EX-10.6

Reference is made to the separate Note Purchase Agreements, each dated as of May 28, 2009 (the “Note Purchase Agreements”), by and between Ralcorp Holdings, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the “Company”), and (i) each of the purchasers of the $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.45% Senior Notes, Series 2009A, due May 28, 2019 (the “Series 2009A Notes”) of the Company issued pursuant thereto; and (ii) each of the purchasers of the $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.60% Senior Notes, Series 2009B, due May 28, 2021 (the “Series 2009B Notes” and together with the Series 2009A Notes, the “Notes”) of the Company issued pursuant thereto. Capitalized terms used in this First Amendment and Consent (this “Amendment”) without definition shall have the meanings given such terms in the Note Purchase Agreements, as amended hereby.

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company requests your consent to certain transactions and the waiver of certain provisions of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreements as hereinafter provided.

Upon your acceptance hereof in the manner hereinafter provided and upon satisfaction of all conditions to the effectiveness hereof and receipt by the Company of similar acceptances from the Required Holders, this Amendment shall be effective, but only in the respects hereinafter set forth:

Section 1.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.1 of the Note Purchase Agreements, the Required Holders hereby consent to the entry by the Company or any Subsidiary into any transaction with an Affiliate that is contemplated by the Post Spin-Off Documents and waive compliance by the Company and its Subsidiaries with Section 10.1 of the Note Purchase Agreements in connection therewith, provided, that, any transaction that is contemplated by a Post Spin-Off Document (other than the Transition Services Agreement) shall be pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

Section 1.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.5 of the Note Purchase Agreements, the Required Holders hereby consent to the entry by Post and its Subsidiaries into one or more agreements pursuant to which Post and its Subsidiaries grant Liens on their properties and the Required Holders waive compliance by the Company and its Subsidiaries with Section 10.5 of the Note Purchase Agreements in connection therewith, provided, that, such Liens (i) do not become effective before the Distribution Date and (ii) shall secure only Debt of Post and its Subsidiaries incurred in connection with the Post Spin-Off.

Section 1.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.6 of the Note Purchase Agreements, the Required Holders hereby consent to the Post Contribution, the Debt for Debt Exchange, the Distribution, and the Retained Share Disposition and waive compliance by the Company and its Subsidiaries with Section 10.6 of the Note Purchase Agreements to the extent such provisions would otherwise be breached as a result of or in connection therewith, provided that (a) the Disposition Value of the Post Business does not exceed 50.0% of Consolidated Total Assets as of the Distribution Date, and (b) immediately before and immediately after the consummation of any such Transfer and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default would exist; and provided, further, that:

(i) the Net Proceeds Amount from the Distribution shall promptly be used to permanently retire all Debt that is pre-payable without penalty or any make-whole amount or other premium (including, without limitation, the Revolving Bank Facility and the Accounts Receivable Financing Program, although the lending commitments for these facilities are not required to be permanently reduced in connection with such prepayment), other than proceeds of approximately $235,000,000 which may be retained by the Company and used for general corporate purposes;

(ii) if the Net Proceeds Amount from the Retained Share Disposition is used to prepay Debt, then all such Debt must be pre-payable without penalty or any make-whole amount or other premium, unless the Notes are prepaid on a pro rata basis pursuant to the existing terms of the Note Purchase Agreements; and

(iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be permitted to make any Asset Disposition within the 365 days following the Distribution Date, unless the Net Proceeds Amount thereof is applied to a Debt Prepayment Application or a Property Reinvestment Application in accordance with the terms and conditions of the last paragraph in Section 10.6 of the Note Purchase Agreements.

Section 1.4. The Required Holders hereby agree that Post US shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee (without the need for the execution or delivery of any other document by the holders of the Notes or any other Person) on the Distribution Date, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such release and after immediately giving effect thereto, and (ii) substantially concurrent with the release of Post US from the Subsidiary Guarantee, it shall have been released from any Guaranty or direct liability with respect to any Debt of the Company.

Section 1.5. The Required Holders hereby agree that “Debt” as defined in Schedule B to the Note Purchase Agreements shall not include the Post Obligations when used in any Section of the Note Purchase Agreements other than Sections 2 and 5 thereof.

Section 2.1. Section 9.8 of the Note Purchase Agreements is hereby amended by deleting the reference therein to “4.00 to 1.00” and replacing it with “3.75 to 1.00”.

Section 2.2. A new Section 9.9 is hereby added to the Note Purchase Agreements as follows:

“Section 9.9. Below Investment Grade Rating and Additional Interest. (a) If the Company shall fail to have an Investment Grade Rating (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the case where the Ralcorp Public Notes (as defined hereinafter) are no longer rated or have been satisfied in full and are no longer outstanding) with respect to its 6.625% Senior Notes due August 15, 2039 (the “Ralcorp Public Notes”) from at least two of the Rating Agencies (such Investment Grade Rating condition being referred to as the “Public Notes Rating Condition”), then, except to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, in addition to all other interest accruing thereon, additional interest in the amount of 1.00% shall accrue on each series of Notes (including all outstanding 2009 Notes and Additional Notes), commencing on any date when the Public Notes Rating Condition is not satisfied and continuing until such date, if any, that the Public Notes Rating Condition is satisfied.

(b) In lieu of the Public Notes Rating Condition, the Company may, at its option, choose to have each series of Notes rated by a Rating Agency. In the event that the Notes are rated, if at any time any series of Notes do not have an Investment Grade Rating, then, in addition to all other interest accruing thereon, additional interest in the amount of 1.00% shall accrue on such series of Notes, commencing on any date when such series of Notes does not have an Investment Grade Rating and continuing until such date, if any, that such Notes again have an Investment Grade Rating. For purposes of the foregoing, if the Company shall have ratings on the Notes from more than one Rating Agency, then (x) in the case where there are two Rating Agencies, an Investment Grade Rating in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to have occurred only if both Rating Agencies shall have assigned an Investment Grade Rating to the Notes and (y) in the case where there are three Rating Agencies, an Investment Grade Rating in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to have occurred only if at least two of the Rating Agencies shall have assigned an Investment Grade Rating to the Notes. If at any time the Company maintains a rating on both the Ralcorp Public Notes and any series of Notes, the rating on the series of Notes shall control for purposes of this Section 9.9.

(c) The Company shall promptly notify the holders, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence thereof, of the existence of any event in this Section 9.9 that gives rise to the Company’s obligation to make payment of the additional 1.00% interest on the Notes (it being acknowledged that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make payment of such additional interest).

(d) Solely for purposes of determining the Remaining Scheduled Payments included in the calculation of any Make-Whole Amount due for any series of Notes, the interest rate for such series of Notes shall be deemed to be the stated interest rate on the face of that series of Notes and shall not include the additional interest in the amount of 1.00% contemplated by this Section 9.9.”

Section 2.3. A new Section 9.10 is hereby added to the Note Purchase Agreements as follows:

“Section 9.10. Separation and Distribution Agreement. On or prior to the Distribution Date, all conditions precedent set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall have been satisfied, unless (i) the Company waives or amends any conditions which do not adversely affect the holders of Notes or (ii) the Required Holders consent to any waiver or amendment of such conditions.”

Section 2.4. A new Section 9.11 is hereby added to the Note Purchase Agreements as follows:

“Section 9.11. Officer’s Certificate. In connection with the consummation of the Post-Spin Off transaction, the Company shall deliver to the holders of the Notes an Officer’s Certificate certifying that no Default or Event of Default is then in existence or will occur after giving pro forma effect to the Post-Spin Off (showing reasonably detailed calculations of the financial covenants in Sections 10.3 and 10.4).”

Section 2.5. Section 10.3 of the Note Purchase Agreements is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“Section 10.3. Minimum Consolidated Adjusted Net Worth . (a) Prior to the Distribution Date, the Company will not, at any time, permit Consolidated Adjusted Net Worth to be less than the remainder of (i) $1,750,000,000 minus (ii) the Vail Adjustment.”

(b) On and after the Distribution Date, the Company will not, at any time, permit Consolidated Adjusted Net Worth to be less than the amount equal to Consolidated Adjusted Net Worth determined as of the time and after giving effect to the Distribution (and also after giving pro forma effect as of such time to the other Related Transactions) multiplied by 80%.”

Section 2.6. Section 10.4 of the Note Purchase Agreements is hereby amended by deleting paragraph (a) thereof and substituting the following in its place:

“(a) Leverage Ratio. As of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, the Company will not permit the Leverage Ratio to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00, provided, that for any period of not more than four successive fiscal

quarters, the Leverage Ratio may be greater than 3.50 to 1.00, but in no event greater than 3.75 to 1.00, if the Company timely pays the additional interest required pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.8 (each such period where the Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.50 to 1.00, a “High Leverage Period”), provided, further, that the Leverage Ratio shall in no event be greater than 3.50 to 1.00 for the two successive fiscal quarters immediately following a High Leverage Period.”

Section 2.7. Section 10.5 of the Note Purchase Agreements is hereby amended as follows:

(a) Paragraph (c) of Section 10.5 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(c) Liens existing on the date of this Agreement and securing the Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary referred to in Schedule 5.15;”

(b) Paragraph (j) of Section 10.5 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(j) Liens securing the Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Pledge Agreement so long as the Notes are equally and ratably secured (on a basis no less favorable than that provided to the Company’s other outstanding Debt, being secured pursuant to equal and ratable provisions) with any and all other obligations secured by the Pledge Agreement; provided if the Ralcorp Exchange Debt is secured by the Pledge Agreement, the Ralcorp Exchange Debt shall mature no later than 90 days after the incurrence thereof (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such 90 day period may not be extended by any renewal, refinancing, replacement or substitution of the Ralcorp Exchange Debt); and”

“(k) Any Lien (other than a Lien permitted under paragraph (a) through paragraph (j) above) securing any Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary, which Debt is permitted hereunder (including under Section 10.4); provided that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not secure their obligations under or with respect to the Bank Agreement pursuant to this paragraph (k) unless the Notes and this Agreement are concurrently equally and ratably secured pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.”

Section 2.8. A new Section 22.8 is hereby added to the Note Purchase Agreements as follows:

“Section 22.8. Accounting Terms. All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively

given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.

For purposes of determining compliance with the covenants contained in this Agreement, any election by the Company to measure an item of Indebtedness using fair value (as permitted by Accounting Standard Codification Topic No. 825-10-25 – Fair Value Option or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.”

Section 2.9. The definitions of “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Bank Agreement”, “Priority Debt” and “Net Income” appearing in Schedule B to the Note Purchase Agreements are hereby amended and restated as follows:

“Adjusted EBITDA” means, for any applicable computation period, the sum of (a) EBIT for such period plus (b) the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ amortization and depreciation deducted in determining Net Income for such period, provided however, that (i) Adjusted EBITDA shall include any Purchase and exclude any Asset Disposition during the computation period on a pro forma basis for the entire computation period (provided, however, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Post Business prior to the Distribution Date during the relevant computation period shall be included in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA for the first two (2) full fiscal quarters immediately following the Distribution Date in such computation period and shall be excluded in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA for all fiscal quarters thereafter), and (ii) in the event that the Company sells or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of the capital stock of Vail Resorts, Inc. during such period, then Adjusted EBITDA shall be calculated by subtracting (adding) all equity earnings (losses) attributable to such divested interest for such period.
