The Administrative Seller shall provide the Agent and each Purchaser with at least two Business Days’ prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”) to be made by a Seller. 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 any Pool Company (other than an Incremental Purchase funded by such Pool Company 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, the Administrative Seller may cancel the Purchase Notice as to all Purchasers no later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of purchase specified in the Purchase Notice 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.

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 any 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.

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 and of each Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, 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) each Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers (other than any Terminating Financial Institutions and, to the extent applicable, any Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group) 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 and, to the extent applicable, of any Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group), 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 prior to such receipt (but giving effect to any ratable reduction thereof pursuant to application of an Aggregate Reduction). On each Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of the Amortization Date, the Servicers shall remit to 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 and, to the extent applicable, of each Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, applied ratably to such Terminating Financial Institution and each such Company 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 the Sellers on such Settlement Date. Such Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to remit all deposit amounts to 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 and each Company in such Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group shall be allocated a ratable portion of Collections from its Termination Date until, with respect to a Terminating Financial Institution, such Terminating Financial Institution’s Capital, if any, shall be paid in full and, with respect to a related Company (i) if any Related Financial Institution with respect to such Company continues to exist, the Capital of such Company is equal to the Company Purchase Limit (as reduced pursuant to Section 4.6(a)) of such Company or (ii) if there are no Related Financial Institutions with respect to such Company, the Capital of such Company shall be paid in full. The applicable ratable portion shall be calculated, with respect to any Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company, on the Termination Date of each Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company as a percentage equal to (i) the Capital of such Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company outstanding on its Termination Date, divided by (ii) the Aggregate Capital outstanding on such Termination Date (the “Termination Percentage”). Each Terminating Financial Institution’s and applicable Company’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 and each applicable Company’s Capital shall be reduced ratably with all Financial Institutions and Companies in accordance with Section 2.3.

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 “Nonrenewing Financial Institution”). If at the end of the Consent Period, there is no Nonrenewing 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as the SunTrust Company shall determine that its Company Costs shall be allocated as set forth in (v) hereinabove, the SunTrust Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, allocate Company Costs on a daily basis based upon its funding costs for overnight borrowings in the commercial paper market, as determined by the SunTrust Company Agent on a reasonable basis (such determination to be conclusive, absent manifest error). For each Settlement Period, the SunTrust Company shall calculate its aggregate Company Costs for such Settlement Period and report such Company Costs to the Administrative Seller pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Agreement.

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PERFORMANCE UNDERTAKING

This Third Amended and Restated Performance Undertaking (this “Undertaking”), dated as of March 30, 2004, is executed by ▇▇▇▇ Foods Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Provider”), in favor of Dairy Group Receivables, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with its successors and assigns, “DGRLP”), and Bank One, NA (Main Office Chicago), for itself and as Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (the “Agent” and, together with DGRLP, the “Recipients”).

RECITALS

1. Each of the Originators party thereto (such Originators are the “Originators” hereunder) and DGRLP have entered into an Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2001, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of May 15, 2002 and effective for all purposes as of March 31, 2002, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of November 20, 2003, and as further amended by Amendment No. 3 thereto, dated as of March 30, 2004 (as so amended, and as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which each Originator, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, is selling its right, title and interest in and to its accounts receivable to DGRLP.

2. DGRLP, Dairy Group Receivables II, L.P., Specialty Group Receivables, L.P. and ▇▇▇▇ National Brand Group, L.P., as Sellers, each of the Originators and certain other Subsidiaries of Provider, as Servicers, the “Companies” (as defined therein), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as “Financial Institutions” (as defined therein) and Bank One, NA (Main Office Chicago), as Agent, are parties to the Fourth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2004 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Sale Agreement, the “Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, DGRLP, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, is selling undivided percentage ownership interests to the Purchasers thereunder in the accounts receivable purchased from, among others, the Originators under the Sale Agreement.

3. Each Originator is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Provider and Provider is expected to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the sale of accounts receivable by such Originator pursuant to the Sale Agreement, and the performance by each Originator of its obligations as a Servicer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (which benefits are hereby acknowledged).

4. It is a condition precedent to the willingness of DGRLP to enter into the Sale Agreement and the willingness of the Agent and the Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement that Provider execute and deliver this Undertaking, agreeing to guaranty the due and punctual performance by each Originator of its Obligations (as hereinafter defined) as provided herein.

5. Provider acknowledges that DGRLP is entering into the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement, and the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon Provider’s guaranty of the due and punctual performance by each Originator of its Obligations as provided herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, Provider hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Sale Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable. In addition:

“Obligations” means, collectively, (a) all covenants, agreements, terms, conditions and indemnities to be performed and observed by each Originator under and pursuant to the Sale Agreement and each other document executed and delivered by such Originator pursuant to the Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the due and punctual payment of all sums which are or may become due and owing by such Originator under the Sale Agreement, whether for fees, expenses (including counsel fees), indemnified amounts or otherwise, whether upon any termination or for any other reason (including, without limitation, interest accruing following the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against any Originator, at the applicable rate specified in the Agreements, whether or not such interest is allowed or allowable as a claim in bankruptcy) and (b) all obligations of each Originator (i) as a Servicer under the Purchase Agreement or (ii) that arise pursuant to Sections 8.2 or 14.4(a) of the Purchase Agreement as a result of its termination as a Servicer.

Section 2. Guaranty of Performance of Obligations. Provider hereby guarantees to the Recipients the full and punctual payment and performance by each Originator of its Obligations. This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual performance of all of the Obligations of each Originator under the Agreements and each other document executed and delivered by any such Originator pursuant to the Agreements and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that any Recipient first attempt to collect any amounts owing by any Originator to such Recipient (including any Purchaser) from any other Person or resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Recipient (including any Purchaser) in favor of any Originator or any other Person or other means of obtaining payment. Should any Originator default in the payment or performance of any of its Obligations, after giving effect to any applicable grace period, each Recipient (or its respective assigns) may cause the immediate performance by Provider of such Originator’s Obligations and cause any payment Obligations of such Originator to become forthwith due and payable to any Recipient (or its respective assigns), without demand or notice of any nature (other than as expressly provided herein), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Undertaking is not a guarantee of the collection of any of the Receivables and Provider shall not be responsible for any Obligations to the extent the failure to perform such Obligations by such Originator results from Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; provided, that nothing herein shall relieve such Originator from performing in full its Obligations under the Agreements or Provider of its undertaking hereunder with respect to the full performance of such duties.

Section 3. Provider’s Further Agreements to Pay. Provider further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Recipients (and their respective assigns), forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to Recipients, all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and legal expenses) incurred or expended by Recipients (or any of them) in connection with the Obligations, this Undertaking and the enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking from the time when such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a 360 day year) equal to the Bank One Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, such rate of interest changing when and as the Bank One Prime Rate changes; provided, however, that in no event shall Provider be required to pay to any Recipient any interest on interest hereunder.

Section 4. Waivers by Provider. Provider waives notice of acceptance of this Undertaking, notice of any action taken or omitted by any Recipient (or its assigns) in reliance on this Undertaking, and any requirement that any Recipient (or its assigns) be diligent or prompt in making demands under this Undertaking, giving notice of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, other default or omission by any Originator or asserting any other rights of a Recipient under this Undertaking. Provider warrants that it has adequate means to obtain from such Originator, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial condition of such Originator, and that it is not relying on any Recipient to provide such information, now or in the future. Provider also irrevocably waives all defenses (i) that at any time may be available in respect of the Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) that arise under the law of suretyship, including impairment of collateral. Each Recipient (and its assigns) shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Provider and without relieving Provider of any liability under this Undertaking, to deal with such Originator and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations, in such manner as such Recipient in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end Provider agrees that the validity and enforceability of this Undertaking, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 8 hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, or default with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any payment Obligations of such Originator or any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking even though such Recipient (or its assigns) might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the payment Obligations of such Originator or to amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking; (g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which Provider may have at any time against such Originator in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer of the Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of such Originator to perform or comply with any term of the Agreements or any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder, all whether or not Provider shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 4.

Section 5. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Any Originator. Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of any Originator or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any Originator; (b) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Obligations; (c) the failure of any Originator or Provider to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Obligations or this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Obligations or this Undertaking; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from any Originator for any other reason other than final payment in full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Provider and shall constitute the primary obligation of Provider. This Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Originator or for any other reason with respect to any Originator, all such amounts then due and owing with respect to the Obligations under the terms of the Agreements, or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by Provider.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Provider hereby represents and warrants to each Recipient that:

(a) Existence and Standing. Provider is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Provider has and holds all power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except to the extent that the failure to so qualify or hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Authorization, Execution and Delivery; Binding Effect. Provider has the corporate power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Undertaking, perform its obligations hereunder and consummate the transactions herein contemplated. The execution and delivery by Provider of this Undertaking, the performance of its obligations and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and Provider has duly executed and delivered this Undertaking. This Undertaking constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Provider enforceable against Provider in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by 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).

(c) No Conflict; Government Consent. The execution and delivery by Provider of this Undertaking and the performance of its obligations hereunder do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or 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 assets of Provider. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution and delivery by Provider of this Undertaking and the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(d) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of Provider dated as of December 31, 2002 heretofore delivered to Recipients have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Provider and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for the period ended on such date. Since the later of (i) December 31, 2002, and (ii) the last time this representation was made or deemed made, no event has occurred that would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Taxes. Provider and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by Provider or any of its Subsidiaries, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. The United States income tax returns of Provider have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. No federal or state tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Provider and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

(f) Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of Provider’s knowledge threatened against or affecting Provider, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other body, that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of Provider and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of Provider to perform its obligations under this Undertaking, or (iii) the validity or enforceability of any of this Undertaking or the rights or remedies of any Recipient hereunder. Neither Provider nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body and does not have any material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6(d).

(g) Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished by or on behalf of Provider to Recipients (or their respective assigns) for purposes of or in connection with this Undertaking, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by Provider to Recipients (or their respective assigns) will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified and does not and will not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances made or presented.

(h) Not a Holding Company or an Investment Company. Provider 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.

Section 8. Subrogation; Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Obligations are paid in full, Provider: (a) will not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of any Recipient, the Agent or any Purchaser against any Originator, (b) hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity or otherwise) to the claims of each Recipient (including each Purchaser) against any Originator and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and “claims” (as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which Provider might now have or hereafter acquire against such Originator that arise from the existence or performance of Provider’s obligations hereunder, (c) will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against any Originator in respect of any liability of Provider to such Originator and (d) waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by any Recipient (including any Purchaser). The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Originator now or hereafter owed to Provider is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations. Provider agrees that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, Provider will not demand, ▇▇▇ for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any Originator to Provider until all of the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Provider shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by Provider as trustee for Recipients (and their respective assigns) and be paid over to Recipients (or their respective assigns) on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of Provider under the other provisions of this Undertaking. The provisions of this Section 8 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and remedies of any Recipient under any separate subordination agreement which such Recipient may at any time and from time to time enter into with Provider.

RECITALS

Each of the Originators party thereto (such Originators are the “Originators” hereunder) and DGRLP II have entered into that certain ▇▇▇▇ Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of May 15, 2002 and effective for all purposes as of March 31, 2002, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of November 20, 2003, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of the date hereof (as so amended, and as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which each Originator, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, is selling its right, title and interest in and to its accounts receivable to DGRLP II.

2. Dairy Group Receivables, L.P., DGRLP II, Specialty Group Receivables, L.P. and ▇▇▇▇ National Brand Group, L.P., as Sellers, each of the Originators and certain other Subsidiaries of Provider, as Servicers, the “Companies” (as defined therein), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as “Financial Institutions” (as defined therein) and Bank One, NA (Main Office Chicago), as Agent, are parties to the Fourth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2004 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Sale Agreement, the “Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, DGRLP II, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, is selling undivided percentage ownership interests to the Purchasers thereunder in the accounts receivable purchased from the Originators, among others, under the Sale Agreement.

5. Provider acknowledges that DGRLP II is entering into the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement, and the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon Provider’s guaranty of the due and punctual performance by each Originator of its Obligations as provided herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, Provider hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Sale Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable. In addition:

“Obligations” means, collectively, (a) all covenants, agreements, terms, conditions and indemnities to be performed and observed by each Originator under and pursuant to the Sale Agreement and each other document executed and delivered by such Originator pursuant to the Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the due and punctual payment of all sums which are or may become due and owing by such Originator under the Sale Agreement, whether for fees, expenses (including counsel fees), indemnified amounts or otherwise, whether upon any termination or for any other reason (including, without limitation, interest accruing following the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against any Originator, at the applicable rate specified in the Agreements, whether or not such interest is allowed or allowable as a claim in bankruptcy) and (b) all obligations of each Originator (i) as a Servicer under the Purchase Agreement or (ii) that arise pursuant to Sections 8.2 or 14.4(a) of the Purchase Agreement as a result of its termination as a Servicer.

Section 2. Guaranty of Performance of Obligations. Provider hereby guarantees to the Recipients the full and punctual payment and performance by each Originator of its Obligations. This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual performance of all of the Obligations of each Originator under the Agreements and each other document executed and delivered by any such Originator pursuant to the Agreements and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that any Recipient first attempt to collect any amounts owing by any Originator to such Recipient (including any Purchaser) from any other Person or resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Recipient (including any Purchaser) in favor of any Originator or any other Person or other means of obtaining payment. Should any Originator default in the payment or performance of any of its Obligations, after giving effect to any applicable grace period, each Recipient (or its respective assigns) may cause the immediate performance by Provider of such Originator’s Obligations and cause any payment Obligations of such Originator to become forthwith due and payable to any Recipient (or its respective assigns), without demand or notice of any nature (other than as expressly provided herein), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Undertaking is not a guarantee of the collection of any of the Receivables and Provider shall not be responsible for any Obligations to the extent the failure to perform such Obligations by such Originator results from Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; provided, that nothing herein shall relieve such Originator from performing in full its Obligations under the Agreements or Provider of its undertaking hereunder with respect to the full performance of such duties.

Section 3. Provider’s Further Agreements to Pay. Provider further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Recipients (and their respective assigns), forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to Recipients, all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and legal expenses) incurred or expended by Recipients (or any of them) in connection with the Obligations, this Undertaking and the enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking from the time when such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a 360 day year) equal to the Bank One Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, such rate of interest changing when and as the Bank One Prime Rate changes; provided, however, that in no event shall Provider be required to pay to any Recipient any interest on interest hereunder.

Section 4. Waivers by Provider. Provider waives notice of acceptance of this Undertaking, notice of any action taken or omitted by any Recipient (or its assigns) in reliance on this Undertaking, and any requirement that any Recipient (or its assigns) be diligent or prompt in making demands under this Undertaking, giving notice of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, other default or omission by any Originator or asserting any other rights of a Recipient under this Undertaking. Provider warrants that it has adequate means to obtain from such Originator, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial condition of such Originator, and that it is not relying on any Recipient to provide such information, now or in the future. Provider also irrevocably waives all defenses (i) that at any time may be available in respect of the Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) that arise under the law of suretyship, including impairment of collateral. Each Recipient (and its assigns) shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Provider and without relieving Provider of any liability under this Undertaking, to deal with such Originator and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations, in such manner as such Recipient in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end Provider agrees that the validity and enforceability of this Undertaking, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 8 hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, or default with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any payment Obligations of such Originator or any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking even though such Recipient (or its assigns) might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the payment Obligations of such Originator or to amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking; (g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which Provider may have at any time against such Originator in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer of the Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of such Originator to perform or comply with any term of the Agreements or any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder, all whether or not Provider shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 4.

Section 5. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Any Originator. Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of any Originator or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any Originator; (b) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Obligations; (c) the failure of any Originator or Provider to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Obligations or this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Obligations or this Undertaking; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from any Originator for any other reason other than final payment in full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Provider and shall constitute the primary obligation of Provider. This Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Originator or for any other reason with respect to any Originator, all such amounts then due and owing with respect to the Obligations under the terms of the Agreements, or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by Provider.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Provider hereby represents and warrants to each Recipient that:

(a) Existence and Standing. Provider is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Provider has and holds all power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except to the extent that the failure to so qualify or hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Taxes.

The United States income tax returns of Provider have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. No federal or state tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Provider and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

Section 8. Subrogation; Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Obligations are paid in full, Provider: (a) will not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of any Recipient, the Agent or any Purchaser against any Originator, (b) hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity or otherwise) to the claims of each Recipient (including each Purchaser) against any Originator and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and “claims” (as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which Provider might now have or hereafter acquire against such Originator that arise from the existence or performance of Provider’s obligations hereunder, (c) will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against any Originator in respect of any liability of Provider to such Originator and (d) waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by any Recipient (including any Purchaser).

Provider agrees that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, Provider will not demand, ▇▇▇ for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any Originator to Provider until all of the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Provider shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by Provider as trustee for Recipients (and their respective assigns) and be paid over to Recipients (or their respective assigns) on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of Provider under the other provisions of this Undertaking.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, Provider hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Sale Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable. In addition:

“Obligations” means, collectively, (a) all covenants, agreements, terms, conditions and indemnities to be performed and observed by each Originator under and pursuant to the Sale Agreement and each other document executed and delivered by such Originator pursuant to the Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the due and punctual payment of all sums which are or may become due and owing by such Originator under the Sale Agreement, whether for fees, expenses (including counsel fees), indemnified amounts or otherwise, whether upon any termination or for any other reason (including, without limitation, interest accruing following the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against any Originator, at the applicable rate specified in the Agreements, whether or not such interest is allowed or allowable as a claim in bankruptcy) and (b) all obligations of each Originator (i) as a Servicer under the Purchase Agreement or (ii) that arise pursuant to Sections 8.2 or 14.4(a) of the Purchase Agreement as a result of its termination as a Servicer.

Section 2. Guaranty of Performance of Obligations. Provider hereby guarantees to the Recipients the full and punctual payment and performance by each Originator of its Obligations. This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual performance of all of the Obligations of each Originator under the Agreements and each other document executed and delivered by any such Originator pursuant to the Agreements and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that any Recipient first attempt to collect any amounts owing by any Originator to such Recipient (including any Purchaser) from any other Person or resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Recipient (including any Purchaser) in favor of any Originator or any other Person or other means of obtaining payment. Should any Originator default in the payment or performance of any of its Obligations, after giving effect to any applicable grace period, each Recipient (or its respective assigns) may cause the immediate performance by Provider of such Originator’s Obligations and cause any payment Obligations of such Originator to become forthwith due and payable to any Recipient (or its respective assigns), without demand or notice of any nature (other than as expressly provided herein), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Undertaking is not a guarantee of the collection of any of the Receivables and Provider shall not be responsible for any Obligations to the extent the failure to perform such Obligations by such Originator results from Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; provided, that nothing herein shall relieve such Originator from performing in full its Obligations under the Agreements or Provider of its undertaking hereunder with respect to the full performance of such duties.

Section 3. Provider’s Further Agreements to Pay. Provider further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Recipients (and their respective assigns), forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to Recipients, all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and legal expenses) incurred or expended by Recipients (or any of them) in connection with the Obligations, this Undertaking and the enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking from the time when such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a 360 day year) equal to the Bank One Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, such rate of interest changing when and as the Bank One Prime Rate changes; provided, however, that in no event shall Provider be required to pay to any Recipient any interest on interest hereunder.

Section 4. Waivers by Provider. Provider waives notice of acceptance of this Undertaking, notice of any action taken or omitted by any Recipient (or its assigns) in reliance on this Undertaking, and any requirement that any Recipient (or its assigns) be diligent or prompt in making demands under this Undertaking, giving notice of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, other default or omission by any Originator or asserting any other rights of a Recipient under this Undertaking. Provider warrants that it has adequate means to obtain from such Originator, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial condition of such Originator, and that it is not relying on any Recipient to provide such information, now or in the future. Provider also irrevocably waives all defenses (i) that at any time may be available in respect of the Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) that arise under the law of suretyship, including impairment of collateral. Each Recipient (and its assigns) shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Provider and without relieving Provider of any liability under this Undertaking, to deal with such Originator and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations, in such manner as such Recipient in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end Provider agrees that the validity and enforceability of this Undertaking, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 8 hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, or default with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any payment Obligations of such Originator or any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking even though such Recipient (or its assigns) might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the payment Obligations of such Originator or to amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking; (g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which Provider may have at any time against such Originator in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer of the Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of such Originator to perform or comply with any term of the Agreements or any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder, all whether or not Provider shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 4.

Section 5. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Any Originator. Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of any Originator or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any Originator; (b) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Obligations; (c) the failure of any Originator or Provider to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Obligations or this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Obligations or this Undertaking; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from any Originator for any other reason other than final payment in full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Provider and shall constitute the primary obligation of Provider. This Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Originator or for any other reason with respect to any Originator, all such amounts then due and owing with respect to the Obligations under the terms of the Agreements, or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by Provider.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Provider hereby represents and warrants to each Recipient that:

(a) Existence and Standing. Provider is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Provider has and holds all power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except to the extent that the failure to so qualify or hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No Conflict; Government Consent. The execution and delivery by Provider of this Undertaking and the performance of its obligations hereunder do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or 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 assets of Provider.

Since the later of (i) December 31, 2002, and (ii) the last time this representation was made or deemed made, no event has occurred that would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Taxes. Provider and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by Provider or any of its Subsidiaries, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. The United States income tax returns of Provider have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. No federal or state tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Provider and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Obligations are paid in full, Provider: (a) will not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of any Recipient, the Agent or any Purchaser against any Originator, (b) hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity or otherwise) to the claims of each Recipient (including each Purchaser) against any Originator and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and “claims” (as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which Provider might now have or hereafter acquire against such Originator that arise from the existence or performance of Provider’s obligations hereunder, (c) will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against any Originator in respect of any liability of Provider to such Originator and (d) waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by any Recipient (including any Purchaser).

Provider agrees that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, Provider will not demand, ▇▇▇ for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any Originator to Provider until all of the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Provider shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by Provider as trustee for Recipients (and their respective assigns) and be paid over to Recipients (or their respective assigns) on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of Provider under the other provisions of this Undertaking. The provisions of this Section 8 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and remedies of any Recipient under any separate subordination agreement which such Recipient may at any time and from time to time enter into with Provider.

Provider’s obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations are finally paid and satisfied in full and the Purchase Agreement is terminated, provided, that this Undertaking shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of any Originator or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not any Recipient (or its respective assigns) is in possession of this Undertaking. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the federal bankruptcy code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Provider under this Undertaking.

Section 10. Effect of Bankruptcy. This Undertaking shall survive the insolvency of any Originator and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against any Originator under the federal bankruptcy code or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes. No automatic stay under the federal bankruptcy code with respect to any Originator or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes to which any Originator is subject shall postpone the obligations of Provider under this Undertaking.

Section 11. Setoff. Regardless of the other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations, each Recipient (and its respective assigns) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Provider (any such notice being expressly waived by Provider) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence of any Amortization Event or Termination Event, to set off and apply any deposits and other sums against the obligations of Provider under this Undertaking, whether or not such Recipient (or any such assign) shall have made any demand under this Undertaking and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured.

Section 15. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Undertaking nor consent to any departure by Provider therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Recipient.

Section 20. Miscellaneous. This Undertaking constitutes the entire agreement of Provider with respect to the matters set forth herein. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement, and this Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security for any of the Obligations. The provisions of this Undertaking are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of Provider hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of Provider’s liability under this Undertaking, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Undertaking to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by Provider or any Recipient, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding. Any provisions of this Undertaking which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
