AMENDED AND RESTATED UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
     1. Introductory. Kraft Foods Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell from time to time certain of its unsecured debt securities, in an aggregate principal amount expressed in U.S. dollars or in such foreign currencies or currency units as the Company shall designate at the time of the offering. Such debt securities, registered under the registration statement or statements referred to in Section 2(a), are hereinafter referred to as “Registered Securities.” Registered Securities involved in any offering referred to below are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Offered Securities” and such debt securities that are Offered Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Offered Debt Securities”. The Offered Debt Securities will be issued under an Indenture, dated as of October 17, 2001 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York (as successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee, specified in the Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3, in one or more series or issues, which may vary as to interest rates, maturities, redemption provisions, conversion provisions, exercise prices, expiration dates, selling prices, currency or currency units and other terms, with, in each case, all such terms for any particular Offered Securities being determined at the time of sale. Particular Offered Securities will be sold pursuant to a Terms Agreement, for resale in accordance with terms of offering determined at the time of sale.
     The firm or firms which agree to purchase the Offered Securities are hereinafter referred to as the “Underwriters” of such Offered Securities, and the representative or representatives of the Underwriters, if any, specified in a Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3 are hereinafter referred to as the “Representatives”; provided, however, that if the Terms Agreement does not specify any representative of the Underwriters, the term “Representatives”, as used in this Agreement (other than in Section 2(b), in the second sentence of Section 3 and the first and third use of the term “Representatives” in Section 6, where, in each case, the reference to the terms “through the Representatives” or “the names of any Representatives”, as the case may be, if the Terms Agreement does not specify any representatives of the Underwriters, shall be ignored), shall mean the Underwriters.
     2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company, as of the date of each Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that, except as disclosed in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined):
     (a) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and the rules and regulations of the Commission (the “Rules and Regulations”), a registration statement or statements on Form S-3 under the Act, including a prospectus, relating to the Registered Securities, and such registration statement or statements and any post-effective amendment thereto has or have become effective. Such registration statement or

statements, as amended at the time such registration statement or part thereof became effective and at the time of any Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3, in the form then filed with the Commission, including any documents incorporated by reference therein and any prospectus or prospectus supplement deemed or retroactively deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified, is or are hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”. For purposes of the definition of “Registration Statement,” information contained in a form of prospectus or prospectus supplement that is deemed retroactively to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B shall be considered to be included in the Registration Statement as of the time specified in Rule 430B. If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act to register a portion of the Offered Securities (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”) then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement. The prospectus covering the debt securities in the form first used on May 7, 2004 to confirm sales of the debt securities is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Prospectus.” “Preliminary Prospectus” means any preliminary prospectus included in the Registration Statement; the Preliminary Prospectus relating to the Securities that was included in the Registration Statement immediately prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below) is hereinafter called the “Pricing Prospectus”; and the final prospectus, in the form first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, including the Base Prospectus, is hereinafter called the “Prospectus.” “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Act. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, Prospectus, Pricing Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to include all documents incorporated therein by reference pursuant to the requirements of Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Act which have been filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended prior to the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement (the “Exchange Act”).
No order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been issued by the Commission, and on the effective date of the registration statement or statements relating to the Registered Securities, such registration statement or statements conformed, and any further amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement will conform, in all material respects to the requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”) and the Rules and Regulations and did not, and will not as of the applicable effective date as to each part of the Registration Statement, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and on the date of each Terms Agreement, on the date when filed and on each Closing Date, each as referred to in Section 3, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below) and each electronic roadshow used by the Company when taken together as a whole with the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and any further amendments or supplements thereto, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the Rules and Regulations, and none of such documents will include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the foregoing does not apply to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which constitutes the Statement of Eligibility and

     (a) The Company will file the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) not later than the Commission’s close of business on the second business day following the execution and delivery of the Terms Agreement or, if applicable, such earlier time as may be required by Rule 424(b).
     (b) The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus and will afford the Representatives a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed amendment or supplement; the Company will not undertake any such proposed amendment or supplement if the Representatives reasonably object in writing thereto; and the Company will also advise the Representatives promptly of the filing of any such amendment or supplement and of the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement or of any part thereof or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or other Prospectus in respect of the Offered Securities, and will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary or other Prospectus and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued.
     (c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Securities (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Act) is required to be delivered under the Act in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company promptly will notify the Representatives of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, at its own expense, an amendment or
