees in an amount determined by the actuary for the Philip Morris International Retirement Plan and agreed to by the actuary for the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees, equal to the amount required to be transferred pursuant to Section 414( l ) of the Code with respect to those Altria Transferees who were participants in the Philip Morris International Retirement Plan and who transferred after the Distribution Date.

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

11

(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

12

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 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

15

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.

16

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

17

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.

18

(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

19

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 .

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

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.

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

21

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.

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.

On a date that is at least ten days prior to the due date for each Combined State Tax return for a taxable year to which Section 2.01 of this Agreement applies, PMI shall deliver to Altria a PMI Pro Forma Combined State Return (together with the PMI Pro Forma Federal Return, the “PMI Pro Forma Returns”) reflecting the relevant PMI Combined State Tax Liability on an estimated basis. PMI’s preparation and delivery of the PMI Pro Forma Federal Return shall include related schedules and returns, including, but not limited to, preparation of Form 1118 or in the alternative, a schedule reflecting what is on Form 1118, for purposes of computing any separate foreign tax credit limitation under Section 904(d) of the Code.

The amount of any such tax saving for any taxable period shall be the amount of the reduction in Taxes payable to a Taxing Authority with respect to such tax period, including with respect to any estimated Tax payments, as compared to the Taxes that would have been payable to a Taxing Authority by the Altria U.S. Group with respect to such tax period in the absence of such Tax Asset.

(b) If, subsequent to the payment by Altria to PMI of any amount pursuant to (or in accordance with the principles of) Section 2.03(a), there shall be a Final Determination that results in a disallowance or a reduction of the Tax Asset of the PMI Group so carried back, PMI shall repay to Altria, within thirty days after such Final Determination, any amount that would not have been payable to PMI pursuant to (or in accordance with the principles of) Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement had the amount of the tax benefit been determined in light of the Final Determination.

Altria and PMI each covenant (1) to use their best efforts to verify that the foregoing representations made by it in Article V are accurate and complete as of the Distribution Date and (2) if, after the date hereof, either obtains information indicating, or otherwise becomes aware, that any such representations are or may be inaccurate or incomplete, promptly to inform Altria or PMI, as the case may be.

6.02 Specific PMI Covenants . PMI may take actions inconsistent with the representations in Section 5.01 of this Agreement and covenants in this Section 6.02 only if, prior to taking such action, PMI (1) provides notification, upon determining that it shall pursue such action, to Altria of its plans with respect to such action, and promptly responds to any inquiries made by Altria following such notification, and (2) obtains Altria’s written consent to such action (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

(a) During the two-year period following the Distribution Date, PMI will not liquidate or 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 percent or greater interest (by vote or value) in the combined company.

(b) During the two-year period following the Distribution Date, PMI and each of its Subsidiaries will not transfer all or substantially all of its assets in a transaction, including all or substantially all of the assets of PMI’s active trade or business used to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code.

(c) During the two-year period following the Distribution Date, PMI will continue the active conduct of its trade or business used to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code.

12

(f) During the two-year period following the Distribution Date, PMI will 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 may alone or in the aggregate 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 PMI representing a forty percent or greater interest (by vote or value); or (ii) which would result in a transaction described in Section 6.02(a) above.

(g) PMI will not otherwise take any action or fail to take any other action, which action or failure to act may result in Distribution Taxes.

(h) For purposes of paragraphs (a), (e) and (f) of Section 6.02, whether a forty 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 PMI 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.

(b) The failure of Altria timely to forward notification in accordance with Section 7.01(a) shall not relieve PMI of any obligation to pay such Tax or adjustment or indemnify Altria, except to the extent PMI was actually materially prejudiced by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve PMI from any other liability or obligation which it may have to Altria.

REQUESTS FOR ATI

6.01 During the Transition Period .

(a) At any time during the Transition Period, either Party shall be entitled to request ATI from the other Party or its Affiliates regarding:

-8-

ARTICLE VII

INDEPENDENT INVENTIONS

7.01 Presumption . The Parties have reviewed the long historical experience with the Cost Sharing Agreements, including:

(a) the time typically required to analyze research and development results and conceive of an invention;

(b) the time that typically elapses between the conception of an invention, its actual reduction to practice and the filing of a patent application for that invention or the inclusion of that invention in a new product; and

(c) the expenditure by the Parties or their Affiliates of considerable resources and millions of dollars in the course of their long-standing and close research and development cooperation and collaboration.

Based on that review, in the judgment of those persons at both Parties (and their Affiliates) who have worked most closely on the creation of the Jointly Funded IP, the Parties have concluded that it is highly probable that any Independent Invention in a Field of Use:

(i) for which a Party or an Affiliate of that Party files a patent application during the Transition Period; or

(ii) that the Party or an Affiliate of that Party incorporates into a new product during the Transition Period

will be Non-Severable and will substantially arise from the Jointly Funded IP.

7.02 Patented Independent Inventions — Transition Period .

(a) If, during the Transition Period, either Party or an Affiliate of a Party (collectively, the “filing Party”) files, or a Third Party files on behalf of a filing Party, a patent application on an Independent Invention that is within a Field of Use, then the filing Party shall notify the other Party in writing no later than the Notice Date. With respect to all Intellectual Property that is included in such Independent Invention and is described or claimed in such patent application:

(i) PM USA shall own all such Intellectual Property rights in the U.S.; and

(ii) PMI or an Affiliate of PMI shall own all such Intellectual Property rights outside the U.S.,

unless the filing Party is able to demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Party that the Independent Invention is Severable or does not substantially arise from the Jointly Funded IP. If the Parties are unable to agree, they shall submit the matter for resolution under Article IX hereof.

-9-

(b) If the Parties agree, or the mediator or the arbitrator pursuant to Section 9.03 or 9.04 hereof determines, that the Independent Invention for which a patent application is filed during the Transition Period either:

(i) is not within a Field of Use; or

(ii) does not substantially arise from the Jointly Funded IP;

then this Agreement shall not apply to such Independent Invention.

(c) If the Parties agree, or the mediator or the arbitrator pursuant to Section 9.03 or 9.04 hereof determines, that the Independent Invention for which a patent application is filed during the Transition Period:

(i) is within a Field of Use; and

(ii) substantially arises from the Jointly Funded IP; but

(iii) is Severable;

then the terms of subparagraph (b) of Section 7.03 hereof shall apply.

7.03 Patented Independent Inventions — Option Period .

(a) If, during the Option Period but after the expiration of the Transition Period, a filing Party, or a Third Party on behalf of a filing Party, files a patent application on an Independent Invention that:

(i) is within a Field of Use; and

(ii) substantially arises from Jointly Funded IP;

then the filing Party shall notify the other Party in writing no later than the Notice Date of the filing of such patent application and the terms of subparagraph (b) of this Section 7.03 shall apply.

(b) After final agreement or determination pursuant to subparagraph (c) of Section 7.02 hereof or receipt of notice pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this Section 7.03 , the receiving Party shall have 30 days to notify the filing Party in writing as to whether the receiving Party elects to enter into negotiations pursuant to which the receiving Party or its Affiliates (collectively, the “receiving Party”) will obtain ownership or license rights in the receiving Party’s Territory with respect to such Independent Invention. Such written notice shall include a summary of the terms upon which the receiving Party proposes to acquire such ownership or license rights for the Independent Invention, including acquisition or license fees or royalties, length and country or countries of ownership or license, exclusivity and covenants of use.

-10-

(c) If the receiving Party elects to make an offer and enter into negotiations pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this Section 7.03 , then the Parties or their respective Affiliates shall engage in good faith negotiations on an arm’s length basis with respect to the terms of an agreement regarding the Independent Invention. The Persons engaged in the negotiations may structure any such agreement in any manner that they shall determine. If any legal deadlines occur with respect to filing of corresponding patent applications on the Independent Invention in the receiving Party’s Territory during such negotiations, then, if the receiving Party so requests, the filing Party shall file such corresponding patent applications at the sole expense of the receiving Party, subject to the option rights set forth in subsection (d) of this Section 7.03 .

(d) If:

(i) the receiving Party elects not to make an offer;

(ii) the receiving Party breaks off negotiations by written notice; or

(iii) no agreement is reached by the Parties within three months from the Notice Date (unless extended by mutual agreement of the Parties);

then the filing Party shall retain sole and exclusive ownership of Intellectual Property rights in the Independent Invention world-wide or may solicit offers from one or more Third Parties regarding ownership or license of the Independent Invention (each, a “Third-Party Offer”). Before accepting the Third-Party Offer, the filing Party shall deliver to the receiving Party in writing a summary of those terms of the Third-Party Offer that, the filing Party, considering all aspects of the offers taken as a whole, and acting reasonably and in good faith, believes improve upon the offer of the receiving Party; provided that if such summary contains competitively sensitive information ( e.g. , marketing information), the filing Party will deliver such information to an arbitrator chosen in accordance with Section 9.04 hereof in anticipation of seeking assistance in resolving the matter. The receiving Party shall have 30 days to offer in writing to match or improve upon the disclosed terms of the Third-Party Offer. If the filing Party, acting reasonably and in good faith, concludes that the receiving Party’s offer matches or improves upon the Third-Party Offer, the filing Party shall accept the receiving Party’s offer. If the filing Party, acting reasonably and in good faith, concludes that the receiving Party’s offer does not match or improve upon the Third-Party Offer, the filing Party shall so inform the receiving Party in writing within 10 days of receipt of the filing Party’s offer. If the receiving Party believes that the filing Party has not acted reasonably and in good faith, the receiving Party shall so inform the filing Party in writing within 10 days of receipt of the filing Party’s written notice and the Parties shall submit the matter promptly for resolution with the assistance of an arbitrator chosen in accordance with Section 9.04 hereof, which assistance shall be restricted to a determination whether the filing Party has acted reasonably and in good faith in concluding that the receiving Party’s offer does not match or improve upon the Third-Party Offer. If the receiving Party agrees with the filing Party’s conclusion that the receiving Party’s offer does not match or improve upon the Third-Party Offer or if the matter is resolved in accordance with Section 9.04 hereof in favor of the filing Party’s conclusion, the filing Party shall be free to accept the Third-Party Offer.

-11-

7.04 Independent Inventions — Not Patented . If at anytime during the Option Period, either Party or an Affiliate of a Party begins test marketing of a new product anywhere in its respective Territory that includes an unpatented Independent Invention that is within a Field of Use , all of the terms of Sections 7.01 , 7.02 and 7.03 hereof shall apply to the unpatented Independent Invention used in such product on the same basis as such terms apply to a patent application filed within the Transition Period or Option Period, as appropriate. For purposes of calculating deadlines pursuant to Sections, 7.01 , 7.02 and 7.03 hereof, in conjunction with this Section 7.04 , the date of commencement of such test marketing shall have the same effect as the filing of a patent application.

7.05 ATI . Any grant of rights during the Transition Period shall include the transfer of such ATI in Delivery Format as normally accompanies a patent license. With respect to all other grants of rights under Section 7.02(c) , 7.03 or 7.04 hereof in the Option Period, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith as to what ATI will be transferred to the receiving Party or its Affiliates.

ARTICLE VIII

(b) Each of PMI and PM USA and their respective Representatives shall exercise the same care with regard to Confidential Information other than Ultra Trade Secrets as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar Confidential Information.

ARTICLE IX

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

9.01 Step Process . Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof (a “Dispute”), shall be resolved by a series of three steps in the following sequence: (i) negotiation between members of the PMT; (ii) negotiation between senior executives with the possibility of mediation; and (iii) then binding arbitration. Each Party agrees on behalf of itself and its respective Affiliates that the procedures set forth in this Article IX shall be the exclusive means for resolution of any Dispute.

9.02 PMT Negotiation . The Parties agree that the PMT shall first attempt to resolve any Dispute.

9.03 Management Negotiation and Mediation . In the event that the Dispute is not settled by the PMT within 30 days from the time any Party first raises such Dispute in writing to the PMT, then any Party may request in writing (a “Negotiation Notice”) that the Parties attempt to resolve the Dispute by the direct discussions and negotiations, including if either Party so elects, negotiation among senior executives of PM USA and PMI. If all Parties to the Dispute agree, the Parties may also attempt to settle the Dispute by a mediation administered by the AAA under its Commercial Mediation Procedures. The Parties agree that any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled from the submission of a Negotiation Notice until the conclusion of the dispute resolution process outlined in this Article IX .

9.04 Arbitration .

(a) If a Dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the Negotiation Notice, any Party shall have the right to commence arbitration. In that event, the Dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the AAA in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”). The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. Any Dispute concerning the propriety of the commencement of the arbitration shall be finally settled by such arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.

-14-

(b) The number of arbitrators shall be one if the claims in such Dispute aggregate less than $100 million, and three if the claims in such Dispute aggregate $100 million or more. If the Parties are unable to agree on the amount of the claims, there shall be three arbitrators.

(c) If one arbitrator is to be chosen, the Parties agree to seek to reach agreement on the identity of the sole arbitrator within 30 days after the initiation of arbitration. If the parties do not reach agreement on the sole arbitrator within that time period, then the AAA shall appoint the sole arbitrator.

(d) If three arbitrators are to be chosen, the claimant shall appoint an arbitrator in its request for arbitration. The respondent shall appoint an arbitrator within 20 days of the receipt of the request for arbitration. The two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator who shall serve as chair of the tribunal, within 30 days after the appointment of the second arbitrator. If any of the three arbitrators is not appointed within the time prescribed above, then the AAA shall appoint that arbitrator.

9.05 Injunctive Relief . At any time during the resolution of a Dispute between the parties, including the PMT negotiation, either Party has the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim relief, including pre-arbitration attachments or injunctions, necessary to preserve the Parties’ rights or to maintain the Parties’ relative positions until such time as the arbitration award is rendered or the Dispute is otherwise resolved.

9.06 Remedies . The arbitrator(s) shall have no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement nor any right or power to award punitive or treble (or other multiple) damages.

9.07 Expenses . Each Party shall bear its own expenses and attorneys’ fees in pursuit and resolution of any Dispute. The Parties shall share equally the costs and expenses (including the fees of any neutral mediator or arbitrator) of any mediation or arbitration hereunder.
