purchasing shares of Dean Common Stock through voluntary, regular payroll
deductions. The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement

         3.1. ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES. Subject to ARTICLE VIII, all Eligible
Employees as of the beginning of each Option Period may participate in the Plan
for such Option Period at their election.

         3.2. PARTICIPATION PROCEDURES. If an Eligible Employee does not
otherwise have an election to become a Participant in effect, each Eligible
Employee choosing to participate in the Plan (herein called a "Participant")
during an Option Period shall enroll as a Participant in the Plan by filing with

(including the Initial Option Period).

this Plan, a Participant may contribute under the Plan a minimum of one percent
(1%) and a maximum of fifteen percent (15%) of the Participant's Base
Compensation. Contributions may be made only through regular payroll deductions,
net of any tax or other withholdings.

                                   Page 3 of 9
<PAGE>

eligible to participate in the Plan. The payroll deduction authorization may be
reduced or terminated at any time by the Participant's written request submitted
to the Participant's Employer; provided, however, that a Participant may not
recommence or increase payroll deductions until the beginning of the next Option
Period, nor may a Participant make more than one revision of the Participant's
payroll deduction authorization in any Option Period. Termination of deductions
shall constitute withdrawal from the Plan as set forth in Section 3.5 and
cancellation of any outstanding Options of the Participant. Reduction or
termination of deductions will become effective as soon as practicable after a
Participant's written request is received by the Participant's Employer.

         3.4. PARTICIPANT RESTRICTION. Notwithstanding any provisions of this
Plan to the contrary, no Participant will be granted an option under this Plan
which would permit the Participant's rights to purchase shares of stock under
all employee stock purchase plans of the Company and "parent corporations" and
"subsidiary corporations" (within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code) to
accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the Fair Market Value of such stock
(determined at the time each Option is "Granted" (within the meaning of Code
Section 423(b)(8)) for each calendar year during which any Option granted to
such Participant is outstanding at any time, as provided in Sections 423 and
424(d) of the Code.

         3.5. WITHDRAWAL FROM PLAN. A Participant may withdraw from the Plan
(thereby canceling all Options then in existence) at any time by giving written
notice to the Participant's Employer and to the Administrator. The Administrator
shall, as soon as practicable after receiving written notice of a Participant's
withdrawal from the Plan, cause to be delivered to the Participant a check
representing any funds held to the credit of the Participant's Payroll Deduction
Account. A Participant who has withdrawn from the Plan may thereafter reenter
the Plan by following the procedure described under Section 3.2, but not sooner
than the beginning of the next Option Period after the Participant has withdrawn
from participation.

         3.6. TERMINATION OF PARTICIPANT'S EMPLOYMENT. Upon termination of a
Participant's employment from the Dean Companies for any reason, including death
or disability, the Participant's Payroll Deduction Account in the Plan shall be
closed, and all existing Options held by the Participant shall be canceled. The
Administrator shall, as soon as practicable after termination of a Participant's
employment, cause to be delivered to the Participant or the Participant's estate
or the Participant's designated beneficiary as provided below, as applicable, a
check representing any funds held to the credit of the Participant's Payroll
Deduction Account. In the event of a Participant's death, the Participant's
Payroll Deduction Account shall be delivered and paid to the estate of such
Participant or to a beneficiary designated by the Participant in writing on a
form approved by the Administrator.

             IV. OPTIONS TO PURCHASE STOCK; MAXIMUM SHARES AVAILABLE

         4.1. MAXIMUM SHARES. The maximum number of shares which shall be issued
under the Plan, subject to adjustment upon changes in Common Stock under Article
VII, shall be 500,000 shares.

                                   Page 4 of 9
<PAGE>

         4.2. OFFERINGS. Subject to Article XIII, the Company shall make
consecutive offerings on the beginning of each Option Period to Participants to
purchase Common Stock as long as shares authorized remain available for
issuance. Each offering as of the beginning of each Option Period shall be the
total number of shares authorized under Section 4.1, less the number of shares
issued by purchases of Common Stock under Section 5.5 in prior Option Periods.

                    V. PURCHASE OF STOCK PURSUANT TO OPTIONS

         5.1. PAYROLL DEDUCTION ACCOUNTS. Each Dean Company will deduct from its
Participants' paychecks such amounts as have been authorized by the Participants
and, promptly after the end of each month, remit to the Administrator all
amounts so deducted during the month, together with a report showing each
Participant and the amounts allocable to the Payroll Deduction Account of each
Participant. The Administrator shall credit each Participant's Payroll Deduction
Account with the amount of such deposits, and shall reduce the Participant's
Payroll Deduction Account by the purchase price of all Common Stock purchased by
the Participant under this Plan and by any other withdrawals from the
Participant's Payroll Deduction Account. The Plan, through its Administrator,
shall purchase for the Stock Accounts of the Participants shares of Common Stock
with funds received under the Plan.

         5.2. STOCK ACCOUNTS. The Broker will open and maintain a Stock Account
in the name of each Participant to which will be credited all shares of Common
Stock purchased for the Participant's benefit. All shares held under the Plan
will be registered in the name of the Plan or the Broker, and will remain so
registered until the shares are delivered to the Participant. The Participant
shall have the right to sell all or any part of the shares held in the
Participant's Stock Account, pursuant to procedures established by the Broker.

         5.3. GRANT OF OPTIONS AND PURCHASE. Subject to ARTICLE VIII, each
person who is a Participant on the first day of an Option Period will as of the
first day of such Option Period be granted an Option for such period. Such
Option will be for the number of shares of Common Stock to be determined by
dividing (a) the balance in the Participant's Payroll Deduction Account on the
Option Exercise Date, by (b) the purchase price per share of Common Stock
determined under Section 5.4 below. The number of shares of Common Stock
receivable by each Participant upon exercise of an Option for an Option Period
shall be reduced, on a substantially proportionate basis, in the event that the
number of shares then available under the Plan is otherwise insufficient.

         5.4. PURCHASE PRICE. On Option Exercise Dates occurring prior to
January 1, 2001, the purchase price of each share of Common Stock purchased
pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be .90 multiplied by the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock on the last day of the Option Period. On Option
Exercise Dates occurring after January 1, 2001, the purchase price of each share
of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be 0.85
multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the last day of the
Option Period.

                                   Page 5 of 9

<PAGE>

         5.5. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Each person who is a Participant in the Plan
on each Option Exercise Date will be deemed to have exercised on that Option
Exercise Date the Option granted to the Participant for that Option Period. Upon
such exercise, the balance of the Participant's Payroll Deduction Account shall
be applied to the purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock determined
under Section 5.3, and the amount of shares of Common Stock purchased shall be
credited to the Participant's Stock Account. In the event that the balance of
the Participant's Payroll Deduction Account following an Option Period is in
excess of the total purchase price of the shares of Common Stock so purchased,
the balance of the Payroll Deduction Account shall be returned to the
Participant.

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company's
obligation to sell and deliver shares of Common Stock under the Plan is subject
to the approval required of any governmental authority in connection with the
authorization, issuance, sale or transfer of such shares, to any requirements of
the New York Stock Exchange or any national securities exchange applicable
thereto, and to compliance by the Company with other applicable legal
requirements in effect from time to time, including without limitation any
applicable tax withholding requirements.

         5.6. NO ASSIGNMENT OF PARTICIPANT'S INTEREST IN PLAN. A Participant may
not assign, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or alienate any Options or other
interests in or rights under the Plan. Options under the Plan are exercisable by
a Participant during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant. All
employees shall have the same rights and privileges under the Plan.

         5.7. VESTING. Each Participant will immediately acquire full ownership
of all shares of Common Stock at the time such shares are credited to the
Participant's Stock Account.

         5.8. DIVIDENDS, SPLITS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Any stock dividends or stock
splits in respect of shares held in the Participant's Stock Account will be
credited to the Participant's account automatically. Any distributions to
holders of Common Stock or other securities or rights to subscribe for
additional shares of Common Stock will be handled in the same manner as a cash
dividend, unless the Participant instructs the Administrator to the contrary.

         5.9. VOTING RIGHTS. The Broker will deliver to each Participant as
promptly as practicable, by mail or otherwise, all notices of meetings, proxy
statements and other material distributed by the Company to its stockholders.
The full shares of Common Stock in each Participant's Stock Account will be
voted in accordance with the Participant's signed proxy instructions duly
delivered to the Broker or pursuant to any other method of voting available to
holders of Common Stock. There will be no charge to the Participant for the
Administrator's retention or delivery of stock certificates, or in connection
with notices, proxies or other such material.

         5.10. NO INTEREST TO BE PAID. No interest will be paid to or credited
to the Payroll Deduction Accounts or Stock Accounts of the Participants.

the Plan, the Committee shall appoint an Administrator. The Administrator may be
any company or individual that the Committee deems qualified, including the
Company. The Administrator shall be responsible for the implementation of the
Plan, including allocation of funds to the Payroll Deduction Accounts and
distribution of purchased Common Stock to the Stock Accounts, and keeping
adequate and accurate records of such activities for the Participants.

         The Committee shall be entitled to adopt and apply guidelines and
procedures consistent with the purposes of the Plan. In order to effectuate the
purposes of the Plan, the Committee shall have the discretionary authority to
construe and interpret the Plan, to supply any omissions therein, to reconcile
and correct any errors or inconsistencies, to decide any questions in the
administration and application of the Plan, and to make equitable adjustments
for any mistakes or errors made in the administration of the Plan, and all such
actions or determinations made by the Committee, and the application of rules
and regulations to a particular case or issue by the Committee, in good faith,
shall not be subject to review by anyone, but shall be final, binding and
conclusive on all persons ever interested hereunder.

         6.2. BROKER. The Administrator may, in its discretion, with the consent
and approval of the Committee, appoint a Broker. The Broker may be any company
or individual that the Committee deems qualified; provided, however, that the
Broker shall be a licensed security dealer, broker, or agent authorized to make
purchases and sales of Common Stock.

         6.3. REPORTING TO PARTICIPANTS. The Broker will make available to each
Participant an accounting of the Participant's Stock Account.

                  VII. ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK

         7.1. CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK. If any change is made in the Common Stock
(through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock
dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating
dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate
structure or otherwise), the Administrator will make appropriate adjustments in
the number of shares and price per share of Common Stock subject to the Plan or
to any Option granted under the Plan.

         7.2. DISSOLUTION; MERGER; CAPITAL REORGANIZATION; ETC. In the event of
(i) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation
in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or a reverse merger in
which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock by
virtue of the merger are converted into other property, whether in the form of
securities, cash or otherwise; or (iii) any other capital reorganization in
which more than 50 percent of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote are
exchanged, the Plan shall terminate, unless another corporation assumes the
responsibility of

                                   Page 7 of 9
<PAGE>

continuing the operation of the Plan or the Committee determines in its
discretion that the Plan shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect.
If the Committee elects to terminate the Plan, the Administrator shall send to
each Participant cash in an amount equal to the funds held to the credit of such
Participant's Payroll Deduction Account.

         7.3. COMPANY'S RIGHT TO RESTRUCTURE, ETC. The grant of any right to a
Participant pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power
of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or
changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to
dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets.

                      VIII. AMENDMENT; TERMINATION OF PLAN

         8.1. AMENDMENT. The Company, acting through the Committee, reserves the
right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time or times; provided, however,
any amendment that would require the consent of stockholders under applicable
law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, the Code, the Exchange
Act or any self regulatory organization such as a national securities exchange),
will not be made unless such stockholders' consent is obtained.

         8.2. TERMINATION. In addition, the Plan shall terminate automatically
on the tenth anniversary of the Plan Start Date, or on any Option Exercise Date
when Participants become entitled to purchase a number of shares greater than
the number of reserved shares remaining available for purchase, subject to the
allocation of remaining shares pursuant to the last sentence of Section 5.3.
Upon termination of the Plan, all amounts held in the Payroll Deduction Accounts
shall, to the extent not used to purchase shares of Common Stock, be refunded to
the Participants entitled thereto.

purchase of Common Stock by Participants under the Plan. The Broker's brokerage
commissions incurred in connection with sales of Common Stock by Participants or
other transactions in Participants' Stock Accounts will be paid by the
Participants. If the Company is acting as Administrator, no expenses of
administration will be charged to the Participants.

         9.2. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event and to the extent not insured
against under any contract of insurance with an insurance company, the Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless each "Indemnified Person," as defined below,
against any and all claims, demands, suits, proceedings, losses, damages,
interest, penalties, expenses (specifically including, but not limited to,
counsel fees to the extent approved by the Board or otherwise provided by law,
court costs and other reasonable expenses of litigation), and liability of every
kind, including amounts paid in settlement, with the approval of the Board,
arising from any action or cause of action related to the Indemnified Person's
act or acts or failure to act. Such indemnity shall apply regardless of whether
such claims, demands, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, interest,

                                   Page 8 of 9
<PAGE>

penalties, expenses and liability arise in whole or in part from (a) the
negligence or other fault of the Indemnified Person, or (b) from the imposition
on such Indemnified Person of any civil penalties or excise taxes pursuant to
the Code or any other applicable laws; except when the same is judicially
determined to be due to gross negligence, fraud, recklessness, or willful or
intentional misconduct of such Indemnified Person. "Indemnified Person" shall
mean each member of the Board, the Administrator, each member of the Committee
and each other employee of any Dean Company who is allocated fiduciary
responsibility hereunder.

         9.3. NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT INTENDED. The granting of any rights to
an Eligible Employee under this Plan shall not constitute an agreement or
understanding, express or implied, on the part of any Dean Company, to employ
such Eligible Employee for any specified period.

         9.4. GOVERNING LAW. The construction, validity and operation of this
Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

         9.5. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any provision of this Plan is
determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality
or unenforcability shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Plan, but
such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be fully severable, and
the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had never been
inserted herein.

         9.6. NO LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY. Neither the Company, its directors,
officers or employees of the Committee, nor any Related Corporation which is in
existence or hereafter comes into existence, shall be liable to any Participant
or other person if it is determined for any reason by the Internal Revenue
Service or any court having jurisdiction that the Plan does not qualify under
Section 423 of the Code.

         The Company has caused this Plan to be adopted effective as of the Plan
Start Date.

                              PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

         Section 1.1 Purchase Facility.

                  (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof,
Seller may, at its option, sell and assign Purchaser Interests to the Agent for
the benefit of one or more of the Purchasers. In accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each Company may, at its option, instruct the Agent

purchase, the Agent shall purchase, on behalf of such declining Company's
Related Financial Institutions, Purchaser Interests from time to time in an

partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (ii) the aggregate of the Company
Purchase Limits for all of the Companies shall also be terminated in whole or
reduced in part, ratably among the Companies, by an amount equal to such
termination or reduction in the Purchase Limit.

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         Section 1.2 Increases.

                  Seller shall provide the Agent with at least two Business
Days' prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental
Purchase (a "Purchase Notice"). Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section
6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, (i) shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the requested Purchase Price (which, in the case of the initial
Incremental Purchase hereunder shall not be less than $10,000,000 and in the
case of subsequent Incremental Purchases shall not be less than $1,000,000),
(ii) the date of purchase (which, in the case of Incremental Purchases after the
initial Incremental Purchase hereunder, shall not exceed four per calendar
month), (iii) in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by any of the
Financial Institutions, the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period and (iv)
in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by the CL Company or by the
Bank One Company (other than substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper), the
requested CP (Tranche) Accrual Period. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice,
the Agent will promptly notify each Company of such Purchase Notice and the
Agent will identify the Companies that agree to make the purchase. If any
Company declines to make a proposed purchase, Seller may cancel the Purchase
Notice as to all Purchasers or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the
Incremental Purchase of the Purchaser Interest, which such Company has declined
to purchase, will be made by such declining Company's Related Financial
Institutions in accordance with the rest of this Section 1.2. If the proposed
Incremental Purchase or any portion thereof is to be made by any of the
Financial Institutions, the Agent shall send notice of the proposed Incremental
Purchase to the applicable Financial Institutions concurrently by telecopier,
telex or cable specifying (i) the date of such Incremental Purchase, which date
must be at least one Business Day after such notice is received by the
applicable Financial Institutions, (ii) each Financial Institution's Pro Rata
Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial
Institutions in such Financial Institution's Purchaser Group are then purchasing
and (iii) the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period. On the date of each
Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent
set forth in Article VI and the conditions set forth in this Section 1.2, the
Companies and/or the Financial Institutions, as applicable, shall deposit to the
Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon
(Chicago time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Company that has agreed
to make such Incremental Purchase, such Company's Pro Rata Share of the
aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests of such Incremental Purchase
or (ii) in the case of a Financial Institution, such Financial Institution's Pro
Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the
Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution's Purchaser Group are then
purchasing. Each Financial Institution's Commitment hereunder shall be limited
to purchasing Purchaser Interests that the Company in such Financial
Institution's Purchaser Group has declined to purchase. Each Financial
Institution's obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any
Financial Institution to make available to Seller any funds in connection with
any purchase shall not relieve any other Financial Institution of its
obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such
purchase, but no Financial Institution shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Financial Institution to make funds available in connection with any
purchase.

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         Section 1.3 Decreases. Seller shall provide the Agent with prior
written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period (a "Reduction
Notice") of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital from Collections and the
Agent will promptly notify each Purchaser of such Reduction Notice after Agent's
receipt thereof. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the
"Proposed Reduction Date") upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Capital
shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice
Period), and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced that shall be
applied ratably to the Purchaser Interests of the Companies and the Financial
Institutions in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the
Companies (ratably, based on their respective Pro Rata Shares), on the one hand,
and the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the Financial Institutions (ratably
to each Financial Institution, based on the ratio of such Financial
Institution's Capital at such time to the aggregate Capital of all of the
Financial Institutions at such time), on the other hand (the "Aggregate
Reduction"). Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time.
Concurrently with any reduction of Aggregate Capital pursuant to this Section,
Seller shall pay to the applicable Purchaser all Broken Funding Costs arising as
a result of such reduction. No Aggregate Reduction will be made following the
occurrence of the Amortization Date without the consent of the Agent.

         Section 1.4 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited
by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Documents shall be paid or deposited in immediately available funds
in accordance with the terms hereof. Such Seller Party shall use its reasonable
best efforts to pay or deposit all such amounts no later than 12:00 noon
(Chicago time) on the day when due. Any such payment or deposit not received by
1:00 pm (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding
Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Purchaser, they shall be paid to
such Purchaser at the "Payment Address" specified for such Purchaser on Schedule
A or such other address specified in writing to each other party hereto. If such
amounts are payable to the Agent, they shall be paid to the Agent at 1 Bank One
Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60670 until otherwise notified by the Agent. Upon
notice to Seller, the Agent may debit the Facility Account for all amounts due
and payable hereunder. All computations of Yield, per annum fees or discount
calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees
under any Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document shall be payable on a day that is not a Business Day, such
amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

                            PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS

         Section 2.1 Payments. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse
contained in this Agreement, Seller shall immediately pay to the Agent or
relevant Purchaser, as applicable, when due, for the account of the relevant
Purchaser or Purchasers on a full recourse basis, (i) such fees as set forth in
each Fee Letter (which fees collectively shall be sufficient to pay all fees
owing to the Financial Institutions and other Funding Sources), (ii) all CP
Costs, (iii) all amounts payable as Yield, (iv) all amounts payable as Deemed
Collections (which shall be immediately due and payable by Seller and applied to
reduce outstanding Aggregate Capital hereunder in accordance with Sections 2.2
and 2.3 hereof), (v) all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.6, (vi) all
amounts payable pursuant to Article X, if any, (vii) all Servicer costs and
expenses, including the Servicing Fee, in connection with servicing,
administering and collecting the Receivables, (viii) all Broken Funding Costs
(any request for reimbursement of which shall be accompanied by a certificate in
reasonable detail demonstrating the reasonable calculation of ay such amount)
and (ix) all Default Fees (collectively, the "Obligations"). If any Person fails
to pay any of the Obligations (other than the Default Fee) when due, such Person
agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or any Fee Letter
shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amounts hereunder in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If at any time Seller
receives any Collections or is deemed to receive any Collections, Seller shall
immediately pay such Collections or Deemed Collections to the applicable
Servicer for application in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and,
at all times prior to such payment, such Collections or Deemed Collections shall
be held in trust by Seller for the exclusive benefit of the Purchasers and the
Agent.

         Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization. Prior to the
Amortization Date, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections received by each
Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by such Servicer for the benefit
of the Agent and the Purchasers for the payment of any accrued and unpaid
Aggregate Unpaids or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2. If at
any time any Collections and/or Deemed Collections are received by any Servicer
prior to the Amortization Date, (i) such Servicer shall set aside the
Termination Percentage (hereinafter defined) of Collections and/or Deemed
Collections evidenced by the Purchaser Interests of each Terminating Financial
Institution, shall set aside Collections to be used to effect any Aggregate
Reduction in accordance with Section 1.3 and shall set aside amounts necessary
to pay Obligations due on the next succeeding Settlement Date and (ii) Seller
hereby requests and the Purchasers (other than any Terminating Financial
Institutions) hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a
reinvestment (each a "Reinvestment") with that portion of the balance of each
and every Collection and Deemed Collection received by any Servicer that is part
of any Purchaser Interest (other than any Purchaser Interests of Terminating
Financial Institutions), such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the
amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest immediately after such receipt and
corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of Capital immediately

the Agent's or applicable Purchaser's account the amounts set aside during the
preceding Settlement Period that have not been subject to a Reinvestment and
apply such amounts (if not previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1)
first, to reduce unpaid CP Costs, Yield and other Obligations and second, to
reduce the Capital of all Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial
Institutions, applied ratably to each Terminating Financial Institution
according to its respective Termination Percentage. If such Capital, CP Costs,
Yield and other Obligations shall be reduced to zero, any additional Collections
received by any Servicer (i) if applicable, shall be remitted to the Agent's or
applicable Purchaser's account to the extent required to fund any Aggregate
Reduction on such Settlement Date and (ii) any balance remaining thereafter
shall be remitted from such Servicer to Seller on such Settlement Date. Such
Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to remit all deposit amounts in
the Agent's or applicable Purchaser's account no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago
time) on such Settlement Date. Any such amounts not received by Agent or the
applicable Purchaser by 1:00 pm (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on
the next succeeding Business Day. Each Terminating Financial Institution shall
be allocated a ratable portion of Collections from its Termination Date until
such Terminating Financial Institution's Capital, if any, shall be paid in full.
This ratable portion shall be calculated on the Termination Date of each
Terminating Financial Institution as a percentage equal to (i) Capital of such
Terminating Financial Institution outstanding on its Termination Date, divided
by (ii) the Aggregate Capital outstanding on such Termination Date (the
"Termination Percentage"). Each Terminating Financial Institution's Termination
Percentage shall remain constant prior to the Amortization Date. On and after
the Amortization Date, each Termination Percentage shall be disregarded, and
each Terminating Financial Institution's Capital shall be reduced ratably with
all Financial Institutions in accordance with Section 2.3.

         Section 2.3 Collections Following Amortization. On the Amortization
Date and on each day thereafter, the Servicers shall set aside and hold in
trust, for the holder of each Purchaser Interest, all Collections received on
such day and an additional amount for the payment of any accrued and unpaid
Aggregate Unpaids owed by Seller and not previously paid by Seller in accordance
with Section 2.1. On and after the Amortization Date, the Servicers shall, at
any time upon the request from time to time by (or pursuant to standing
instructions from) the Agent (i) remit to the Agent's or applicable Purchaser's
account the amounts set aside pursuant to the preceding sentence, and (ii) apply
such amounts to reduce the Capital associated with each such Purchaser Interest
and any other Aggregate Unpaids.

         Section 2.4 Application of Collections. If there shall be insufficient
funds on deposit for the Servicers to distribute funds in payment in full of the
aforementioned amounts pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable), the
Servicers shall distribute funds:

                  first, to the payment of each Servicer's reasonable actual
         out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with servicing,
         administering and collecting the Receivables,

         including the Servicing Fee, if Seller or one of its Affiliates is not
         then acting as a Servicer,

                  second, to the reimbursement of the Agent's and the
         Purchasers' costs of collection and enforcement of this Agreement,

                  third, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees
         under the Fee Letters, CP Costs and Yield,

                  fourth, (to the extent applicable) to the ratable reduction of
         the Aggregate Capital (without regard to any Termination Percentage),

                  fifth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid
         Obligations, provided that to the extent such Obligations relate to the
         payment of Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee,
         when Seller or one of its Affiliates is acting as a Servicer, such
         costs and expenses will not be paid until after the payment in full of
         all other Obligations, and

                  sixth, after the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly
         reduced to zero, to Seller.

                  Collections applied to the payment of Aggregate Unpaids shall
be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving
effect to each of the priorities set forth in Section 2.4 above, shall be shared
ratably (within each priority) among the Agent and the Purchasers in accordance
with the amount of such Aggregate Unpaids owing to each of them in respect of
each such priority.

         Section 2.5 Payment Recission. No payment of any of the Aggregate
Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any
time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by
application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or
refunded for any reason. Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any
payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly
pay to the Agent (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such
recission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from
the date of any such recission, return or refunding.

         Section 2.6 Maximum Purchaser Interests. Seller shall ensure that the
Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers shall at no time exceed in the aggregate
100%. If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers exceeds
100%, Seller shall pay to the Purchasers (ratably based on the ratio of each
Purchaser's Capital at such time to the Aggregate Capital at such time) within
one (1) Business Day an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital,
such that after giving effect to such payment the aggregate of the Purchaser
Interests equals or is less than 100%.

         Section 2.7 Clean Up Call. In addition to Seller's rights pursuant to
Section 1.3, Seller shall have the right, upon two Business Days' prior written
notice to the Agent and the Purchasers, at any time following the reduction of
the Aggregate Capital to a level that is less than 20.0% of the original
Purchase Limit hereunder, to repurchase from the Purchasers all, but not less
than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests. The purchase price in
respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids (including any
Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of such repurchase) through the date of
such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such repurchase shall
be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of,
or against any Purchaser or the Agent.

                                 COMPANY FUNDING

         Section 3.1 CP Costs. Seller shall pay CP Costs with respect to the
Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest of the Companies for each day
that any Capital in respect of any such Purchaser Interest is outstanding. Each
Purchaser Interest of the Bank One Company funded substantially with Pooled
Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon
the percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest
represents in relation to all assets held by the Bank One Company and funded
substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper. Each other Purchaser Interest of the
Bank One Company and each Purchaser Interest of the CL Company shall accrue CP
Costs for each day during its CP (Tranche) Accrual Period at the rate determined
in accordance with the definition of "Company Costs" set forth in Exhibit I.

         Section 3.2 CP Costs Payments. On each Settlement Date relating to a CP
(Tranche) Accrual Period, Seller shall pay to the applicable Company an
aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the
Capital associated with all Purchaser Interests of such Company for the related
CP (Tranche) Accrual Period in accordance with Article II.

         Section 3.3 Calculation of Bank One Company Costs. On the third
Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date relating to a CP (Pool)
Accrual Period, the Bank One Company shall calculate the aggregate amount of its
Company Costs with respect to all Purchaser Interests funded substantially with
Pooled Commercial Paper for the applicable CP (Pool) Accrual Period and shall
notify the Agent of such aggregate amount. Within two Business Days of the
Agent's receipt of notification of such Company Costs, the Agent shall notify
Seller of the amount of such Company Costs due and payable on such Settlement
Date.

         Section 3.4 Selection and Calculation of CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods.

                  (a) In the case of Purchaser Interests of the Bank One
Company, Seller shall (and following the occurrence and during the continuance
of a Potential Amortization Event or an Amortization Event, shall with

One Company), from time to time request CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods for the
Purchaser Interests of the Bank One Company other than those funded
substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper, provided, that (i) the consent of
the Agent shall be required (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (ii)
Seller must elect CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods for all Purchaser Interests of
the Bank One Company, such that after giving effect to such election, no
Purchaser Interest of the Bank One Company is funded with Pooled Commercial
Paper and (iii) Seller may only make such election once hereunder. In the case
of Purchaser Interests of the CL Company, Seller shall, with consultation from,
and approval by, the CL Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld),
from time to time request CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods for the Purchaser
Interests of the CL Company.

                  (b) Seller or the applicable Company, upon notice to and
consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end
of a CP (Tranche) Accrual Period (the "Terminating CP Tranche") for any
Purchaser Interest, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating CP
Tranche: (i) divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple Purchaser
Interests, (ii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more other
Purchaser Interests that have a Terminating CP Tranche ending on the same day as
such Terminating CP Tranche or (iii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with a
new Purchaser Interest (other than a Purchaser Interest funded substantially
with Pooled Commercial Paper) to be purchased on the day such Terminating CP
Tranche ends, provided, that in no event may a Purchaser Interest of any
Purchasers be combined with a Purchaser Interest of any other Purchaser.

                  (c) Seller shall: at least three (3) Business Days prior to
the expiration of any Terminating CP Tranche, give the applicable Company (or
its agent) irrevocable notice of the new CP (Tranche) Accrual Period associated
with such Terminating CP Tranche and the amount of Capital to be allocated to
such new CP (Tranche) Accrual Period. Seller shall use its reasonable best
efforts to give such notice such that the applicable Company (or its agent)
receives it no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the day such request is
being made. Any such request not received by the applicable Company by 1:00 pm
(Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business
Day.

                          FINANCIAL INSTITUTION FUNDING

         Section 4.1 Financial Institution Funding. Each Purchaser Interest of
the Financial Institutions shall accrue Yield for each day during its Tranche
Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof. Until Seller gives notice to the Agent of another
Discount Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the initial Discount Rate for any
Purchaser Interest transferred to the Financial Institutions pursuant to the
terms and conditions hereof shall be the Prime Rate. If any Purchaser Interest
of any Company is assigned or transferred to, or funded by, any Funding Source

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

such Company pursuant to any Funding Agreement or to or by any other Person,
each such Purchaser Interest so assigned, transferred or funded shall each be
deemed to have a new Tranche Period commencing on the date of any such transfer
or funding and shall accrue Yield for each day during its Tranche Period at
either the LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof as if each such Purchaser Interest was held by a Financial
Institution, and with respect to each such Purchaser Interest, the transferee
thereof or lender with respect thereto shall be deemed to be a Financial
Institution in the transferring Company's Purchaser Group for purposes hereof;
provided that until Seller gives notice to the Agent of another Discount Rate in
accordance with Section 4.4, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser
Interest so transferred shall be the Prime Rate.

         Section 4.2 Yield Payments. On the Settlement Date for each Purchaser
Interest of the Financial Institutions, Seller shall pay to the applicable
Financial Institutions an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield
for the entire Tranche Period of each such Purchaser Interest in accordance with
Article II.

         Section 4.3 Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods.

                  (a) In the case of Purchaser Interests of any Financial
Institution in the Purchaser Group of the Bank One Company, Seller shall (and
following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Potential Amortization
Event or an Amortization Event, shall with consultation from, and approval by,
the applicable Financial Institution), from time to time request Tranche Periods
for the Purchaser Interests of such Financial Institutions. In the case of
Purchaser Interests of any Financial Institution in the Purchaser Group of the
CL Company, Seller shall, with consultation from, and approval by, the
applicable Financial Institution (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld), from time to time request Tranche Periods for the Purchaser Interests
of such Financial Institution. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
subsection (a), if at any time the Financial Institutions shall have a Purchaser
Interest, Seller shall always request Tranche Periods such that at least one
Tranche Period shall end on the date specified in clause (A) of the definition
of Settlement Date.

                  (b) Seller or the applicable Financial Institution, upon
notice to and consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the end of a Tranche Period (the "Terminating Tranche") for any
Purchaser Interest, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche:
(i) divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple Purchaser Interests, (ii)
combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more other Purchaser Interests
that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating
Tranche or (iii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with a new Purchaser
Interest to be purchased on the day such Terminating Tranche ends, provided,
that in no event may a Purchaser Interest of any Purchasers be combined with a
Purchaser Interest of any other Purchaser.

         Section 4.4 Financial Institution Discount Rates. Seller may select the
LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate for each Purchaser Interest of the Financial
Institutions. Seller shall: (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the LIBO Rate is
being requested as a new Discount Rate and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day
prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the
Prime Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate, give the applicable
Financial Institution irrevocable notice of the new Discount Rate for the
Purchaser Interest associated with such Terminating Tranche. Seller shall use
its reasonable best efforts to give such notice such that the applicable
Financial Institution receives it no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the
day such request is being made. Any such request not received by the applicable
Financial Institution by 1:00 pm (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received
on the next succeeding Business Day. Until Seller gives notice to the applicable
Financial Institution of another Discount Rate, the initial Discount Rate for
any Purchaser Interest transferred to the Financial Institutions pursuant to the
terms and conditions hereof (or transferred to, or funded by, any Funding Source
pursuant to any Funding Agreement or to or by any other Person) shall be the
Prime Rate.

         Section 4.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate.

                  (a) If any Financial Institution notifies the Agent that it
has determined that funding its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the
Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution's Purchaser Group at the
LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive of any
governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or
that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Purchaser
Interests at the LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) the LIBO Rate does not
accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Purchaser Interest at
the LIBO Rate, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of the LIBO Rate
for the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution's Purchaser Group
and require Seller to select the Prime Rate for any Purchaser Interest funded by
the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution's Purchaser Group
accruing Yield at the LIBO Rate.

                  (b) If less than all of the Financial Institutions in such
Financial Institution's Purchaser Group give a notice to the Agent pursuant to
Section 4.5(a), each Financial Institution which gave such a notice shall be
obliged, at the request of Seller, the Company in such Financial Institution's
Purchaser Group or the Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations
hereunder to (i) another Financial Institution in such Financial Institution's
Purchaser Group or (ii) another funding entity nominated by Seller or the Agent
that is acceptable to the Company in such Financial Institution's Purchaser
Group and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity
Termination Date in the place of such notifying Financial Institution; provided
that (i) the notifying Financial Institution receives payment in full, pursuant
to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such notifying Financial
Institution's Pro Rata Share of the Capital and Yield owing to all of the
Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution's Purchaser Group and all
accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its
Pro Rata Share of the

Institution's Purchaser Group, and (ii) the replacement Financial Institution
otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(b).

         Section 4.6 Extension of Liquidity Termination Date.

                  (a) Seller may request one or more 364-day extensions of the
Liquidity Termination Date then in effect by giving written notice of such
request to the Agent (each such notice an "Extension Notice") at least 60 days
prior to the Liquidity Termination Date then in effect. After the Agent's
receipt of any Extension Notice, the Agent shall promptly advise each Financial
Institution of such Extension Notice. Each Financial Institution may, in its
sole discretion, by a written irrevocable notice (a "Consent Notice") given to
the Agent on or prior to the 30th day prior to the Liquidity Termination Date
then in effect (such period from the date of the Extension Notice to such 30th
day being referred to herein as the "Consent Period"), consent to such extension
of such Liquidity Termination Date; provided, however, that such extension shall
not be effective with respect to a Financial Institution if such Financial
Institution: (i) notifies the Agent during the Consent Period that such
Financial Institution does not wish to consent to such extension or (ii) fails
to respond to the Agent within the Consent Period (each Financial Institution
that does not wish to consent to such extension or fails to respond to the Agent
within the Consent Period is herein referred to as a "Non-Renewing Financial
Institution"). If at the end of the Consent Period, there is no Non-Renewing
Financial Institution then, the Liquidity Termination Date shall be irrevocably
extended until the date that is 364 days after the Liquidity Termination Date
then in effect. If at the end of the Consent Period there is a Non-Renewing
Financial Institution, then unless such Non-Renewing Financial Institution
assigns its rights and obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 4.6(b) (each
such Non-Renewing Financial Institution whose rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other applicable Transaction Documents are not so assigned is
herein referred to as a "Terminating Financial Institution"), the then existing
Liquidity Termination Date shall be extended for an additional 364 days with
respect to all Financial Institutions other than the Terminating Financial
Institution; provided, however, that (i) the Purchase Limit shall be reduced on
the Termination Date applicable to each Terminating Financial Institution by an
aggregate amount equal to the Terminating Commitment Availability of each
Terminating Financial Institution and shall thereafter continue to be reduced by
amounts equal to any reduction in the Capital of any Terminating Financial
Institution (after application of Collections pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3),
(ii) the Company Purchase Limit of each Company shall be reduced by the
aggregate amount of the Terminating Commitment Amount of each Terminating
Financial Institution in such Company's Purchaser Group and (iii) the Commitment
of each Terminating Financial Institution shall be reduced to zero on the
Termination Date applicable to such Terminating Financial Institution. Upon
reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the Purchaser Interests of a
Terminating Financial Institution (after application of Collections thereto
pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3) all rights and obligations of such Terminating
Financial Institution hereunder shall be terminated and such Terminating
Financial Institution shall no longer be a "Financial Institution"; provided,
however, that the provisions of

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to Purchaser
Interests held by such Terminating Financial Institution prior to its
termination as a Financial Institution.

                  (b) Upon receipt of notice from the Agent pursuant to Section
4.6(a) of any Non-Renewing Financial Institution, one or more of the Financial
Institutions (including any Non-Renewing Financial Institution) may proffer to
the Agent and the Company in such Non-Renewing Financial Institution's Purchaser
Group the names of one or more institutions meeting the criteria set forth in
Section 12.1(b)(i) that are willing to accept assignments of and assume the
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Transaction
Documents of the Non-Renewing Financial Institution. Provided the proffered
name(s) are acceptable to the Agent and the Company in such Non-Renewing
Financial Institution's Purchaser Group, the Agent shall notify the remaining
Financial Institutions of such fact, and the then existing Liquidity Termination
Date shall be extended for an additional 364 days upon satisfaction of the
conditions for an assignment in accordance with Section 12.1, and the Commitment
of each Non-Renewing Financial Institution shall be reduced to zero.

                  (c) Any requested extension may be approved or disapproved by
a Financial Institution in its sole discretion. In the event that the
Commitments are not extended in accordance with the provisions of this Section
4.6, the Commitment of each Financial Institution shall be reduced to zero on
the Liquidity Termination Date. Upon reduction to zero of the Commitment of a
Financial Institution and upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the
Purchaser Interests of such Financial Institution all rights and obligations of
such Financial Institution hereunder shall be terminated and such Financial
Institution shall no longer be a "Financial Institution"; provided, however,
that the provisions of Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with
respect to Purchaser Interests held by such Financial Institution prior to its
termination as a Financial Institution.

writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its

bulk sales act or similar law.

                  (d) Governmental Authorization. Other than the filing of the
financing statements required hereunder, no authorization or approval or other
action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or

any court, arbitrator or governmental body.

                  (f) Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Transaction

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  (p) Not a Holding Company or an Investment Company. Such
Seller Party is not a "holding company" or a "subsidiary holding company" of a
"holding company" within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 1935, as amended, or any successor statute. Such Seller Party 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 Seller Party 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, together with any Writing or 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 Writing or
Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation.

                  (r) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policies. Such
Seller Party has complied in all material respects with its Credit and
Collection Policy with regard to each Receivable and any related Writing or
Contract, and has not made any material change to such Credit and Collection
Policy, except such material change as to which the Agent has been notified in
accordance with Section 7.1(a)(vii).

                  (s) Payments to Originators and Morningstar . With respect to
each Receivable transferred to Seller by each Originator under the Receivables
Sale Agreement, Seller has given reasonably equivalent value to such Originator
in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an
antecedent debt. No transfer by any Originator of any Receivable under the
Receivables Sale Agreement is or may be voidable under any section of the
Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. Sections 101 et seq.), as amended. With
respect to each Receivable transferred to MRC by Morningstar under the Transfer
Agreement, MRC has given reasonably equivalent value to Morningstar in
consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an
antecedent debt. No transfer by Morningstar of any Receivable under the Transfer
Agreement is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act
of 1978 (11 U.S.C. Sections 101 et seq.), as amended.

                  (t) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract, if any, with
respect to each Receivable 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).

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  (u) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable included in the Net
Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable on the date of its purchase under
the Receivables Sale Agreement was an Eligible Receivable on such purchase date.

                  (v) Net Receivables Balance. Seller has determined that,
immediately after giving effect to each purchase hereunder, the Net Receivables
Balance is at least equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital, plus (ii) the
Aggregate Reserves.

                  (w) Accounting. The manner in which such Seller Party accounts
for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Receivables Sale
Agreement and the Transfer Agreement does not jeopardize the true sale analysis.

                  (x) No Adverse Selection. To the extent that any Originator
has retained Receivables that would be Eligible Receivables but that have not
been transferred to Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreement, such Originator
has not selected those Receivables to be transferred hereunder in any manner
that materially adversely affects the Agent or the Purchasers hereunder. To the
extent that Morningstar has retained Receivables that would be Eligible
Receivables but that have not been transferred to MRC under the Transfer
Agreement, Morningstar has not selected those Receivables to be transferred
thereunder in any manner that materially adversely affects the Agent or the
Purchasers hereunder.

         Section 5.2 Financial Institution Representations and Warranties. Each
Financial Institution hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and the
Company in such Financial Institution's Purchaser Group that:

or instrument to which it is a party or by which 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 its assets, except, in any case, where such contravention
or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on (i) the financial condition or operations of such Financial Institution, (ii)
the ability of such Financial Institution to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or (iii) the legality, validity or enforceability of this

or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally and by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is sought
in a proceeding in equity or at law).

action be taken on the part of any Person and notwithstanding the failure of
Seller to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent in respect of such
Reinvestment. The failure of Seller to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions
precedent in respect of any Reinvestment shall give rise to a right of the
Agent, which right may be exercised at any time on demand of the Agent, to
rescind the related purchase and direct Seller to pay to the Agent for the
benefit of the Purchasers an amount equal to the Collections prior to the
Amortization Date that shall have been applied to the affected Reinvestment.

standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where its business is
conducted, except where the failure to so qualify or remain qualified could not
reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a

Agent receiving any necessary consents to disclosure) from time to time such
information with respect to it and the Receivables as the Agent or the Required
Purchasers may reasonably request. Such Seller Party will, from time to time

so long as no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event shall have
occurred and be continuing and (ii) the result of the immediately preceding
examination and/or visit of such Seller Party shall have been reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent, such cost shall be borne by such Seller Party not
more than once per calendar year (although in no event shall the foregoing be
construed to limit the Agent or its agents or representatives to one such
examination and/or visit during such calendar year period with respect to such
Seller Party, provided, that if the Agent or its agents or representatives fails
to make any such examination and/or visit during any calendar year period, any
Financial Institution or its agent or representatives may make such examination
and/or visit in the Agent's stead).

                  (e) Keeping and Marking of Records and Books.

         and operating procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to
         recreate records evidencing Receivables in the event of the destruction
         of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books,

         collection of all Receivables (including, without limitation, records
         adequate to permit the immediate identification of each new Receivable
         and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Receivable).
         The Servicers will (and will cause each Originator and Morningstar to)
         give the Agent notice of any

         each Originator and Morningstar to) (A) on or prior to June 30, 2000

         records and other books and records relating to the Purchaser Interests
         with a legend, acceptable to the Agent, describing the Purchaser
         Interests and (B) upon the request of the Agent following the
         occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event (x) mark
         each Writing or Contract with a legend describing the Purchaser
         Interests and (y) deliver to the Agent all Writings and Contracts

Policies. Such Seller Party will timely and fully (i) perform and comply with
all provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under
the Contracts related to the Receivables, and (ii) comply in all material
respects with its respective Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each
Receivable and any related Contract.

                  (g) Performance and Enforcement of Receivables Sale Agreement.
Seller will, and will require each Originator to, perform each of their
respective obligations and undertakings under and pursuant to the Receivables
Sale Agreement, will purchase Receivables thereunder in strict compliance with
the terms thereof and will vigorously enforce the rights and remedies accorded
to Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreement. Seller will require MRC to
perform its obligations and undertakings under the Transfer Agreement, to

Agreement. Seller will take all actions to perfect and enforce its rights and
interests (and the rights and interests of the Agent and the Purchasers as
assignees of Seller) under the Receivables Sale Agreement as the Agent may from
time to time reasonably request, including, without limitation, making claims to
which it may be entitled under any indemnity, reimbursement or similar provision
contained in the Receivables Sale Agreement and requiring MRC to make claims to
which it may be entitled under any indemnity, reimbursement or similar provision
contained in the Transfer Agreement.

                  (h) Ownership. Seller will (or will cause each Originator to)
take all necessary action to (i) vest legal and equitable title to the
Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections purchased under the
Receivables Sale Agreement irrevocably in Seller, free and clear of any Adverse
Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Agent and

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

the Purchasers (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing
statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or
any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Seller's
interest in such Receivables, Related Security and Collections and such other
action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of Seller therein
as the Agent may reasonably request), and (ii) establish and maintain, in favor
of the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a valid and perfected first
priority undivided percentage ownership interest (and/or a valid and perfected
first priority security interest) in all Receivables, Related Security and
Collections to the full extent contemplated herein, free and clear of any
Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Agent for the benefit
of the Purchasers (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing
statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or
any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Agent's (for
the benefit of the Purchasers) interest in such Receivables, Related Security
and Collections and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence
the interest of the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers as the Agent may
reasonably request).

                  (i) Purchasers' Reliance. Seller acknowledges that the
Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in
reliance upon Seller's identity as a legal entity that is separate from the
Originators. Therefore, from and after June 30, 2000, Seller shall take all
reasonable steps, including, without limitation, all steps that the Agent or any
Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain Seller's
identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties
that Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the
Originators and any Affiliates thereof and not just a division of an Originator
or any such Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in
addition to the other covenants set forth herein, Seller will:

                                              (A) conduct its own business in
         its own name and require that all full-time employees of Seller, if
         any, identify themselves as such and not as employees of any Originator
         or any Affiliate thereof (including, without limitation, by means of
         providing appropriate employees with business or identification cards
         identifying such employees as Seller's employees);

                                              (B) compensate all employees,
         consultants and agents directly, from Seller's own funds, for services
         provided to Seller by such employees, consultants and agents and, to
         the extent any employee, consultant or agent of Seller is also an
         employee, consultant or agent of any Originator or any Affiliate
         thereof, allocate the compensation of such employee, consultant or
         agent between Seller and Originator or such Affiliate, as applicable,
         on a basis that reflects the services rendered to Seller and such
         Originator or such Affiliate, as applicable;

         (by signage or otherwise) as its offices and, if such office is located
         in the offices of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, allocate
         fairly any overhead for shared office space;

                                              (D) have a separate telephone
         number or extension, which will be answered only in its name and
         separate stationery, invoices and checks in its own name;

                                              (E) conduct all transactions with
         the Originators and the Servicers (including, without limitation, any
         delegation of its obligations hereunder as Servicers) strictly on an
         arm's-length basis, allocate all overhead expenses (including, without
         limitation, telephone and other utility charges) for items shared
         between Seller and each Originator (or any Affiliate thereof) on the
         basis of actual use to the extent practicable and, to the extent such
         allocation is not practicable, on a basis reasonably related to actual
         use;

                                              (F) at all times have as its
         general partner a limited liability company having at least one
         Independent Manager;

         limited partnership formalities as a distinct entity, and ensure that
         all corporate and/or limited partnership actions relating to (A) the
         selection, maintenance or replacement of the general partner, (B) the
         dissolution or liquidation of Seller or (C) the initiation of,
         participation in, acquiescence in or consent to any bankruptcy,
         insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Seller, are
         duly authorized by the Independent Manager of the general partner;

                                              (H) maintain Seller's books and
         records separate from those of each Originator and any Affiliate
         thereof and otherwise readily identifiable as its own assets rather
         than assets of such Originator and any Affiliate thereof;

                                              (I) prepare its financial
         statements separately from those of each Originator and Morningstar and
         insure that any consolidated financial statements of such Originator or
         any Affiliate thereof that include Seller and that are filed with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental agency
         have notes clearly stating that Seller is a separate corporate entity
         and that its assets will be available first and foremost to satisfy the
         claims of the creditors of Seller;

         separate from, and not commingled with, those of any Originator or any
         Affiliate thereof and only maintain bank accounts or other depository
         accounts to which Seller alone is the account party and from which
         Seller alone (or the Agent hereunder) has the sole power to make
         withdrawals;

                                              (K) pay all of Seller's operating
         expenses from Seller's own assets (except for certain payments by the

         the transactions contemplated and authorized by this Agreement and the

         indebtedness that would cause the Required Capital Amount to cease to
         be so maintained;

                                              (Q) take such other actions as are

Seller will maintain exclusive ownership, dominion and control (subject to the
terms of this Agreement) of each Lock-Box and Collection Account and shall not
grant the right to take dominion and control or grant "control" (within the
meaning of Section 9- 104 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) of any
Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a
future event to any Person, except to the Agent as contemplated by this
Agreement.

any time owing except, in the case of each Seller Party other than Seller, for
taxes not yet due or that are being diligently contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and that have been adequately reserved against in
accordance with GAAP. Seller will pay when due any taxes payable in connection
with the Receivables, exclusive of taxes on or measured by income or gross
receipts of any Company, the Agent or any Financial Institution.

Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to the amount and
timing of payments to be made to such Originator in respect of the purchase
price for such Receivable. With respect to any Receivable purchased by MRC from

after the date hereof (the "Lock-Box Date"), Seller shall have notified all
Obligors of Receivables originated by any Local Originator to pay all

on the date hereof, Seller shall have delivered, on or prior to the Lock-Box
Date, an executed Collection Account Agreement acceptable to the Agent with
respect to such new Lock-Box or Collection Account.

                  (n) Amendments to Existing Collection Account Agreements. On

amendments to each of the Collection Account Agreements executed and delivered
in connection with the Original Agreement, each such amendment to be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

                  (o) Chase Accounts. Such Seller Party will, prior to the
Lock-Box Date, (i) terminate (or caused to be terminated) the Chase Bank of
Texas as a Collection Bank and (ii) instruct all Obligors currently remitting
payments to the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts identified on Schedule G (the
"Chase Lock-Boxes") to remit such payments to another existing Lock-Box or
Collection Account or a new Lock-Box or Collection Account as to which such
Seller Party will, within the time period specified above, deliver to the Agent
an executed Collection Account Agreement acceptable to the Agent with respect to
such new Lock-Box or Collection Account. On and after the Lock-Box Date, such
Seller Party will not permit any Collections or any other proceeds of

         Section 7.2 Negative Covenants of The Seller Parties. Until the date on
which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and this
Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each Seller Party hereby
covenants, as to itself, that:

                  (a) Name Change, Jurisdiction of Organization, Offices,
Records and Books of Accounts. Such Seller Party will not change its name,
identity, corporate or other organizational structure or jurisdiction of
organization (within the meaning of Sections 9-503 and/or 9-507 of the UCC of
all applicable jurisdictions) or relocate its chief executive office, principal
place of business or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i)
given the Agent at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof and (ii)
delivered to the Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents
requested by the Agent in connection with such change or relocation.

                  (b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Except as may
be required by Section 7.1(m) or by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.2(b), such
Seller Party will not add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank, or make
any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any
Lock-Box or Collection Account, unless the Agent shall have received, at least
ten (10) days before the proposed effective date therefor, (i) written notice of
such addition, termination or change and (ii) with respect to the addition of a
Collection Bank or a Collection Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection
Account Agreement acceptable to the Agent with respect to the new Collection
Account or Lock-Box; provided, however, that the Servicers may make changes in
instructions to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require
such Obligor to make payments to another existing Collection Account.

                  (c) Modifications to Writings, Contracts and Credit and
Collection Policies. Such Seller Party will not, and will not permit any
Originator or Morningstar to, make any change to such Originator's or
Morningstar's Credit and Collection Policy that could materially (either
individually or in the aggregate) adversely affect the collectibility of the
Receivables or materially (either individually or in the aggregate) decrease the
credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Except as provided in Section
8.2(d), the Servicers will not, and will not permit any Originator or
Morningstar to, extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or
the Writing or Contract related thereto other than in accordance with such
Originator's or Morningstar's Credit and Collection Policy.

                  (d) Sales, Liens. Seller 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, Related Security or Collections, or upon or with respect to the
Writing or 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 the
Agent and the Purchasers provided for herein), and Seller will defend the right,
title and interest of the Agent and

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

the Purchasers in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all
claims of third parties claiming through or under Seller or any Originator or
Morningstar. Seller will not create or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge,
security interest, encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar arrangement on any
of its inventory, the financing or lease of which gives rise to any Receivable.

                  (e) Net Receivables Balance. At no time prior to the
Amortization Date shall Seller permit the Net Receivables Balance to be less
than an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital plus (ii) the
Aggregate Reserves.

                  (f) Termination Date Determination. Seller will not designate
the Termination Date (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement), or send any
written notice to any Originator in respect thereof, without the prior written
consent of the Agent, except with respect to the occurrence of such Termination
Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of the Receivables Sale Agreement.

                  (g) Restricted Junior Payments. From and after the occurrence
of any Amortization Event, Seller will not make any Restricted Junior Payment
if, after giving effect thereto, Seller would fail to meet its obligations set
forth in Section 7.2(e).

                  (h) Demand Notes. At no time shall Seller cause or permit the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Demand Note to exceed the sum of
$21,325,653.

                          ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

         Section 8.1 Designation of Servicers. (a) The servicing, administration
and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person or Persons
(each such Person, a "Servicer") so designated from time to time in accordance
with this Section 8.1. Each of Morningstar, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern
Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity and Tuscan Management is hereby
designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of,
Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Agent may, and at the
direction of the Required Purchasers shall, at any time following an
Amortization Event, designate as Servicer any Person to succeed Morningstar,
Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, any Dean Entity
or Tuscan Management, or any successor Servicer.

                  (b) Without the prior written consent of the Agent and the
Required Purchasers, neither Morningstar, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern
Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, any Dean Entity nor Tuscan Management shall be
permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any
Person other than (i) Seller and (ii) with respect to certain Charged-Off
Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

its customary practices. Seller shall not be permitted to further delegate to
any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of a Servicer delegated
to it by Morningstar, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan
Dairies, any Dean Entity or Tuscan Management. If at any time following an
Amortization Event the Agent shall designate as Servicer any Person other than
Morningstar, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, any
Dean Entity or Tuscan Management, all duties and responsibilities theretofore
delegated by Morningstar, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan
Dairies, any Dean Entity or Tuscan Management to Seller may, at the discretion
of the Agent, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Agent to
Morningstar, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, any
Dean Entity or Tuscan Management, as applicable, and to Seller.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), (i) each of
Morningstar, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies,
each Dean Entity and Tuscan Management shall be and remain primarily liable to
the Agent and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all of its
duties and responsibilities as a Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Agent and the
Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Morningstar, Country
Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity and
Tuscan Management in matters relating to the discharge by a Servicer of its
duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Agent and the Purchasers shall not be
required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than
Morningstar, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies,
each Dean Entity or Tuscan Management in order for communication to a Servicer
and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished.
Each of Morningstar, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan
Dairies, each Dean Entity and Tuscan Management, at all times that it is a
Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate
of a Servicer with any notice given to a Servicer under this Agreement.

         Section 8.2 Duties of Servicer. Each Servicer shall take or cause to be
taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each
Receivable from time to time, all in accordance in all material respects with
applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and
in accordance in all material respects with the applicable Originator's or
Morningstar's Credit and Collection Policy.

                  (b) Each Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all
Collections directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account; provided, however,
that (i) prior to the date that is 45 days after the date hereof, to the extent
an Obligor of a Receivable originated by a Local Originator currently remits
Collections to a local employee of a Local Originator, the applicable Servicer
will insure that such local employee remits such Collections to a local
depository account no less frequently than weekly and within two (2) Business
Days of such local employee's deposit of such Collections, such Servicer will
cause such Collections to be deposited directly to a Lock-Box or Collection
Account; and (ii) to the extent that the Originator (other than a Local
Originator) of the Receivable giving rise to such Collections

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

or Morningstar, as applicable, currently permits the Obligor of such Receivable
to pay such Collections to a local employee of such Originator or Morningstar,
as applicable, such Servicer will insure that such local employees remit such
Collections to a local depository account no less frequently than weekly, and
within two (2) Business Days of such local employee's deposit of such
Collections, such Servicer will cause such Collections to be deposited directly
to a Lock-Box or Collection Account. With respect to payments relating to
Receivables that are remitted directly to any Servicer, such Servicer will remit
such payments (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a
Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within two (2) Business
Days following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, such
Servicer will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held
in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers. Each
Servicer shall effect a Collection Account Agreement substantially in the form
of Exhibit VI with each bank party to a Collection Account at any time. Prior to
the delivery of any Collection Notice to any Collection Bank, in the case of any
remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been
identified, to the satisfaction of the applicable Servicer, to not constitute
Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security (which
identification shall occur no later than two (2) Business Days after such
amounts are received therein), such Servicer shall promptly (and, in any event,
no later than one (1) Business Day after such identification) remit such items
to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances and cause
such amounts to be removed from such Lock-Box or Collection Account. From and
after the date the Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice
pursuant to Section 8.3, the Agent may request that the Servicers, and the
Servicers thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the
Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified
by the Agent and, at all times thereafter, Seller and the Servicers shall not
deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or
otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other
than Collections.

                  (c) The Servicers shall administer the Collections in
accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicers
shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller and the Purchasers
their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The
Servicers shall, upon the request of the Agent, segregate, in a manner
acceptable to the Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it
from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of each of the
Servicers or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article
II. If the Servicers shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Servicers shall segregate and deposit with a bank
designated by the Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set
aside for the Purchasers on the second Business Day following receipt by any
Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of
transfer.

                  (d) The Servicers may, in accordance with the applicable
Originator's or Morningstar's Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity
of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the
Servicers determine to be appropriate

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or
adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent
Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agent or the
Purchasers under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Amortization Event and until such time as the Aggregate Unpaids have been
indefeasibly paid in full, the Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right
to direct the Servicers to commence or settle any legal action with respect to
any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

                  (e) The Servicers shall hold in trust for Seller and the
Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the
related Writings and Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise
necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as
reasonably practicable upon demand of the Agent, deliver or make available to
the Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Agent. The Servicers
shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt thereof turn over to
Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to
Indebtedness not constituting Receivables. The Servicers shall, from time to
time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after
any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers
pursuant to Article II.

                  (f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness
owed by it to any Originator or Morningstar or Seller shall, except as otherwise
specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless
otherwise instructed by the Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable
of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any
amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other
receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

         Section 8.3 Collection Notices. The Agent is authorized at any time to
date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Seller
hereby agrees that, effective when the Agent delivers such notice, the Agent
(for the benefit of the Purchasers) shall have exclusive ownership and sole
"control" (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC of all applicable
jurisdictions) of each Lock-Box, the Collection Accounts and the amounts on
deposit therein. In case any authorized signatory of Seller whose signature
appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority
before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be
valid as if such authority had remained in force. Seller hereby authorizes the
Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled to (i) endorse Seller's name
on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) enforce the
Receivables, the related Writings and Contracts and the Related Security and
(iii) take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash,
checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come
into the possession of the Agent rather than Seller or any Servicer.

         Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent and the Purchasers of their rights
hereunder shall not release the Servicers, the Originators, Morningstar or
Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables
or under the related Writings or Contracts. The Purchasers shall have no
obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Writings or
Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of
Seller.

         Section 8.5 Reports. The Servicers shall prepare and forward to the
Agent and each Financial Institution (i) on the 20th calendar day of each month
and at such times as the Agent or the Required Purchasers shall request, a
Monthly Report and (ii) at such times as the Agent or the Required Purchasers
shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of
such Receivables. In addition, during any time when the long-term debt rating of
Provider is rated Ba3 or lower by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and BB- or
lower by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, the Servicers shall prepare and
forward to the Agent and each Financial Institution on Wednesday of each
calendar week, an abbreviated Monthly Report in a form acceptable to the Agent
(each such report, a "Weekly Report") with respect to and as of the end of the
immediately preceding calendar week.

         Section 8.6 Servicing Fees. In consideration of each of Morningstar's,
Country Fresh's, Land-O-Sun's, Southern Foods', GTL's, Tuscan Dairies', each
Dean Entity's and Tuscan Management's agreement to each act as a Servicer
hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as each of Morningstar,
Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity
and Tuscan Management shall continue to perform as a Servicer hereunder, Seller
shall pay over to Morningstar, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL,
Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity and Tuscan Management collectively, a fee (the
"Servicing Fee") on each Settlement Date (other than a Settlement Date relating
to a CP (Tranche) Accrual Period) for the immediately preceding Settlement
Period equal to 1% (one percent) of the lesser of the (a) the average Net
Receivables Balance during such Settlement Period and (b) the average Capital of
all Receivables during such period, as compensation for its servicing
activities. Such Servicing Fee shall be allocated among Morningstar, Country
Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity and
Tuscan Management as Morningstar, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods,
GTL, Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity and Tuscan Management shall mutually
determine.

other rights that the Agent, any Purchaser, any Funding Source or any of their
respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under applicable law, (A) Seller
hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) the Agent, each Purchaser,
each Funding Source and their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers,
directors and employees (each an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and
all damages, losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all
other amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys' fees (which attorneys may
be employees of the Agent or such Purchaser) and disbursements (all of the
foregoing being collectively referred to as "Indemnified Amounts") awarded
against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this
Agreement, or the use of the proceeds of any purchase hereunder, or the
acquisition, funding or ownership, either directly or indirectly, by a Purchaser
or a Funding Source of a Purchaser Interest or of an interest in the
Receivables, or any Receivable or any Contract or any Writing, or any action of
any Seller Party, any Originator, Morningstar or any Affiliate of any of the
foregoing and (B) the Servicers hereby agree to indemnify (and pay upon demand
to) each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred
by any of them arising out of any Servicer's activities as Servicer hereunder
excluding, however, in all of the foregoing instances under the preceding
clauses (A) and (B):

                                    (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a
         final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such
         Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence or willful
         misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party seeking
         indemnification;

                                    (ii) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the
         same includes losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible
         on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of
         the related Obligor; or

                                    (iii) franchise taxes and taxes imposed by
         the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Party's principal executive
         office is located, on or measured by the overall net income of such
         Indemnified Party to the extent that the computation of such taxes is
         consistent with the characterization for income tax purposes of the
         acquisition by the Purchasers of Purchaser Interests as a loan or loans
         by the Purchasers to Seller secured by the Receivables, the Related
         Security, the Collection Accounts and the Collections;

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the
liability of any Seller Party or limit the recourse of the Purchasers to any
Seller Party for amounts otherwise

         any Originator or Morningstar to comply with any applicable law, rule
         or regulation with respect to any Receivable or Writing or Contract
         related thereto, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or Writing or
         Contract included therein with any such applicable law, rule or
         regulation or any failure of any Originator or Morningstar to keep or
         perform any of its obligations, express or implied, with respect to the

         Writing or Contract or any Receivable;

                                    (v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense
         (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to
         the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense
         based on such Receivable or the related Writing or Contract not being a
         legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against
         it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the
         sale of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the
         furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;

                                    (vi) the commingling of Collections of
         Receivables at any time with other funds;

and appoints Bank One to act as its agent hereunder and under each other
Transaction Document, and authorizes the Agent to take such actions as agent on

Transaction Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser, and no
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities on the part of the Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document or otherwise exist for the Agent. In performing its
functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the
Agent shall act solely as agent for the Purchasers and does not assume nor shall
be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with
or for any Seller Party or any of such Seller Party's successors or assigns. The
Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Agent to
personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction
Document or applicable law. The appointment and authority of the Agent hereunder
shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Aggregate Unpaids.
Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Agent to execute each of the Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements on behalf of such Purchaser (the terms of
which shall be binding on such Purchaser).

         Section 11.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through

selected by it with reasonable care.

         Section 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action
lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with

Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any
manner to any of the Purchasers for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by any Seller Party contained in this Agreement, any other
Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this
Agreement, or any other Transaction Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or
any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection

perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any
condition specified in Article VI, or for the perfection, priority, condition,
value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. The Agent
shall not be under any obligation to any Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as
to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained
in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to
inspect the properties, books or records of the Seller Parties. The Agent shall
not be deemed to have knowledge of any Amortization Event or Potential
Amortization Event unless the Agent has received notice from Seller or a
Purchaser.

         Section 11.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Seller), independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall in all
cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such
advice or concurrence of the Required Purchasers or all of the Purchasers, as
applicable, as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Purchasers, provided that unless and until the Agent shall
have received such advice, the Agent may take or refrain from taking any action,
as the Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers.
The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, in accordance with a request of the Required Purchasers or all of the
Purchasers, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers.

         Section 11.5 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser
expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter
taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Seller
Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Agent that it has and will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of Seller and
made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

         Section 11.6 Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Financial
Institutions agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents, ratably based on the ratio of
each Financial Institution's Commitment to the aggregate Commitment, to the
extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts for
which the Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to reimbursement
by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the
Agent,

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

in its capacity as Agent and acting on behalf of the Purchasers, in connection
with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents.

         Section 11.7 Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its
Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any
kind of business with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller as though the Agent were
not the Agent hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of Purchaser Interests
pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms "Financial
Institution," "Related Financial Institution," "Purchaser," "Financial
Institutions," "Related Financial Institutions," and "Purchasers" shall include
the Agent in its individual capacity.

         Section 11.8 Successor Agent. The Agent may, upon five days' notice to
Seller and the Purchasers, and the Agent will, upon the direction of all of the
Purchasers (other than the Agent, in its individual capacity) resign as Agent.
If the Agent shall resign, then the Required Purchasers during such five-day
period shall appoint, with the consent of the Seller, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, from among the Purchasers a successor agent.
If for any reason no successor Agent is appointed by the Required Purchasers
during such five-day period, then effective upon the termination of such five
day period, the Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the Agent
hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and Seller and the Servicers
(as applicable) shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids
directly to the applicable Purchasers and for all purposes shall deal directly
with the Purchasers. After the effectiveness of any retiring Agent's resignation
hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the
provisions of this Article XI and Article X shall continue in effect for its
benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents.

                           ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

         Section 12.1 Assignments. Each Seller Party, the Agent and each
Purchaser hereby agree and consent to the complete or partial assignment by any
Company of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and
obligations under this Agreement to any Funding Source pursuant to any Funding
Agreement or to any other Person, and upon such assignment, such Company shall
be released from its obligations so assigned. Further, each Seller Party, the
Agent and each Purchaser hereby agree that any assignee of any Company of this
Agreement or of all or any of the Purchaser Interests of any Company shall have
all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term "Company"
explicitly referred to and included such party (provided that (i) the Purchaser
Interests of any such assignee that is a Company or a commercial paper conduit
shall accrue CP Costs based on

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

such Company's Company Costs or on such commercial paper conduit's cost of
funds, respectively, and (ii) the Purchaser Interests of any other such assignee
shall accrue Yield pursuant to Section 4.1), and no such assignment shall in any
way impair the rights and benefits of any Company hereunder. Neither Seller nor
any Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this
Agreement.

                  (b) Any Financial Institution may at any time and from time to
time assign to one or more Persons ("Purchasing Financial Institutions") all or
any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an
assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VII hereto
(the "Assignment Agreement") executed by such Purchasing Financial Institution
and such selling Financial Institution. The consent of the Company in such
selling Financial Institution's Purchaser Group and the consent of Seller shall
be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment; provided,
however, that in the event Seller fails to consent to any proposed Purchasing
Financial Institution during the thirty (30) day period following Seller's
initial receipt of a request for Seller's consent to any such assignment, only
the consent of the Company in such selling Financial Institution's Purchaser
Group shall thereafter be required with respect to any such assignment. Each
assignee of a Financial Institution must (i) have a short-term debt rating of
A-1 or better by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group and P-1 by Moody's Investor
Service, Inc. and (ii) agree to deliver to the Agent, promptly following any
request therefor by the Agent or the Company in such selling Financial
Institution's Purchaser Group, an enforceability opinion in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent and such Company. Upon delivery of the executed
Assignment Agreement to the Agent, such selling Financial Institution shall be
released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
Thereafter the Purchasing Financial Institution shall for all purposes be a
Financial Institution party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and
obligations of a Financial Institution (including, without limitation, the
applicable obligations of a Related Financial Institution) under this Agreement
to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent
or action by Seller, the Purchasers or the Agent shall be required.

                  (c) Each of the Financial Institutions agrees that in the
event that it shall cease to have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group and P-1 by Moody's Investor Service, Inc. (or,
solely in the case of CLNY, a short-term debt rating of A-2 or better by
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group and P-2 by Moody's Investor Service, Inc.) (an
"Affected Financial Institution"), such Affected Financial Institution shall be
obliged, at the request of the Company in such Affected Financial Institution's
Purchaser Group or the Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations
hereunder to (x) another Financial Institution in such Affected Financial
Institution's Purchaser Group or (y) another funding entity nominated by the
Agent and acceptable to the Company in such Affected Financial Institution's
Purchaser Group, and willing to participate in this Agreement through the
Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such Affected Financial Institution;
provided that the Affected Financial Institution receives payment in full,
pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Financial
Institution's Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Capital and Yield owing to the
Financial Institutions

unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata
Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in such Affected
Financial Institution's Purchaser Group.

         Section 12.2 Participations. Any Financial Institution may, in the
ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a
"Participant") participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser
Interests of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution's
Purchaser Group or any other interest of such Financial Institution hereunder.
Notwithstanding any such sale by a Financial Institution of a participating
interest to a Participant, such Financial Institution's rights and obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Financial Institution shall
remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and
Seller, each Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Financial Institution in connection with such Financial Institution's
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Financial Institution agrees
that any agreement between such Financial Institution and any such Participant
in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Financial
Institution's right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or
modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or
modification described in Section 14.1(b)(i).

         Section 14.1 Waivers and Amendments. No failure or delay on the part of
the Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any power, right or remedy under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and
remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law. Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

                  (b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended,
supplemented, modified or waived except in writing in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 14.1(b). Each Company, Seller and the Agent, at the
direction of the Required Purchasers, may enter into written modifications or
waivers of any provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, that no such
modification or waiver shall:

         Purchaser, (A) extend the Liquidity Termination Date or the date of any

         definition of Required Purchasers or this Section 14.1(b), (F) consent

         and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the definition of
         "Eligible Receivable,""Loss Reserve," Yield and Servicer Reserve,"
         "Default Ratio," "Delinquency Ratio," "Dilution Reserve," or "Dilution
         Ratio" or (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term
         used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A)
         through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of
         the restrictions set forth in such clauses; or

                                     (ii) without the written consent of the
         then Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement if
         the effect thereof is to affect the rights or duties of such Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Financial

the Agent, the Required Purchasers and each Company may enter into amendments to
modify any of the terms or provisions of Article XI, Article XII, Section 14.13

Party. Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section 14.1
shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally and shall be binding upon each
Seller Party, the Purchasers and the Agent.

         Section 14.2 Notices. Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all

Purchaser in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Seller. Seller agrees
to deliver promptly to the Agent and each applicable Purchaser a written
confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of
Seller; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the
validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action
taken by the Agent or applicable Purchaser, the records of the Agent or
applicable Purchaser shall govern absent manifest error.

         Section 14.3 Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or
otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate
Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to
Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other
Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such
Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or
warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so
that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such
Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is
thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and
the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without
interest.

         Section 14.4 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.
Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute
and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be
necessary or reasonably desirable, or that the Agent may request, to perfect,
protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agent
or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, Seller will, upon the request of the Agent,
execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments
thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments and documents, that
may be necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to
perfect, protect or evidence such Purchaser Interests. At any time after the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, the Agent may,
or the Agent may direct Seller or any Servicer to, notify the Obligors of
Receivables, at Seller's expense, of the ownership or security interests of the
Purchasers under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts
due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the
Agent or its designee. Seller or the Servicers (as applicable) shall, at any
Purchaser's request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such
notification.

                  (b) If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its
obligations hereunder, the Agent or any Purchaser may (but shall not be required
to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Agent's or such
Purchaser's costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable
by Seller as provided in Section 10.3. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes
the Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent,
and appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller
Party (i) to execute on behalf of Seller as debtor and to file financing or
continuation statements (and amendments thereto and assignments thereof)
necessary or desirable in the Agent's sole discretion to perfect and to maintain
the perfection and priority

photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement
with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the

Receivables. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
The authorization set forth in the second sentence of this Section 14.4(b) is
intended to meet all requirements for authorization by a debtor under Article 9
of any applicable enactment of the UCC, including, without limitation, Section
9-509 thereof.

         Section 14.5 Confidentiality. Each Seller Party and each Purchaser
shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain

information with respect to the Agent and each Purchaser and their respective
businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring,
negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that
such Seller Party and such Purchaser and its officers and employees may disclose
such information to such Seller Party's and such Purchaser's external
accountants and attorneys and as required by any applicable law or order of any
judicial or administrative proceeding.

                  (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each
Seller Party hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with
respect to it (i) to the Agent, the Financial Institutions or the Companies by
each other, (ii) by the Agent or the Purchasers to any prospective or actual
assignee or participant of any of them and (iii) by the Agent or any Purchaser
to any rating agency, Funding Source, Commercial Paper dealer or provider of a
surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to any Company or any entity
organized for the purpose of purchasing, or making loans secured by, financial
assets for which Bank One or CLNY acts as the administrative agent and to any
officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the
foregoing. In addition, the Purchasers and the Agent may disclose any such
nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request
or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings
(whether or not having the force or effect of law).

         Section 14.6 Bankruptcy Petition. Seller, the Servicers, the Agent and
each Financial Institution hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date
that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior
indebtedness of any Funding Source that is a special purpose bankruptcy remote
entity or of any Company, it will not institute against, or join any other
Person in instituting against, any such entity or any Company any bankruptcy,

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         Section 14.14 Characterization. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that each purchase hereunder shall constitute and be treated as an
absolute and irrevocable sale, which purchase shall provide the applicable
Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Purchaser
Interest. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of a
Purchaser Interest hereunder is made without recourse to Seller; provided,
however, that (i) Seller shall be liable to each Purchaser and the Agent for all
representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Seller pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is
not intended to result in an assumption by any Purchaser or the Agent or any
assignee thereof of any obligation of Seller or any Originator or any other
Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the Related Security, or the
related Writings or Contracts, or any other obligations of Seller or any
Originator.

                  (b) In addition to any ownership interest that the Agent may
from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, Seller hereby grants to the Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a valid and perfected security interest in
all of Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now
existing or hereafter arising, the Collections, each Lock-Box, each Collection
Account, all Related Security, all other rights and payments relating to such
Receivables, and all proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and
security interests therein to secure the prompt and complete payment of the
Aggregate Unpaids. The Agent and the Purchasers shall have, in addition to the
rights and remedies that 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.

         Section 14.15 Withholding. Any Purchaser that is not incorporated under
the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, agrees to deliver
to the Agent (with copies to Seller) two duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Forms W- 8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that
such Purchaser is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes.

         Section 14.16 Confirmation and Ratification of Terms.

                  (a) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference
to the Original Agreement in any other Transaction Document, and any document,
instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with the
Original Agreement or any other Transaction Document, shall mean and be a
reference to this Agreement.

                  (b) The other Transaction Documents and all agreements,
instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with the Original
Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall each be deemed to be amended
to the extent necessary, if any, to give effect to the provisions of this
Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from
time to time.

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  (c) The effect of this Agreement is to amend and restate the
Original Agreement in its entirety, and to the extent that any rights, benefits
or provisions in favor of the Agent or any Purchaser existed in the Original
Agreement and continue to exist in this Agreement without any written waiver of
any such rights, benefits or provisions prior to the date hereof, then such
rights, benefits or provisions are acknowledged to be and to continue to be
effective from and after June 30, 2000. This Agreement is not a novation.

                  (d) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that any and all
rights, remedies and payment provisions under the Original Agreement, including,
without limitation, any and all rights, remedies and payment provisions with
respect to (i) any representation and warranty made or deemed to be made
pursuant to the Original Agreement, or (ii) any indemnification provision, shall
continue and survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

                  (e) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that any and all
amounts owing as or for Capital, Yield, CP Costs, fees, expenses or otherwise
under or pursuant to the Original Agreement, immediately prior to the
effectiveness of this Agreement shall be owing as or for Capital, Yield, CP
Costs, fees, expenses or otherwise, respectively, under or pursuant to this
Agreement.

         Section 14.17 Excess Funds. Each of Seller, each Servicer, each
Purchaser and the Agent agrees that any Company shall be liable for any claims
that such party may have against such Company only to the extent that such
Company has funds in excess of those funds necessary to pay matured and maturing
Commercial Paper of such Company and to the extent such excess funds are
insufficient to satisfy the obligations of such Company hereunder, such Company
shall have no liability with respect to any amount of such obligations remaining
unpaid and such unpaid amount shall not constitute a claim against such Company.
Any and all claims against any Company shall be subordinate to the claims
against such Company of the holders of such Company's Commercial Paper and any
Person providing liquidity support to such Company.

Purchaser Interest by the CL Company (including, without limitation, the related

                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                           each Originator and constitutes the legal, valid, and
                           binding obligation of each Originator enforceable in

                           enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
                           insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement
                           of creditors' rights generally and subject also to

                           sufficient to constitute authorization by each
                           Originator for the filing of the financing statements
                           required under the Receivables Sale Agreement.

                  --       With respect to each Originator, for the purposes of
                           the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in its state
                           of organization, such Originator is a "registered
                           organization".

                  --       The provisions of the Receivables Sale Agreement are
                           effective to create a valid security interest in
                           favor of Seller in all Receivables and upon the
                           filing of financing statements, Seller shall acquire

                           Receivables.

                  --       To the best of the opinion giver's knowledge, there
                           is no action, suit or other proceeding against any
                           Originator or any Affiliate of any Originator, that
                           would materially adversely affect the business or
                           financial condition of any Originator and its
                           Affiliates taken as a whole or that would materially
                           adversely affect the ability of any Originator to
                           perform its obligations under the Receivables Sale
                           Agreement.

                           and its Affiliates taken as a whole or that would

                           by such Financial Institution and, assuming due

                           other parties thereto, constitutes a legal, valid and
                           binding obligation of such Financial Institution,
                           enforceable against such Financial Institution in

                           Morningstar is a "registered organization".

                  --       The provisions of the Transfer are effective to

                           all Receivables and upon the filing of financing
                           statements, MRC shall acquire a first priority,
                           perfected security interest in such Receivables.

                           is no action, suit or other proceeding against
                           Morningstar or any Affiliate of Morningstar, that
                           would materially adversely affect the business or
                           financial condition of Morningstar and its Affiliates
