	*	The specific objectives for fiscal year 2013 were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and are contained in the minutes of
the meeting at which the Plan was approved. 

  

			
	Payout Scales:	  	The financial payout factor is 0% - 200%, based on actual performance against approved objectives, with threshold performance in excess of 90% of target required for payout. The
individual objective factor is 0% - 200% of actual performance against approved objectives.
		
	Objectives Performance Payout Factor:	  	Approved financial objectives and the range of performance for each objective for the Plan Year along with the corresponding payout factor scale based on actual performance will be
included in the Administrative Guidelines for the Plan. The STI Plan Year is the same as the Alpro Foods fiscal year.
		
	Individual Objectives:	  	Each Plan Participant maintains a 40% objective against the attainment of certain specified individual objectives as determined by the Participant’s supervisor and / or
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Actual earned awards are based on the individual’s performance rating under the Performance Management Process and the determination of final percentage targets against which the 40% will
apply.









			
	Adjustment of Targets / Actuals:	  	Upon the recommendation of the CEO, the Compensation Committee may (but has no obligation to) adjust the criteria, targets, actuals, or payout scale upon the occurrence of
extraordinary events or circumstances. Significant acquisitions or dispositions of assets or companies or issuances or repurchases of common stock or other equity interests may, at the Compensation Committee’s discretion, result in an
adjustment to the Dean Foods financial target or plan-specific financial target.
		
	Determination of Individual Target Incentive:	  	Individual target incentives for specific positions are included in the Alpro Foods Integrated Compensation Program. The Company may make adjustments to an individual’s target
incentive based on market conditions or business requirements, as necessary.
		
	Definitions:	  	“Disability” is defined as permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code (“Code”).
		
		  	“Retirement” is defined as (i) age fifty-five (55), so long as the Participant has completed at least ten (10) years of continuous service immediately prior to retirement,
or (ii) age sixty-five (65).
		
		  	“Actively Employed” is defined as the Participant must not have been terminated prior to the identified date.
		
	Eligibility:	  	Eligibility is determined by salary grade in the Company, or as approved by the Executive Vice President Human Resources, or designate. Participants must be actively employed by the
Company on the last working day of the Plan Year in order to receive an incentive award, except as otherwise provided by State law. A Participant is disqualified from receiving any incentive award (financial and / or individual) under the
Plan if: (1) the Participant receives a Significantly Below Target (or equivalent) performance rating for the plan year or (2) the Participant is terminated for Cause, as defined below, at any point between the last working day of the Plan Year and
the date the incentive award is paid, except as otherwise provided by State law. If a Participant dies, becomes disabled, or retires prior to the payment of awards, or if a Participant’s job is eliminated and such job elimination makes the
Participant eligible to receive benefits under a Company severance plan or policy, the Participant may receive a payout, at the time other incentive awards are paid, based on actual time in the position and actual results of the company. Eligibility
and individual target amounts may be prorated. A Participant’s year-end base salary will be used to calculate the incentive award in the case of those individuals actively employed by the Company on the last working day of the Plan Year. A
Participant’s base salary at the time of death, disability, retirement, or job elimination will be used to calculate the pro-rated incentive award in those specific circumstances. All proration of incentive awards will be calculated based on
whole month participation. If an employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, transfers between Plans, changes target participation in the Plan, or becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan between the first day of the month and the
15th of the month, the incentive award will be calculated
based on full month participation. If the eligibility change

		  	occurs between the 16th of the month and the end of the month, the incentive award will be calculated beginning with the full calendar month following the change. There will be no award made for employees hired after
December 15th of the Plan Year.
		
	“Cause” Defined:	  	For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means a Participant’s (i) willful failure to perform substantially a Participant’s duties; (ii) willful or serious
misconduct that has caused, or could reasonably be expected to result in, material injury to the business or reputation of the Company; (iii) conviction of, or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a crime constituting a felony;
(iv) breach of any written covenant or agreement with the Company, any material written policy of the Company or any Company code of conduct or code of ethics, or (v) failure to cooperate with the Company in any internal investigation or
administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding.
		
	Repayment Provision:	  	The Participant in this Plan agrees and acknowledges that this Plan is subject to any policies that the Compensation Committee of the WhiteWave Board of Directors may adopt from
time to time with respect to the repayment to the Company of any benefit received pursuant to this Plan, including “clawback” policies.
