          underlying Options granted under the Plan during any three-year period
          must be granted to employees who are not Executive Officer
          Participants or directors of the Company.

                  (b) Any shares of Common Stock related to Options which
          terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without
          the issuance of shares of Common Stock shall be available again for
          grant under the Plan.

                  (c) Common Stock delivered by the Company upon exercise of an
          Option under the Plan will be authorized and unissued shares or issued
          shares which have been reacquired by the Company (i.e., treasury

          manner in which fractional shares arising under this Plan shall be
          treated.

                  (e) Upon the exercise of any Option, the Company shall issue
          and deliver to the Participant who exercised the Option a certificate
          representing the number of shares of Common Stock purchased thereby.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                   ELIGIBILITY

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  STOCK OPTIONS

         SECTION 6.1 Grant of Options. The Committee may, from time to time,
subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as it
may determine, grant Nonqualified Stock Options to Eligible Persons. Each grant
of an Option shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement executed by the Company
and the Participant, and shall contain such terms and conditions and be in such
form as the Committee may from time to time approve, subject to the requirements
of Section 6.2.

         SECTION 6.2 Conditions of Options. Each Option so granted shall be
subject to the following conditions:

                  (a) Exercise Price. The Option Agreement for each Option shall
          state the exercise price which shall be set by the Committee on the
          Date of Grant. No Option shall be granted at an exercise price which
          is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of
          Grant, except that Options for the purchase of up to ten percent (10%)
          of the shares subject to the Plan may be granted at an exercise price
          which is not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market
          Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

                  (b) Form of Payment. The payment of the exercise price of an
         Option shall be subject to the following:

                      (i)    The full exercise price for shares of Common Stock
                             purchased upon the exercise of any Option shall be
                             paid at the time of such exercise (except that, in
                             the case of an exercise arrangement approved by the
                             Committee and described in clause (iii) below,
                             payment may be made as soon as practicable after
                             the exercise).

                      (ii)   The exercise price shall be payable in cash
                             (including a check acceptable to the Committee,
                             bank draft or money order) or by tendering, by
                             either actual delivery of shares or by attestation,
                             shares of Common Stock acceptable to the Committee
                             and valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of
                             exercise, or any combination thereof, as determined
                             by the Committee.

                      (iii)  The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to
                             pay the exercise price upon the exercise of an
                             Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to
                             sell shares of Common Stock (or a sufficient
                             portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of
                             the Option and remit to the Company a sufficient
                             portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire
                             exercise price and any tax withholding resulting
                             from such exercise.

                  (c) Exercise of Options. Options granted under the Plan shall
          be exercisable, in whole or in such installments and at such times,
          and shall expire at such time, as shall be provided by the Committee
          in the Option Agreement. Exercise of an Option shall be by written
          notice stating the election to exercise in the form and manner
          determined by the Committee. Every share of Common Stock acquired
          through the exercise of an Option shall be deemed to be fully paid at
          the time of exercise and payment of the exercise price.

                  (d) Other Terms and Conditions. Among other conditions that
          may be imposed by the Committee, if deemed appropriate, are those
          relating to (i) the period or periods and the conditions of
          exercisability of any Option; (ii) the minimum periods during which
          Participants must be employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries, or
          must hold Options before they may be exercised; (iii) the minimum
          periods

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

          during which shares acquired upon exercise must be held before sale or
          transfer shall be permitted; (iv) the maximum period that Participants
          will be allowed to be inactively employed or on a leave of absence
          before their vesting is suspended until they return to active
          employment; (v) conditions under which such Options or shares may be
          subject to forfeiture; (vi) the frequency of exercise or the minimum
          or maximum number of shares that may be acquired at any one time and
          (vii) the achievement by the Company of specified performance
          criteria.

                  (e) Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Company
          from the sale of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Options will
          be used for general corporate purposes.

                  (f) Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall have any rights
          as a shareholder with respect to any share of Common Stock subject to
          an Option prior to the purchase of such share of Common Stock by
          exercise of the Option.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                STOCK ADJUSTMENTS

         Subject to the provisions of Article IX of this Plan, in the event that
the shares of Common Stock, as presently constituted, shall be changed into or
exchanged for a different number or kind or shares of stock or other securities
of the Company or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, combination of
shares or otherwise), or if the number of such shares of Common Stock shall be
increased through the payment of a stock dividend, or a dividend on the shares
of Common Stock or rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company
shall be made, then there shall be substituted for or added to each share
available under and subject to the Plan as provided in Section 1.3 hereof, and
each share then subject or thereafter subject or which may become subject to
Options under the Plan, the number and kind of shares of stock or other
securities into which each outstanding share of Common Stock shall be so changed
or for which each such share shall be exchanged or to which each such share
shall be entitled, as the case may be, on a fair and equivalent basis in
accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 424 of the Code; provided,
however, in no such event will such adjustment result in a modification of any
Option as defined in Section 424(h) of the Code. In the event there shall be any
other change in the number or kind of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or
any stock or other securities into which the Common Stock shall have been
changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, then if the Committee shall,
in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an
adjustment in the shares available under and subject to the Plan, or in any
Option theretofore granted or which may be granted under the Plan, such
adjustments shall be made in accordance with such determination, except that no
adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan or
to which any Option relates that would otherwise be required shall be made
unless and until such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not
previously made would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the
number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan or to which any Option
relates immediately prior to the making of such adjustment (the "Minimum
Adjustment"). Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum
amount shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment together
with other adjustments required by this Article VII and not previously made
would result in a Minimum Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
adjustment required by this Article VII which otherwise would not result in a
Minimum Adjustment shall be made with respect to shares of Common Stock relating
to any Option immediately prior to exercise of such Option.

         No fractional shares of Common Stock or units of other securities shall
be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any
such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the
nearest whole share.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                     GENERAL

         SECTION 8.1 Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board may suspend or
terminate the Plan at any time. In addition, the Board may, from time to time,
amend the Plan in any manner in accordance with applicable federal or state laws
or regulations.

         SECTION 8.2 Acceleration of Otherwise Unexercisable Stock Options on
Death, Disability or Other Special Circumstances. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, may permit (i) a Participant who terminates employment due to a
Disability, (ii) the personal representative of a deceased Participant, or (iii)
any other Participant who terminates employment upon the occurrence of special
circumstances (as determined by the Committee) to purchase all or any part of
the shares subject to any unvested Option on the date of the Participant's
termination of employment due to a Disability, death or special circumstances,
or as the Committee otherwise so determines. With respect to Options which have
already vested at the date of such termination or the vesting of which is
accelerated by the Committee in accordance with the foregoing provision, the
Participant or the personal representative of a deceased Participant shall have
the right to exercise such vested Options within such period(s) as the Committee
shall determine.

         SECTION 8.3 Nonassignability. Options are not transferable otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer,
assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of, or the levy of
execution, attachment or similar process upon, any Option contrary to the
provisions hereof shall be void and ineffective, shall give no right to any
purported transferee, and may, at the sole discretion of the Committee, result
in forfeiture of the Option involved in such attempt.

         SECTION 8.4 Withholding Taxes. A Participant must pay to the Company
the amount of taxes required by law upon the exercise of an Option in cash.

         SECTION 8.5 Regulatory Approval and Listings. The Company shall use its
best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as
practicable following the date this Plan is effective, and keep continuously
effective and usable, a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to
shares of Common Stock subject to Options hereunder. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Plan to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to
issue or deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock evidencing
Options prior to:

                  (a) the obtaining of any approval from, or satisfaction of any
          waiting period or other condition imposed by, any governmental agency
          which the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be
          necessary or advisable;

                  (b) the listing of such shares on any exchange on which the
          Common Stock may be listed; and

                  (c) the completion of any registration or other qualification
          of such shares under any state or federal law or regulation of any
          governmental body which the Committee shall, in its sole discretion,
          determine to be necessary or advisable.

         SECTION 8.6 Right to Continued Employment. Participation in the Plan
shall not give any Participant any right to remain in the employ of the Company
or any Subsidiary or any partnership or limited liability company controlled by
the Company. Further, the adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give any

Participant or to be granted an Option.

         SECTION 8.7 Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each
member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying or acting in good faith
upon any report made by the independent public accountants of the Company and
its Subsidiaries and upon any other information furnished in connection with the

reliance upon any such report or information or for any action taken, including
the furnishing of information, or failure to act, if in good faith.

         SECTION 8.8 Construction. The titles and headings of the sections in

                                   ARTICLE IX

                  ACCELERATION OF OPTIONS UPON CORPORATE EVENT

         SECTION 9.1 Procedures for Acceleration and Exercise. If the Company
shall, pursuant to action by the Board, at any time propose to dissolve or
liquidate or merge into, consolidate with, or sell or otherwise transfer all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation and provision is not made
pursuant to the terms of such transaction for the assumption by the surviving,
resulting or acquiring corporation of outstanding Options under the Plan, or for
the substitution of new options therefor, the Committee shall cause written
notice of the proposed transaction to be given to each Participant no less than
forty days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction,
and the Participant's Option shall become 100% vested. Prior to a date specified
in such notice, which shall be not more than ten days prior to the anticipated
effective date of the proposed transaction, each Participant shall have the
right to exercise his or her Option to purchase any or all of the Common Stock
then subject to such Option. Each Participant, by so notifying the Company in
writing, may, in exercising his or her Option, condition such exercise upon, and
provide that such exercise shall become effective immediately prior to the
consummation of the transaction, in which event such Participant need not make
payment for the Common Stock to be purchased upon exercise of such Option until
five days after receipt of written notice by the Company to such Participant
that the transaction has been consummated. If the transaction is consummated,
each Option, to the extent not previously exercised prior to the date specified
in the foregoing notice, shall terminate on the effective date such transaction
is consummated. If the transaction is abandoned, (i) any Common Stock not
purchased upon exercise of such Option shall continue to be available for
purchase in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and (ii) to the
extent that any Option not exercised prior to such abandonment shall have vested
solely by operation of this Section 9.1, such vesting shall be deemed voided as
of the time such acceleration otherwise occurred pursuant to Section 9.1, and
the vesting schedule set forth in the Participant's Option Agreement shall be
reinstituted as of the date of such abandonment.

         SECTION 9.2 Certain Additional Payments by the Company. The Committee
may, in its sole discretion, provide in any Option Agreement for certain
payments by the Company in the event that acceleration of vesting of any Option
under the Plan is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax,
interest and penalties, collectively, the "Excise Tax"). An Option Agreement may
provide that the Participant shall be entitled to receive a payment (a "Gross-Up
Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Participant of all taxes
(including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Participant
retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon
such acceleration of vesting of any Option.

                             PERFORMANCE BONUS PLAN

                  THIS PERFORMANCE BONUS PLAN (this "PLAN") is hereby entered
into among White Wave, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "COMPANY"), Dean Foods
Company, a Delaware corporation ("DEAN"), each of the employees of the Company
listed on the signature page hereto (the "KEY EMPLOYEES") and Steven A. Demos
(the "KEY EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVE"), acting by virtue of this Plan as the
attorney-in-fact and representative of the Key Employees this 9th day of May,
2002 ("EFFECTIVE DATE").

                  WHEREAS, White Wave, Dean and Surf Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Dean ("ACQUISITION SUB"),
have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 23, 2002, as
amended, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge (the "MERGER") with and into
White Wave, with White Wave as the surviving corporation in such Merger (the
"SURVIVING COMPANY");

                  WHEREAS, it is a condition of the Merger that the Company,
Dean and the Key Employee Representative enter into this Plan; and

                  WHEREAS, any capitalized terms that are used but not defined
herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Merger Agreement.

                  NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
promises contained in this Plan, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by the parties, the parties
agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                             PERFORMANCE BONUS PLAN

         SECTION 1.1 PERFORMANCE BONUS.

                  (a) Performance Bonus; Key Employee Bonus. Pursuant to the
terms of this ARTICLE I and the other provisions of this Plan, if Net Sales of
the Surviving Company equal or exceed $382,500,000, and the Surviving Company
does not exceed the budgetary restrictions for the line items (accounted for
consistently with the Company's past practices and the Operating Plan)
contemplated by SECTIONS 1.3(a)(i) and (a)(ii) by more than $1,000,000 in the
aggregate, during the period commencing on April 1, 2002 and ending on March 31,
2004 (the "INCENTIVE PERIOD"), Dean shall deliver, or shall cause the Surviving
Company to deliver, to certain employees of the Surviving Company, including the
Key Employees, a bonus (the "PERFORMANCE BONUS") based on the amount of Net
Sales achieved during the Incentive Period as provided and in the amounts set
forth in SCHEDULE 1.1(a-1). In such event, Dean shall pay and deliver, or shall
cause the Surviving Company to pay and deliver, to the Key Employees an
aggregate of 68.56% of the Performance Bonus payable (the "KEY EMPLOYEE BONUS"),
as may be adjusted as provided in this ARTICLE I, and the remaining 31.44% of
the Performance Bonus (or such smaller or greater percentage as is allocated to
the Discretionary Pool Employees pursuant to SECTION 1.2(b)) shall be paid and
delivered to the Discretionary Pool Employees as discretionary bonuses (the
"DISCRETIONARY BONUS"). Pursuant to the terms of SECTION 1.4, Dean shall, or
shall cause the Surviving Company to, pay and deliver to (i) each of the Key
Employees except as otherwise expressly provided in this ARTICLE I an amount
(each, a Key Employee's "PRO RATA SHARE") equal to the Performance Bonus payable
multiplied by the percentage set forth opposite such Key Employee's name on
SCHEDULE 1.1(a-2)

<PAGE>
and (ii) each of the Discretionary Pool Employees the amount of the
Discretionary Bonus allocated to such Discretionary Pool Employee on the Pool
Allocation Schedule in effect at the time of such payment.

                  (b) Discretionary Bonus. The Discretionary Bonus, if any,
shall be payable to certain employees of the Company (the "DISCRETIONARY POOL
EMPLOYEES") pursuant to the terms and conditions contained herein and in the
incentive plan attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "DISCRETIONARY INCENTIVE
PLAN"). The Discretionary Pool Employees eligible to participate in the
Discretionary Bonus and the allocation of the Discretionary Bonus to such
Discretionary Pool Employees shall be determined by Steven Demos, or Patricia
Calhoun if Steven Demos is no longer the President of the Surviving Company, or,
if Patricia Calhoun is no longer employed by the Surviving Company, the
President of the Surviving Company (such person shall be referred to as the
"COMPANY OFFICER") acting in a commercially reasonable manner, and a schedule
listing the names and positions of the Discretionary Pool Employees and their
respective allocations of the Discretionary Bonus shall be provided to Dean on
or prior to December 31, 2002 (the "POOL ALLOCATION SCHEDULE"). If a
Discretionary Pool Employee's employment is terminated for any reason, such
Discretionary Pool Employee's portion of the Discretionary Bonus shall be
available for allocation to any employee of the Surviving Company, including any
new employee hired during the Incentive Period, at the discretion of the Company
Officer, acting in a commercially reasonable manner. Within 60 days of such a
Discretionary Pool Employee's termination of employment, a revised Pool
Allocation Schedule will be delivered to Dean.

         SECTION 1.2 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OF KEY EMPLOYEES DURING INCENTIVE
PERIOD.

                  (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Key Employee
is terminated during the Incentive Period:

                           (i) by Dean without Cause or upon a Constructive
         Termination, such terminated Key Employee will be entitled to receive
         as soon as practicable following the Determination Date his or her Pro
         Rata Share as if the Surviving Company achieved $450 million in Net
         Sales during the Incentive Period (the "BASE TARGET AMOUNT"), plus his
         or her Pro Rata Share of any additional Performance Bonus payable if
         actual Net Sales exceed $450 million during the Incentive Period;

                           (ii) upon his or her death or Incapacity, such
         terminated Key Employee, or his or her estate, will be entitled to
         receive as soon as practicable following the Determination Date his or
         her Pro Rata Share of the Performance Bonus payable based on the amount
         of Net Sales actually achieved during the Incentive Period; or

                           (iii) by Dean for Cause or by such Key Employee
         without there having been a Constructive Termination, such terminated
         Key Employee will not be entitled to receive any Key Employee Bonus.

                  (b) In the case of a termination described in SECTION
1.2(a)(iii) of the employment of (i) James Terman, Sheryl Lamb or Chris Appel,
the Pro Rata Share (if any) they would have been entitled to receive had their
employment not been terminated shall be available for allocation to any employee
of the Surviving Company (other than Steven Demos or Patricia Calhoun),
including any new employee hired during the Incentive Period, by the Company
Officer, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer of Dean, with each
acting in a commercially reasonable manner; and (ii) Steven Demos or Patricia
Calhoun, the Pro Rata Share they would have been entitled to receive had their
employment not been terminated shall be forfeited and shall not be payable to
any other employee of the Surviving Company. To the extent the Company Officer
and the Chief Executive Officer of Dean are unable to agree on the

                                       2
<PAGE>

allocation of all or any portion of a terminated Key Employee's Pro Rata Share
as provided in subparagraph (i), the amount of the Pro Rata Share in dispute
shall be allocated to the Discretionary Bonus and shall be payable to the
Discretionary Pool Employees as provided in SECTION 1.1. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the amount of the Performance Bonus, if any,
allocable to the Discretionary Incentive Plan shall be reduced by $76,713, of
which $_______ shall be paid to _______________, and $__________ shall be paid
to _______________, in reimbursement for the investment banking fees previously
paid by them and incurred in connection with the creation of the Discretionary
Incentive Plan. Such reimbursement shall be paid pursuant to the preceding
sentence irrespective of whether ___________ or ___________ remain in the
employment of the Company.

         SECTION 1.3 OPERATION DURING INCENTIVE PERIOD.

                  (a) During the Incentive Period, Dean will not take or cause
to be taken any action that materially and adversely affects the ability of the
Company Officer to exercise commercially reasonable discretion, recognizing the
Company's past practices with respect to new product development and
introduction, in the prudent management of the following line items as such line
items are reported in the Company's five-year operational plan dated March 13,
2002 and attached hereto as SCHEDULE 1.3 (the "OPERATING PLAN"):

                           (i) Sales, Marketing, Research and Development, and
         General and Administrative expenses, subject to the limitation that the
         aggregate of such line item amounts shall not exceed, in the aggregate
         on an annual basis, the greater of (A) the dollar amount specified in
         the Operating Plan or (B) the amount determined by multiplying actual
         Net Sales by the percentage of Net Sales specified in the Operating
         Plan for such line items; and

                           (ii) capital expenditures in the amounts set forth in
         the Operating Plan line items Silk Asset Replacement and Tofu/Baked
         Asset Replacement, subject to the limitation that the aggregate of such
         line item amounts shall not exceed, in the aggregate on an annual
         basis, the greater of (A) the dollar amount specified in the Operating
         Plan or (B) the amount determined by multiplying actual Net Sales by
         the percentage of Net Sales specified in the Operating Plan for such
         line items, plus in either case up to $1.4 million in the fiscal year
         ending March 31, 2003 to be used for the purchase and installation of a
         bean extraction system.

                  (b) During the Incentive Period, Dean will permit the Company
Officer (i) to cause the Surviving Company to build a new extraction and
processing plant within the $18 million of capital expenditures budgeted in the
Operating Plan for the Company's fiscal year ending March 31, 2004 in the event
that Dean does not commit by December 1, 2002 to supply or make alternative
arrangements to supply production capacity to the Surviving Company sufficient
to support Net Sales as projected in the Operating Plan, and (ii) for reasons of
technology, geography, capacity or strategic competitive advantage, to jointly
determine with the Chief Executive Officer of Dean, with each acting in a
commercially reasonable manner, to contract with third parties for periods of
not more than three years for production facilities if Dean cannot or chooses
not to provide the capacity needed to achieve the Net Sales set forth in the
Operating Plan.

                  (c) If during the Incentive Period Dean takes any actions
prohibited in SECTION 1.3(a), or fails to allow action permitted by SECTION
1.3(b), in a manner, as reasonably determined by Steven Demos, that materially
and adversely affects the Surviving Company's ability to achieve the Net Sales
targets, then Steven Demos may elect to voluntarily terminate his employment
upon 60 days prior

                                       3
<PAGE>
written notice to Dean and receive as soon as practicable following the
Determination Date (i) his Pro Rata Share as if the Base Target Amount had been
achieved, and (ii) if such termination occurs after the first anniversary of the
Closing Date, his Pro Rata Share of any additional Key Employee Bonus payable if
actual Net Sales exceed $450 million during the Incentive Period. If Steven
Demos so elects to voluntarily terminate his employment, each of the other Key
Employees may also elect, within 30 days of Steven Demos' notice of election to
terminate his employment, to voluntarily terminate his or her employment upon 60
days prior written notice to Dean and receive as soon as practicable following
the Determination Date (A) his or her Pro Rata Share as if the Base Target
Amount had been achieved, and (B) if such termination occurs after the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, his or her Pro Rata Share of any additional Key
Employee Bonus payable if actual Net Sales exceed $450 million during the
Incentive Period.

                  (d) (i) From the date hereof until the end of the
Incentive Period, Dean shall cause or permit the Surviving Company to:

                           (A)     maintain its corporate existence in good
         standing; and

                           (B)     give the Company Officer discretion, acting
         in a commercially reasonable manner, to determine the titles and
         responsibilities of the operating officers and employees of the
         Company.

                      (ii) From the date hereof until the end of the
         Incentive Period, Dean shall not:

                           (A)     require that the Surviving Company add
         additional officers of the Surviving Company, provided, however, that
         Dean may add additional officers to the Surviving Company if the
         salaries, benefits and other expenses related to the employment of such
         officers is paid directly by Dean;

                           (B)     change or require the change of any of the
         following unless required by any Law or any judgment, writ, order or
         decree of any court, judge, justice or magistrate or any Governmental
         Entity: (w) the name of the Surviving Company; (x) the names of any
         products of the Surviving Company; (y) the trademarks, trade dress and
         logos of the Surviving Company; or (z) the advertising and sponsorships
         of the Surviving Company (subject to the budgetary restrictions
         contemplated by SECTIONS 1.3(a)(i) and (a)(ii));

                           (C)     take any action which has as its primary
         purpose the avoidance of the payment of the Performance Bonus; or

                           (D)     use the Trade Secrets, trademarks, trade
         dress or logos of the Surviving Company on any Soy Products sold by
         Dean or its Affiliates (other than the Surviving Company) that compete
         with the products of the Surviving Company or enter into any new
         agreements to provide contract packaging or manufacturing services for
         Soy Products that compete with the products of the Surviving Company
         with any Person that is not an Affiliate of Dean (other than the
         Surviving Company). "SOY PRODUCTS" shall mean (x) tofu; (y) soy-based
         and wheat-gluten based meat substitutes and (z) any of the following
         products having soy as their largest percentage component source of
         protein: (1) any liquid beverage marketed as a milk substitute and (2)
         yogurt.

         SECTION 1.4  DELIVERY OF PERFORMANCE BONUS.

                  (a) As soon as practicable following expiration of the
Incentive Period, but in no event later than 60 days following expiration of the
Incentive Period, Dean shall determine in accordance with the terms herein
whether the Surviving Company has achieved Net Sales in an amount sufficient to
result in payment of all or a portion of the Performance Bonus and whether the
Surviving Company has not exceeded the budgetary restrictions contemplated by
SECTIONS 1.3(a)(i) and (a)(II) by more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate,
excluding the impact of compensation granted under the Shareholder Stock
Compensation Agreement effective as of the date hereof (the date of such
determination shall be referred to as the "DETERMINATION DATE"), and Dean shall
deliver to the Key Employee Representative a certificate (the "PERFORMANCE BONUS
CERTIFICATE") executed by Dean's Chief Financial Officer, or such other officer
authorized by Dean, setting forth Dean's determination of the amount of
Performance Bonus, if any, payable pursuant to this ARTICLE I. The Performance
Bonus Certificate shall be delivered even if no Performance Bonus is payable.
Within 30 days (the "RESPONSE PERIOD") following the receipt of the Performance
Bonus Certificate, the Key Employee Representative shall notify Dean of any
dispute regarding the Performance Bonus Certificate, which notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute to the extent such detail
can be specified based on the information set forth in the Performance Bonus
Certificate. If the Key Employee Representative fails to notify Dean of any such
dispute during the Response Period, the Performance Bonus Certificate and the
amount of Performance Bonus payable shall be deemed to be accepted by the Key
Employee Representative and Dean shall pay the Performance Bonus within three
Business Days after the expiration of the Response Period.

                  (b) In the event that the Key Employee Representative notifies
Dean of a dispute during the Response Period, Dean and the Key Employee
Representative shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the dispute as promptly
as possible. If Dean and the Key Employee Representative are able to resolve the
dispute within 15 Business Days of the Key Employee Representative's delivery of
the notice of dispute, Dean shall deliver within three Business Days after
resolution of the dispute the amount of Performance Bonus agreed to by Dean and
the Key Employee Representative. If Dean and the Key Employee Representative are
unable to resolve the dispute within 15 Business Days of the Key Employee
Representative's delivery of the notice of dispute, then the dispute will be
submitted to an accounting firm not then retained by Dean and acceptable to Dean
and the Key Employee Representative (the "INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM"). Each of
Dean and the Key Employee Representative agrees to execute a reasonable
engagement letter if requested by the Independent Accounting Firm. All fees and
expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent
Accounting Firm shall be borne by the substantially non-prevailing party. Dean
shall pay all such fees and expenses, and shall then, in the event that the Key
Employee Representative is the substantially non-prevailing party, reduce the
Performance Bonus by an amount equal to the amount of such fees and expenses. In
the event the Independent Accounting Firm determines that no Performance Bonus
is payable, the Key Employee Representative, on behalf of the Key Employees and
the Discretionary Pool Employees, shall reimburse Dean for all such fees and
expenses relating to the work performed by the Independent Accounting Firm. The
Key Employee Representative shall be the substantially non-prevailing party for
purposes of the payment of such fees and expenses if the difference between the
Net Sales set forth in the Performance Bonus Certificate and the amount of Net
Sales determined by the Independent Accounting Firm is less than or equal to one
percent of the amount of Net Sales set forth in the Performance Bonus
Certificate; provided, however, that if such difference does not exceed one
percent and the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm results in a
payment of any amount of Performance Bonus and the Performance Bonus Certificate
indicated no Performance Bonus was payable, then Dean shall be deemed the
substantially non-prevailing party. The Independent Accounting Firm shall act as
an arbitrator to determine only those issues still in dispute (provided that any
such determination by the Independent Accounting Firm shall only be for purposes
of this Plan) and shall have access to and be entitled to review

                                       5
<PAGE>
the underlying records and compilations relating to any such disputed issues.
Dean and the Key Employee Representative shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to issue its determination
within 30 days of its engagement. This determination shall be set forth in a
written statement delivered to Dean and the Key Employee Representative and
shall be final, binding and conclusive. If the determination indicates that
additional Performance Bonus should be distributed, Dean shall make such
distribution within ten Business Days of receipt of the determination. No
downward adjustment in the amount of the Performance Bonus shall be made.

                                   ARTICLE II
                   APPOINTMENT OF KEY EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVE

         SECTION 2.1.  APPOINTMENT OF KEY EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVE.

                  As of the Effective Date and without any further action by the
Key Employees, Steven A. Demos will be appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact
(the "KEY EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVE") for each Key Employee receiving a portion of
the Key Employee Bonus, for and on behalf of the Key Employee. The Key Employee
Representative shall have full power and authority to represent all of the Key
Employees and their successors with respect to all matters arising under this
Plan and all actions taken by the Key Employee Representative hereunder and
thereunder shall be binding upon all such Key Employees and their successors as
if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of them. The Key Employee
Representative shall take any and all actions which he believes are necessary or
appropriate under this Plan for and on behalf of the Key Employees, as fully as
if the Key Employees were acting on their own behalf, including, without
limitation, conducting negotiations with Dean and its agents under this Plan
with respect to all matters arising under this Plan, taking any and all other
actions specified in or contemplated by this Plan, and engaging counsel,
accountants or other representatives in connection with the foregoing matters.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Key Employee
Representative shall have full power and authority to interpret all the terms
and provisions of this Plan and to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof on
behalf of all such Key Employees and such successors. Upon the death,
resignation or removal of Steven Demos for any reason as Key Employee
Representative, Patricia Calhoun shall become the Key Employee Representative.

         SECTION 2.2.  INDEMNIFICATION OF KEY EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVE.

                  The Key Employee Representative may act upon any instrument or
other writing believed by the Key Employee Representative in good faith to be
genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person and shall not be
liable in connection with the performance by him or her of his or her duties
pursuant to the provisions of this Plan, except for his or her own willful
default or gross negligence. The Key Employee Representative shall be, and
hereby is, indemnified and held harmless by the Key Employees from all losses,
costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) that may be incurred by the Key
Employee Representative as a result of the Key Employee Representative's
performance of his or her duties under this Plan, provided, that the Key
Employee Representative shall not be entitled to indemnification for losses,
costs or expenses that result from any action taken or omitted by the Key
Employee Representative as a result of his willful default or gross negligence
and provided, further, that each Key Employee's obligation to indemnify the Key
Employee Representative under this Plan shall be limited to, and payable only
from, each Key Employee's pro rata portion of the Key Employee Bonus payable to
him or her hereunder. The Key Employee Representative's costs and expenses shall
be paid out of the amount of Key Employee Bonus payable hereunder, to the extent
required by this SECTION 2.2.

         SECTION 2.3.  ACCESS TO INFORMATION.

                  The Key Employee Representative shall have reasonable access
to information of and concerning any dispute with respect to the Performance
Bonus Certificate and which is in the possession, custody or control of the
Company and the reasonable assistance of the Company's officers and employees
for purposes of performing his or her duties under this Plan and exercising his
or her rights under this Plan, including for the purpose of evaluating any
amount set forth in the Performance Bonus Certificate; provided, that, the Key
Employee Representative shall treat confidentially and not disclose any
nonpublic information received by him or her hereunder to anyone (except to the
Key Employee Representative's attorneys, accountants or other advisers, to Key
Employees, to the arbitrators appointed to resolve disputes pursuant to this
Agreement, and, on a need-to-know basis, to other individuals who agree to keep
such information confidential).

         SECTION 2.4.  REASONABLE RELIANCE.

                  In the performance of his duties hereunder, the Key Employee
Representative shall be entitled to rely upon any document or instrument
reasonably believed by him to be genuine, accurate as to content and signed by
any Key Employee or Dean. The Key Employee Representative may assume that any
person purporting to give any notice in accordance with the provisions hereof
has been duly authorized to do so.

         SECTION 2.5.  ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

                  (i) The Key Employee Representative is hereby appointed and
constituted the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each Key Employee, with full
power in his or her name and on his or her behalf to act according to the terms
of this Plan in the absolute discretion of the Key Employee Representative; and
in general to do all things and to perform all acts including, without
limitation, executing and delivering any agreements, certificates, receipts,
instructions, notices or instruments contemplated by or deemed advisable in
connection with this Plan.

                  (ii) This power of attorney and all authority hereby conferred
is granted and shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of
any Key Employee, by operation of law, whether by such Key Employee's death,
disability protective supervision or any other event. Without limitation to the
foregoing, this power of attorney is to ensure the performance of a special
obligation and, accordingly, each Key Employee hereby renounces his or her right
to renounce this power of attorney unilaterally any time before the end of the
Incentive Period.

                  (iii) Each Key Employee hereby waives any and all defenses
that may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Key
Employee Representative taken in good faith under this Plan.

                  (iv) Notwithstanding the power of attorney granted in this
SECTION 2.5, no agreement, instrument, acknowledgement or other act or document
shall be ineffective by reason only of the Key Employees having signed or given
such agreement, instrument, acknowledgement, or other act or document directly
instead of the Key Employee Representative.

         SECTION 2.6. LIABILITY.

                  If the Key Employee Representative is required by the terms of
this Plan to determine the occurrence of any event or contingency, the Key
Employee Representative shall, in making such determination, be liable to the
Key Employees only for his or her proven bad faith as determined in light of all
the circumstances, including the time and facilities available to him or her in
the ordinary conduct of business. In determining the occurrence of any such
event or contingency, the Key Employee Representative may request from any of
the Key Employees or any other person such reasonable additional evidence as the
Key Employee Representative in his sole discretion may deem necessary to
determine any fact relating to the occurrence of such event or contingency, and
may at any time inquire of and consult with others, including any of the Key
Employees, and the Key Employee Representative shall not be liable to any Key
Employee for any damages resulting from his delay in acting hereunder pending
his receipt and examination of additional evidence requested by him.

         SECTION 2.7.  ORDERS.

                  The Key Employee Representative is authorized, in his sole
discretion, to comply with final, nonappealable orders or decisions issued or
process entered by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator with
respect to the Key Employee Bonus. If any portion of the Key Employee Bonus is
disbursed to the Key Employee Representative and is at any time attached,
garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be
stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree
shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part
thereof, then and in any such event, the Key Employee Representative is
authorized, in his sole discretion, but in good faith, to rely upon and comply
with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which he or she is advised by
legal counsel selected by him is binding upon him or her without the need for
appeal or other action; and if the Key Employee Representative complies with any
such order, writ, judgment or decree, he shall not be liable to any Key Employee
or to any other person by reason of such compliance even though such order,
writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set
aside or vacated.

         SECTION 2.8.  REMOVAL OF KEY EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVE; AUTHORITY OF
         SUCCESSOR KEY EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVE.

                  Key Employees who in the aggregate hold at least a majority of
the Key Employees' interest in the Key Employee Bonus shall have the right at
any time during the Incentive Period to remove a then-acting Key Employee
Representative and to appoint a successor Key Employee Representative upon such
removal, or upon his or her death, disability or resignation; provided, however,
that neither such removal of such then acting Key Employee Representative nor
such appointment of a successor Key Employee Representative shall be effective
until the delivery to Dean of executed counterparts of a writing signed by each
such Key Employee with respect to such removal and appointment, together with an
acknowledgment signed by the successor Key Employee Representative appointed in
such writing that he or she accepts the responsibility of successor Key Employee
Representative and agrees to perform and be bound by all of the provisions of
this Plan applicable to the Key Employee Representative. Each successor Key
Employee Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and
privileges conferred by this Plan upon the original Key Employee Representative,
and the term "Key Employee Representative" as used herein shall be deemed to
include any interim or successor Key Employee Representative.

         SECTION 3.1  DEFINITIONS.

                  As used herein the terms set forth below shall have the
following meanings:

                  "CAUSE" means a Key Employee's (i) willful and intentional
material breach of the employment agreement between the Surviving Company and
such Key Employee, (ii) willful and intentional misconduct or gross negligence
in the performance of, or willful neglect of, such Key Employee's duties, which
has caused material injury (monetary or otherwise) to the Surviving Company, or
(iii) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony; provided, however,
that no act or omission shall constitute "Cause" for purposes of this Plan
unless the board of directors or the Chairman of the board of directors of the
Surviving Company provides to the Key Employee (y) written notice clearly and
fully describing the particular acts or omissions which the board of directors
or the Chairman of the board of directors of the Surviving Company reasonably
believes in good faith constitutes "Cause" and (z) an opportunity, within 30
days following his or her receipt of such notice, to meet in person with the
board of directors or the Chairman of the board of directors of the Surviving
Company to explain or defend the alleged acts or omissions relied upon by the
board of directors or the Chairman of the board of directors of the Surviving
Company and, to the extent practicable, to cure such acts or omissions. Further,
no act or omission shall be considered as "willful" or "intentional" if the Key
Employee reasonably believed such acts or omissions were in the best interests
of the Surviving Company.

                  "CONSTRUCTIVE TERMINATION" shall mean a material change in
position, title or function, a failure to pay, in any material respect, to a Key
Employee the base salary owed to such Key Employee under the terms of the
employment agreement between such Key Employee and the Surviving Company, or a
requirement (other than by Steven Demos or Patricia Calhoun) to relocate outside
of the Boulder, Colorado metropolitan area, or, with respect to Steven Demos
only, a change in his reporting relationship to a position other than the Chief
Executive Officer of Dean.

                  "INCAPACITY" means, as determined by a physician selected by
the employee with the consent of Dean (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), the inability to perform the essential duties of an employee's
position by reason of a physical or mental impairment which is potentially
permanent in character or which can be expected to last for a continuous period
of not less than six months.

                  "NET SALES" means net sales accounted for consistently with
the Company's past practices and the Operating Plan.
