Plans”) in which such Business Employees participate as of the Distribution Date, until

by the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreements. Subject to the requirements of applicable
Collective Bargaining Agreements, nothing contained in this Article IV shall prevent TreeHouse from
amending or terminating the TreeHouse Welfare Plans after the Cessation Time.

individuals participate; and TreeHouse shall also adopt and establish for the benefit of Union
Employees and their respective eligible dependents new Non-ERISA Benefit Arrangements
as required by the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreements. Subject to the
requirements of applicable Collective Bargaining Agreements, nothing contained in this Article IV
shall prevent TreeHouse from amending or terminating the TreeHouse Non-ERISA Benefit
Arrangements after the Distribution Date.

ARTICLE V.

PENSION PLANS

          5.01 U.S. Defined Contribution Plans.

                 (a) Establishment of TreeHouse Plans. Effective as of the Distribution Date,
TreeHouse shall adopt, establish and maintain a Pension Plan and trust qualified under section
401(a) and section 501(a) of the Code (the “TreeHouse 401(k) Plan”) that is substantially similar
to the Dean Foods 401(k) Plan and trust (the “Dean 401(k) Plan”). TreeHouse shall also adopt,
establish and maintain a Pension Plan and trust qualified under section 401(a) and section 501(a)
of the Code (the “TreeHouse Union 401(k) Plan”) as required by the applicable Collective Bargaining
Agreements.

 

 

                 (b) Transfer of Account Balances. As soon as administratively practicable after the
Distribution Date, Dean shall cause to be transferred to the TreeHouse 401(k) Plan, or the TreeHouse Union 401(k) Plan as appropriate, the assets having a value
as of the applicable valuation date on or nearest to the date on
which such transfer occurs that are equal to the value of the aggregate account balances of, and liabilities with
respect to, all Business Employees with an account balance under the Dean 401(k) Plan, or the Dean
Foods Union 401(k) Plan and trust (the “Dean Union 401(k) Plan”), as appropriate, as of
such valuation date, as determined by Dean. Such assets shall transferred be in cash
or through in-kind share transfers (plus the transfer of any promissory notes evidencing outstanding loan balances of Business Employees), and shall be in
accordance with section 414(l) of the Code.

          5.02 Defined Benefit Pension Plan.

                 (a) Adoption of TreeHouse Pension Plan. Effective as of the Distribution Date,
TreeHouse shall adopt, establish and maintain a Pension Plan and trust qualified under section
401(a) and section 501(a) of the Code for Business Employees as of the Distribution Date (the
“TreeHouse Pension Plan”) that is substantially similar to the Dean Foods Company Retirement Plan
and Trust (the “Dean Pension Plan”); provided, however, that benefits
provided to Union Employees under the TreeHouse Pension Plan shall be provided as required by the
applicable Collective Bargaining Agreements.

                 (b) Transfer of Assets and Liabilities.

                      (1) As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, the actuary engaged by the Dean
Pension Plan (the “Dean Actuary”) shall determine, subject to the agreement of the actuary
engaged by the TreeHouse Pension Plan (the “TreeHouse Actuary”) (which agreement shall not be
unreasonably withheld), the present value of benefits on a termination basis, as of the
Distribution Date, for Business Employees with an accrued benefit under the Dean Pension Plan in
accordance with section 414(l) of the Code and the general rule set forth in Treasury Regulations §
1.414(l)-1(n)(1) and by applying standards set forth in regulations prescribed by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) (the “Transfer Amount”).

                      (2) As soon as practicable after the expiration of the thirty (30) day waiting period
prescribed by section 6058(b) of the Code (which TreeHouse and Dean shall take all action to
commence promptly), Dean shall direct the trustee of the Dean Pension Plan to transfer the Transfer
Amount in immediately available funds to the trustee of the TreeHouse Pension Plan according to a
procedure agreed to by the Dean Actuary and the TreeHouse Actuary. Such procedure may provide that
such transfer may be accomplished in two or more portions on two or more different dates.

                      (3) During the period beginning on the Distribution Date and ending on the actual date of
delivery of the Transfer Amount (or any portion thereof) (the “Transfer Date”), the trustee of the
Dean Pension Plan shall hold the Transfer Amount under the TreeHouse Pension Plan and the Transfer
Amount (or any portion thereof not yet transferred) shall be credited with earnings, from the
Distribution Date to the Transfer Date of such portion, at a rate equal to the actual rate of
return of the assets of the Dean Pension Plan, including any

 

 

portion of the Transfer Amount not yet
transferred, for the period beginning on the Distribution Date and ending on the Transfer Date of
such portion.

                    (4) The Transfer Amount shall be reduced (A) as necessary to reflect benefit payments made (if
any) from the Dean Pension Plan after the Distribution Date on behalf of any Business Employees and
(B) by the pro-rata portion of any expenses, as agreed to by the Dean Actuary and the TreeHouse
Actuary, incurred by the Dean Pension Plan attributable to any portion of the Transfer Amount for
the period beginning on the Distribution Date and ending on the Transfer Date for such portion.
Such expenses shall include without limitation, PBGC premiums, valuation fees, investment
management fees, plan audit fees and trustees fees.

                    (5) TreeHouse shall have no responsibility for any portion of the Transfer Amount before such
portion is transferred to the TreeHouse Pension Plan.

                    (6) In connection with the transfer of assets and liabilities from the Dean Pension Plan to
the TreeHouse Pension Plan:

	 	(i)  	Dean and TreeHouse each warrant to the other
that they shall comply with the requirements of ERISA, the Code and Revenue Ruling 86-48 and that the accrued benefits for each
participant under the TreeHouse Pension Plan immediately after the
effective date of such transfer of assets shall not be less than such
participant’s accrued benefits under the Dean Pension Plan immediately
prior to the effective date of such transfer, based on
reasonable actuarial assumptions determined by the Dean Actuary in
good faith;
	 
	 	(ii)  	TreeHouse and Dean shall, in connection with
such transfer, cooperate in making all appropriate filings required
under the Code or ERISA, and the regulations thereunder; and
	 
	 	(iii)  	Liabilities under any qualified domestic
relations orders (as defined in section 414(p) of the Code) received
with respect to any assets transferred to the TreeHouse Pension Plan
shall be transferred to TreeHouse at the time such assets are
transferred.

          5.03  Other Retirement Benefit Plans. As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Distribution Date, TreeHouse shall adopt, establish and maintain a new executive deferred
compensation plan(the “TreeHouse Deferred Compensation Plan”) that is substantially
similar to the Dean Foods Company Post-2004 Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Dean
Post-2004 Plan”) in which Business Employees participate. TreeHouse shall credit all such Business
Employees with all years of service credited to such individuals by any Dean Party for all purposes
relating to the TreeHouse Deferred Compensation Plan. Any Business Employees who are
participating in any Dean executive deferred compensation plan, including the Dean Post-2004
Plan and the Dean Foods Company Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, shall be treated as
having terminated employment with Dean on the Distribution Date and shall receive such
distributions from any such executive deferred compensation plan as are payable upon a termination
of employment from Dean, such distributions to be made in accordance with the terms of such plan
under which such payments are made unless required to be delayed pursuant to Code Section 409A.
Dean shall be solely responsible for, and TreeHouse shall not

 

 

assume any liability with respect to,
such distribution from or other claims relating to any of the Dean executive deferred compensation
plans. No Dean Party maintains any Pension Plan or other retirement benefit plan in which any
Business Employee participates, other than the Dean 401(k) Plan, the Dean Union 401(k) Plan, the
Dean Pension Plan, the Dean Foods Company Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, and the Dean
Post-2004 Plan.
