H. Section 4.16 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale unless (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets included in such Asset Sale (evidenced by the delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Asset Sale complies with this clause (i)), (ii) immediately after giving effect to such Asset Sale, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (iii) at least 80% of the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary therefor is in the form of cash paid at the closing thereof. The amount (without duplication) of any (x) Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and with respect to which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness, (y) any Cash Equivalents, or other notes, securities or items of property received from such transferee that are promptly (but in any event within 15 days) converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received) and (z) Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary represented by the Dean Foods Note that is expressly assumed or forgiven by the transferee in such asset sale and with respect to which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of clause (iii) of the preceding sentence and, in the case of clause (x) above, shall also be deemed to constitute a repayment of, and a permanent reduction in, the amount of such Indebtedness for purposes of the following paragraph (b) and in the case of clause (z) above shall not be required to be applied in accordance with the following paragraph (b). If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.16. A transfer of assets by the Company to a Restricted Subsidiary or by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to a Restricted Subsidiary will not be deemed to be an Asset Sale, and a transfer of assets that is excluded from the definition of "Restricted Payment" or that constitutes a Restricted Investment and that is permitted under Section 4.05 will not be deemed to be an Asset Sale. I. Section 5.01 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: (a) The Company will not, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, (i) consolidate or merge with or into (other than a merger with a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary solely for the purpose of changing the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation to another State of the United States; provided that clauses (a) and (d) below are complied with), or sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of or assign all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to do so if such transaction would result in the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), or assign any of its obligations under 12 the Notes and this Indenture, to any Person or (ii) adopt a Plan of Liquidation unless, in either case: (a) the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition or assignment shall be made (or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, any Person to which assets are transferred) (collectively, the "Successor"), is a corporation or a cooperative corporation organized and existing under the laws of any State of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, and the Successor assumes by supplemental indenture in a form satisfactory to the Trustee all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture; (b) immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption of the obligations as set forth in clause (a) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (c) immediately after and giving effect to such transaction and the assumption of the obligations set forth in clause (a) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, and the use of any net proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the Company or the Successor, as the case may be, could meet the Coverage Ratio Incurrence Condition; and (d) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, shall have by amendment to its Note Guarantee confirmed that its Note Guarantee shall apply to the obligations of the Company or the Successor under the Notes and this Indenture. For purposes of this Section 5.01, any Indebtedness of the Successor which was not Indebtedness of the Company immediately prior to the transaction shall be deemed to have been incurred in connection with such transaction. (b) No Guarantor (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor whose Note Guarantee is to be released in accordance with Section 11.08) may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person or entity whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless: (i) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee under the notes and this Indenture; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (iii) immediately after giving effect to any such transaction involving a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Coverage Ratio Incurrence Condition would be met. J. Section 6.01 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: (a) Each of the following constitutes an event of default (an "Event of Default"): (i) failure by the Company to pay interest or Additional Interest on any of the Notes when it becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for 30 days (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10); (ii) failure by the Company to pay the principal or premium, if any, on any of the Notes when it becomes due and payable, whether at stated maturity, upon redemption (including, without limitation, the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds Offer), upon acceleration or otherwise (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10); 13 (iii) failure by the Company to comply with any of its agreements or covenants described above under Article 5 or in respect of its obligations to make a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer described in Sections 4.15 and 4.16, respectively; (iv) failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with any other covenant in this Indenture and continuance of such failure for 60 days after notice of such failure has been given to the Company by the Trustee or by the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; (v) failure by either the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to make any principal payment at final maturity after the expiration of any applicable grace period in respect of any Indebtedness of the Company or any of such Restricted Subsidiaries, or the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, with an aggregate outstanding principal amount for all such Indebtedness under this clause (v) of $7.5 million or more; (vi) one or more final, non-appealable judgments or orders that exceed $7.5 million in the aggregate for the payment of money have been entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and such judgment or judgments have not been satisfied, stayed, annulled or rescinded within 60 days of being entered; (vii) if under any Bankruptcy Law, (A) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary commences a voluntary case, consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (B) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree, and such order or decree remains unstated and in effect for 60 days, that is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case, appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or orders the liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; and (viii) except as permitted by Section 11.08 any Note Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect or any Note Guarantee is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or is found to be invalid or any Guarantor repudiates its obligations under any Note Guarantee. (b) Any notice of default delivered to the Company by the Trustee or by Holders of Notes with a copy to the Trustee must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a "Notice Of Default".
