DECISION AND ORDER

Respondents, their attorneys, and counsel for the Commission having thereafter executed an Agreement Containing Consent Orders ("Consent Agreement"), containing an admission by Respondents of all the jurisdictional facts set forth in the aforesaid draft of Complaint, a statement that the signing of said Consent Agreement is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by Respondents that the law has been violated as alleged in such Complaint, or that the facts as alleged in such Complaint, other than jurisdictional facts, are true, and waivers and other provisions as required by the Commission's Rules; and

The Commission having thereafter considered the matter and having determined that it had reason to believe that Respondents have violated Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and that the acquisition, if consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and that a Complaint should issue stating its charges in that respect, and having thereupon issued its Complaint and an Order to Maintain Assets, and having accepted the executed Consent Agreement and placed such Consent Agreement on the public record for a period of thirty (30) days for the receipt and consideration of public comments, now in further conformity with the procedure described in Commission Rule 2.34, 16 C.F.R. § 2.34, the Commission hereby makes the following jurisdictional findings and issues the following Decision and Order ("Order"):

Provided, however, that from and after the Acquisition Date, this obligation shall be the responsibility of Dreyer's.

E. At the request of the Commission Approved Acquirer, for a period not to exceed one (1) year from the date Respondents divest the Assets To Be Divested, Dreyer's shall supply such types and quantities of Dreamery, Godiva ice cream and Whole Fruit as are requested by the Commission Approved Acquirer at a price that does not exceed Dreyer's Production Costs.

In distributing product for the Commission Approved Acquirer, Dreyer's shall utilize its distribution assets in an efficient manner and shall not discriminate against the Commission Approved Acquirer and in favor of its own products. Provided, however, that nothing in this Order shall prohibit Respondents from entering into contracts or arrangements in the ordinary course of business to distribute product for the Commission Approved Acquirer for periods beyond one (1) year.

G. At the request of the Commission Approved Acquirer, for a period not to exceed one (1) year from the date Respondents divest the Assets To Be Divested, Dreyer's shall provide technical assistance to the Commission Approved Acquirer to enable the Commission Approved Acquirer to manufacture Dreamery, Godiva ice cream and Whole Fruit to the same quality and at the same efficiency as achieved by Dreyer's prior to the Acquisition.

K. The purpose of the divestiture of the Assets To Be Divested is to ensure the continued use of the Assets To Be Divested in the same business in which such assets were engaged at the time of the announcement of the Acquisition by Respondents and to remedy the lessening of competition that would result from the Acquisition as alleged in the Commission's complaint.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:

A.

4. The trustee shall have twelve (12) months from the date the Commission approves the trust agreement described in Paragraph V.

The trustee shall have the authority to employ, at the cost and expense of Respondents, such consultants, accountants, attorneys, investment bankers, business brokers, appraisers, and other representatives and assistants as are necessary to carry out the trustee's duties and responsibilities. The trustee shall account for all monies derived from the divestiture and all expenses incurred. After approval by the Commission and, in the case of a court-appointed trustee, by the court, of the account of the trustee, including fees for his or her services, all remaining monies shall be paid at the direction of the Respondents, and the trustee's power shall be terminated. The trustee's compensation shall be based at least in significant part on a commission arrangement contingent on the trustee's divesting the Assets To Be Divested.

11. The trustee may also divest such additional ancillary assets and effect such arrangements related to the Assets To Be Divested, as approved by the Commission, that the trustee demonstrates are necessary to accomplish divestiture of the Assets To Be Divested.

12. The trustee shall have no obligation or authority to operate or maintain the Assets To Be Divested.

13. The trustee shall report in writing to Respondents and the Commission every sixty (60) days concerning the trustee's efforts to accomplish the divestitures and to obtain the necessary consents.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Dreyer's shall allow Mars to terminate its agreements and joint ventures with Dreyer's without paying any termination fees or expenses pursuant to and in accordance with the Mars Termination Agreement. Dreyer's shall comply with all the terms of the Mars Termination Agreement (which agreement shall not vary or contradict, or be construed to vary or contradict, the terms of this Order or the Order to Maintain Assets), and such agreement shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Order. Failure to comply with the Mars Termination Agreement shall constitute a failure to comply with this Order. Prior to the dissolution of the agreements and joint venture between Mars and Dreyer's, as enumerated in the Mars Termination Agreement, Dreyer's shall fully comply with its obligations under the agreements and joint venture. In the conduct of its business, Dreyer's will not discriminate against Mars and in favor of its own products in connection with fulfilling its obligations under the agreements and joint venture referred to herein.
