Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I hereto (or, if not defined in Exhibit I hereto, the meaning assigned to such term in Exhibit I to the Purchase Agreement hereinafter defined).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

Each of the Originators now owns, and from time to time hereafter will own, Receivables. Each of the Originators wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to its Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

Each of the Originators and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales of the Receivables from such Originator to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables originated by such Originator, and none of the Originators nor Buyer intends these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to any Originator.

Following the purchase of Receivables from each of the Originators, Buyer will sell undivided interests therein and in the associated Related Security and Collections pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of November 4, 2010 (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”) among Buyer, Ralcorp, as initial Master Servicer, the “Conduits” from time to time party thereto, the “Committed Purchasers” from time to time party thereto, the “Funding Agents” from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASE

Section 1.1 Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety the Existing Agreement and shall not constitute a novation thereof. From and after the Effective Date, (i) the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall, with respect to all future obligations and rights of the parties hereunder, amend and supersede the terms and provisions of the Existing Agreement in its entirety, (ii) the continuing rights, remedies and obligations of the parties with respect to any Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, and the proceeds thereof, acquired under the Existing Agreement shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Receivables, Related Security and Collections, and the proceeds thereof, had been conveyed under this Agreement, and (iii) all references in any other Transaction Documents to the Existing Agreement thereto shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall modify on a retroactive basis the terms and provisions of the Existing Agreement regarding the conditions precedent to the sales, conveyances, purchases and payments made thereunder prior to the effective date hereof and the consideration owed in respect thereof, all of which sales, conveyances, purchases and payments are hereby ratified.

Section 1.2 Purchase of Receivables.

(a) Effective on the date hereof, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each of the Originators does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase from such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to (i) all Receivables owned and originated by such Originator and existing as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date hereof (such Receivables, collectively, such Originator’s “Existing Receivables”) and (ii) all Receivables originated by such Originator after the Business Day prior to the date hereof through and including the Termination Date (collectively, such Originator’s “Future Receivables”), together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. In accordance with the preceding sentence, on the date hereof Buyer is acquiring all of each Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Existing Receivables, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof, and all Future Receivables, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for the Receivables purchased from each Originator hereunder in accordance with Section 1.3. In connection with payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables purchased from any Originator hereunder, Buyer may request that such Originator deliver, and such Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the sale of Receivables by each Originator hereunder shall constitute a “sale of accounts or payment intangibles” (as such phrase is used in Article 9 of the UCC), which sale is absolute and irrevocable and shall provide Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables originated by such Originator. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed to such Originator pursuant to Section 1.4, the sale hereunder of Receivables originated by any Originator is made without recourse to such Originator; provided, however, that (i) such Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of such Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables originated by such Originator, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of such Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that each sale of Receivables hereunder shall constitute an outright sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(ii), xxxx its master data processing records relating to the Receivables originated by it with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), each Originator will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables originated by such Originator and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.

Section 1.3 Payment for the Receivables.

(a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase from each Originator of its Existing Receivables shall be payable in full by Buyer to such Originator on the date hereof, and shall be paid to such Originator in the following manner:

(i) first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to Buyer in connection with its subsequent sale of an interest in the Existing Receivables to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement; and

(ii) second, the balance, by delivery of the proceeds of a subordinated revolving loan from such Originator to Buyer (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the least of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount, and (C) fifteen percent (15%) of such Purchase Price. Such Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.

The Purchase Price for each Future Receivable of each Originator shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to such Originator or its designee on the date each such Future Receivable came into existence (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by such Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to such Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b), (c) and (d).

(b) With respect to any Future Receivables of any Originator, on each Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor to the applicable Originator in accordance with Section 1.3(d) and in the following manner:

(i) first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of an interest in the Receivables to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand; and/or

(ii) second, by delivery of the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan, provided that the making of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.3(a)(ii); and/or

(iii) third, solely in the case of Receivables originated by Ralcorp and identified by Ralcorp as Future Contributed Receivables, by accepting such Future Contributed Receivables as a contribution by Ralcorp to Buyer’s capital.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3(a)(ii), such Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of such Originator’s Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from funds which Buyer is not required under the Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Purchasers.

(c) From and after the Termination Date, no Originator shall be obligated to (but may, at its option) sell its Receivables to Buyer unless such Originator reasonably determines that the Purchase Price therefor will be satisfied with funds available to Buyer from sales of interests in the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Collections, proceeds of Subordinated Loans, other cash on hand or otherwise. In addition, from and after the Termination Date, Ralcorp shall not be obligated to contribute Receivables to Buyer.

(d) Although the Purchase Price for each Future Receivable sold by any Originator shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to the applicable Originator on the date such Future Receivable came into existence, settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and such Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with respect to all Future Receivables originated by such Originator during the same Calculation Period and based on the information contained in the Monthly Report delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement for the Calculation Period then most recently ended. Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the applicable Subordinated Note made pursuant to Section 1.3(b) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates.

Section 1.4 Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If, on any day, any Originator is deemed to have received a Deemed Collection with respect to any Receivable sold by it to Buyer hereunder, then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable to such Originator hereunder in an amount equal to such Deemed Collection. If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the original Outstanding Balance of the Receivables originated by the applicable Originator on such day, then the applicable Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash not later than the next Settlement Date provided that if the Termination Date has not occurred, such Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any Indebtedness owed to it under its Subordinated Note to the extent permitted thereunder.

Section 1.5 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the applicable Originator designated from time to time by such Originator or as otherwise directed by such Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

Section 1.6 Transfer of Records.

(a) In connection with the Purchase of Receivables from each Originator hereunder, such Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Buyer all of such Originator’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all Receivables sold by such Originator hereunder, without the need for any further documentation in connection with the Purchase. In connection with such transfer, such Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the Agent and the Master Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by such Originator to account for the Receivables originated or serviced by such Originator, to the extent necessary to administer such Receivables, whether such software is owned by such Originator or is owned by others and used by such Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein, to be effective, such Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, such Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the indefeasible payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids, and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

(b) Each Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer and/or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and its assigns under the Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from such Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, the Agent and the Master Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for such Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

Section 1.7 Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.2(b), any sale or contribution by any Originator to Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not as a sale or contribution, or such sale or contribution shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable (any of the foregoing being a “Recharacterization”), then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, each Originator hereby grants to Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, and in all Collections and Related Security with respect thereto, each Lock-Box and Collection Account, all other rights and payments relating to the Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Receivables originated by such Originator together with all other obligations of such Originator hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. After the occurrence of an Amortization Event, Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. In the case of any Recharacterization, each Originator represents and warrants that each remittance of Collections by such Originator to Buyer under this Agreement will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by such Originator in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator.

Section 1.8 Ordinary Course. Buyer represents and warrants that each remittance of Collections by such Originator to Buyer under this Agreement will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by such Originator in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator.

ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of Originators. On the date of the Purchase and on each date that any Future Receivable is originated by such Originator, each Originator hereby represents and warrants to Buyer, as to such Originator and the Receivables originated by it, that:

(a) Existence and Standing. Such Originator is a corporation or limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state mentioned after its name in the preamble to this Agreement, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted except where the failure to so qualify or so hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Power and Authority; Due Authorization. Such Originator has all requisite power and authority (corporate and/or otherwise) and legal right to execute and deliver (or file, as the case may be) each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery (or filing, as the case may be) by such Originator of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper proceedings on the part of such Originator.

(c) No Conflict; No Bulk Sale. The execution and delivery by such Originator of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws or any shareholder agreements, voting trusts, and similar arrangements applicable to any of its authorized shares, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on assets of such Originator or its Subsidiaries (except as created hereunder) except, in any case, where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No transaction contemplated hereby with respect to such Originator requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

(d) Governmental Authorization. Other than the filing of the financing statements required hereunder, no order, consent, approval, qualification, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of, any Governmental Authority, or any subdivision thereof, any securities exchange or other Person is or at the relevant time was required to authorize, or is or at the relevant time was required in connection with the execution, delivery, consummation or performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Transaction Documents, the application of the proceeds of the Purchase or any other transaction contemplated in the Transaction Documents.

(e) Actions, Suits. There is no litigation, arbitration, proceeding, inquiry or governmental investigation (including, without limitation, by the Federal Trade Commission) pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting Ralcorp or any Subsidiary or any of their respective Properties which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or to prevent, enjoin or unduly delay the Purchase under this Agreement.

(f) Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Originator is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Originator, enforceable against such Originator in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

(g) Accuracy of Information. None of the (a) information, exhibits or reports furnished or to be furnished by such Originator or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or the Agent, as Buyer’s assignee) in connection with the negotiation of the Transaction Documents, or (b) representations or warranties of such Originator or any of its Affiliates contained in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any certificate or other written information furnished to Buyer (or the Agent, as Buyer’s assignee) by or on behalf of such Originator or any of its Affiliates pursuant to a request from Buyer (or the Agent, as Buyer’s assignee) permitted hereunder and for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, taken as a whole, contained, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. There is no fact known to such Originator (other than matters of a general economic nature) that has had since September 30, 2009, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect and that has not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and other written information furnished to Buyer (or the Agent, as Buyer’s assignee) for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) Use of Proceeds. No proceeds of the Purchase from such Originator hereunder will be used (i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Originator or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 12, 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(i) Good Title. Immediately prior to the Purchase from such Originator hereunder and upon origination by such Originator of each Future Receivable, such Originator (i) is the legal and beneficial owner of the Receivables originated by it and (ii) is the legal and beneficial owner of the Related Security with respect thereto or possesses a valid and perfected security interest therein, in each case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transaction Documents. There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect such Originator’s ownership interest in each Receivable, its Collections and the Related Security.

(j) Perfection. This Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements contemplated hereby, is effective to transfer to Buyer (and Buyer shall acquire from such Originator) (i) legal and equitable title to, with the right to sell and encumber each Receivable originated by such Originator, whether now existing or hereafter arising, together with the Collections with respect thereto, and (ii) all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in the Related Security associated with each such Receivable, in each case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transactions Documents. There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables originated by such Originator, the Related Security and the Collections.

(k) Places of Business and Locations of Records. The principal places of business and chief executive office of such Originator and the offices where it keeps all of its Records are located at the address(es) listed on Exhibit II or such other locations of which Buyer has been notified in accordance with Section 4.2(a) in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 4.2(a) has been taken and completed. Such Originator’s Federal Employer Identification Number is correctly set forth on Exhibit II. Such Originator has not, within a period of one year prior to the date hereof, (i) changed the location of its principal place of business or chief executive office or its organizational structure, (ii) changed its legal name, (iii) changed its “location” (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC as in effect in all applicable jurisdictions), or (iv) become a “new debtor” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(56) of the UCC as in effect in all applicable jurisdictions) with respect to a currently effective security agreement previously entered into by any other Person. Such Originator has not changed its jurisdiction of organization since the date of this Agreement.

(l) Collections. The conditions and requirements set forth in Section 4.1(i) have at all times been satisfied and duly performed. The names and addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the account numbers of the Collection Accounts of such Originator at each Collection Bank and the post office box number of each Lock-Box, are listed on Exhibit III. Such Originator has not granted any Person, other than Buyer (and its assigns) dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of any such Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event.

(m) Material Adverse Effect. Since September 30, 2009, no event has occurred that would have a material adverse effect on (i) the ability of such Originator to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) the collectibility of the Receivables originated by such Originator generally or any material portion of such Receivables.

(n) Names. In the past five (5) years, such Originator has not used any legal names, trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it has executed this Agreement and as listed on Exhibit II.

(o) Ownership of Originators. Ralcorp owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of such Originator, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. Such Equity Interests are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of such Originator.

(p) Not an Investment Company. Such Originator is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.

(q) Compliance with Law. Such Originator has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Receivable originated by such Originator, together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation, except where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(r) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Such Originator has complied in all material respects with its Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Receivable originated by it and the related Contract, and has not made any change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except such material change as to which Buyer (or its assigns) has been notified in accordance with Section 4.1(a)(vii).

(s) Payments to such Originator. With respect to each Receivable transferred hereunder by such Originator to Buyer, the Purchase Price received by such Originator constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by such Originator of any Receivable hereunder is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended.

(t) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Receivable originated by such Originator is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(u) Accounts. Each Receivable originated by such Originator is an “account” under and as defined in the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions.

(v) Accounting. The manner in which such Originator accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement does not jeopardize the analysis of the transactions described herein as true sales, as set forth in the opinion to be delivered by the Originators’ counsel as referred to in Schedule A hereto. Such Originator treats the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as sales and/or capital contributions, for all purposes, including, without limitation, accounting purposes, notwithstanding the fact that the consolidated financial statements of Ralcorp, the Originators and the Buyer are prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as a result of the consolidation required by GAAP, the transfers are reflected as a financing in the consolidated financial statements of Ralcorp and its Subsidiaires, and (i) Ralcorp has made appropriate notations in any such consolidated financial statements (or in the accompanying notes) to indicate that the Buyer is a separate legal entity from Ralcorp and each Originator and to indicate that the assets and credit of the Buyer are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations of Ralcorp or any Originator and (ii) the assets of Buyer are listed separately from the assets of any Originator on any balance sheet of any Originator prepared on a standalone basis.

(w) Ordinary Course. Each remittance of Collections by such Originator to Buyer under this Agreement will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by such Originator in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator.

(x) No Amortization Event. No event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event.

ARTICLE III
CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

Section 3.1 Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness. The effectiveness of the amendment and restatement evidenced hereby is subject to the conditions precedent that (a) each Funding Agent shall have received on or before the date hereof those documents and other items listed on Schedule C to the Purchase Agreement and (b) the Agent, each Funding Agent and each Purchaser shall have received all fees and expenses required to be paid on or before the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Fee Letter.

Section 3.2 Conditions Precedent to Subsequent Payments. Buyer’s obligation to pay each Originator for Receivables originated by such Originator shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that: (a) the Facility Termination Date shall not have occurred; (b) Buyer (or its assigns) shall have received such other approvals, opinions or documents as it may reasonably request and (c) on the date such Receivable came into existence, the following statements shall be true (and acceptance of the proceeds of any payment for such Receivable shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Originator that such statements are then true):

(i) the representations and warranties of such Originator set forth in Article II are true and correct on and as of the date such Receivable came into existence as though made on and as of such date; and

(ii) no event has occurred and is continuing that will constitute a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event.

Notwithstanding the foregoing conditions precedent, upon payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivable originated by any Originator (whether by payment of cash, through an increase in the amounts outstanding under the applicable Subordinated Note, and/or by offset of amounts owed to Buyer), title to such Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto shall vest in Buyer, whether or not the conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to pay for such Receivable were in fact satisfied. The failure of any Originator to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent, however, shall give rise to a right of Buyer to rescind the related purchase from such Originator and direct such Originator to pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Purchase Price payment that shall have been made with respect to any Receivables related thereto.

Section 3.3 Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties.

(j) Taxes. Except to the extent that such Originator is included in consolidated tax returns or reports filed by Ralcorp, such Originator will file all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and will promptly pay all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing, except any such taxes which are not yet delinquent or are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books.

Section 4.2 Negative Covenants of Originators. Until the date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each Originator hereby covenants that:

(c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Originator will not make any change to its Credit and Collection Policy that could adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables originated or serviced by such Originator or materially decrease the credit quality of any such newly created Receivables. Except as otherwise permitted in its capacity as a Permitted Sub-Servicer pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement, such Originator will not extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable originated or serviced by it or any Contract related thereto other than in accordance with its Credit and Collection Policy.

(d) Sales, Liens. Except pursuant to the Transaction Documents, such Originator will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any Receivable originated by it or the associated Related Security or Collections, or upon or with respect to any Contract under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of Buyer provided for herein), and such Originator will defend the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such Originator. Such Originator shall not create or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar arrangement on any of its inventory.

(e) Accounting for Purchase. Such Originator will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, account for the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale by such Originator to Buyer of Receivables originated by such Originator and the associated Collections and Related Security.

Form of Subordinated Note

SUBORDINATED NOTE

[Date]

1. Note. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Ralcorp Receivables Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“SPV”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of _____, a(n) _____ (“Originator”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the date following the Termination Date which is one year and one day after the date on which (i) the Outstanding Balance of all Receivables sold under the “Sale Agreement” referred to below has been reduced to zero and (ii) Originator has paid to the Buyer all indemnities, adjustments and other amounts which may be owed thereunder in connection with the Purchase (the “Collection Date”), the aggregate unpaid principal sum outstanding of all “Subordinated Loans” made from time to time by Originator to SPV pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2010 among Originator and certain of its Affiliates and SPV (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sale Agreement”). Reference to Section 1.3 of the Sale Agreement is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been and will be made. All terms which are capitalized and used herein and which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement.

2. Interest. SPV further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate equal to the Base Rate; provided, however, that if SPV shall default in the payment of any principal hereof, SPV promises to pay, on demand, interest at the rate of the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum on any such unpaid amounts, from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment. Interest shall be payable on the first Business Day of each month in arrears; provided, however, that SPV may elect on the date any interest payment is due hereunder to defer such payment and upon such election the amount of interest due but unpaid on such date shall constitute principal under this Subordinated Note. The outstanding principal of any loan made under this Subordinated Note shall be due and payable on the Collection Date and may be repaid or prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

3. Principal Payments. Originator is authorized and directed by SPV to enter on the grid attached hereto, or, at its option, in its books and records, the date and amount of each loan made by it which is evidenced by this Subordinated Note and the amount of each payment of principal made by SPV, and absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered; provided that neither the failure of Originator to make any such entry or any error therein shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of SPV hereunder.

4. Subordination. Originator shall have the right to receive, and SPV shall make, any and all payments relating to the loans made under this Subordinated Note provided that, after giving effect to any such payment, the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Receivables (as each such term is defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement hereinafter referred to) owned by SPV at such time exceeds the sum of (a) the Aggregate Unpaids (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement) outstanding at such time under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, plus (b) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans made under this Subordinated Note. Originator hereby agrees that at any time during which the conditions set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall not be satisfied, Originator shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment of any indebtedness or obligation of SPV owing to the Agent or any Purchaser under that certain Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2010 by and among SPV, Ralcorp Holdings, Inc., as initial Master Servicer, the “Conduits” from time to time party thereto, the “Committed Purchasers” from time to time party thereto, the “Funding Agents” from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the “Agent” (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, the Agent and the Purchasers and/or any of their respective assignees (collectively, the “Senior Claimants”) under the Purchase Agreement. Until the date on which all “Capital” outstanding under the Purchase Agreement has been repaid in full and all other obligations of SPV and/or the Master Servicer thereunder and under the “Fee Letter” referenced therein (all such obligations, collectively, the “Senior Claim”) have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, Originator shall not institute against SPV any proceeding of the type described in Section 5.1(d) of the Sale Agreement unless and until the Collection Date has occurred. Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by Originator in violation of this Section 4, Originator agrees that such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Agent for the benefit of the Senior Claimants.

5. Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any proceeding of the type described in Section 5.1(d) of the Sale Agreement involving SPV as debtor, then and in any such event the Senior Claimants shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of the Aggregate Capital and the Senior Claim (including “CP Costs” and “Yield” as defined and as accruing under the Purchase Agreement after the commencement of any such proceeding, whether or not any or all of such CP Costs or Yield is an allowable claim in any such proceeding) before Originator is entitled to receive payment on account of this Subordinated Note, and to that end, any payment or distribution of assets of SPV of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable insolvency proceeding, which would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Agent for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Claim until such Senior Claim shall have been paid in full and satisfied.

6. Amendments. This Subordinated Note shall not be amended or modified except in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Sale Agreement. The terms of this Subordinated Note may not be amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers.

7. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE HAS BEEN MADE AND DELIVERED AT CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AND SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. WHEREVER POSSIBLE EACH PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE PROHIBITED BY OR INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF SUCH PROVISION OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE.

8. Waivers. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor. Originator additionally expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by any Senior Claimant of the subordination and other provisions of this Subordinated Note and expressly waives reliance by any Senior Claimant upon the subordination and other provisions herein provided.

9. Assignment. This Subordinated Note may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred to any party other than Originator without the prior written consent of the Agent, and any such attempted transfer shall be void.
