EXHIBIT A  
TO JOINDER AGREEMENT NO. 3
Form of Solvency Certificate


[Date]


This Solvency Certificate (this “Certificate”) is delivered by POST HOLDINGS, INC., a Missouri corporation (the “Borrower”), in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of [Date] (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and [_____], as Administrative Agent. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to Section [__] of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower hereby certifies that, after giving effect to the Transactions, on the date hereof:
(a)    The fair value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount of the liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. In computing the amount of any contingent liabilities on the date hereof, such liabilities shall have been computed at the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing on the date hereof, represents the amount that can be reasonably expected to become an actual or matured liability.
(b)    The present fair saleable value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, on their debts as they become absolute and matured.
(c)    The Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not intend to incur debts or liabilities beyond their ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature in the ordinary course of business.
(d)    The Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not engaged in business or a transaction for which their property would constitute an unreasonably small capital.
(e)    The Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their debts and liabilities, contingent obligations and other commitments as they mature in the ordinary course of business. In computing the amount of any contingent liabilities on the date hereof, such liabilities shall have been computed at the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing on the date hereof, represents the amount that can be reasonably expected to become an actual or matured liability.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Certificate to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
