3 Services Agreement This Agreement dated October 23, 2009 is between Exel Inc. ("Exel") and Kane County Health Department ("Kane County"). In September 2009, Kane County requested that Exel provide storage space for the H1 N1 vaccine ("Vaccine") at the Kraft facility where Exel provides warehousing services for Kraft and Exel has agreed to do so at no charge to Kane County for the warehousing services. Exel conditioned on the written consent of Kraft Foods Global, Inc. ("Kraft"} below has agreed to allow the Vaccine to be stored at the Kraft owned facility as an accommodation to Kane County pursuant to the following terms and conditions: 1. Services. a. Conditioned on the written consent of Kraft, Exel shall provide Kane County the services detailed in Exhibit A ("Services") in accordance with the requirements and specifications for the storage of the Vaccine set forth in Exhibit A. The Services will be provided at the Kraft owned facility where Exel provides warehousing services to Kraft which is located at 2303 West Indian Trail, Aurora, Illinois ("Facility"). b. Kane County represents and warrants that the Vaccine delivered to Exel at the Facility shall be packaged in accordance with applicable laws and in a way so as to prevent any harm to persons or property at the Facility. c. Exel shall receive and store the Vaccine in accordance with Exhibit A and all Vaccine to be received and stored by Exel shall be delivered to the Facility during the Facility's normal business hours, properly segregated, marked and packaged for handling and storage and a manifest for the same shall be furnished to Exel identifying the Vaccine. d. Exel may at any time refuse, without liability of any kind, to accept any Vaccine if in its sole discretion it determines that to allow the Vaccine to be stored in the Facility would cause any personal injury or property damage; provided, however, there is no obligation on the part of Exel to inspect or examine the Vaccines stored in the Facility. In any such event, Exel shall promptly notify Kane County of its refusal to accept any such Vaccine and the reasons for its refusal and shall return the same to its originating point. Exel has no responsibility to inspect or examine the Vaccine or its packaging. e. Exel shall not be liable for charges or costs of any kind related to the provision of Services, including without limitation, shipping, receiving, demurrage or detention charges ("Charges").

Exel and Customer agree that in the provision of Services, each party shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities ("Laws") in connection therewith. Kane County shall assist Exel in identifying those Laws that may be necessary because of the nature of the Vaccine. If any such compliance, because of the nature of the Vaccine, requires that the Facility be altered or modified in any way or Exel is required to obtain any special governmental permits or licenses or to provide special training to its employees, Kane County shall pay for the costs of the same including the state license required to store the Vaccine. g.

If non-hazardous waste is generated from the Vaccine, Exel shall dispose of the same. Exel and Kane County shall confer, if deemed necessary by Exel, to determine if any waste generated is hazardous.
