Notwithstanding any other provision of the Tender Offer, the obligation of Mondelz International to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn is further subject to, and conditioned upon, the successful completion (in Mondelz Internationals sole opinion) of some form of debt financing designated to raise sufficient funds to purchase all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, including premium but excluding any Accrued Interest, subject to the Maximum Tender Amount and the applicable Maximum Tender SubCap, and accepted for purchase by Mondelz International and to pay all fees and expenses in connection with the Tender Offer (the Financing Condition), unless Mondelz International (in its sole discretion) elects to waive the Financing Condition.

After such time, Holders may not withdraw their Notes, unless Mondelz International is otherwise required by applicable law to permit withdrawal, in which case withdrawal rights will be extended, in accordance with applicable law, as Mondelz International determines to be appropriate to allow tendering Holders a reasonable opportunity to respond. In the event of a termination of the Tender Offer either in whole or with respect to any series of Notes, any Notes as to which the Tender Offer has been terminated that have been validly tendered will be promptly returned in accordance with applicable law. Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer and not purchased due to the Maximum Tender Amount, applicable Maximum Tender SubCap, priority acceptance procedures, proration or a defect in the tender will be returned to the tendering Holders promptly following the Expiration Date.
