NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Interim results for Chiquita Brands International, Inc. (“CBII”) and subsidiaries (collectively, with CBII, “Chiquita” or the “company”) are subject to significant seasonal variations typical to the industry and are not indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods shown have been made.

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The December 31, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 – Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) are calculated as follows:

	Quarter Ended Sept. 30,						Nine Months Ended Sept. 30,
(In thousands, except per share amounts)	2011			2010			2011		2010
Income (loss) from continuing operations	$	(28,826	)	$	(8,448	)	$	73,151	$	80,275
Loss from discontinued operations		0			0			0		(3,268	)
Net income (loss)	$	(28,826	)	$	(8,448	)	$	73,151	$	77,007
Weighted average common shares outstanding (used to calculate basic EPS)		45,637			45,050			45,463		44,924
Dilutive effect of warrants, stock options and other stock awards		0			0			796		918
Shares used to calculate diluted EPS		45,637			45,050			46,259		45,842
Earnings (loss) per common share – basic:
Continuing operations	$	(0.63	)	$	(0.19	)	$	1.61	$	1.78
Discontinued operations		0.00			0.00			0.00		(0.07	)
	$	(0.63	)	$	(0.19	)	$	1.61	$	1.71
Earnings (loss) per common share – diluted:
Continuing operations	$	(0.63	)	$	(0.19	)	$	1.58	$	1.75
Discontinued operations		0.00			0.00			0.00		(0.07	)
	$	(0.63	)	$	(0.19	)	$	1.58	$	1.68

If the company had generated net income for the third quarters of 2011 or 2010, 46.3 million shares and 45.6 million shares would have been used to calculate diluted EPS in those quarters, respectively. The assumed conversions to common stock of stock options, other stock awards and 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2016 (“Convertible Notes”) are excluded from the diluted EPS computations for periods in which these items, on an individual basis, have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted EPS. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes would have been anti-dilutive because the average trading price of the common shares was below the initial conversion price of $22.45 per share. Additionally, shares were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation related to restricted stock, stock options and long term incentive plans because they were anti-dilutive. These excluded shares were 1.9 million for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and 1.2 million and 1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Seasonal advances may be made to certain qualified growers of other produce, which are normally collected as the other produce is harvested and sold. The company generally requires asset liens and pledges of the season’s produce as collateral to support these advances. If sales of the season’s produce do not result in full repayment of the advance, the company may exercise the collateral provisions or renegotiate the terms, including terms of interest, to collect the remaining balance. The company also carries payables to growers related to revenue collected from the sale of the other produce that is subsequently remitted to the grower, less outstanding grower advances and a margin retained by the company based upon the terms of the contract. Grower payables of $11 million, $21 million and $14 million at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively, are included in “Accounts payable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Of the total gross balance of grower advances, $34 million (including $32 million classified as long-term), $50 million (including $20 million classified as long-term) and $41 million (including $10 million classified as long-term) relates to a Chilean grower of grapes and other produce as of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. In the second quarter of 2011, the company recorded a reserve of $32 million for advances made to this Chilean grower based upon additional information received during the quarter on the grower’s credit quality, lower than expected collections through the 2010-2011 Chilean grape season and a decision

7

to change the company’s grape sourcing model. In the third quarter of 2011, the Chilean grower was declared bankrupt; the company continues to aggressively negotiate recovery with the bankruptcy trustee and other creditors of the grower.

The company provided seller financing in the 2009 sale of the former joint venture that sourced bananas and pineapples from the Philippines for sale in the Middle East and Asia. The financing for the sale of this joint venture is a note receivable in equal installments through 2019. The company also provided seller financing in the 2004 sale of its former Colombian subsidiary in the form of a note receivable in equal installments through 2012. The terms of the seller financing were based on the earnings power of the businesses sold. Payments are current on both seller financing notes receivable.

The company includes finance receivables in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets net of the reserve, with current portions included in “Other receivables, net” and long-term portions included in “Investments and other assets, net.” Reserves are established when the company determines it is probable that the counterparty will not repay the finance receivable timely based on the company’s knowledge of the counterparty’s financial condition and the company’s historical loss experience. Reserves are measured for each individual finance receivable using quantitative and qualitative factors, including consideration of the value of any collateral securing the seller financing or grower advance. Interest receivable on an overdue or renegotiated finance receivable is placed into nonaccrual status when collectibility becomes uncertain. Collectibility is assessed at the end of each reporting period and write-offs are recorded only when collection efforts have been abandoned. Recoveries of other receivables previously reserved are credited to income.

¹  The fair value of the parent company debt is based on observable inputs, which include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market and market-corroborated inputs (Level 2). See also Note 6 for discussion of fair value.

²  The Term Loan may be traded on the secondary loan market, and the fair value of the Term Loan is based on either the last available trading price, if recent, or trading prices of comparable debt (Level 3). Level 3 fair value measurements are used in the impairment reviews of goodwill and intangible assets, which take place annually during the fourth quarter, or as circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment.See also Note 6 for discussion of fair value.

CREDIT FACILITY

In July 2011, Chiquita Brands L.L.C. (“CBL”), the company’s main operating subsidiary, entered into an amended and restated senior secured credit facility (“Credit Facility”) using the proceeds to retire CBL’s Preceding Credit Facility (defined below) and purchase $133 million of the CBII’s 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes due in 2015 in a tender offer at 103.333% of their par value. The company called the remaining $44 million of the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes for redemption in August 2011 at 102.958% of their par value, using the remainder of the proceeds from the Credit Facility together with available cash to redeem them. Expenses of $11 million in the third quarter of 2011 are included in “Other income (expense), net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and “Loss on debt extinguishment, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow and are related to the refinancing activity. The expenses included the write-off of $4 million of remaining deferred financing fees from the Preceding Credit Facility and the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes and $6 million total premiums paid to retire the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes. The amounts in “Other income (expense), net” for the third quarter of 2010 relate to the company’s repurchase of a portion of the Senior Notes more fully described below.

The Credit Facility includes a $330 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan”) and a $150 million senior secured revolving facility (“Revolver”) both maturing July 26, 2016. However, the Credit Facility will mature on May 1, 2014, which is six months prior to the maturity of the company’s 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes, unless the company refinances, or otherwise extends, the maturity of the 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes by such date. The Term Loan and the Revolver can be increased by up to an aggregate of $50 million at the company’s request, under certain circumstances.

The Term Loan bears interest, at the company’s election, at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.00% to 3.75% or a “Base Rate” plus 2.00% to 2.75%, the spread in each case depending on CBII’s leverage ratio. The “Base Rate” is the higher of the administrative agent’s prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. The initial interest rate as defined in the Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 3.00% through December 2, 2011 (3.25% based on September 30, 2011 LIBOR). Subject to the early maturity provision described above, the Term Loan requires quarterly principal

9

repayments of $4 million beginning September 30, 2011 through June 30, 2013 and quarterly principal repayments of $8 million beginning September 30, 2013 through March 31, 2016, with any remaining principal balance due at June 30, 2016 subject to the early maturity clause described above. The Term Loan may be repaid without penalty, but amounts repaid under the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

The Revolver bears interest, at the company’s election, at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.75% to 3.50% or a “Base Rate” plus 1.75% to 2.50%, the spread in each case depending on CBII’s leverage ratio. The applicable interest rate as defined in the Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 2.75% or “Base Rate” plus 1.75% through December 2, 2011. The company is required to pay a commitment fee on the daily unused portion of the Revolver of 0.375% to 0.50% depending on CBII’s leverage ratio, initially 0.375% as defined in the Credit Facility through December 2, 2011. The Revolver has a $100 million sublimit for letters of credit, subject to a $50 million sublimit for non-U.S. currency letters of credit. At September 30, 2011, there were no borrowings under the Revolver other than having used $23 million to support letters of credit leaving an available balance of $127 million.

The Credit Facility contains two financial maintenance covenants, a CBL (operating company) leverage ratio (debt divided by EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Facility) that is no higher than 3.50x and a fixed charge ratio (the sum of CBL’s EBITDA plus Net Rent divided by Fixed Charges, each as defined in the Credit Facility) that is at least 1.15x, which are substantially the same as the Preceding Credit Facility. The Credit Facility’s financial covenants exclude changes in generally accepted accounting principles effective after December 31, 2010. EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility, excludes certain non-cash items including stock compensation and impairments. Fixed Charges, as defined in the Credit Facility, includes interest payments and distributions by CBL to CBII other than for normal overhead expenses, net rent and net lease expense. Net rent and net lease expense, as defined in the Credit Facility, exclude the estimated portion of ship charter costs that represents normal vessel operating expenses. Debt for purposes of the leverage covenant includes subsidiary debt plus letters of credit outstanding and synthetic leases ($62 million at September 30, 2011), which are operating leases under generally accepted accounting principles, but are capital leases for tax purposes. At September 30, 2011, the company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Facility.

CBL’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by CBII and all of CBL’s material domestic subsidiaries. The obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of CBL and its domestic subsidiaries, including trademarks, 100% of the stock of substantially all of CBL’s domestic subsidiaries and no more than 65% of the stock of CBL’s direct material foreign subsidiaries. CBII’s obligations under its guarantee are secured by a pledge of the stock of CBL. The Credit Facility also places similar customary limitations as the Preceding Credit Facility on the ability of CBL and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, create liens, dispose of assets and make investments and capital expenditures, as well as limitations on CBL’s ability to make loans, distributions or other transfers to CBII. However, payments to CBII are permitted: (i) whether or not any event of default exists or is continuing under the Credit Facility, for all routine operating expenses in connection with the company’s normal operations and to fund certain liabilities of CBII, including interest and principal payments on the Senior Notes (defined below), Convertible Notes and any notes used to refinance existing Senior Notes and Convertible Notes, and (ii), subject to no continuing event of default and compliance with the financial covenants, for other financial needs, including (A) payment of dividends and distributions to the company’s shareholders and (B) repurchases of the company’s common stock. The Credit Facility also eased certain restrictions that were contained in the Preceding Credit Facility over the company’s ability to carry out mergers and acquisitions. Based on the company’s September 30, 2011 covenant ratios, distributions to CBII, other than for normal overhead expenses and interest on the company’s Senior Notes and Convertible Notes, were limited to approximately $60 million. The Credit Facility also requires that the net proceeds of significant asset sales be used within 180 days to prepay outstanding amounts, unless those proceeds are reinvested in the company’s business.

7 ¹/2% AND 8 ⁷/8% SENIOR NOTES

As described above, the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes were retired in the third quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the company repurchased in the open market at a small discount $13 million principal amount of its senior notes, consisting of $11 million of the 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes and $2 million of the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes. These 2010 repurchases resulted in a small extinguishment loss, including the write off of deferred financing fees and transaction costs. The 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes are callable, in whole or from time to time in part at 102.50% of par value, at 101.25% of par value beginning November 1, 2011 and at par value after November 1, 2012.

4.25% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

The company’s $200 million of Convertible Notes:

• are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the parent company and rank equally with the company’s 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”).

• are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 44.5524 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $22.45 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment based on certain dilutive events, including stock splits, stock dividends and other distributions (including cash dividends) in respect of the common stock. Holders of the Convertible Notes may tender their notes for conversion between May 15 and August 14, 2016, without limitation. Prior to May 15, 2016, holders of the Convertible Notes may tender the notes for conversion only under certain circumstances, in accordance with their terms.

• may be settled, upon conversion, in shares, in cash or in any combination thereof at the company’s option; the company’s current intent and policy is to settle with a cash amount equal to the principal portion together with shares of the company’s common stock to the extent that the obligation exceeds such principal portion.

• are callable for redemption beginning February 19, 2014, under certain circumstances relating to the company’s common stock trading price.

• are accounted for in two components: (i) a debt component included in “Long-term debt of parent company” recorded at the issuance date, representing the estimated fair value of a similar debt instrument without the debt for equity conversion feature; and (ii) an equity component included in “Capital surplus” representing the issuance date estimated fair value of the conversion feature. This separation results in the debt being carried at a discount, which is accreted to the principal amount of the debt component using the effective interest rate method over the expected life of the Convertible Notes (through the maturity date).

To estimate the fair value of the debt component, the company discounted the principal balance to result in an effective interest rate of 12.50% for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The fair value of the equity component was estimated as the difference between the full principal amount and the estimated fair value of the debt component, net of an allocation of issuance costs and income tax effects. These were Level 3 fair value measurements (described in Note 6) and will be reconsidered in the event that any of the Convertible Notes are converted.

The carrying amounts of the debt and equity components of the Convertible Notes are as follows:

	September 30,			December 31,			September 30,
(In thousands)	2011			2010			2010
Principal amount of debt component1	$	200,000		$	200,000		$	200,000
Unamortized discount		(58,883	)		(65,239	)		(67,232	)

Equity component, net of issuance costs and income taxes	$	81,694		$	81,694		$	81,694

¹  As of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the Convertible Notes’ “if-converted” value did not exceed their principal amount because the company’s common stock price was below the conversion price of the Convertible Notes.

PRECEDING CREDIT FACILITY

The Credit Facility replaced the remaining portion of the previous $350 million senior secured credit facility (“Preceding Credit Facility”) that consisted of a senior secured term loan (the “Preceding Term Loan”) and a $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Preceding Revolver”).

At the company’s election, the interest rate for the Preceding Term Loan was based on LIBOR plus a spread based on CBII’s leverage ratio and was 4.06% and 4.06% at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The Preceding Term Loan required quarterly principal repayments of $2.5 million through March 31, 2010 and required $5 million thereafter for the life of the loan, with any remaining balance to be paid upon maturity at March 31, 2014.

There were no borrowings under the Preceding Revolver other than using $22 million to support letters of credit leaving an available balance of $128 million at each of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010. The company was required to pay a fee of 0.50% per annum on the daily unused portion of the Preceding Revolver. The Preceding Revolver contained a $100 million sub-limit for letters of credit, subject to a $50 million sub-limit for non-U.S. currency letters of credit.

Note 5 – Hedging

Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gains or losses is deferred as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” and reclassified into net income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects net income. Gains and losses on derivatives representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in net income currently. See further information regarding fair value measurements and balances of derivatives in Note 6.

To manage its exposure to exchange rates on the conversion of euro-based revenue into U.S. dollars, the company uses average rate euro put options, and in short-term periods also uses average rate euro call options and average rate euro forward contracts. Average rate euro put options require an upfront premium payment and can reduce the risk of a decline in the value of the euro without limiting the benefit of an increase in the value of the euro. Average rate euro call options reduce the company’s net option premium expense, but limit the benefit from an increase in the value of the euro. Average rate forward contracts lock in the value of the euro and do not require an upfront premium. At September 30, 2011, the amount of unrealized net gains on the company’s currency hedging portfolio which would be reclassified to net income, if realized, in the next twelve months, is $5 million; these net gains were deferred in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).”

Most of the company’s foreign operations use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. As a result, balance sheet translation adjustments due to currency fluctuations are recognized currently in “Cost of sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. To minimize the resulting volatility, the company also enters into 30-day euro forward contracts each month to economically hedge the net monetary assets exposed to euro exchange rates. These 30-day euro forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments, and gains and losses on these forward contracts are recognized currently in “Cost of sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In the third quarter of 2011, the company recognized $9 million of gains on 30-day euro forward contracts, and $13 million of losses from fluctuations in the value of the net monetary assets exposed to euro exchange rates. In the

12

third quarter of 2010, the company recognized $14 million of losses on 30-day euro forward contracts, and $19 million of income from fluctuations in the value of the net monetary assets exposed to euro exchange rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the company recognized $1 million of loss on 30-day euro forward contracts, and $1 million of losses from fluctuations in the value of the net monetary assets exposed to euro exchange rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the company recognized $6 million of gains on 30-day euro forward contracts, and $8 million of expense from fluctuations in the value of the net monetary assets exposed to euro exchange rates.

The company also enters into bunker fuel forward contracts for its shipping operations, which permit it to lock in fuel purchase prices for up to three years and thereby minimize the volatility that changes in fuel prices could have on its operating results. These bunker fuel forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. In the third quarter 2011, the company implemented a new shipping configuration, the first change of such magnitude in several years. These changes are expected to reduce the company’s total bunker fuel consumption and change the ports where bunker fuel will be purchased. As a result of these changes, accounting standards required the company to recognize $12 million of unrealized gains on bunker fuel forward contracts in “Cost of sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the third quarter of 2011 originally intended to hedge bunker fuel purchases in future periods. These unrealized gains, previously deferred in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” were recognized because the forecasted hedged bunker fuel purchases, as documented by the company, became probable not to occur. Cash flow hedging relationships of many of the affected bunker fuel forward contracts were reapplied to other bunker fuel purchases, however, accounting standards require these to be based on the market prices at the date the new hedging relationships were established, even though there is no change in the hedging instrument (see “Hedged Average Rate/Price” column in the table below). Bunker fuel forward contracts that were in excess of our expected core fuel demand were sold and gains of $2 million were realized. At September 30, 2011, unrealized net gains of $9 million on the company’s bunker fuel forward contracts were deferred in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss),” including net gains of $11 million which would be reclassified to net income, if realized, in the next twelve months.

At September 30, 2011 the company’s portfolio of derivatives consisted of the following:

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price to hypothetically sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly manner in the principal market for that asset or liability. Accounting standards prioritize the use of observable inputs in measuring fair value. The level of a fair value measurement is determined entirely by the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement. The three levels are (from highest to lowest):

Level 1 –	observable prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 –	observable inputs other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, which include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market and market-corroborated inputs; and
Level 3 –	unobservable inputs.

¹ Currency hedge portfolio and bunker fuel forward contracts are designated as hedging instruments. 30-day euro forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. To the extent derivatives in an asset position and derivatives in a liability position are with the same counterparty, they are netted in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because the company enters into master netting arrangements with each of its hedging partners. See also Note 5.

The company values fuel hedging positions by applying an observable discount rate to the current forward prices of identical hedge positions. The company values currency hedging positions by utilizing observable or market-corroborated inputs such as exchange rates, volatility and forward yield curves. The company trades only with counterparties that meet certain liquidity and creditworthiness standards, and does not anticipate non-performance by any of these counterparties. The company does not require collateral from its counterparties, nor is it obligated to provide collateral when contracts are in a liability position. However, consideration of non-performance risk is required when valuing derivative instruments, and the company includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the recognized measure of derivative instruments to reflect the full credit default spread (“CDS”) applied to a net exposure by counterparty. When there is a net asset position, the company uses the counterparty’s CDS; when there is a net liability position, the company uses its own estimated CDS. CDS is generally not a significant input in measuring fair value. The company’s adjustment for non-performance risk was

16

not significant for any of its derivative instruments in any period presented. See further discussion and tabular disclosure of hedging activity in Note 5.

Fair value measurements of benefit plan assets included in net benefit plan liabilities are based on quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1) or quoted prices in inactive markets (Level 2). The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value. Level 3 fair value measurements are used in the impairment reviews of goodwill and intangible assets, which take place annually during the fourth quarter, or as circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment.

Financial instruments not carried at fair value consist of the company’s parent company debt and subsidiary debt. See further fair value discussion and tabular disclosure in Note 4.

Note 7 – Pension and Severance Benefits

Net pension expense from the company’s defined benefit and severance plans is primarily comprised of severance plans covering Central American employees and consists of the following:

Note 8 – Income Taxes

As a result of sustained improvements in the performance of the company’s North American businesses and the benefits of debt reduction over the last several years, the company has been generating annual U.S. taxable income beginning with tax year 2009, and expects this trend to continue, even if seasonal losses may be incurred in interim periods. As of June 30, 2011, the company’s forecast included second quarter results as well as increased visibility to North American banana pricing and stabilized sourcing costs. As a result of these considerations, the company recognized an $87 million income tax benefit in the second quarter of 2011 for the reversal of valuation allowances against 100% of the U.S. federal deferred tax assets and a portion of the state deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”), which are more likely than not to be realized in the future.

The company regularly reviews all deferred tax assets to estimate whether these assets are more likely than not to be realized based on all available evidence. Unless deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying value of the deferred tax asset until such time that realization becomes more likely than not. Increases and decreases in these valuation allowances are included in “Income tax benefit (expense)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Through the second quarter of 2011, valuation allowances on available U.S. NOLs significantly affected the company’s effective tax rate; if a deferred tax asset with a full valuation allowance, such as an NOL, was realized, the corresponding valuation allowance was also released, resulting in no net effect to income taxes reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As a result of the U.S. valuation allowance release in the second quarter of 2011, the company expects an increase of future reported income tax expense, but no increase in cash paid for taxes for at least several years until the NOLs are fully utilized.

As a result of reversing the valuation allowance against U.S. federal deferred tax assets, as described above, the company changed from the discrete method to the effective tax rate method for interim tax reporting. Under the effective tax rate method, the company is required to adjust its effective tax rate for each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Jurisdictions with a projected loss where no tax benefit can be

17

recognized are excluded from the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate. This could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate in the interim period based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. The company’s overall effective tax rate may also vary significantly from period to period due to the level and mix of income among domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Many of these foreign jurisdictions have tax rates that are lower than the U.S. statutory rate, and the company continues to maintain full valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in some of these foreign jurisdictions. Other items that do not otherwise affect the company’s earnings can also affect the overall effective tax rate, such as the effect of changing exchange rates on intercompany balances that can change the mix of income among domestic and foreign jurisdictions. No U.S. taxes have been accrued on foreign earnings because such earnings have been or are expected to be permanently invested in foreign operations.

The company nets deferred tax assets and liabilities by jurisdiction. The company had $26 million, $5 million and $0 of net current deferred tax assets in “Other current assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The company had $3 million, $4 million, and $0 of net non-current deferred tax assets at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The company had $51 million, $116 million and $105 million of net non-current deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate income tax determination is uncertain. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the uncertain tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is “more likely than not” that a tax position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, will be sustained upon examination based on its technical merits. If the recognition criterion is met, the second step is to measure the income tax benefit to be realized. Tax positions or portions of tax positions that do not meet these criteria are de-recognized by recording reserves. The company establishes reserves for income tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes, penalties and interest could be due. Provisions for and changes to these reserves, as well as the related net interest and penalties, are included in “Income tax benefit (expense)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Significant judgment is required in evaluating tax positions and determining the company’s provision for income taxes. At September 30, 2011, the company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $9 million, of which $7 million, if recognized, will reduce income tax expense and affect the company’s effective tax rate. Interest and penalties included in income taxes was less than $1 million for both of the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and less than $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The cumulative interest and penalties included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2011 was $4 million.

In addition to the U.S. valuation allowance release as described above, “Income tax benefit (expense)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income includes $6 million in expense in the second quarter of 2011 related to the settlement of an Italian income tax audit compared to $4 million in benefits in the third quarter of 2010 related to governmental rulings in various jurisdictions. See Note 13 under Italian Customs and Tax Cases for recent tax contingency developments related to the Italian income tax settlement. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits impacting the effective tax rate could be recognized as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitation in the amount of $3 million plus accrued interest and penalties.

Note 9 – Advertising and Promotion Expense

Advertising and certain promotion expenses are included in “Selling, general and administrative” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and were $15 million and $16 million for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $45 million and $47 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Advertising and promotion expense included less than $1 million for the quarter and $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, related to the European smoothie business, which was deconsolidated in May 2010 as further discussed in Note 14.

Television advertising costs related to production are expensed the first time an ad airs in each market and the cost of advertising time is expensed over the advertising period. Other types of advertising and promotion costs are expensed over the advertising or promotion period. The company also offers sales incentives and certain promotions to its customers and consumers primarily in the Salads and Healthy Snacks segment. Consideration

18

given to customers and consumers for sales incentives is recorded as a reduction of “Net sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation

Stock compensation expense relates primarily to the company’s performance-based long-term incentive program (“LTIP”) and time-vested restricted stock unit awards. LTIP awards cover three-year performance cycles and are measured partly on performance criteria (cumulative earnings per share or cumulative free cash flow generation) and partly on market criteria (total shareholder return relative to a peer group of companies). In September 2010, the LTIP was modified to allow a portion of the awards to be paid in cash in an amount substantially equal to the estimated tax liability triggered by such awards. LTIP awards outstanding at September 2010 were modified, which changed them to liability-classified awards from equity-classified awards. Both liability-classified and equity-classified awards recognize the fair value of the award ratably over the performance period; however, equity-classified awards only measure the fair value at the grant date, whereas liability-classified awards measure the fair value at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value of the award cumulatively adjusted through expense each period. For modified awards, expense is recognized at the greater of the equity-method or the liability-method.

Changes in Capital surplus are primarily a result of stock compensation:

¹  In addition to this stock-based compensation expense, less than $1 million and $1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the liability-method LTIP plan in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, that did not affect Capital Surplus. There were no liability-method plans in 2010.

Fair value of LTIP awards measured on performance criteria are based on the company’s expectations of performance achievement and the closing stock price on the measurement date, a Level 3 fair value measurement. Fair value of LTIP awards based on market criteria are measured using a Monte-Carlo simulation using publicly available data, a Level 2 fair value measurement. See Note 6 for further discussion of fair value measurements.

2 Other Produce segment includes a reserve of $32 million in the second quarter of 2011 for advances made to a Chilean grower as described in Note 2.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

The company had an accrual of $4 million related to contingencies and legal proceedings in Europe at each of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010. The company also had accruals, including accrued interest, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of $7 million at each of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 related to the plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice described below and an accrual of $4 million at September 30, 2010 related to the settlement agreement for the Colombia related shareholder derivative lawsuits described below, a portion of which was recovered through insurance. While other contingent liabilities described below may be material, the company has determined that losses in these matters are not probable and has not accrued any other amounts. Regardless of their outcomes, the company has paid, and will likely continue to incur, significant legal and other fees to defend itself in these proceedings, which may significantly affect the company’s financial statements.

EUROPEAN COMPETITION LAW INVESTIGATION

As previously disclosed, in 2005, the company voluntarily notified the European Commission (“EC”) that it had become aware of potential violations by the company and other industry participants under European competition laws; the company promptly stopped the conduct. The EC subsequently opened two separate investigations with which the company cooperated. In October 2008, the EC (i) confirmed the company’s immunity from any fines, and (ii) announced its final decision that, between 2000 and 2002, Chiquita and other competitors had infringed EU competition rules in northern Europe. In October 2011, the EC (i) confirmed the company’s immunity from any fines and (ii) announced its final decision that between July 2004 and April 2005 Chiquita and a competitor had infringed EU competition rules in southern Europe. In both cases, the confirmation of the company’s final immunity was based on the company’s voluntary notification to the EC, cessation of the conduct and its continued cooperation in the investigations. These are final decisions and no further proceedings or appeals are available or anticipated with regard to the company.

The company does not believe that the reporting of these matters or the cessation of the conduct has had or should in the future have any material adverse effect on the regulatory or competitive environment in which it operates.

COLOMBIA-RELATED MATTERS

DOJ Settlement. As previously disclosed, in September 2007, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia approved the company’s March 2007 plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) relating to payments made by the company’s former Colombian subsidiary to a Colombian paramilitary group designated under U.S. law as a foreign terrorist organization. The company had previously voluntarily disclosed these payments to the DOJ as having been made by its Colombian subsidiary to protect its employees from risks to their safety if the payments were not made. Under the terms of the plea agreement, the company pled guilty to one count of Engaging in Transactions with a Specially-Designated Global Terrorist Group without having first obtained a license from the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. The company agreed to pay a fine of $25 million, payable in five equal annual installments with interest. Pursuant to customary provisions in the plea agreement, the Court placed the company on corporate probation for five years, during which time the company and its subsidiaries must not violate the law and must implement and/or maintain certain business processes and compliance programs; violation of these requirements could result in setting aside the principal terms of the plea agreement, including the amount of the fine imposed. The company recorded a charge of $25 million in 2006 and paid the final installment of the fine, including accrued interest in the amount of $2 million, in September 2011.

Tort Lawsuits. Between June 2007 and March 2011, nine lawsuits were filed against the company by Colombian nationals in U.S. federal courts. These lawsuits assert civil tort claims under various laws, including the Alien Tort Statute (“ATS”), 28 U.S.C. § 1350, the Torture Victim Protection Act (“TVPA”), 28 U.S.C. § 1350 note, and state laws (hereinafter “ATS lawsuits”). The plaintiffs, either individually or as members of a putative class, claim to be persons injured, or family members or legal heirs of individuals allegedly killed or injured, by armed groups that received payments from the company’s former Colombian subsidiary. The plaintiffs claim that, as a result of such payments, the company should be held legally responsible for the alleged injuries. All of these ATS lawsuits have been centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (“MDL Proceeding”).

At present, claims are asserted on behalf of over 4,000 alleged victims in these nine ATS lawsuits. Plaintiffs’ counsel have indicated that they may add claims for additional alleged victims to the litigation. The company also has received formal requests to participate in mediation in Colombia concerning similar claims, which could be followed by litigation in Colombia. Eight of the ATS lawsuits seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs, and one of them also seeks treble damages and disgorgement of profits, although it does not explain the basis for those demands. The other ATS lawsuit contains a specific demand of $10 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages for each of the several hundred alleged victims in that suit. The company believes the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and is defending itself vigorously.

In addition to the ATS lawsuits, between March 2008 and March 2011, four tort lawsuits were filed against the company by American citizens who allege that they were kidnapped and held hostage by an armed group in Colombia, or that they are the survivors or the estate of a survivor of American nationals kidnapped and/or killed by the same group in Colombia. The plaintiffs in these cases assert civil claims under the Antiterrorism Act (“ATA”), 18 U.S.C. § 2331, et seq., and state tort laws (hereinafter “ATA lawsuits”). These ATA lawsuits have also been

21

centralized in the MDL Proceeding before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Similar to the ATS lawsuits described above, the ATA plaintiffs contend that the company should be held liable because its former Colombian subsidiary allegedly provided material support to the armed group. These ATA lawsuits seek unspecified compensatory damages, treble damages, attorneys’ fees and costs and punitive damages. The company believes the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and is defending itself vigorously.

The company has filed motions to dismiss the nine ATS lawsuits pending in the MDL Proceeding. In June 2011, the company’s motion to dismiss the first seven ATS lawsuits was granted in part and denied in part. While the court allowed plaintiffs to move forward with their TVPA claims and some ATS claims, it dismissed various claims asserted under the ATS, state law, and Colombian law. The company believes it has strong defenses to the remaining claims in these cases. Motions to dismiss (i) the remaining two ATS cases not subject to the court’s June 2011 order and (ii) amended ATS claims premised on guerrilla violence that the court had dismissed without prejudice are currently pending.

Plaintiffs have filed a motion for reconsideration asking the court to reinstate all non-federal claims dismissed in the June 2011 order. Chiquita has filed a motion seeking certification of the June 2011 order for interlocutory appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Both motions are pending.

The company has also filed motions to dismiss the ATA actions pending in the MDL Proceeding. In February 2010, the company’s motion to dismiss one of the ATA lawsuits was granted in part and denied in part. The company believes it has strong defenses to the remaining claims in that case. There has been no decision on the company’s pending motions to dismiss the other ATA lawsuits.

Insurance Recovery. The company maintains general liability insurance policies that should provide coverage for the types of costs involved in defending the tort lawsuits described above. However, the company’s primary general liability insurers whose policies are relevant to the underlying tort lawsuits have disputed their obligations to provide coverage.

In September 2008, the company filed suit in the Common Pleas Court of Hamilton County, Ohio against three of its primary general liability insurers seeking (i) a declaratory judgment with respect to the insurers’ obligation to reimburse the company for defense costs that it had incurred (and is continuing to incur) in connection with the defense of the tort claims described above; and (ii) an award of damages for the insurers’ breach of their contractual obligation to reimburse the company for defense costs to defend itself in these matters. A fourth primary insurer, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA (“National Union”), was later added to this case. In August 2009, the company reached a settlement agreement with one of the primary insurers under which this insurer has paid and will continue to pay a portion of defense costs for each of the underlying tort lawsuits.

In September 2009, the Court ruled that Chiquita’s primary insurers that did not settle have a duty to defend the tort lawsuits that include allegations that bodily injury or property damage occurred during the period of their policies as a result of negligence. The Court also ruled that the dispute about the number of occurrences that are involved in the underlying tort cases should be resolved by a trial.

In February 2010, Chiquita reached a settlement agreement with two of the remaining three primary insurers involved in the coverage suit, under which they have paid and will continue to pay a portion of defense costs for each of the underlying tort lawsuits. National Union, the one remaining primary insurer involved in the coverage suit which has not settled with Chiquita, has also paid a portion of defense costs for each of the underlying lawsuits except one of the ATA lawsuits, which does not allege any bodily injury or property damage during the period that National Union issued primary policies to Chiquita. National Union has reserved the right to attempt to obtain reimbursement of these payments from Chiquita. A fifth primary insurer that is not a party to the coverage suits is insolvent.

In October 2010, after a trial, the Court ruled that the defense costs incurred by Chiquita in connection with the underlying tort lawsuits and that were the subject of trial—with certain limited exceptions related to media-related activity—were reasonable and that National Union was obligated to reimburse Chiquita for all defense costs not already paid by other insurers. Pursuant to the Court’s order, National Union reimbursed Chiquita for almost all of the defense costs not already paid by other insurers, but continues to reserve its rights to seek reimbursement from Chiquita in the form of loss-sensitive premium, the amount of which is based in part on the number of occurrences.

22

National Union also sought contribution from other primary insurers with whom Chiquita entered partial settlements. The number of occurrences was the subject of the second phase of the trial involving National Union, which was held in November 2010. In April 2011, the Court ruled that the underlying tort lawsuits arise out of a single occurrence, and that National Union has no legal right to contribution from the insurers who entered partial settlements with Chiquita.

The June 2011 decision of the judge presiding over the underlying tort lawsuits prompted additional motions practice in the insurance coverage lawsuit, with National Union taking the position that the dismissal of various claims asserted under state law and Colombian law, including negligence claims, terminated its defense obligation and Chiquita taking the position that the dismissal of such claims had no effect on its right to defense coverage. The Court held a hearing on these motions in September 2011; a decision is pending. After the Court rules, it is expected that the Court will enter a final appealable order that incorporates all of its substantive rulings in the case. Through September 30, 2011, the company has received $8 million as expense reimbursement from National Union, which is being deferred in “Other liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until the appeal process is complete.

With the exception of the defense costs that, as described above, three of Chiquita’s primary insurers have agreed to pay pursuant to partial settlement agreements, there can be no assurance that any claims under the applicable policies will result in insurance recoveries.

Colombia Investigation. The Colombian Attorney General’s Office is conducting an investigation into payments made by companies in the banana and other industries to paramilitary groups in Colombia. Included within the scope of the investigation are the payments that were the subject of the company’s March 2007 plea agreement with the DOJ, described above. The company believes that it has at all times complied with Colombian law.

ITALIAN CUSTOMS AND TAX CASES

1998-2000 Cases. In October 2004, the company’s Italian subsidiary, Chiquita Italia, received the first of several notices from various customs authorities in Italy stating that it is potentially liable for additional duties and taxes on the import of bananas by Socoba S.r.l. (“Socoba”) from 1998 to 2000 for sale to Chiquita Italia. The customs authorities claim that (i) the amounts are due because these bananas were imported with licenses (purportedly issued by Spain) that were subsequently determined to have been forged and (ii) Chiquita Italia should be jointly liable with Socoba because (a) Socoba was controlled by a former general manager of Chiquita Italia and (b) the import transactions benefited Chiquita Italia, which arranged for Socoba to purchase the bananas from another Chiquita subsidiary and, after customs clearance, sell them to Chiquita Italia. Chiquita Italia is contesting these claims, principally on the basis of its good faith belief at the time the import licenses were obtained and used that they were valid.

Of the original notices, civil customs proceedings in an aggregate amount of €14 million ($19 million) plus interest were ultimately brought and are now pending against Chiquita Italia in four Italian jurisdictions, Genoa, Trento, Aosta and Alessandria (for €7 million, €5 million, €2 million, and €0.4 million, respectively, plus interest). The Aosta case is still at the trial level; in the Trento case, Chiquita Italia lost at the trial level and the decision has been appealed; in the Genoa case, Chiquita Italia won at the trial level, lost on appeal, and appealed to the Court of Cassation, the highest level of appeal in Italy, where the case is pending; and in the Alessandria case, Chiquita Italia lost at the trial level, but the case was stayed pending a ruling in a separate case in Rome. This Rome case was brought by Socoba (and Chiquita Italia intervened voluntarily) on the issue of whether the forged Spanish licenses used by Socoba should be regarded as genuine in view of the apparent inability to distinguish between genuine and forged licenses. In an October 2010 decision, the Rome trial court rejected Socoba’s claim that the licenses should be considered genuine on the basis that Socoba had not sufficiently demonstrated how similar the forged licenses were to genuine Spanish licenses. Socoba has appealed this decision.

In an unrelated case addressing similar forged Spanish licenses used in Belgium, the EU Commission has ruled that these types of licenses were such good forgeries that they needed to be treated as genuine, and Chiquita Italia has brought this decision to the attention of the customs authorities in Genoa and Alessandria to seek relief in relation to the pending customs case. The Genoa customs authorities declined to give the benefit of the decision to Chiquita Italia but Chiquita Italia intends to appeal this decision to the tax court.

23

In Italy, each level of appeal involves a review of the facts and law applicable to the case and the appellate court can render a decision that disregards or substantially modifies the lower court’s opinion.

Under Italian law, the amounts claimed in the Trento, Alessandria and Genoa cases have become due and payable notwithstanding the pending appeals. In March 2009, Chiquita Italia began to pay the amounts due in the Trento and Alessandria cases, €7 million ($10 million), including interest, in 36 monthly installments. In the Genoa case, Chiquita Italia began making monthly installment payments in March 2010 under a similar arrangement for the amount due of €13 million ($18 million), including interest. Following a suspension for several months, this payment obligation has now been reinstated for the underlying duties €7 million ($10 million) but no interest. If Chiquita Italia ultimately prevails in its appeals, all amounts paid will be reimbursed with interest.

2004-2005 Cases. In 2008, Chiquita Italia was required to provide documents and information to the Italian fiscal police in connection with a criminal investigation into imports of bananas by Chiquita Italia during 2004 through 2005, and the payment of customs duties on these imports. The focus of the investigation was on an importation process whereby Chiquita sold some of its bananas to holders of import licenses who imported the bananas and resold them to Chiquita Italia (indirect import challenge), a practice the company believes was legitimate under both Italian and EU law and was widely accepted by authorities across the EU and by the EC. The Italian prosecutors are pursuing this matter. If criminal liability is ultimately determined, Chiquita Italia could be civilly liable for damages, including applicable duties, taxes and penalties.

Both tax and customs authorities have issued assessment notices for the years 2004 and 2005 for this matter. The assessed balances for taxes are €6 million ($9 million) for 2004 and €5 million ($7 million) for 2005 plus, in each case, interest and penalties. Chiquita Italia appealed these assessments to the first level Rome tax court and, in June 2011, the court rejected Chiquita Italia’s appeal for 2004. Chiquita Italia is in the process of appealing this decision. The assessed balances for customs for 2004 and 2005 total €18 million ($24 million) plus interest. Chiquita Italia also appealed these assessments to the first level Rome tax court, which rejected the appeal in June 2011. Chiquita Italia is in the process of appealing this decision. Under Italian law, each level of appeal involves a review of the facts and law applicable to the case and the appellate court can render a decision that disregards or substantially modifies the lower court’s opinion. In each case Chiquita Italia has received or will receive payment notifications from the tax and customs authorities. Chiquita Italia will seek to have payment suspended, or, in the alternative, seek to be allowed to make payment by installments.

The fiscal police investigation also challenged the involvement of a Chiquita entity incorporated in Bermuda in the sale of bananas directly to Chiquita Italia (direct import challenge), as a result of which the tax authorities claimed additional taxes of €13 million ($18 million) for 2004 and €19 million ($26 million) for 2005, plus interest and penalties. In order to avoid a long and costly tax dispute, in April 2011, Chiquita Italia reached an agreement in principle with the Italian tax authorities to settle the dispute. Under the settlement, the tax authorities agreed that the Bermuda corporation’s involvement in the importation of bananas was appropriate and Chiquita Italia agreed to an adjustment to the intercompany price paid by Chiquita Italia for the imported bananas it purchased from this company, resulting in a higher income tax liability for those years. The settlement amounts paid in August 2011 for additional income tax for 2004 and 2005, including accrued interest and penalties, were less than €1 million (less than $1 million) and €2 million ($3 million), respectively, significantly below the amounts originally claimed. The settlement is subject to approval by the Rome Tax Court. The 2004 settlement was approved in June 2011 and the 2005 settlement is expected to be approved before the end of 2011. As part of the settlement, Chiquita Italia also agreed to a pricing adjustment for its intercompany purchases of bananas for the years 2006 through 2009. As a result, in June 2011 Chiquita Italia paid €1 million ($2 million) of additional tax and interest to the Italian tax authorities in full settlement of years 2007 through 2009. In July 2011 Chiquita Italia paid a further less than €1 million (less than $1 million), in full settlement of 2006. The indirect import challenge described above is not part of the settlement.

Chiquita Italia continues to believe that it acted properly and that all the transactions for which it has received assessment notices were legitimate and reported appropriately, and, aside from those issues already settled, continues to vigorously defend the transactions at issue.

CONSUMPTION TAX REFUND

In March 2008, the company received a favorable decision from a court in Rome, Italy for the refund of certain consumption taxes paid between 1980 and 1990. The Italian Finance Administration did not appeal the decision

24

prior to May 2009, when their right to appeal expired. In the second quarter of 2010, payment was received, and the company recognized other income of €3 million. The company has a number of other similar claims pending in different Italian jurisdictions and any gains that may occur will be recognized as the related gain contingencies are resolved. The March 2008 Rome ruling has no binding effect on pending claims in other jurisdictions, which may take years to resolve.

Note 14 – Deconsolidation, Divestitures and Discontinued Operations

DANONE CHIQUITA FRUITS JOINT VENTURE

In May 2010, the company sold 51% of its European smoothie business to Danone S.A., for €15 million ($18 million) and deconsolidated it. The deconsolidation and sale resulted in the creation of Danone Chiquita Fruits SAS (“Danone JV”), which is a joint venture intended to develop, manufacture, and sell packaged fruit juices and fruit smoothies in Europe and is financed by Chiquita and Danone in amounts proportional to their ownership interests. The gain on the deconsolidation and sale of the European smoothie business was $32 million, which includes a gain of $15 million related to the remeasurement of the retained investment in European smoothie business to its fair value of $16 million on the closing date. No income tax expense resulted from the gain on the sale because sufficient foreign NOLs were in place and, when those foreign NOLs were used, the related valuation allowance was released. The fair value of the investment was a Level 3 measurement (see Note 6) based upon the consideration paid by Danone for 51% of the Danone JV, including a control discount. The company’s 49% investment in the joint venture is accounted for as an equity method investment and is included in the Salads and Healthy Snacks segment. Future company contributions to the Danone JV are limited to an aggregate €14 million ($19 million) through 2013 without unanimous consent of the owners. The company contributed €3 million ($5 million) during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and a total of €4 million ($5 million) during 2010. The company’s carrying value of the Danone JV was $18 million as of September 30, 2011.

The Danone JV is a variable interest entity; however, the company is not the primary beneficiary, and does not consolidate it. The Danone JV will obtain sales, local marketing, and product supply chain management services from the company’s subsidiaries; however, the power to direct the JV’s most significant activities is controlled by Danone S.A.

SALE OF EQUITY INVESTMENT

In April 2010, the company sold its 49% investment in Coast Citrus Distributors, Inc. for $18 million in cash, which approximated its carrying value. Prior to the sale, the company accounted for this investment using the equity method.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In August 2008, the company sold its subsidiary, Atlanta AG, and the 2010 loss of $3 million from discontinued operations was related to new information about indemnification obligations for tax liabilities. In addition, approximately €6 million ($7 million) was received in February 2010 related to consideration from the sale which had been held in escrow to secure any potential obligations of the company under the sale agreement.

Note 15 – Severance

In June 2011, the company realigned its value-added salads overhead cost structure and embedded its global innovation and marketing functions into its business units to better focus on speed, execution and scalability, and to deliver future operating cost savings, particularly in the Salads and Healthy Snacks segment. These actions resulted in $1 million and $3 million of severance costs during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, which were recorded in “Cost of sales” and “Selling, general and administrative” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 16 – New Accounting Standards

New accounting standards that could significantly affect the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are summarized as follows:

Issued	Description	Effective Date for Chiquita	Effect on Chiquita’s Consolidated Financial Statements
September 2011	Will require additional disclosures about participation in multiemployer pension plans.	Prospectively, for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011.	Will expand disclosure.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Overall, our results declined for both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010, primarily driven by weaker value-added salads business results that offset improved performance in bananas. Banana business results were improved in both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010. Our banana business continues to perform well, particularly in North America, where both pricing and volume were higher, and a force majeure surcharge in place for most of the first half helped us to recover significantly higher sourcing costs that began in late 2010 and continued throughout the first half. While the banana business as a whole is seasonal, this is most pronounced in Europe where weekly local currency pricing is significantly affected by variations of supply and demand in the market, with prices typically weaker in the third and fourth quarters than in the first half. In the third quarter, local European pricing was lower, but this was offset by higher average exchange rates, resulting in flat pricing on a U.S. dollar basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, pricing was higher in both local currency and on a U.S. dollar basis as the first quarter customer demand improved from unusually weak conditions in the first quarter of 2010.

In the salad business, we expected year-over-year comparisons to be negative as a result of customers converting value-added salad volume to private label in the first nine months of 2010. However, our costs in the value-added salads business have been higher than expected, particularly with respect to industry input cost inflation, process customization associated with Fresh Rinse and product quality-related costs. We expect certain of these costs to be temporary and be lower in the fourth quarter of 2011 and in 2012. In June 2011, we also initiated a program to realign our value-added salads overhead structure and to integrate our global innovation and marketing functions into the business units, which will reduce operating costs and improve speed, execution and scalability of our product development activities. The full benefit of this realignment was not yet reflected in the business results, but we expect to save approximately $15 million of cost annually.

There are also several other key items that affect year-over-year comparisons:

• Other Produce results included a $32 million reserve in the second quarter of 2011 for advances to a Chilean grower. As previously disclosed, advances to this grower in current and past growing seasons were not fully repaid and a reserve was determined to be necessary based on additional information received during the second quarter on the grower’s credit quality, lower than expected collections through the end of the 2010-2011 Chilean grape season, and a decision in the second quarter of 2011 to change the company’s grape sourcing model. In the third quarter of 2011, the Chilean grower was declared bankrupt; the company continues to negotiate recovery with the bankruptcy trustee and other creditors of the grower.

• Income taxes included a benefit of $87 million in the second quarter of 2011 from the release of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. The release resulted from sustained improvements in our North American businesses and the benefits of debt reduction over the last several years that allowed us to consistently generate U.S. taxable income and made it more likely than not that we will be able to use our net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. The release of the valuation allowance will result in a higher effective tax rate, but cash paid for taxes will not change significantly until the NOLs are fully utilized.

• In July 2011, we completed a refinancing of a portion of our capital structure by entering into an amended and restated senior secured credit facility (“Credit Facility”) which includes a $330 million senior secured term loan and a $150 million senior secured revolving facility using the proceeds to retire $155 million outstanding under the previous credit facility and purchase or call the remainder of the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes. The Credit Facility matures on either (a) July 26, 2016 or (b) May 1, 2014, which is six months prior to the maturity of the 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes due 2014 unless we refinance, or otherwise extend the maturity of, the 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes by such date. In total, these refinancing efforts resulted in an aggregate $11 million of “Other expense” in the third quarter but are expected to result in interest cost savings of approximately $11 million annually. We intend to monitor the capital markets for additional refinancing opportunities (including with respect to our 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes), with the goal of further reducing interest expense, extending debt maturities and improving liquidity.

27

• The nine months ended September 30, 2010 included a $32 million gain on the deconsolidation of the European smoothie business.

Our results are subject to significant seasonal variations and interim results are not indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year. Our results during the third and fourth quarters are generally weaker than in the first half of the year due to increased availability of competing fruits and resulting lower banana prices, as well as seasonally lower consumption of salads in the fourth quarter. For a further description of our challenges and risks, see the Overview section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and discussion below.

Operations

NET SALES

Net sales for the third quarter of 2011 were $723 million, down 1% from the third quarter of 2010. The decrease was the result of lower retail value-added salad volume and the discontinuation of non-strategic, low-margin other produce lines in the fourth quarter of 2010, which were partially offset by higher banana pricing in North America and higher banana volume in core markets. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $2.4 billion, down 1% from the year-ago period. The decrease was also the result of lower North American retail value-added salad volume and the discontinuation of non-strategic, low-margin other produce lines in the fourth quarter of 2010, which were partially offset by higher banana pricing and volume in North America and higher banana pricing in Europe.

OPERATING INCOME

In the third quarter of 2011, we incurred an operating loss of $10 million compared to operating income of $6 million in the third quarter of 2010. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $46 million and $121 million, respectively. The decline in operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 reflects weaker Salads and Healthy Snacks results (mainly in retail value-added salads) offset partially by better Banana results. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Salads and Healthy Snacks (mainly retail value-added salads) performance was also weaker, while Banana results were significantly improved. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes a $32 million reserve against advances provided to a Chilean grower, whereas, the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes a $32 million gain on the deconsolidation of the European smoothie business as described in the Overview above and in Notes 2 and 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively.

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

We report three business segments: Bananas; Salads and Healthy Snacks; and Other Produce. Segment descriptions and results can be found in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to the reportable segments and are included in “Corporate.” Inter-segment transactions are eliminated.

BANANA SEGMENT

Net sales for the segment were $453 million and $431 million for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1.5 billion for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. In North America, both pricing and volume were higher, including force majeure surcharges in place from late January until the end of the second quarter to recover significantly higher sourcing costs that began in late 2010. In Europe, banana prices are generally set weekly in local currencies and are significantly affected by variations in supply and demand in the market, and prices are typically weaker in the third and fourth quarters than in the first half. In the first half of 2011 customer demand improved compared to the unusually weak conditions in the first quarter of 2010. In the third quarter of 2011, local pricing was lower than in the third quarter of 2010, but as a result of stronger average exchange rates, European pricing was similar on a dollar basis. Even as industry supply increased late in the second quarter, we reduced our shipments to the Mediterranean markets due to unfavorable pricing conditions, which continued into the third quarter. Industry banana supplies are currently ample compared to severe shortages in the fourth quarter of 2010, which should allow us to supply customer contracts at a lower cost than in the fourth quarter of 2010, assuming that there are no weather-related or other events affecting industry supply.

28

The significant increases (decreases) in our Banana segment operating income for the quarter (“Q3”) and nine months (“YTD”) ended September 30, presented in millions, are as follows:

Q3			YTD
$	3		$	71		2010 Banana segment operating income
	(16	)		67		Pricing
	8			11		Volume
	5			15		Average European exchange rates1

	(2	)		(6	)	Selling, general and administrative costs
	(2	)		(3	)	Other
$	7		$	122		2011 Banana segment operating income

¹  Average European exchange rates include the effect of hedging, which was an expense of less than $1 million and an expense of $4 million for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and an expense of $3 million and a benefit of $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further description of our hedging program.

²  Sourcing costs include increased costs of purchased fruit. Logistics costs are significantly affected by fuel prices, but include the effect of fuel hedges, which was a benefit of $14 million and an expense of $4 million for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a benefit of $31 million and an expense of $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In the third quarter 2011, we implemented a new shipping configuration that will reduce our total bunker fuel consumption and the ports where the fuel will be purchased. As a result of these changes, accounting standards required us to recognize $12 million of unrealized fuel hedging gains in the third quarter for hedge positions originally intended to hedge fuel purchases in future periods. Additionally, bunker fuel forward contracts that were in excess of our expected core fuel demand were sold and gains of $2 million were realized. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further description of our hedging program.

³  See EU Banana Import Regulation below for discussion of tariff costs.

⁴  Increases in European marketing investments are offset by decreases in North American marketing investments.

The percentage changes in our banana prices in 2011 compared to 2010 were as follows:

	Q3			YTD
North America1		2.7	%		7.4	%
Core Europe:2
U.S. dollar basis3		(0.5	)%		7.9	%
Local currency		(10.0	)%		1.0	%
Mediterranean4 and Middle East		(9.4	)%		7.5	%

Our banana sales volumes⁵ (in 40-pound box equivalents) were as follows:

(In millions, except percentages)	Q3 2011		Q3 2010		% Change			YTD 2011		YTD 2010		% Change
North America		16.2		15.1		7.3	%		48.8		46.5		4.9	%
Europe and the Middle East:
Core Europe2		9.4		9.0		4.4	%		30.4		30.5		(0.3	)%
Mediterranean4 and Middle East		3.8		4.2		(9.5	)%		10.3		14.0		(26.4	)%

¹  North America pricing includes fuel-related and other surcharges.

²  Core Europe includes the 27 member states of the European Union, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. Bananas sales in Core Europe are primarily in euros.

³  Prices on a U.S. dollar basis exclude the effect of hedging.

⁴  Mediterranean markets are mainly European and Mediterranean countries that do not belong to the European Union.

⁵  Volume sold includes all banana varieties, such as Chiquita to Go, Chiquita minis, organic bananas and plantains.

29

Banana segment inventory at September 30, 2011 was higher than at December 31, 2010 or September 30, 2010 primarily due to timing of shipping schedules that resulted in more inventory in transit and higher cost of bunker fuel in inventory.

We have entered into hedging instruments (derivatives) to reduce the negative cash flow and earnings effect that any significant decline in the value of the euro would have on the conversion of euro-based revenue into U.S. dollars. Put options, which require an upfront premium payment, can reduce this risk without limiting the benefit of a stronger euro. To minimize the volatility that changes in fuel prices could have on the operating results of our core shipping operations, we also enter into hedge contracts to lock in prices of future bunker fuel purchases. Further discussion of hedging risks and instruments can be found under the caption “Market Risk Management—Financial Instruments” below, and Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The average spot and hedged euro exchange rates were as follows:

(Dollars per euro)	Q3 2011		Q3 2010		% Change			YTD 2011		YTD 2010		% Change
Euro average exchange rate, spot	$	1.42	$	1.28		10.9	%	$	1.40	$	1.31		6.9	%
Euro average exchange rate, hedged	$	1.41	$	1.24		13.7	%	$	1.39	$	1.33		4.5	%

EU Banana Import Regulation

From 2006 through the second quarter of 2010, bananas imported into the European Union (“EU”) from Latin America, our primary source of fruit, were subject to a tariff of €176 per metric ton, while bananas imported from African, Caribbean, and Pacific sources have been and continue to be allowed to enter the EU tariff-free (since January 2008, in unlimited quantities). Following several successful legal challenges to this arrangement in the World Trade Organization (“WTO”), the EU and 11 Latin American countries initialed the WTO “Geneva Agreement on Trade in Bananas” (“GATB”) in December 2009, under which the EU agreed to reduce tariffs on Latin American bananas in stages, starting with a new rate of €148 per metric ton in 2010, reducing to €143 per metric ton in 2011, further reducing to €136 per metric ton in 2012, and, following further cuts, ending with a rate of €114 per metric ton by 2019. The GATB still needs to be formalized in the WTO. The EU also signed a WTO agreement with the United States, under which it agreed not to reinstate WTO-illegal tariff quotas or licenses on banana imports. The initial €28 per metric ton reduction in the tariff lowered our tariff costs by $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In another regulatory development, in March 2011, the EU initialed free trade area (“FTA”) agreements with (i) Colombia and Peru and (ii) the Central American countries. Under both FTA agreements, the EU committed to reduce its banana tariff to €75 per metric ton over ten years for specified volumes of banana exports from each of the countries covered by these FTAs. The agreements are not expected to be approved and ratified before late 2012, at the earliest. Because the approval procedures remain unsettled, it is unclear when, or whether, these FTAs will be implemented. If they are implemented, despite the decrease in tariffs for the bananas covered by the FTAs, it is unclear what, if any, effect they will have on our operations because the banana implementing arrangements remain unsettled, including the possibility of export licenses.

SALADS AND HEALTHY SNACKS SEGMENT

Net sales for the segment were $240 million and $251 million for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively and $731 million and $798 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decline in sales was due to lower volume in retail value-added salads from customer conversions to private label during the first nine months of 2010. Adverse weather conditions and a lettuce blight resulted in lower productivity and higher field and manufacturing costs for the entire industry in the first quarter of 2011, while industry input cost inflation, process customization associated with Fresh Rinse and product quality-related costs have also negatively affected 2011. We expect certain of these costs to be temporary and be lower in the fourth quarter of 2011 and in 2012. Fresh Rinse is the company’s new produce wash that significantly reduces microorganisms on particular leafy greens compared to a conventional chlorine sanitizer. We converted all of our facilities to support the use of this technology during the first half of 2011.

30

The significant increases (decreases) in our Salads and Healthy Snacks segment operating income for the quarter (“Q3”) and nine months (“YTD”) ended September 30, presented in millions, are as follows:

Q3			YTD
$	18		$	99		2010 Salads and Healthy Snacks segment operating income

¹  Represents the net reduction in sales of individual product pricing changes, without considering changes in product mix. The weighted average price of all sales increased by 3.5% for the third quarter and by 1.8% for the nine months, including the favorable changes in product mix.

OTHER PRODUCE SEGMENT

Net sales for the segment were $30 million and $47 million for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $139 million and $202 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Operating income (loss) for the segment was $(2) million and $1 million for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively and $(38) million and $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Sales decreased primarily due to the discontinuation of non-strategic, low-margin product in the fourth quarter of 2010. Operating income decreased primarily as a result of recording a $32 million reserve in the second quarter of 2011 for advances to a Chilean grower of grapes and other produce. The reserve was based upon additional information received on the grower’s credit quality, lower than expected collections through the end of the 2010-2011 Chilean grape season, and a decision in the second quarter of 2011 to change our grape sourcing model. In the third quarter of 2011, the Chilean grower was declared bankrupt; we continue to negotiate recovery with the bankruptcy trustee and other creditors of the grower. See further discussion of grower advances in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Segment results were also affected by higher avocado sourcing and logistics costs.

CORPORATE

Corporate expenses were $13 million and $15 million for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $45 million and $53 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Corporate expenses were lower primarily due to lower legal fees, lower incentive compensation and pension costs.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Interest expense was $12 million and $14 million for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $41 million and $43 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Other expense in 2011 and the decrease in interest expense were related to the refinancing activities that are described in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and in Financial Condition – Liquidity and Capital Resources below. During the third quarter of 2010, we recognized $3 million of expense related to contingencies in Europe. See Note 13 for further discussion of contingencies.

31

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes were a net benefit of $4 million and $76 million in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to a net benefit of $1 million and net expense of $2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The increase in the income tax benefit for the third quarter 2011 relates to operating losses incurred by U.S. business. The increase in net income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 2010 is primarily the result of the $87 million U.S. valuation allowance release, partially offset by a $6 million charge for a tax settlement in Italy as described in Notes 8 and 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As a result of sustained improvements in the performance of our North American businesses and the benefits of debt reduction over the last several years, we have been generating annual U.S. taxable income beginning with tax year 2009, and expect this trend to continue, even if seasonal losses may be incurred in interim periods. As of June 30, 2011, our forecast included second quarter results as well as increased visibility to North American banana pricing and stabilized sourcing costs. As a result of these considerations, we recognized an $87 million income tax benefit for the reversal of valuation allowances against 100% of the U.S. federal deferred tax assets and a portion of the state deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”), which are more likely than not to be realized in the future. Through the second quarter of 2011, valuation allowances on available U.S. NOLs significantly affected our effective tax rate; if a deferred tax asset with a full valuation allowance, such as an NOL, was realized, the corresponding valuation allowance was also released, resulting in no net effect to income taxes reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The reversal of the valuation allowance against U.S. federal deferred tax assets, described above, resulted in changing our interim tax reporting from the discrete method to the effective tax rate method. Under the effective tax rate method, we are required to adjust our effective tax rate for each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Jurisdictions with a projected loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the calculation of the estimate annual effective tax rate. This could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate in the interim period based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. Our overall effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period due to the level and mix of income among domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Many of these foreign jurisdictions have tax rates that are lower than the U.S. statutory rate, and we continue to maintain full valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in some of these jurisdictions. Other items that do not otherwise affect the our earnings can also affect our overall effective tax rate, such as the effect of changing exchange rates on intercompany balances that can change the mix of income among domestic and foreign jurisdictions. We do not expect our cash paid for taxes to change materially from historic levels for several years due to the availability of U.S. NOLs, but we do expect an increase of future reported income tax expense due to the second quarter release of the valuation allowance booked against those NOLs. Our effective tax rate going forward will reflect a combination of the application of normal U.S. statutory rates and historical levels of foreign taxes.

Financial Condition – Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2011, we had a cash balance of $133 million. As described more fully in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in July 2011 we completed a refinancing of a portion of our capital structure by entering into an amended and restated Credit Facility with a senior secured term loan (“Term Loan”) of $330 million, and a $150 million senior secured revolving facility (“Revolver”). While keeping similar terms and covenant flexibility of our previous senior secured credit facility (“Preceding Credit Facility”), we used the proceeds to retire both the Preceding Credit Facility and purchase $133 million of our 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes due 2015 in a tender offer at 103.333% of their par value in July 2011; we called the remaining $44 million of the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes for redemption in August 2011 at 102.958% of their par value and used the remainder of the proceeds from the Credit Facility together with available cash to retire the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes called for redemption, representing the entire issue. In total, these refinancing efforts resulted in an aggregate $11 million of expense in the third quarter for tender premiums, call premiums and deferred financing fee write-offs, as well as approximately $5 million of cash expenditures for deferred financing fees for the Credit Facility, both of which were recorded in the third quarter of 2011. This is expected to reduce our annual interest expense by approximately $11 million, excluding deferred financing fee write-offs. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $4 million beginning September 30, 2011 through June 30, 2013 and quarterly principal repayments of $8 million beginning September 30, 2013 through March 31, 2016, with any remaining principal balance due at June 30, 2016, subject to the following early maturity provision. The Credit Facility matures on either (a) July 26, 2016 or (b) six months before the maturity of

32

the 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes due 2014 (May 1, 2014) unless we refinance, or otherwise extend the maturity of the 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes by such date. We have not drawn on the Revolver other than having used $23 million to support letters of credit leaving an available balance of $127 million. We are in compliance with the financial covenants of our Credit Facility and expect to remain in compliance for more than twelve months from the date of this filing. In November 2011 we announced that we have called for redemption $50 million of the $156 million principal amount outstanding of our 7  ¹/2% Senior Notes due 2014 at the redemption price of 101.250% of their par value (plus interest to the redemption date). The redemption will be completed in December 2011.

Cash provided by operations was $48 million and $88 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and declined in 2011 primarily due to increased working capital and lower operating results.

Cash flow from investing activities includes capital expenditures of $50 million and $33 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We expect capital expenditures for the full year to be between $75 million and $80 million, a level that is higher than historic levels, primarily due to investments for growth and innovation such as Fresh Rinse, improved packaging and expansion of our fresh cut apples program, and other cost saving and rejuvenation projects. The first half of 2010 also included €14 million ($17 million) of proceeds from the sale of 51% of our European smoothie business to Danone and $18 million of proceeds from the sale of an equity method investment in Coast Citrus Distributors, Inc. See Notes 2 and 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of deconsolidation and divestiture transactions.

Cash used in financing activities related to the refinancing activities described above. Other financing cash flows included the quarterly principal payment under the term loan of our Preceding Credit Facility and in 2010 also included the open-market repurchase of $13 million of our Senior Notes, consisting of $11 million of the 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes and $2 million of the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we did not draw on the Revolver to fund normal seasonal working capital needs. Management evaluates opportunities to reduce debt to the extent it is economically efficient and attractive and has a long-term goal to improve the ratio of debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to 3 to 1. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further description of our debt agreements (including covenants and restrictions) and financing activities.

A subsidiary has an approximately €17 million ($24 million) uncommitted credit line for bank guarantees used primarily for payments due under import licenses and duties in European Union countries. At September 30, 2011, we had approximately €12 million ($16 million) of cash equivalents in a compensating balance arrangement related to this uncommitted credit line.

Depending on fuel prices, we can have significant obligations or amounts receivable under our bunker fuel hedging arrangements, although we would expect any liability or asset from these arrangements to be offset by lower or higher fuel purchase costs, respectively. At September 30, 2011 and 2010, our bunker fuel forward contracts were net assets of $21 million and $11 million, respectively. The amount ultimately due or receivable will depend upon fuel prices at the dates of settlement. See “Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” below and Notes 5 and 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about our hedging activities. We expect operating cash flows will be sufficient to cover our hedging obligations, if any.

We face certain contingent liabilities which are described in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices, reserves have not been established for most of the ongoing matters. It is possible that in future periods we could have to pay damages or other amounts with respect to one or more of these matters, the exact amount of which would be at the discretion of the applicable court or regulatory body. We presently expect that we would use existing cash resources to satisfy any such liabilities. In addition, we are making payments and may be required to make additional payments to preserve our right to appeal assessments of Italian customs cases, as more fully described in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Such payments are typically made over a period of time under a payment plan. If we ultimately prevail in these cases, the amounts will be repaid with interest.

We have not made dividend payments since 2006, and any future dividends would require approval by the board of directors. Under the Credit Facility, CBL may distribute cash to CBII, the parent company, for routine CBII operating expenses, interest payments on CBII’s 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes and its Convertible Notes or on any

33

refinancing of these Senior Notes and Convertible Notes and payment of certain other specified CBII liabilities (“permitted payments”). CBL may distribute cash to CBII for other purposes, including dividends, if we are in compliance with the covenants and not in default under the Credit Facility. The CBII 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes also have dividend payment limitations with respect to the ability and extent of declaration of dividends. At September 30, 2011, distributions to CBII, other than for permitted payments, were limited to approximately $60 million annually.

Risks of International Operations

We operate in many foreign countries, including those in Central America, Europe, the Middle East, China and Africa. Our activities are subject to risks inherent in operating in these countries, including government regulation, currency restrictions and other restraints, import and export restrictions, burdensome taxes, risks of expropriation, threats to employees, political instability, terrorist activities, including extortion, and risks of U.S. and foreign governmental action in relation to us. Should such circumstances occur, we might need to curtail, cease or alter our activities in a particular region or country. Trade restrictions apply to certain countries and certain parties under various sanctions laws and regulations; our sales into Iran and Syria must be and are authorized by the U.S. government pursuant to these regulations, which generally or by specific license allow sales of our food products to non-sanctioned parties. In order to avoid transactions with parties subject to trade restrictions, we screen parties to our transactions against relevant trade sanctions lists.

See “Part II, Item 1 – Legal Proceedings” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further description of legal proceedings and other risks.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

New Accounting Standards

This quarterly report contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, including: the customary risks experienced by global food companies, such as prices for fuel and other commodity inputs, currency exchange rate fluctuations, industry and competitive conditions (all of which may be more unpredictable in light of continuing uncertainty in the global economic environment), government regulations, food safety issues and product recalls affecting us or the industry, labor relations, taxes, political instability and terrorism; unusual weather events, conditions or crop risks; access to and cost of financing; and the outcome of pending litigation and governmental investigations involving us, as well as the legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with these items.

The forward-looking statements speak as of the date made and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, and we undertake no obligation to update any such statements.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Reference is made to the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Market Risk Management – Financial Instruments” in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of September 30, 2011, the only material changes from the information presented in the Form 10-K are contained in the information provided below.

HEDGING INSTRUMENTS

Our products are distributed in nearly 70 countries. International sales are made primarily in U.S. dollars and major European currencies. We reduce currency exchange risk from sales originating in currencies other than the U.S. dollar by exchanging local currencies for dollars promptly upon receipt. We consider our exposure, current market conditions and hedging costs in determining when and whether to enter into new hedging instruments to hedge the dollar value of our estimated net euro cash flow exposure up to 18 months into the future. We use average rate euro put options, average rate euro call options and average rate euro forward contracts to manage our exposure to exchange rates on the conversion of euro-based revenue into U.S. dollars. Purchasing average rate euro put options require upfront premium payments, and reduces the risk of a decline in the value of the euro without limiting the benefit of an increase in the value of the euro. Selling average rate euro call options together with purchasing the put options can reduce the premium expense, but limits the benefit of an increase in the value of the euro. Average rate euro forward contracts lock in the value of the euro and do not require an upfront premium. We may purchase average rate euro put options for periods up to 18 months in the future, but may also use call options or forwards in short-term periods together with put options to reduce the cost of currency hedging coverage. At October 27, 2011, we had hedge positions that protect approximately 50% of our expected net exposure for the remainder of 2011 from a decline in the exchange rate below $1.42 per euro and had hedge positions that limit the benefit of an increase in the exchange rate above $1.49 per euro for approximately 50% of our expected net exposure in the remainder of 2011; these positions could also result in a loss if the actual exchange rate exceeds the strike rate. We also hedge positions that lock in the value of the euro at 1.44 per euro for approximately 25% of our expected net exposure in the remainder of 2011 and 1.38 per euro for approximately 50% of our expected net exposure for the first quarter of 2012; these positions can offset decreases in the value of the euro or can limit the benefit of an increase in the exchange rate, but in either case reduce the volatility of changes in the value of the euro. We expect that any loss on these contracts would be more than offset by an increase in the dollar realization of the underlying sales denominated in foreign currencies.

Our shipping operations are exposed to the risk of rising fuel prices. To reduce the risk of rising fuel prices, we enter into bunker fuel forward contracts (swaps) that allow us to lock in fuel prices up to three years in the future. Bunker fuel forward contracts can offset increases in market fuel prices or can result in higher costs from declines in market fuel prices, but in either case reduce the volatility of changing fuel prices in our results. In the third quarter 2011, we implemented a new shipping configuration, the first change of such magnitude in several years. These changes are expected to reduce our total bunker fuel consumption and change the ports where bunker fuel will be purchased. As a result of these changes, accounting standards required us to recognize $12 million of unrealized gains on bunker fuel forward contracts in “Cost of sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the third quarter of 2011 originally intended to hedge bunker fuel purchases in future periods. These unrealized gains, previously deferred in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” were recognized because the forecasted hedged bunker fuel purchases, as documented by us, became probable not to occur. Bunker fuel forward contracts that were in excess of our expected core fuel demand were sold and gains of $2 million were realized. At October 27, 2011, we had hedging coverage for approximately 70% of our expected fuel purchases through 2011 at average bunker fuel swap rates of $399 per metric ton ($618 per metric ton for accounting purposes), hedging coverage for approximately three-fourths of our expected fuel purchases in 2012 at average bunker fuel swap rates of $459 per metric ton ($589 per metric ton for accounting purposes), hedging coverage for approximately two-thirds of our expected fuel purchases in 2013 at average bunker fuel swap rates of $493 per metric ton ($585 per metric ton for accounting purposes) and hedging coverage for approximately half of our expected fuel purchases in 2014 at average bunker fuel swap rates of $581 per metric ton ($593 per metric ton for accounting purposes).

We carry hedging instruments at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and defer potential gains and losses to the extent that the hedges are effective in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” until the hedged transaction occurs (the euro sale or fuel purchase to which the hedging instrument was intended to apply). The fair value of the foreign currency options and bunker fuel forward contracts was a net asset of $28 million, $28 million and $10 million at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010,

35

respectively. A hypothetical 10% increase in the euro currency rates would have resulted in a decline in fair value of the euro put and call options of approximately $9 million at September 30, 2011. However, we expect that any loss on these put and call options would be more than offset by an increase in the dollar realization of the underlying sales denominated in foreign currencies. A hypothetical 10% decrease in bunker fuel rates would result in a decline in fair value of the bunker fuel forward contracts of approximately $19 million at September 30, 2011. However, we expect that any decline in the fair value of these contracts would be offset by a decrease in the cost of underlying fuel purchases.

See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of our hedging activities. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of fair value measurements, as it relates to our hedging instruments.

DEBT INSTRUMENTS

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt, which is primarily the outstanding balance under our Credit Facility. As of October 27, 2011, we had approximately $326 million of variable rate debt (see Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). A 1% change in interest rates would result in a change to interest expense of approximately $3 million annually.

Although the Condensed Balance Sheets do not present debt at fair value, we have a significant amount of fixed-rate debt whose fair value could fluctuate as a result of changes in prevailing market interest rates. As of October 27, 2011, we also have $357 million principal balance of other fixed-rate debt, which includes the 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes due 2014 and the 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2016. The $200 million principal balance of the Convertible Notes is greater than their $141 million carrying value due to the accounting standards for convertible notes such as ours that are described in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. A hypothetical 0.50% increase in interest rates would have resulted in a decline in the fair value of our other fixed-rate debt of approximately $6 million at September  30, 2011.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings with the SEC is (a) accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner and (b) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. An evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness as of September 30, 2011 of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

We also maintain a system of internal accounting controls, which includes internal control over financial reporting, that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that our financial records can be relied upon for preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and that our assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition. Based on an evaluation by management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – Other Information

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings

The information included in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding the European Competition Law Investigation, Colombia Related Matters, and the Italian Customs and Tax Cases is incorporated by reference into this Item. Reference is made to the discussion under “Part 1, Item 3 – Legal Proceedings – Personal Injury Cases” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and under “Part II, Item 1 – Legal Proceedings” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

Regarding the DBCP matters, in August 2011, a suit was filed in California against Chiquita and other defendants on behalf of approximately 2,500 Philippine plaintiffs who claim they were injured by DBCP while working on banana plantations in the Philippines. There is not enough information to determine whether Chiquita is a proper defendant as to any of those plaintiffs. In addition in May and June 2011, seven suits were filed against Chiquita and other defendants in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, on behalf of approximately 250 plaintiffs from Ecuador, Costa Rica and Panama who claim they were injured by DBCP while working on plantations in their countries. Chiquita was not served until October 2011, but received notice of these suits from plaintiffs’ attorneys in July 2011. There is not enough information to determine whether Chiquita is a proper defendant as to any of those plaintiffs.

Item 5 – Other

In connection with Tanios Viviani’s resignation from the company, Mr. Viviani and the company have entered into a separation agreement, which became fully effective on November 3, 2011. Pursuant to the separation agreement, Mr. Viviani has agreed to cooperate with the Company with respect to specified business matters and has also agreed to confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in favor of the company. Mr. Viviani has also agreed to a general release of the company. In exchange for the foregoing, the company has agreed to provide Mr. Viviani with benefits under the terms of the company’s Executive Officer’s Severance Pay Plan (filed as Exhibit 10.6 to the company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and as described in the company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed April 8, 2011).

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CREDIT AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2011, is entered into by and among: (a) Chiquita Brands L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”); (b) Chiquita Brands International, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“CBII”); (c) each of the banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders executing a Lender Addendum (collectively, the “Initial Lenders”); (d) Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen - Boerenleenbank B.A., “Rabobank Nederland”, New York Branch (“Rabobank”), as Administrative Agent (as defined below), as Swing Line Lender (as defined below), and as an L/C Issuer (as defined below); and (e) Rabobank, as lead arranger and bookrunner (in such capacities, the “Lead Arranger”).

RECITALS

The Borrower, CBII, certain Lenders and Rabobank have previously entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 31, 2008 (as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “Original Credit Agreement”).

The Borrower has requested, and the Lenders have agreed to enter into this Agreement to, among other things, amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement in its entirety, without constituting a novation of the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of the Borrower thereunder, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

INTERPRETATION

Section 1.01. Definitions. Unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each term set forth below, when used in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, shall have the respective meaning given to that term below or in the provision of this Agreement or other document, instrument or agreement referenced below:

“Act” shall have the meaning given to that term in Section 8.16.

“Administrative Agent” shall mean, as the context may require, (a) Rabobank, acting as administrative agent for the Lenders (or any successor administrative agent appointed in accordance with Section 7.06), or (b) the administrative agent for the Lenders (or any successor administrative agent appointed in accordance with Section 7.06) acting in its capacity as collateral agent for the Secured Parties in accordance with Section 7.01(a).

“Affected Lender” shall have the meaning given to that term in Section 2.15.

“Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any Person, (a) each other Person that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person or any Affiliate of such Person or (b) that is a CBII Entity, the officers or directors of CBII or the Borrower; provided, however, that in no case shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender (by reason of its capacity as such) be deemed to be an Affiliate of any CBII Entity for purposes of this Agreement. For the purpose of this definition, “control” of a Person shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of its management and policies, whether through the ownership of voting Equity Securities, by contract or otherwise.

“Agreement” shall mean this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time.

“Anti-Terrorism Laws” shall mean any laws, rules or regulations relating to terrorism, national security, US embargoes or other sanctions, or money laundering, including Executive Order No. 13224, the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated or administered by OFAC.

“Applicable Lending Office” shall mean, with respect to any Lender, (a) in the case of its Base Rate Loans, its US Lending Office and (b) in the case of its LIBOR Loans, its Euro-Dollar Lending Office.

“Applicable Margin” shall mean, (a) with respect to each Term Loan, the per annum margin which is determined pursuant to the Term Loan Pricing Grid (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.17) and added to the Base Rate or LIBOR Rate, as the case may be, for such Term Loan, (b) with respect to each Revolving Loan, the per annum margin which is determined pursuant to the Revolving Loan Pricing Grid and added to the Base Rate or LIBOR Rate, as the case may be, for such Revolving Loan, (c) with respect to the calculation of the Letter of Credit Fee Percentage, the per annum margin which is determined pursuant to the Revolving Loan Pricing Grid and added to the LIBOR Rate for Revolving Loans and (d) with respect to the calculation of the Commitment Fee Percentage, the per annum margin which is determined pursuant to the Revolving Loan Pricing Grid. The Applicable Margin with respect to (x) each Term Loan shall be determined as provided in the Term Loan Pricing Grid (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.17) and shall change as set forth in the definition of Term Loan Pricing Grid and (y) each Revolving Loan and the calculation of the Letter of Credit Fee Percentage and the Commitment Fee Percentage shall be determined as provided in the Revolving Loan Pricing Grid and shall change as set forth in the definition of Revolving Loan Pricing Grid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Margin with respect to (a) each Term Loan shall be determined from the Effective Date through the first calculation date set forth in the definition of Term Loan Pricing Grid based upon Tier 4 of the Term Loan Pricing Grid and (b) each Revolving Loan, the Letter of Credit Fee Percentage and the Commitment Fee Percentage shall be determined from the Effective Date through the first calculation date set forth in the definition of Revolving Loan Pricing Grid based upon Tier 4 of the Revolving Loan Pricing Grid. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Financial Statement or any Compliance Certificate is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered),

-2-

and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin with respect to any Loans or the Letter of Credit Fee Percentage for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then the Borrower shall immediately (a) deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (b) determine the Applicable Margin with respect to such Loans and the Letter of Credit Fee Percentage for such Applicable Period based upon the corrected Compliance Certificate, and (c) pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest and the Letter of Credit Fee Percentage owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly distributed to the Appropriate Lenders. This provision shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to Section 2.07(d) and Article VI.

Section 2.02. Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.02, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit in Dollars (or in Non-US Currency) for the account of the Borrower, (2) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.02(b) and (3) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit issued by it and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower; provided that the L/C Issuer shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit, if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations would exceed the Revolving Loan Facility at such time, (y) the aggregate Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all Swing Line Loans would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or (z) either (i) the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (ii) the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations in respect of Non-US Currency Letters of Credit would exceed the Non-US Currency Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit

-53-

generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) subject to Section 2.02(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than 12 months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date;

(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all of the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date;

(D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of general application of the L/C Issuer;

(E) only with respect to a request for a Non-US Currency Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer determines that current or reasonably expected market conditions for the applicable Non-US Currency are unusually unstable or would make it unlawful, impossible or impracticable for the L/C Issuer to fund or hedge its obligations under the Non-US Currency Letter of Credit; or

(F) such Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than $50,000 (or the US Currency Equivalent thereof on the date of issuance).

(iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Evergreen Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by an Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., at least, in the case of Non-US Currency Letter of Credit, 5 Business Days and, in the case of any other Letter of Credit, two Business Days (or, in each case, such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested

-54-

Letter of Credit (which date shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which date shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s then-current Revolving Proportionate Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each 12 month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such 12 month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by an L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (and for avoidance of doubt, any Evergreen Letter of Credit to be renewed, whether automatically or at the request of the Borrower, to a date later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date shall require the approval of all Revolving Lenders); provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (B) from the Administrative Agent,

-55-

any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, and provided, further, that the L/C Issuer shall not be obligated to permit any such renewal if the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Evergreen Letter of Credit at any time.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by the L/C Issuer as a result of such drawing and the date on which payment is to be made by the L/C Issuer to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in respect of such drawing. Not later than 11:00 a.m., on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing (any reimbursement with respect to amounts drawn under a Non-US Currency Letter of Credit shall be paid in the applicable Non-US Currency, except that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative Agent may require that any reimbursement be paid in the US Currency Equivalent of such amount). If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount (provided that in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount in a Non-US Currency (a “Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount”), such amount shall be the US Currency Equivalent of such amount plus any related transaction costs, all of which are the Borrower’s responsibility), without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Loan Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Lender (including the Revolving Lender acting as L/C Issuer), on a several basis, shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s office in an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of

-56-

the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Loan Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable upon demand by the Administrative Agent (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (provided that interest on any Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount shall accrue based on the US Currency Equivalent as of any date of determination of such Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount). In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.02 (provided that in the case of any Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount, any such amount shall be such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the US Currency Equivalent of such amount plus any related transaction costs, all of which are the Borrower’s responsibility).

(iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for, or participate in, amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.02(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing (including any event described in Sections 2.02(e)(i) through 2.02(e)(vi)). Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(c) by the time specified in Section 2.02(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest

-57-

thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a per annum rate equal to (A) the daily Federal Funds Rate during the period from the date such payment is required through the third day thereafter and (B) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans thereafter. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.02(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) is required to be returned, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a per annum rate equal to (A) the daily Federal Funds Rate during the period from the date of such demand through the third day thereafter and (B) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans thereafter.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to repay each L/C Borrowing and each drawing under a Letter of Credit that is refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, the Credit Documents, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, all or any of the Credit Documents;

(iii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may

-58-

be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(v) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly, and in any event prior to the L/C Issuer taking any applicable action with respect to such Letter of Credit, notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given before the action giving rise to such claims has been taken.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each of the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the

-59-

beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 2.02(e)(i) through 2.02(e)(vi); provided, however, that anything in such Sections to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (ii) if, as of the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Loan Facility, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the Obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations. The Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Lenders, a Lien on all such cash and deposit account balances described in the definition of “Cash Collateralize” as security for such Obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit. Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at Rabobank, N.A. or another institution satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Lien held by the Administrative Agent in such cash collateral to secure such Obligations shall be released upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (a) no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding; (b) all L/C Obligations shall have been repaid in full; and (c) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. To the extent that such cash collateral exceeds the L/C Obligations as Letters of Credit expire or are replaced or L/C Obligations decrease, such excess cash collateral shall be released to, or as directed by, the Borrower; provided, however, that no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing.

(h) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share, a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Letter of Credit

-60-

Fee Percentage (plus an additional 2% per annum, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) on the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit (which amount shall be the US Currency Equivalent in the case of Non-US Currency Letters of Credit), prorated, if applicable, in the case of a renewal date or an expiry date of less than one year. Such fee for each Letter of Credit shall be due and payable after the issuance thereof, and any renewal or extension thereof (whether by amendment, automatic or otherwise). The fee is due and payable quarterly in arrears with each payment for the preceding quarter due on the first Business Day of the calendar month immediately following such quarter, and is nonrefundable.

(j) Issuance Fee; Documentary, Presentation, Amendment, and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account (i) an issuance fee in an amount with respect to each Letter of Credit (whether standby or commercial) equal to 0.125% of the amount of such Letter of Credit (which amount shall be the US Currency Equivalent in the case of Non-US Currency Letters of Credit), due and payable upon each L/C Credit Extension with respect to such Letter of Credit and (ii) the customary, documentary, presentation, amendment, and processing fees, and other standard published costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Any applicable fees and charges are due and payable on demand and are non-refundable.

(k) Non-US Currency Letters of Credit Computation of US Currency Equivalent. The Administrative Agent will determine the US Currency Equivalent with respect to any Non-US Currency Letter of Credit (i) as of the date of issuance thereof, (ii) at least one time each fiscal quarter and (iii) at such other times as reasonably requested by the Borrower or any Lender (each, “Computation Date”). The Administrative Agent will provide the Borrower with written notice of the amount determined pursuant to this Section 2.02(k) from time to time, including following the end of each fiscal quarter. Upon receipt of such notice and upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if the Non-US Currency Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be exceeded on any Computation Date, whether as a result of market fluctuation of the applicable Non-US Currency or otherwise, the Borrower shall (A) immediately prepay the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Loan Facility in the manner set forth in Section 2.06(e) or (B) if requested by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize the Obligations in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(g), in either case, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess.

(l) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

Section 2.03. Swing Line.

(a) The Swing Line. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date to the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Loan Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Lender of Revolving Loans, may exceed the amount of

-61-

such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Facility at such time and (ii) the aggregate Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), plus such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, and provided, further, that the Swing Line Lender shall not make any Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.03, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.03. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender, on a several basis, shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan; provided, however, that the Revolving Lenders shall not have an obligation to purchase risk participations from the Swing Line Lender if the relevant Swing Line Loan was made without consent of the Required Revolving Lenders during the existence of an Event of Default with respect to which the Swing Line Lender has received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrower, referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default”. The Borrower shall pay all outstanding principal on Swing Line Loans (which may be refinanced as provided in Section 2.03(c)) on the fifteenth day of each month (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) and the last Business Day of each month.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m., on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which amount shall be a minimum amount of $250,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, appropriately completed and signed by an Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 12:00 noon on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, make the

-62-

amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes and requests the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent by not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day before the date of the requested refinancing and shall specify the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding and the date on which the Base Rate Loan is to be made and shall be subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Loan Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than delivery of a Notice of Borrowing). The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable request promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the applicable request. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount specified in such request available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon, on the day specified in such request, whereupon, subject to Section 2.03(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Revolving Loan Borrowing cannot be requested in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i) or any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Loan Borrowing, the request submitted by the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a per annum rate equal to (A) the daily Federal Funds Rate during the period from the date such payment is required through the third day thereafter and (B) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans thereafter. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-63-

(iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any such purchase of participations shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participation was outstanding and funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a per annum rate equal to (A) the daily Federal Funds Rate during the period from the date of such demand through the third day thereafter and (B) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans thereafter. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans in respect of the Revolving Loan Facility. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or participation pursuant to this Section 2.03 to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Shares of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of all such Revolving Proportionate Shares shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan upon payment (to the extent thereof), on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter and at maturity.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

-64-

Section 2.04. Amount Limitations, Commitment Reductions.

(a) Optional Reduction or Cancellation of Revolving Loan Commitments. The Borrower may, upon five Business Days written notice to the Administrative Agent (each a “Reduction Notice”), permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Facility by the amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof or cancel the Revolving Loan Facility in its entirety; provided, however, that:

(i) The Borrower may not reduce the Revolving Loan Facility prior to the Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such reduction, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans then outstanding would exceed the Revolving Loan Facility as proposed to be reduced; and

(ii) The Borrower may not cancel the Revolving Loan Facility prior to the Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such cancellation, any Swing Line Loan or Revolving Loan would then remain outstanding.

Any Reduction Notice shall be irrevocable; provided that any Reduction Notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date previously provided in the applicable Reduction Notice) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) Mandatory Termination of Commitments.

(i) The Revolving Loan Facility shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the Maturity Date.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may, or upon instructions from the Required Revolving Lenders shall, by written notice to the Borrower, reduce the Revolving Loan Facility to zero if any CBII Entity shall fail to observe or perform the covenant contained in Section 5.02(p)(ii).

(c) Effect of Commitment Reductions. From and after the effective date of any reduction of the Revolving Loan Facility, the Commitment Fees payable pursuant to Section 2.05(b) shall be computed on the basis of the Revolving Loan Facility as so reduced. Any reduction of the Revolving Loan Facility pursuant to Section 2.04(a) shall be applied ratably to reduce each Revolving Lender’s Commitment in accordance with Section 2.10(a)(i).

Section 2.05. Fees.

(a) Fee Letter. The Borrower shall pay to Rabobank the fees and other compensation in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter.

-65-

(b) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders as provided in Section 2.10(a)(iv), commitment fees (collectively, the “Commitment Fees”) equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage of the daily Unused Revolving Commitment for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Maturity Date. The Borrower shall pay the Commitment Fees in arrears on the last day in each March, June, September and December (commencing September 30, 2011) and on the Maturity Date (or if the Revolving Loan Facility is cancelled on a date prior to the Maturity Date, on such prior date). For purposes of the calculations under this Section 2.05(b), the aggregate principal amount of the aggregate Effective Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit or Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amounts, to the extent consisting of Non-US Currency Letters of Credit shall be based on the US Currency Equivalents relating thereto as of the Business Day immediately preceding the last day in each March, June, September and December, as applicable.

Section 2.06. Prepayments.

(a) Terms of All Prepayments. Upon the prepayment of any Loan (whether such prepayment is an optional prepayment under Section 2.06(b), a mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.06(c) or a mandatory prepayment required by any other provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, including a prepayment upon acceleration), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender that made such Loan (i) all accrued interest and fees to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and (ii) if such prepayment is the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, all amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.13. For avoidance of doubt, all Lender Rate Contracts are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Lender Rate Contracts, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of the Credit Documents, except as otherwise expressly provided in such written Lender Rate Contracts; provided, however, that any payoff statement from the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement shall apply to such Lender Rate Contracts, except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement.

(b) Optional Prepayments.

(i) At its option, the Borrower may, upon notice of at least one Business Day to the Administrative Agent in the case of Base Rate Loans or notice of at least three Business Days to the Administrative Agent in the case of LIBOR Loans, prepay without premium or penalty (except as expressly set forth in Section 2.13) the Loans in any Borrowing under any Facility selected by the Borrower and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon in part, in a minimum principal amount of, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.06(b)(ii), $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, or in whole. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Facility in respect of which such prepayment shall be made; provided that if such prepayment is to be made on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall be subject to the payments required by Section 2.13. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, provided that such notice may state that it is conditioned upon

-66-

the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date previously provided in the applicable notice) if such condition is not satisfied. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all prepayments under this Section 2.06(b) which are applied to reduce the principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans as directed by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to direct the application of any such prepayments, such prepayments shall be applied first to the accrued but unpaid interest on and then any principal of the Swing Line Loans until paid in full, second to the accrued but unpaid interest on and then any principal of the Revolving Loans until paid in full, and shall, in each case, to the extent possible, be first applied to prepay Base Rate Loans and then if any funds remain, to prepay LIBOR Loans; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any such prepayment is made, the Revolving Lenders shall apply such prepayments to such Obligations as the Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion which determination shall be effective as to all Revolving Lenders (but for regulatory purposes, the Revolving Lenders may apply such payments internally as they shall determine). Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) of Term Loans shall be applied to the installments of such Facility (x) in inverse order of maturity, (y) on a pro rata basis or (z) in order of maturity for installments due within 6 months of the date of prepayment with the balance to be applied to the remaining installments in inverse order of maturity, as directed by the Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists and otherwise as determined by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) At its option, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of the lesser of (1) $250,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof and (2) the outstanding balance of the Swing Line Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(c) Mandatory Prepayments. Without reducing the Revolving Loan Facility or any of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans as follows:

(i) If, at any time, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding exceeds the Revolving Loan Facility at such time, the Borrower shall immediately (A) prepay the Swing Line Loans to the extent Swing Line Loans in a sufficient amount are then outstanding, (B) then prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent Revolving Loans in a sufficient amount are then outstanding, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess and (C) Cash Collateralize the Obligations in respect of the outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations.

-67-

(ii) If, during any fiscal year (including fiscal year 2011), any CBII Entity consummates any Asset Sale and the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale, when added to the Net Cash Proceeds of all such Asset Sales by all CBII Entities during such fiscal year, in the aggregate, exceed $15,000,000 for such fiscal year (the “Sales Basket Amount”), the Borrower shall, immediately after the completion of each Asset Sale which results in such an excess or an increase in such an excess, prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the outstanding Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.06(e), in each case, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such excess or such increase in such excess; provided, however, that:

(A) no such prepayment shall be required in connection with any Asset Sale (or related Asset Sales, in a series or otherwise) otherwise permitted under Section 5.02(c) to the extent the aggregate consideration received by the CBII Entities for such Asset Sale (or related Asset Sales, in a series or otherwise) does not exceed $2,500,000 (and such sale proceeds shall not be counted towards the Sales Basket Amount);

(B) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, no such prepayment shall be required in connection with any Asset Sale (or related Asset Sale, in a series or otherwise) (each, a “Relevant Sale”) otherwise permitted under Section 5.02(c) to the extent (1) if the Net Cash Proceeds from all Relevant Sales in any fiscal year exceed $5,000,000, the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent in writing at the time the Net Cash Proceeds from such Relevant Sale are received that the Borrower intends to cause a Borrower Entity to reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in property, plant, equipment, other fixed or capital assets, and/or investments (including joint ventures) in Food Related Businesses and (2) such Net Cash Proceeds are in fact so reinvested in the acquisition of such assets or investments within 180 days from the date on which such Net Cash Proceeds from such Relevant Sale are received; and

(C) anything contained in this Section 2.06(c)(ii) to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from any sale or disposition of assets otherwise giving rise to a required prepayment under this Section 2.06(c)(ii), in the event the Borrower Leverage Ratio is, on a pro forma basis, (1) less than 2.50 to 1.00 both before and after giving effect to such sale or disposition of assets, no such prepayment shall be required, or (2) equal to or in excess of 2.50 to 1.00 both before or after giving effect to such disposition, such prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds and (ii) the amount necessary to decrease the Borrower Leverage Ratio to, on a pro forma basis, less than 2.5 to 1.0 both before and after giving effect to such disposition and the use of such Net Cash Proceeds.

If, at any time after the occurrence of a Relevant Sale and prior to the acquisition of such assets or investments, the 180-day period provided in clause (B) above in the preceding sentence

-68-

shall elapse without the occurrence of the related acquisition or investment or an Event of Default shall occur and is continuing, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in the amount and in the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 2.06(c)(ii).

(iii) If, during any fiscal year (including fiscal year 2011), any CBII Entity receives Extraordinary Receipts and the Net Cash Proceeds of such Extraordinary Receipts that, when added to the Net Cash Proceeds of all such Extraordinary Receipts obtained by all CBII Entities during such fiscal year, in the aggregate, exceed $20,000,000 for such fiscal year, the Borrower shall, after receipt thereof by the CBII Entities of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Extraordinary Receipts which results in such an excess or an increase in such an excess (but subject to the reinvestment exceptions below), immediately prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the outstanding Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.06(e), in each case, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such excess or such increase in such excess. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(iii) with respect to any event resulting in the receipt of Extraordinary Receipts (a “Relevant Event”) if the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent in writing promptly after the time the excess Net Cash Proceeds from such Relevant Event are received that the Borrower intends to cause a Borrower Entity to reinvest all or any portion of such excess Net Cash Proceeds in property, plant, equipment, other replacement assets, and/or investments (including joint ventures) in Food-Related Businesses to the extent (A) such excess Net Cash Proceeds are in fact committed to be reinvested by such Person pursuant to a purchase contract providing for the acquisition of such replacement assets that is executed by such Person and the related seller within one year from the date of such Relevant Event and (B) the acquisition of such replacement assets or investments occurs within two years from the date on which the Net Cash Proceeds from the Relevant Event are received; provided, however, that the Borrower’s requirement to advise the Administrative Agent as provided above shall not apply to any Relevant Event until the Net Cash Proceeds in respect of such Relevant Events during such fiscal year exceed $20,000,000. If, at any time after the occurrence of a Relevant Event and prior to the acquisition of the related replacement assets or investments, the one-year or two-year period provided in clause (A) or (B), respectively, of the preceding sentence shall elapse without execution of the related purchase contract (in the case of clause (A)), the occurrence of the related acquisition or investment (in the case of clause (B)) or an Event of Default shall occur and only so long as continuing, then, upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in the amount and in the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 2.06(c)(iii). At any time after the occurrence of a Relevant Event and prior to the acquisition of the related replacement assets or investments, upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall deposit the Net Cash Proceeds from such Relevant Event which result in an excess over the $20,000,000 per fiscal year amount described above or an increase in such an excess into an interest-bearing account with Rabobank, N.A. or another institution reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which interest-bearing account shall be subject to a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that is perfected by the Borrower entering into a control agreement and other

-69-

documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) until such Net Cash Proceeds are reinvested or paid toward the Loans as directed by the Borrower.

(iv) If, at any time after the Effective Date, any CBII Entity issues or incurs any Indebtedness for borrowed money, including Indebtedness evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or other similar instruments that, when added to all such Indebtedness for borrowed money issued or incurred by all CBII Entities after the Effective Date, in the aggregate, exceeds $25,000,000 (provided that (A) Permitted Indebtedness (1) secured solely by a Lien of the type described in clauses (c), (y) or (z) of the definition of Permitted Liens, (2) owed by a CBII Entity to another CBII Entity, or (3) which is unsecured, matures more than 6 months after the Maturity Date, does not amortize, with respect to which, the relevant CBII Entity agrees to make no voluntary prepayments until at least 6 months after the Maturity Date, and is used within 120 days of incurrence to finance a Permitted Acquisition or an Investment permitted by Sections 5.02(e)(xvi), 5.02(e)(xvii), 5.02(e)(xix) and 5.02(e)(xxii) and (B) Refinancing Indebtedness shall not be counted and non-cash assets received upon issuance of debt in connection with asset acquisitions shall be excluded, except to the extent any such Permitted Indebtedness is issued or incurred to finance, directly or indirectly, the payment in cash or otherwise, of any Distributions by any of the CBII Entities), the Borrower shall, after such issuance or incurrence which results in such an excess or an increase in such an excess, immediately prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the outstanding Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.06(e), in each case, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such of such excess or such increase in such excess.

(v) On or prior to the 120^th day following the end of each fiscal year of CBII (commencing with the fiscal year of CBII ending December 31, 2011), the Borrower shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the outstanding Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.06(e) in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such most recently ended fiscal year, provided that such amount shall be reduced to 0% of Excess Cash Flow if the Borrower Leverage Ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal year of CBII shall be less than 2.50:1.00.

(vi) If, at any time after the Effective Date, any CBII Entity issues any Equity Securities (other than (v) issuances thereof the proceeds of which are used to make a Permitted Acquisition; provided that such Permitted Acquisition occurs within 90 days after such issuance, (w) any issuances thereof to CBII or any Borrower Entity, (x) sales or issuances to any management or employees under any employee stock option or stock purchase plans in existence from time to time, (y) issuances of director’s qualifying shares and (z) any issuances in connection with the exercise of warrants), the Borrower shall, after such issuance or incurrence, immediately prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the outstanding Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.06(e), in each case, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Equity Securities.

(vii) If, at any time, any CBII Entity shall fail to observe or perform the covenant contained in Section 5.02(p)(ii), the Administrative Agent may or, upon

-70-

instructions from the Required Term Lenders, shall, by written notice to the Borrower, require the Borrower to prepay the outstanding Term Loans and the other Obligations with respect thereto, and the Borrower shall so prepay the outstanding Term Loans and the other Obligations with respect thereto, immediately (and in any event within 10 Business Days) following receipt of such notice.

(d) Notice of Prepayment. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under Section 2.06(c), (i) a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or Treasurer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the Type and principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount required to be prepaid was greater than the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans (and/or, if applicable, the Commitments shall be permanently reduced) in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or Treasurer of the Borrower demonstrating the derivation of the additional amount resulting in such excess.

(e) Application of Prepayments.

(i) All prepayments pursuant to Section 2.06(c) (excluding Section 2.06(c)(i)) shall be applied as follows: first, to prepay the Term Loans and to the installments thereof on a pro rata basis, second, to prepay any Unreimbursed Amounts then outstanding, third, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the extent Swing Line Loans are then outstanding, fourth, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent Revolving Loans are then outstanding and fifth, to Cash Collateralize the Obligations in respect of the outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations.

(ii) Without modifying the order of application of prepayments set forth in Section 2.06(e)(i), all such prepayments shall, to the extent possible, be first applied to prepay Base Rate Loans and then if any funds remain, to prepay LIBOR Loans. All prepayments which are applied to reduce the principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments.

(iii) Any amounts available after the application thereof in accordance with this Section 2.06(e) shall be, to the extent no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, returned to the Borrower.

Section 2.07. Other Payment Terms.

(a) Place and Manner. All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made without condition or deduction for any

-71-

counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Borrower shall make all payments due to each Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by payments to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office located at the address specified on Schedule IV of the Disclosure Letter, with each payment due to a Lender to be for the account of such Lender and such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office. The Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement or any other Credit Document in lawful money of the US (except with respect to any Non-US Currency Letter of Credit or Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount, which shall be paid in the Non-US Currency applicable to such Non-US Currency Letter of Credit or Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount to the extent not repaid with the proceeds of a Base Rate Loan that was used to purchase the applicable Non-US Currency as set forth in Section 2.02(c)) and in same day or immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date due. The Administrative Agent shall promptly disburse to each Lender each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender.

(b) Non-US Currency Payments. The specification of payment of Non-US Currency Letters of Credit or Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount in the related Non-US Currency at a specific place pursuant to this Agreement is of the essence. Such Non-US Currency shall, subject to Section 2.02(c), be the currency of account and payment of such Letters of Credit under this Agreement. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of such Letters of Credit shall not be discharged by an amount paid in any other currency or at another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent the amount so paid, on prompt conversion into the applicable Non-US Currency and transfer to such Lender under normal banking procedures, does not yield the amount of such Non-US Currency due under this Agreement. In the event that any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in payment of the amount of such Non-US Currency due under this Agreement, such Lender shall have an independent cause of action against the Borrower and the applicable Guarantors for the currency deficit.

(c) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(d) Default Rate. (i) Automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) and (ii) at the election of the Required Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, until the time when such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived by the Required Lenders or all the Lenders (as required by this Agreement), the Borrower shall pay interest on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Obligations owing hereunder at a per annum rate equal to the interest rate that would otherwise apply pursuant to Section 2.01(d), plus 2.00% (the “Default Rate”) payable on demand. Overdue interest shall itself bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, and shall be compounded with the principal Obligations daily, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.

(e) Application of Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments hereunder shall be applied first to unpaid fees, costs and expenses then due and

-72-

payable under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, second to accrued interest then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, and finally to reduce the principal amount of outstanding Loans and L/C Borrowings.

(f) Failure to Pay the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower at least one Business Day prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Borrower has made or will make such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be paid to the Lenders on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lenders. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at a per annum rate equal to (i) the daily Federal Funds Rate during the period from the date such amount is distributed through the third day thereafter and (ii) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans thereafter. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Section 2.07(f) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.08. Loan Accounts; Notes.

(a) Loan Accounts. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans made to it by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall be evidenced by an account or accounts maintained by such Lender on its books (individually, a “Loan Account”), except that any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a note or notes pursuant to Sections 2.08(b) and 2.08(c). Each Lender shall record in its Loan Accounts (i) the date and amount of each Loan made by such Lender, (ii) the interest rates applicable to each such Loan and the effective dates of all changes thereto, (iii) the Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan, (iv) the date and amount of each principal and interest payment on each Loan and (v) such other information as such Lender may determine is necessary for the computation of principal and interest payable to it by the Borrower hereunder; provided, however, that any failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s Obligations. The Loan Accounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error as to the matters noted therein. In addition to the Loan Accounts, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control.

(b) Revolving Loan Notes and Term Loan Notes. If any Lender so requests, such Lender’s Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as the case may be, shall be evidenced by a Revolving Loan Note or a Term Loan Note, as applicable, in the respective forms of Exhibit E-1 and Exhibit E-2. Each such Note shall be (i) payable to the order of such Lender, (ii) in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable,

-73-

(iii) dated the Effective Date or such later date upon which such Person becomes a Lender hereunder and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to record on the schedule annexed to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Note or Term Loan Note, as applicable, the date and amount of each Revolving Loan or Term Loan, as the case may be, made by such Lender and of each payment or prepayment of principal thereon made by the Borrower, and agrees that all such notations shall be conclusive absent manifest error with respect to the matters noted; provided, however, that any failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s Obligations. The Borrower further authorizes each Lender to attach to and make a part of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Note or Term Loan Note, as applicable, continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary.

(c) Swing Line Notes. The Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced, at the request of the Swing Line Lender, by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit F (individually, a “Swing Line Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender, (ii) in the amount of the Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans, (iii) dated the Effective Date and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed.

Section 2.09. Loan Fundings.

(a) Lender Funding and Disbursement to the Borrower. Each Revolving Lender shall, (i) before 11:00 a.m. on the date of the initial Revolving Loan Borrowing (if the initial Revolving Loan Borrowing occurs on the Effective Date) and (ii) before 1:00 p.m. on the date of each other Revolving Loan Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Schedule IV of the Disclosure Letter, in same day or immediately available funds, such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such Borrowing. Each Term Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. on the date of the Term Loan Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Schedule IV of the Disclosure Letter, in same day or immediately available funds, such Lender’s ratable share of such Borrowing based on such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 3.01), the Administrative Agent shall promptly make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Rabobank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date of a Revolving Loan Borrowing there are Swing Line Loans and/or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to the Borrower as provided above.

(b) Lender Failure to Fund. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that such Lender has made or will make such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in

-74-

accordance with Section 2.09(a), and the Administrative Agent may on such date, in reliance upon such assumption, disburse or otherwise credit to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Lender does not make the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of any Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of such Borrowing, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, interest which shall accrue on such amount from the date of such Borrowing until such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at rates equal to (i) the daily Federal Funds Rate during the period from such date through the third day thereafter and (ii) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans thereafter. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Section 2.09(b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error with respect to such amount. If the amount of any Lender’s Loan to be made as part of any Borrowing is not paid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after the date of such Borrowing, the Borrower shall repay such amount to the Administrative Agent, on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was disbursed to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

(c) Lenders’ Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing or to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan as part of such Borrowing or fund its participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, but no Lender shall be obligated in any way to make any Loan or fund any participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans which another Lender has failed or refused to make or otherwise be in any way responsible for the failure or refusal of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing or to fund any participation required to be funded by such other Lender.

Section 2.10. Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) Borrowings, Commitment Reductions. Except as otherwise provided herein:

(i) Each Revolving Loan Borrowing and reduction of the Revolving Loan Facility shall be made or shared among the Revolving Lenders pro rata according to their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares;

(ii) Each payment of principal of Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among the Lenders which made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans then owed to such Lenders;

(iii) Each payment of interest on Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among the Lenders which made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to (A) the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans so made or funded by such Lenders and (B) the dates on which such Lenders so made or funded such Loans;

-75-

(iv) Each payment of Letter of Credit fees and Commitment Fees payable under Sections 2.02(i) and 2.05(b) shall be shared among the Revolving Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments (except for Defaulting Lenders) pro rata according to (A) their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares and (B) in the case of each Revolving Lender which becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder after the date hereof, the date upon which such Lender so became a Revolving Lender;

(v) Each payment of interest (other than interest on Loans) shall be shared among the Lenders and the Administrative Agent owed the amount upon which such interest accrues pro rata according to (A) the respective amounts so owed such Lenders and the Administrative Agent and (B) the dates on which such amounts became owing to such Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and

(vi) All other payments under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including fees paid in connection with any amendment, consent, waiver or the like) shall be for the benefit of the Person or Persons specified.

(b) Sharing of Payments. If any Lender, other than as elsewhere provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Loans and the L/C Obligations obtained by all Lenders entitled to such payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans and/or participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.11. Change of Circumstances.

(a) Inability to Determine Rates. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, (i) the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined for any Appropriate Lender due to the unavailability of funds in or other circumstances affecting the London interbank market (and such Lender shall so advise the Administrative Agent) or (ii) the rate of interest for such Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Appropriate Lender of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan (and such

-76-

Lender shall so advise the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice of such condition to the Borrower and the other Appropriate Lenders. After the giving of any such notice and until the circumstances giving rise to such condition no longer exist, the Borrower’s right to request the making of, or conversion to a new Interest Period for, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended. Any LIBOR Loans outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension shall be converted at the end of the then-current Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, as the case may be, unless such suspension has then ended.

(b) Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a result of amendment or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (a “Change of Law”) shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such Change of Law; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a “Change of Law” for all purposes hereunder, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a “Change of Law” for all purposes hereunder, to the extent enacted, adopted or issued after the Effective Date. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower’s right to request the making of, or conversion to a new Interest Period for, LIBOR Loans shall be terminated and (ii) the Borrower shall, at the request of such Lender, either (A) pursuant to Section 2.01(g), convert any such then-outstanding LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans at the end of the current Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or (B) immediately repay or convert any such LIBOR Loans if such Lender shall notify the Borrower that such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR Loans. Any conversion or prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Section 2.13. After any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such a Change of Law and until it is no longer unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan, all Revolving Loans of such Lender shall be Base Rate Loans.

(c) Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, any Change of Law:

(i) Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments by the Borrower to any Lender on such a LIBOR Loan or in respect to such a LIBOR Loan under this Agreement (except for changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of any Lender imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of a present or former connection (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the Transaction) between the Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such tax levy); or

-77-

(ii) Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve (excluding any Reserve Requirement or other reserve to the extent included in the calculation of the LIBOR Rate for any Loans), special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by any Lender for any LIBOR Loan; or

(iii) Shall impose on any Lender any other condition related to any LIBOR Loan or any of such Lender’s Commitments,

and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing, or maintaining any such LIBOR Loan or any of its Commitments or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder, then the Borrower shall from time to time, within five Business Days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts, submitted by such Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.11(c) shall survive the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. No Lender may establish or change its Euro-Dollar Lending Office with the result that the Borrower has greater payment obligations to such Lender than if such Lender chose another of its euro-dollar lending offices unless such Lender waives the Borrower’s liability to the extent of such greater payment obligations.

(d) Capital Requirements. If, after the date of this Agreement (i) any Change of Law affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a “Capital Adequacy Requirement”) and (ii) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Person which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Person, within five Business Days after demand of such Lender, such amounts as such Lender or such Person shall determine are necessary to compensate such Lender or such Person for the increased costs to such Lender or such Person of such increased capital. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs submitted by any Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.11(d) shall survive the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.12. Taxes on Payments.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or for the account of the Borrower hereunder, or in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding net income taxes (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection (other than a connection arising

-78-

solely as a result of the Transaction) between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such tax levy, impost or withholding or any Governmental Authority, political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein and any US federal taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under this Agreement being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under this Agreement or other Credit Documents to any Lender, (i) the Borrower shall make all such deductions or withholdings, (ii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority, taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender, as the case may be, have made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) to the extent that (A) such Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents to a Lender which is not organized under the laws of the US or a state thereof (including the District of Columbia) at the time such Lender becomes a party to the Credit Documents (or designates a new lending office outside the US or after becoming a party to the Credit Documents becomes organized under laws outside the US or a state thereof) or is attributable to such Lender’s failure or inability (other than as a result of a Change in Law) to comply with delivery of appropriate documentation in accordance with Section 2.12(e), except to the extent that (x) such Lender (or its Assignee Lender, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office outside the US or a state thereof (or at the time of assignment to the Assignee Lender), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Taxes or (y) such Lender is an Assignee Lender and/or Replacement Lender, as the case may be, becoming a party to the Credit Documents at the Borrower’s request. Subject to no continuing Event of Default, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender whose withholding obligations change such that a Lender is entitled to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Taxes as a result of a Change in Law after the Effective Date in accordance with Section 2.15 (unless such Lender confirms to the Borrower that it will not seek any such additional amounts) or (B) the obligation to pay such indemnity payment or additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with the provisions of Section 2.12(e) when applicable.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority or taxing authority in accordance with applicable law, and indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless from any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, intangible, property, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from the delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the

-79-

full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including Governmental Charges, penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses, other than to the extent arising as a result of the Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Tax Receipt. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

(e) Withholding Exemption Certificates. Within 30 days after becoming a party hereto and on or before the date, if any, such Lender (or participant, as applicable) changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by Administrative Agent or the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so): (i) each Lender that is a US Person that is not a “domestic” corporation (as defined in IRC Section 7701) shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with one original US Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an officer, and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (ii) each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the US shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with either: (A) two original US Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an officer, and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or (B) a certificate that it is not (x) a “bank” (as defined in IRC Section 881(c)(3)(A)), (y) a 10% shareholder (within the meaning of IRC Section 871(h)(3)(B)) of the Borrower or (z) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of IRC Section 864(d)(4)), and two original US Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an officer, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (iii) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to US federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender shall deliver such

-80-

new forms and documents prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms or other documents referred to in this Section 2.12, or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms or other documents delivered by such Lender. Such Lender shall promptly provide written notice to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or other document (or any other form of certification adopted by the US Internal Revenue Service for such purpose). Each Lender providing one or more forms or certificates pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) hereby represents, covenants and warrants the accuracy of the information provided therein.

(f) Tax Returns. Nothing contained in this Section 2.12 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the rights of each Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, each Lender shall be under no obligation to claim credit, relief, remission or repayment from or against its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of the amount of such deduction or withholding in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes (or a credit therefor) as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or any such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or any such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.12(g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h) Mitigation Obligation. If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.12, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 in the future and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in an economic, legal or regulatory way. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

-81-

Section 2.13. Funding Loss Indemnification. If the Borrower shall (a) repay, prepay or convert any LIBOR Loan on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor (whether a scheduled payment, an optional prepayment or conversion, a mandatory prepayment or conversion, a payment upon acceleration or otherwise), (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR Loan for which a Notice of Borrowing has been delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise) or (c) fail to convert any Loans into LIBOR Loans in accordance with a Notice of Conversion delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after demand by any Lender, reimburse such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from all costs and losses incurred by such Lender as a result of such repayment, prepayment, conversion or failure. The Borrower understands that such costs and losses may include losses incurred by a Lender as a result of funding and other contracts entered into by such Lender to fund a LIBOR Loan. Each Lender demanding payment under this Section 2.13 shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of costs and losses for which demand is made, which certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount demanded. Such a certificate so delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.13 shall survive the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.14. Security.

(a) Security Documents. The Secured Obligations, together with the Guarantees thereof by the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors, shall be secured by the Liens created by and as specified in the Security Documents; provided that no subsidiary of CBII shall guarantee, or grant any Lien to secure, any Secured Obligations of CBII; and provided, further, that each document or instrument required to be filed, registered, or recorded to register or perfect security interests in Non-US jurisdictions shall be limited to those jurisdictions in which any CBII Entity generates Significant Revenue; and provided, further, that (A) no filings, registrations, or recordings shall be undertaken in those Non-US jurisdictions where in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion the value of the Collateral pledged as security for the Secured Obligations is not materially significant in relation to the costs of the filings, registrations, or recordings, (B) the Equity Securities of Landec shall not be required to be pledged as security for the Secured Obligations and (C) as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no lock box, blocked account, dominion of funds arrangements, and/or control agreements shall be required in respect of the Collateral pledged as security for the Secured Obligations (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.06(c)(iii)).

(b) Lender Rate Contracts. So long as the terms thereof are in compliance with this Agreement (or if such terms are not in compliance with this Agreement solely because such Lender Rate Contract was entered into for speculative purposes, so long as such Lender Rate Contract counterparty received a representation from the relevant Borrower Entity in connection with such Lender Rate Contract that it was not speculative and such Lender Rate Contract counterparty had no reasonable basis to believe that such representation was not true at the time it was entered into), each Lender Rate Contract shall be secured (but on a silent basis, so that

-82-

notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, no Lender Rate Contract counterparty shall be able to take any action in respect of the Collateral nor instruct the Required Lenders to take any action in respect of the Collateral) by the Lien of the Security Documents, unless (i) arrangements have been made for the Lender Rate Contract Obligations under such Lender Rate Contract to be secured by a secured credit facility refinancing the Facilities or (ii) other replacement collateral equivalent in nature and value (as reasonably determined by the Borrower and the applicable Lender Rate Contract counterparty) supporting the Lender Rate Contract Obligations is provided.

(c) Further Assurances. Each of CBII and the Borrower shall deliver, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each Pledged Person to deliver, to the Administrative Agent, and, if applicable, to execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register or re-register such additional security agreements, mortgages, trust deeds, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, pledge agreements, guarantee agreements, and other instruments, agreements, certificates, opinions and documents (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and, as applicable, fixture filings) as the Administrative Agent may request to effectuate the terms under and in accordance with the Security Documents and thereby to:

(i) (A) grant, maintain, protect and evidence security interests and Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent, (B) perfect security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent that may be perfected by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or, as applicable, fixture filings (but no crop, timber, mineral, or other similar filings) in the appropriate jurisdictions, and (C) perfect security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent that may be perfected by filing the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreement (or the short form security documents attached thereto) in the appropriate indexes of the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, in each case for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, in any or all present and future property of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties which would constitute Collateral under and in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents, prior to the Liens or other interests of any Person, except to the extent Permitted Liens have priority as expressly permitted hereunder; and

(ii) otherwise establish, maintain, protect and evidence the rights provided to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, under and in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents;

provided, however, that with respect to the Collateral, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any of the Security Documents (and recognizing the supremacy of this proviso over any conflicting provision of this Agreement in respect of the Collateral or any Security Document), the parties to this Agreement covenant and agree that: (A) no filings, registrations, or recordings shall be undertaken in those Non-US jurisdictions where the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that the value of the Collateral pledged as security for the Secured Obligations is not materially significant in relation to the costs of the filings, registrations, or recordings, (B) the Equity Securities of Landec shall not be required to be pledged as security for the Secured Obligations, (C) as long as no Event of Default

-83-

has occurred and is continuing, no lock box, blocked account, dominion of funds arrangements, and/or control agreements shall be required in respect of the Collateral pledged as security for the Secured Obligations (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.06(c)(iii)), (D) regardless of whether this Agreement or any other Credit Document requires the Lenders to deliver one or more Security Documents to perfect a Lien, the only Security Documents that are in fact required to be delivered are those that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines are necessary or desirable in order to perfect a Lien on that portion of the Collateral on which this Agreement obligates the Loan Parties to provide a perfected first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens having priority as expressly permitted hereunder), which is and shall be limited to (v) all now owned and hereafter acquired tangible and intangible personal property assets of CBII, the Borrower, and the US Subsidiaries in which a security interest (1) may be perfected by filing financing statements or, as applicable, fixture filings (but no crop, timber, mineral, or other similar filings) in the applicable filing offices, (2) may be perfected by filing the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreement (or the short form security documents attached thereto) in the appropriate indexes of the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or (3) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.06(c)(iii), may be perfected by lock box, blocked account dominion of funds arrangement, and/or control agreements as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders, (w) the Trademarks owned by the Borrower or any other US Subsidiary in the US (which Trademarks owned by the Borrower constitute all material Trademarks consisting of trademarks), (x) those Trademarks described on Schedule 4.01(n) in the jurisdictions listed on such schedule, (y) the Pledged Equity Securities of the Pledged Persons pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreements and (z) the Pledged Intercompany Notes pledged pursuant to the Security Agreements and (E) on the terms of and subject to clauses (C) and (D) above, the representations, warranties, covenants, and other provisions of this Agreement and other Credit Documents shall, as applicable, be interpreted to recognize that the Liens are to be perfected in only the above-described portion of the Collateral. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, may take additional steps to perfect (and to require the Borrower to assist in perfecting) Liens on the Collateral.

(d) German, Polish and Dutch Parallel Security and Parallel Obligations. For the purposes of taking and ensuring the continuing validity of security under those Security Documents subject to the laws of (or to the extent affecting assets situated in) Germany, Poland or The Netherlands (the “Parallel Security”), the parties hereto agree that notwithstanding any contrary provision in any of the Credit Documents:

(i) the Borrower undertakes (such undertakings are referred to hereinafter as the “Parallel Obligations”) to pay to the Administrative Agent, without duplication and when due, amounts equal to all present and future amounts owing by the Borrower to any Secured Party;

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have its own independent right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to demand payment of the Parallel Obligations when due;

-84-

(iii) the Parallel Obligations shall not limit or affect the existence of the Secured Obligations to a Secured Party, for which such Secured Party shall have an independent right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to demand payment when due;

(iv) notwithstanding Sections 2.14(d)(ii) and 2.14(d)(iii), payment by the Borrower of its Parallel Obligations to the Administrative Agent shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the corresponding Secured Obligations owing to the relevant Secured Party and payment by the Borrower of its Secured Obligations to the relevant Secured Party shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the corresponding Parallel Obligations owing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent;

(v) the Parallel Obligations are owed to the Administrative Agent in its own name and not as agent or representative of any other Person nor as trustee and the Parallel Security shall secure the Parallel Obligations so owing; and

(vi) without limiting or affecting the Administrative Agent’s right to protect, preserve or enforce its rights under any Security Document, the Administrative Agent undertakes to each Secured Party not to exercise its rights in respect of the Parallel Obligations without the consent of the relevant Secured Party, to the extent required under this Credit Agreement.

(e) Release of Collateral. Upon termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Term Loan Commitments, the other Facilities, the Guarantees in respect thereof and all other Credit Documents and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than any Unaccrued Indemnity Claims), as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such Secured Obligations have not been accelerated, the Liens granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral shall be released.

Section 2.15. Replacement of the Lenders. If (a) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (b) any Lender shall suspend its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) or 2.11(b), (c) any Lender shall demand any payment under Sections 2.11(c), 2.11(d) or 2.12, (d) any Lender’s right to payment under Section 2.12 changes as a result of a Change in Law (unless such Lender confirms to the Borrower that it will not seek any additional amounts as a consequence of such Change in Law), (e) any Lender that is not the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Credit Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of all Lenders, (f) any Revolving Lender that is not the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Credit Document for which the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of all Revolving Lenders or (g) any Term Lender that is not the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Credit Document for which the consent of the Required Term Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of all Term Lenders, then the Administrative Agent (i) may replace such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), or cause such

-85-

Affected Lender to be replaced, or (ii) upon the written request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall replace such Affected Lender with an Eligible Assignee identified by the Borrower (the “Replacement Lender”) satisfying the requirements of an Assignee Lender under Section 8.05(c) (provided that at the time of the assignment, such Assignee Lender shall not be subject to the circumstances described in Section 2.15(a) through 2.15(g)), by having such Affected Lender sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this Section 2.15, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) to the Replacement Lender pursuant to Section 8.05(c); provided, however, that if the Borrower seeks to exercise such right as a result of a Lender request for payment under Section 2.12, it must do so within 120 days (180 days in respect to Borrower’s invoking any replacement right as a result of the occurrence of any event or events giving rise to a Lender’s right to payment under Section 2.12) after the Borrower first receives notice of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to such right, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to identify or locate a Replacement Lender for the Borrower (it being expressly agreed that in such circumstances it is the Borrower’s obligation to identify or locate a Replacement Lender). Upon receipt by any Affected Lender of a written notice from the Administrative Agent stating that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower is exercising the replacement right set forth in this Section 2.15, such Affected Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this Section 2.15, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) to the Replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and Section 8.05(c) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of such Affected Lender’s Loans so sold and assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and its ratable share of all fees to which it is entitled through the Assignment Date.

Section 2.16. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 8.04.

(b) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.06), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer and/or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer and/or the Swing Line Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower

-86-

may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Loans or funded participations in Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) Reallocation of Revolving Proportionate Shares to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 and Section 2.03, the Revolving Proportionate Share of each Non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Loan Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender.

(d) Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit. To the extent Fronting Exposure has not been reduced to $0 through the reallocation set forth in Section 2.16(c) hereof, promptly on demand by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Borrower shall, at the Borrower’s option, (i) cancel Letters of Credit or (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to the L/C Issuer (after giving effect to Section 2.16(c)) on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars). Any such cash collateral

-87-

shall be deposited in a separate account with the Administrative Agent, subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, as collateral (solely for the benefit of the L/C Issuer) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of outstanding L/C Obligations. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the L/C Issuer immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of any drawing under any Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Prepayment of Swing Line Loans. Promptly on demand by the Swing Line Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Borrower shall prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount of all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Swing Line Lender (after giving effect to Section 2.16(c)).

(f) Certain Fees. For any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender (i) shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.05 (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any letter of credit commissions pursuant to Section 2.02(i) otherwise payable to the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral or other credit support arrangements satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.16(d), but instead, the Borrower shall pay to the Non-Defaulting Lenders the amount of such letter of credit commissions in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving Proportionate Share allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(c), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account (unless the Borrower shall have Cash Collateralized the Fronting Exposure of such L/C Obligations, in which case, such amount shall be retained by the Borrower).

(g) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Proportionate Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.16(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall have received any amounts due them pursuant to Section 2.13 as a result of the sale of any LIBOR Loans; and provided, still further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

-88-

Section 2.17. Increase in Revolving Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Loans. The Borrower may, on any Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or borrow one or more additional term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) by delivering an Increase Request substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit S or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the desired effective date of such increase or the making of such term loan(s) (the “Increase”) identifying an additional Lender(s), which additional Lender(s) shall, to the extent such consent would be required under Section 8.05, in the case of an additional Lender providing a Revolving Loan Commitment, be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or additional Revolving Loan Commitments or Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, for existing Lender(s)) and the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment (or additional amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment(s)) or Incremental Term Loan Commitment (or additional amount of its Incremental Term Loan Commitment(s)), as applicable; provided, however, that (i) any such Increase must first be offered to existing Lenders on the terms available to the Borrower under any financial proposal or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Increase prior to being offered to any additional Lender (provided that the failure of any Lender to respond to any request for an Increase within 5 Business Days following its receipt thereof shall be deemed a refusal by such Lender), (ii) the aggregate amount of all such Increases shall not exceed $50,000,000, (iii) any such Increase shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of the effective date of the Increase, (v) the Borrower shall be in compliance on a pro forma basis with all covenants set forth in Sections 5.02(a) and 5.02(b) and in pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenants, and (vi) all representations and warranties contained in Section 4 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless any such representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such Increase. The effective date (the “Increase Date”) of the Increase shall be agreed upon by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender(s) providing such Increase. With respect to an Increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments as described above, on the Increase Date, the new Lender(s) (or, if applicable, existing Lender(s)) shall advance Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient such that after giving effect to such advance(s) or loan(s) and the prepayment of Loans by any Lender(s) whose commitment is not increased, each Lender shall have outstanding its Revolving Proportionate Share of Revolving Loans. It shall be a condition to such effectiveness that if any LIBOR Loans are outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility on the date of such effectiveness, such LIBOR Loans shall be deemed to be prepaid on such date (to the extent necessary to allocate such outstanding LIBOR Loans in accordance with the Revolving Proportionate Share of each Lender after giving effect to the related Increase) and the Borrower shall pay any amounts owing to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 hereof. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent relating to any Increase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment or make Incremental Term Loans and no Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment or make Incremental Term Loans.

-89-

The Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans, (b) Incremental Term Loans shall have (i) a final maturity date no earlier than the Term Loans and (ii) a weighted average life not less than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans, provided that, except as set forth above, the terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term Loans (including interest rates applicable thereto) shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans. If the proposed applicable margin on the Incremental Term Loans is greater than the applicable margin set forth in the Term Loan Pricing Grid by more than 50 basis points, the applicable margin set forth in the Term Loan Pricing Grid shall be increased to the extent necessary such that the applicable margin on the Incremental Term Loans is exactly 50 basis points greater than the applicable margin for the Term Loans set forth in the Term Loan Pricing Grid.

Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and increases in Revolving Loan Commitment shall become Commitments (or in the case of an increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment to be provided by an existing Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Loan Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17.

(s) Labor Matters. There are no disputes presently subject to grievance procedure, arbitration or litigation under any of the collective bargaining agreements, or employment contracts to which any Significant Party is a party, and there are no strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or slowdowns, or, to the best of the knowledge of any of CBII’s or the Borrower’s officers or directors, after Due Inquiry, jurisdictional disputes occurring or threatened which in any such case alone or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(t) No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2010, there has not been any Material Adverse Change.

All projections furnished by the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby have been based upon reasonable estimates and assumptions and neither CBII nor the Borrower has any reason to believe that such estimates and assumptions were not reasonable at the date the projections were furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

None of the Significant Parties is in default in the observance or performance of any of its obligations under the Material Documents and each Significant Party has taken all action required to be taken as of the Effective Date to keep unimpaired its rights thereunder, except where such default or impairment could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No brokerage or other fee, commission or compensation is to be paid by the Lenders with respect to the extensions of credit contemplated hereby as a result of any agreement entered into by CBII or the Borrower, and the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against any such claims for brokerage fees or commissions and to pay all expenses including attorney’s fees incurred by the Lenders in connection with the defense of any action or proceeding brought to collect any such brokerage fees or commissions.

(a) Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Any reference to the Lead Arranger, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Lead Arranger and Co-Bookrunner or the Syndication Agent in any of the Credit Documents shall be solely for titular purposes and Rabobank, as the Lead Arranger, Wells Fargo, as the Syndication Agent, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as Co-Lead Arranger and Co-Bookrunner, Bank of America, N.A., as a Co-Documentation Agent, RB International Finance (USA) LLC, as a Co-Documentation Agent, and ING Capital LLC, as a Co-Documentation Agent, shall not have any duties, responsibilities or obligations or any liabilities under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents and any amendments, consents, waivers or any other actions taken in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall not require the consent of the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents or the Co-Managing Agents in such respective capacities. The Administrative Agent shall not (i) have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, (ii) be a trustee for any Lender or (iii) have any fiduciary duty to any Lender. Notwithstanding anything

-135-

to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any applicable Governmental Rule. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any CBII Entity contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall be responsible to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to the Credit Documents as shall be directed by the Required Lenders. Each of the Secured Parties hereby appoints the administrative agent for the Lenders (or any successor appointed in accordance with Section 7.06) to act as its agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) with respect to all matters relating to the Security Documents and Rabobank, as administrative agent for the Lenders as of the Effective Date, hereby accepts such appointment.

(b) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Revolving Lenders to act for the L/C Issuer with respect thereto; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article VII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by them or proposed to be issued by them and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article VII included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall be released from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB).

Section 7.02. Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile or telex) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care. As to any other matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting, upon instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other requisite Lenders as may be required by Section 8.04) and shall

-136-

in all cases be fully protected by the Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other requisite Lenders as may be required by Section 8.04), and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other requisite Lenders as may be required by Section 8.04) and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

Section 7.03. Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless the Administrative Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrower, referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary contained herein, the order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised (including the enforcement by any Lender of its Note) shall be determined by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion.

Section 7.04. Indemnification.

(a) Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, and to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, in accordance with each Lender’s ratable share (determined as provided below), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or in continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. For purposes of this Section 7.04(a), each Lender’s ratable share of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding at such time and owing to such Lender and (ii) such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share.

(b) Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, and to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to indemnify the L/C Issuer, ratably in accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred

-137-

by or asserted against the L/C Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided, however, that no Revolving Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from an L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The L/C Issuer shall be fully justified in refusing to take or in continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Revolving Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

(c) The obligations of each Lender under this Section 7.04 shall survive the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and any Lender ceasing to be a party to this Agreement (with respect to events which occurred prior to the time such Lender ceased to be a Lender hereunder).

Section 7.05. Non-Reliance. Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the business, prospects, management, financial condition and affairs of the CBII Entities and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors, in whatever capacity, shall (a) be required to keep any Lender informed as to the performance or observance by any Loan Party of the obligations under this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of any CBII Entity; (b) have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning any CBII Entities which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent (whether communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent), except for notices, reports and other documents and information delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder; (c) be responsible to any Lender for (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any CBII Entity or any officer, employee or agent of any CBII Entity in this Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Credit Document, (iii) the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or the validity or perfection of any of the liens or security interests intended to be created by the Credit Documents or (iv) any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (d) be liable for any circumstance, action, or failure to act in the nature described in clauses (a) through (c) above.

-138-

Section 7.06. Resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign as to any or all of the Facilities at any time by giving 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent may be removed as to all of the Facilities at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent as to such of the Facilities as to which the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed, which successor Administrative Agent, if not a Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have no right to approve a successor Administrative Agent if a Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from the duties and obligations thereafter arising hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Rabobank may not be removed as Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders unless Rabobank shall also simultaneously be replaced and fully released as “L/C Issuer” and “Swing Line Lender” hereunder pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Rabobank.

(b) Any resignation by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 7.07. Collateral Matters.

(a) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by each Secured Party, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Secured Party, and without the obligation to take any such action, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or any Security Document which may from time to time be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens of the Security Documents.

(b) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release (and to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and agreements as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary to release) any Lien granted to or

-139-

held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral and any guarantee of the Secured Obligations (i) upon termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Term Loan Commitments and the full Cash Collateralization in an amount equal to the then outstanding L/C Obligations and the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, including all other non-contingent Secured Obligations payable under this Agreement and under the other Credit Documents and the Lender Rate Contract Obligations (unless (i) arrangements have been made for the Lender Rate Contract Obligations under such Lender Rate Contract to be secured by a secured credit facility refinancing the Facilities or (ii) the provision of other replacement collateral equivalent in nature and value has been made (as reasonably determined by the Borrower and the applicable Lender Rate Contract counterparty) to support the Lender Rate Contract Obligations); (ii) constituting property of the Loan Parties which is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in connection with any transaction not prohibited by this Agreement or the Credit Documents; (iii) constituting property leased to the Significant Parties under an operating lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or which will concurrently expire and which has not been and is not intended by the Significant Parties to be, renewed or extended; (iv) consisting of an instrument, if the Indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full; (v) if approved or consented to by those of the Secured Parties required by Section 8.04 or (vi) which is not required by the terms of this Agreement. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.07.

Section 7.08. The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with the any CBII Entity and its Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder. With respect to Loans, if any, made by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender, the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, and the terms “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender.

Section 7.09. Appointment of Supplemental Collateral Agent.

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Credit Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Credit Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Administrative Agent appoint an additional individual or institution

-140-

as a separate trustee, co-trustee, collateral agent, collateral sub-agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein as a “Supplemental Collateral Agent”).

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Credit Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article VII and of Section 8.04 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be reasonably required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Loan Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.01. Notices.

(a) Notices Generally. Except as otherwise provided herein, including Section 8.01(b), all notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon CBII, the Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be in writing and faxed, mailed or delivered, if to the Borrower or to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, at its respective facsimile number, e-mail address (only in respect of any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection and Notice of Conversion), or address set forth in Schedule IV of the Disclosure Letter, if to any Lender, at the address or facsimile number specified for such Lender to the Administrative Agent (or to such other facsimile number, e-mail address, or address for any party as indicated in any notice given by that party to the Administrative Agent). All such notices and communications shall be effective (i) when sent by an overnight courier service of recognized

-141-

standing, on the second Business Day following the deposit with such service; (ii) when mailed, first class postage prepaid and addressed as aforesaid through the United States Postal Service, upon receipt; (iii) when delivered by hand, upon delivery; and (iv) when sent by facsimile or e-mail transmission, upon confirmation of receipt; provided, however, that any notice delivered to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender under Article II shall not be effective until actually received by such Person. Additionally, notwithstanding the obligation of the Borrower to send written confirmation of any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection and Notice of Conversion made by e-mail transmission if and when requested by the Administrative Agent, in the event that the Administrative Agent agrees to accept a Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection or Notice of Conversion made by e-mail transmission, such e-mail transmission of Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection or Notice of Conversion shall be binding on the Borrower whether or not written confirmation is sent by Borrower or requested by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may act prior to the receipt of any requested written confirmation, without any liability whatsoever, based upon e-mail notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower or its agents. The Administrative Agent’s records of the terms of any e-mail Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection or Notice of Conversion shall be conclusive on Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Notices of Borrowing, Conversion and Interest Period Selection. Each Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion and Notice of Interest Period Selection shall be given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent’s office located at the address referred to above during the Administrative Agent’s normal business hours; provided, however, that any such notice received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed received by the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. In any case where this Agreement authorizes notices, requests, demands or other communications by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to be made by telephone or facsimile, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may conclusively presume that anyone purporting to be a person designated in any incumbency certificate or other similar document received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender is such a person.

(c) IntraLinks.

(i) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may make any material delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, as well as any amendments, waivers, consents, and other written information, documents, instruments and other materials relating to any of the CBII Entities, or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement (excluding any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion or Notice of Interest Period Selection), the Credit Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on an electronic delivery system (which may be provided by the Administrative Agent, an Affiliate, or any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent), such as IntraLinks, or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (A) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality

-142-

and other risks associated with such distribution, (B) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (C) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sufficiency, or sequencing of the Communications posted on the Platform. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates expressly disclaim with respect to the Platform any liability for errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading, delays in posting or delivery, or problems accessing the Communications posted on the Platform and any liability for any losses, costs, expenses or liabilities that may be suffered or incurred in connection with the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

(ii) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notification”) specifying that any Communication has been posted to the Platform shall for purposes of this Agreement constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information, documents or other materials comprising such Communication. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify, on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address (or e-mail addresses) to which a Notification may be sent (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (B) that any Notification may be sent to such e-mail address.

Section 8.02. Expenses. The Borrower shall pay on demand, whether or not any Credit Event occurs hereunder, (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable travel expenses and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses (of one outside counsel and if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the facilities provided hereunder, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of, and the exercise of its duties under, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of amendments and waivers hereunder and thereunder and (b) all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of any of the Secured Obligations or in preserving any of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights and remedies (including all such fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “workout” or restructuring affecting the Credit Documents or the Secured Obligations or any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, including any proceeding or action commenced by the Administrative Agent or any Lender seeking relief from the automatic or similar stay in effect under any Debtor Relief Law, involving any Significant Party). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.02 shall survive the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.03. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Lenders and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, trustees and advisors (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,

-143-

damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements, or expenses of any kind or nature and from any suits, claims or demands (including in respect of or for attorneys’ fees and other expenses) arising on account of or in connection with any matter or thing or action or failure to act by Indemnitees, or any of them, arising out of or relating to (a) the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or related thereto, including the making of any Loans and any use by the Borrower of any proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, (b) any Environmental Damages and (c) any claims for brokerage fees or commissions (other than any committed to be paid in writing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) in connection with the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or in connection with the Borrower’s failure to conclude any other financing, and to reimburse each Indemnitee on demand for all legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.03 shall obligate the Borrower to protect, indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Indemnitee against any claim (i) to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) solely between or among Indemnitees. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that the Administrative Agent or any Lender believes is covered by this indemnity, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall give the Borrower notice of the matter and the Administrative Agent or such Lender may select its own counsel or request that the Borrower defend such suit, claim or demand, with legal counsel satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender as the case may be, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall not be required to so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have the right to defend, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any such matter that is in connection with a formal proceeding instituted by any Governmental Authority having authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s business or that of its Affiliates; and provided, further, that if the Borrower accepts the defense, it shall be authorized to select its own counsel, but the Borrower shall be required to coordinate with and keep the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and/or their counsel informed as to the progress of the defense (but in such situation the Borrower shall only be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of one separate counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for such matter being defended). The Administrative Agent or such Lender may also require the Borrower to defend the matter. Any failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to notify the Borrower of any such suit, claim or demand shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligations under this Section 8.03. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.03 shall survive the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. In the case of an action, suit, judgment, claim or demand to which the indemnity in this Section 8.03 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such action, suit, judgment, claim or demand is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors, any Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the Transaction is consummated.

Section 8.04. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be amended or waived, and any consent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be given, if such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing and is signed by the

-144-

Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders with the written approval of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that:

(a) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) amend this Section 8.04 or Section 2.17 or any other Section of this Agreement providing for voting percentages or (ii) amend any of the definitions of Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders or Required Term Lenders must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all Lenders affected thereby;

(b) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender (other than any increases pursuant to Section 2.17), (ii) extend the Maturity Date for any Facility, (iii) extend any date fixed for any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loans or any fees or other amounts payable for the account of any Lender hereunder, (iv) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing or any fees or other amounts for the account of any Lender hereunder must be in writing and signed by each affected Lender;

(c) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would change the pro rata treatment of Lenders under Section 2.10(a), must be in writing and signed by each affected Lender and the Required Lenders;

(d) Any amendment, waiver or consent which changes the order of application of proceeds of Collateral set forth in Section 6.03 or which changes the order of application of any reduction in the Commitments or any prepayment of Loans among the Facilities from the application thereof set forth in the applicable provisions of Section 2.04 or 2.06, respectively, in any manner that adversely affects the Lenders under a Facility must be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and (i) to the extent the Lenders under the Revolving Loan Facility are adversely affected, the Required Revolving Lenders and (ii) to the extent the Lenders under the Term Loan Facility are adversely affected, the Required Term Lenders;

(e) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender;

(f) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it must be in writing and signed by each affected L/C Issuer;

(g) Any consent relating to the sale or other disposition of any Key Assets must be in writing and signed by the Lenders;

(h) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would, except as permitted pursuant to this Agreement, (i) release one or more Guarantors (or otherwise limit such Guarantors’ liability with respect to the Secured Obligations under the applicable Guarantee Agreements except as may be required by the law of its applicable jurisdiction of organization) if such release or limitation is in respect of all or substantially all of the value of the Parent Guarantee Agreement

-145-

and the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreements, or (ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, must be in writing and signed by the Lenders;

(i) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would waive any of the conditions specified in Section 3.02 must be in writing and signed by the Required Revolving Lenders;

(j) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent must additionally be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent; and

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended and such Lender’s Loans may not be extended or have the principal or interest reduced or forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Lender.

No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder. Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 8.05. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, to the extent required by Section 8.04, the requisite Lenders. Any assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.

(b) Participations. Any Lender may, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or Administrative Agent, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in all or a portion of any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this Section 8.05(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes for all purposes under this Agreement and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any such sale is effected may require the selling Lender to obtain

-146-

the consent of the Participant in order for such Lender to agree in writing to any amendment, waiver or consent of a type specified in Section 8.04(b)(iii), 8.04(b)(iv), or 8.04(g) but shall not otherwise require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of such Participant to any other amendment, waiver or consent hereunder. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are not paid when due (whether upon acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any other Credit Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents; provided, however, that (i) no Participant shall exercise any rights under this sentence without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (ii) no Participant shall have any rights under this sentence which are greater than those of the selling Lender and (iii) such rights of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share the payment so obtained with all of the Lenders as provided in Section 2.10(b). The Borrower also agrees that any Lender which has transferred any participating interest in its Commitment or Loans shall, notwithstanding any such transfer, be entitled to the full benefits accorded such Lender under Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13, as if such Lender had not made such transfer.

(c) Assignments.

(i) Any Lender may, at any time, sell and assign to any Lender or any Eligible Assignee (individually, an “Assignee Lender”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this Section 8.05(c), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) (such a sale and assignment to be referred to herein as an “Assignment”) pursuant to an assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H (an “Assignment Agreement”), executed by each Assignee Lender and such assignor Lender (an “Assignor Lender”) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, however, that:

(A) [Intentionally Omitted];

(B) Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment to any Assignee Lender which is not, immediately prior to such Assignment, a Lender hereunder, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund thereof; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(C) Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment to any Assignee Lender if, after giving effect to such Assignment, the Commitments or Loans of such Lender or such Assignee Lender would be less than $1,000,000 (except that (A) a Lender may make an Assignment which reduces its Commitment or Loans to

-147-

zero without the written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent except to the extent such written consent is required by clause (B) above or clause (D) below and (B) an Assignor Lender may make an Assignment to an Assignee Lender whereby after giving effect to such Assignment, the Commitment or Loans of such Lender or such Assignee Lender would be less than $1,000,000 without the written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent if the Assignee Lender is an Approved Fund of the Assignor Lender); and

(D) Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Revolving Lender may make any Assignment which does not assign and delegate an equal pro rata interest in such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loans, Revolving Loan Commitment and all other rights, duties and obligations of such Revolving Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Borrower’s consent in respect of any Assignment shall not be required until the syndication of the Facilities shall have been completed as separately agreed by and between the Lead Arranger and the Borrower; and (b) any Lender may, without diminishing or relieving it of its obligations hereunder, assign to a Conduit Lender its right to make Loans under this Agreement and such Conduit Lender in turn may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Sections 8.05(c)(i)(A) through 8.05(c)(i)(D). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy, Debtor Relief Law or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage, expense, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, or suits of any kind whatsoever arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(iii) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of each Assignment Agreement and payment of the fee referred to in Section 8.05(e), from and after the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, (A) each Assignee Lender thereunder shall be a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and Loans as set forth in such Assignment Agreement (in addition to any Commitment and Loans theretofore held by it) and shall have the rights, duties and obligations of such a Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and (B) the Assignor Lender thereunder shall be a Lender to the extent of any remaining Commitment or Loans held by such Lender after giving effect to such Assignment Agreement or, if the Commitment and Loans of the Assignor Lender have been reduced to $0, the Assignor Lender shall cease to be a Lender and to have any obligation to make any Loan; provided, however, that any such Assignor Lender which ceases to be a Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of any provision of this Agreement which by its terms survives the

-148-

termination of this Agreement. Each Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend the Register to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of each Assignee Lender, the deletion of each Assignor Lender which reduced its Commitment and Loans to $0 and the resulting adjustment of Commitment and Loans arising from the purchase by each Assignee Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of an Assignor Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to each Assignment Agreement, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for a surrendered Note, if any, of the Assignor Lender thereunder, a new Note to the order of each Assignee Lender thereunder that requests such a note (with each new Note to be in an amount equal to the Commitment or Loans assumed by such Assignee Lender) and, if the Assignor Lender is continuing as a Lender hereunder, a new Note to the order of the Assignor Lender if so requested by such Assignor Lender (with the new Note to be in an amount equal to the Commitment or Loans retained by it). Each such new Note shall be dated the Effective Date (but with a notation of the date through which interest is paid), and each such new Note shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. The Notes surrendered by the Assignor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “Replaced”. Each Assignee Lender which was not previously a Lender hereunder and which is not incorporated under the laws of the US or a state thereof shall, within three Business Days of becoming a Lender, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of US Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or successor applicable form), as the case may be.

(d) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to on Schedule IV of the Disclosure Letter a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment or Loans of each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Registration. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an Assignor Lender and an Assignee Lender (and, to the extent required by Section 8.05(c), by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) together with payment to the Administrative Agent by Assignor Lender of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (it being understood that, subject to the immediately following sentence, such registration and processing fee shall be due and payable for each Assignment from an Assignor Lender to an Assignee Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment Agreement and (ii) on the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the registration and processing fee set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be due and payable if the Assignee Lender party to an Assignment Agreement is an Approved Fund of the Assignor Lender party thereto.

-149-

(f) Disclosure to Potential Participant or Assignee Lender. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the Credit Documents and any financial or other information relating to any CBII Entity to each other or to any potential Participant or Assignee Lender, subject to an agreement that the potential Participant or Assignee Lender shall keep such information confidential in accordance with their usual and customary business practices.

(g) Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks and Trustee.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, central bank or a bank in the farm credit banking system. No such assignment shall relieve the assigning Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that, unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 8.05, (A) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Credit Documents and (B) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Credit Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

Section 8.06. Setoffs by Lenders. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent but without prior notice to or consent of the Borrower, any such notice and consent being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable laws upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and apply against the Secured Obligations any amount owing from such Lender to the Borrower. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrower or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender at any prior time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 8.07. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person, other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns hereunder, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.

Section 8.09. Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE LEAD ARRANGER, THE SWING LINE LENDER, THE L/C ISSUER, THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT.

Final judgment against the Borrower in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 8.11 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue the Borrower in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon the Borrower in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. The Borrower agrees that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute adequate service of process in any such suit. The Borrower irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (a) any objection which it may have now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any court referred to in the first sentence above; (b) any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (c) its right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the State of New York to any court of the US; (d) any immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process; and (e) any right it may have to require the moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document to post security for the costs of the Borrower or to post a bond or to take similar action.

(b) In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

-152-

punitive, consequential, or indirect damages relating to any such matters under any theory of liability.

Section 8.15. Participations. All participations in the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to provisions hereof or otherwise, are intended to be “true sales” for purposes of financial reporting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140. Accordingly, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and any Lender that sells or is deemed to have sold a participation in the Secured Obligations (including any participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans and/or Loans (each, a “Participation Seller”) hereby agrees that if such Participation Seller receives any payment in respect of the Secured Obligations to which such participation relates through the exercise of setoff by such Participation Seller against the Borrower or any other obligor, then such Participation Seller agrees to promptly pay to the participating party in such participation such participant’s pro rata share of such setoff (after giving effect to any sharing with the Lenders under Section 2.10).

Section 8.16. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the US Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the Act.

Section 8.17. Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each Initial Lender shall become a party to this Agreement on the Effective Date by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.18. Lender Rate Contracts. It is understood and agreed that the rights and benefits under the Credit Documents of each Secured Party that is a party to a Lender Rate Contract but is not a Lender consist exclusively of such Secured Party’s right to share in payments and collections of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to determine the amount or the existence of any Lender Rate Contract Obligations. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections or termination or release by the Administrative Agent of any Liens thereunder, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due under any Lender Rate Contract unless such Secured Party has notified the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it at least five Business Days prior to such distribution, termination or release. Additionally, the Administrative Agent may disregard any such notice from a counterparty to a Lender Rate Contract if (i) arrangements have been made for the Lender Rate Contract Obligations under such Lender Rate Contract to be secured on a pari passu basis by a secured credit facility refinancing the Facilities or (ii) the Borrower and the applicable Lender Rate Contract counterparty confirm to the Administrative Agent that other replacement collateral equivalent in nature and value has or will be provided for such Lender Rate Contract.

-153-

Section 8.19. Waiver of Borrower’s Rights Under Farm Credit Act. The Borrower, having been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and, in particular, in connection with the waiver contained in this Section, does hereby voluntarily and knowingly waive, relinquish, and agree not to assert at any time, any and all rights that the Borrower may have or be afforded under the sections of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 designated as 12 U.S.C. Sections 2199 through 2202e and the implementing Farm Credit Administration regulations as set forth in 12 C.F.R. Sections 617.7000 through 617.7630, including those provisions which afford the Borrower certain rights, and/or impose on any lender to the Borrower certain duties, with respect to the collection of any amounts owing hereunder or the foreclosure of any liens securing any such amounts, or which require the Administrative Agent or any present or future Lender or participant to disclose to the Borrower the nature of any such rights or duties. This waiver is given by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of 12 C.F.R. Section 617.7010(c) to induce the Lenders to fund and extend to the Borrower the credit facilities described herein and to induce those Lenders which are Farm Credit System institutions to agree to provide such credit facilities commensurate with their individual commitments as they may exist from time to time.

Section 8.20. Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall supersede all provisions of the Original Credit Agreement as of such date. From and after the Effective Date, (a)(i) the commitments of those Lenders under the Original Credit Agreement that are continuing as Lenders under this Agreement (the “Continuing Lenders”) shall be amended as set forth in their Lender Addendum delivered pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the commitments of those “Lenders” under the Original Credit Agreement that are not continuing as Lenders under this Agreement (the “Non-Continuing Lenders”) shall automatically be terminated and cease to have any further force or effect without further action by any Person, and shall be replaced with the respective Commitments of such Continuing Lenders and of those Lenders party to this Agreement that were not “Lenders” under the Original Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “New Lenders”); (b) all outstanding “Loans” of the Non-Continuing Lenders shall be repaid in full (together with all interest accrued thereon and amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Original Credit Agreement in connection with such payment, and all fees accrued under the Original Credit Agreement through the Effective Date) on the Effective Date (and the Borrower shall pay to each Continuing Lender all amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Original Credit Agreement as if the outstanding Loans had been prepaid on the Effective Date); and (c) all outstanding “Loans” of the Continuing Lenders and all interests in outstanding “Letters of Credit” under the Original Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding as the initial Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder.

The Continuing Lenders and New Lenders each agree to make such purchases and sales of interests in the Loans and L/C Obligations outstanding on the Effective Date between themselves so that each Continuing Lender and New Lender is then holding its relevant Revolving Proportionate Share of outstanding Revolving Loans and risk participation interests in outstanding L/C Obligations based on their Revolving Loan Commitments as in effect after giving effect hereto and its proportionate share of the Term Loans based on their Term Loan Commitments as in effect after giving effect hereto (such purchases and sales shall be arranged through the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agrees to execute such further

-154-

instruments and documents, if any, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith), with all subsequent extensions of credit under this Agreement (including, without limitation, participations in respect of all Swing Loans and Letters of Credit) to be made in accordance with the respective Commitments of the Lenders from time to time party to this Agreement as provided herein. All references made to the Original Credit Agreement in any Loan Document or in any other instrument or document shall, without more, be deemed to refer to this Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates the Original Credit Agreement and is not intended to be or operate as a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Original Credit Agreement or the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower or any Guarantor evidenced or provided for thereunder.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CHIQUITA BRANDS L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of [            ] (the “Lender”) in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal amount of [                    ], or such lesser amount as may then constitute the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as defined below), at the times set forth in the Credit Agreement, but no later than the Termination Date for the Revolving Loan Facility.

This promissory note is secured by the Collateral upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Security Agreements and other Security Documents executed and delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

The transfer, sale or assignment of any rights under or interest in this promissory note is subject to certain restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement, including Section 8.05 thereof.

The Borrower shall pay all fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Lender in the enforcement or attempt to enforce any of the Borrower’s Obligations hereunder not performed when due.

Final judgment against the Borrower in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other manner provided by law.

- 5 -

Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest and Lien free from adverse claims in the Pledged Collateral securing the payment of the Secured Obligations for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties.

4.04. Except for those that have already been obtained, no authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory body, other than the UCC financing statements to be filed with the Secretary of State of the jurisdiction of such Pledgor’s organization or formation, is required either: (a) for the pledge by such Pledgor of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Pledge Agreement by such Pledgor or (b) for the exercise by the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties of any of the rights provided for in this Pledge Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement (except as may be required in connection with such disposition by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities).

Such Pledgor has full power and authority to enter into this Pledge Agreement and has the right (without the requirement of any consents from any Person other than those that have been obtained and are in full force and effect) to vote, pledge and grant a security interest and Lien in the Pledged Equity Securities as provided by this Pledge Agreement.

4.06. This Pledge Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Pledgor, enforceable against such Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by the effect of any applicable Debtor Relief Law or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or general principles of equity.

4.07. Schedule I to this Pledge Agreement is true and correct and complete in all material respects; and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledged Equity Securities set forth opposite such Pledgor’s name on Schedule I constitute, as of the date hereof, the number of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of each Pledged Company indicated on Schedule I, the percentage of each Pledged Company indicated on Schedule I and the Pledged Equity Securities (and other than Equity Securities constituting Equity Securities of the Pledged Company that are not be required by the Credit Agreement to be pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties) constitute all of the Equity Securities of any such Pledged Company owned by such Pledgor (and no Pledgor is the holder of any non-voting shares in any of the Pledged Companies except to the extent indicated on Schedule I); provided that each Pledgor’s representations and warranties in this Section 4.07 shall only apply to the extent that the information set forth in Schedule I applies to such Pledgor.

4.08. Except for the Pledged Equity Securities (and other than Equity Securities constituting Equity Securities of the Pledged Company that are not be required by the Credit Agreement to be pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties), there are no other Instruments, certificates, securities, warrants, options, outstanding subscriptions or other writings, or any Chattel Paper, evidencing or representing any interest in any Pledged Company.

ARTICLE V. COVENANTS.

So long as any of the Secured Obligations (other than Unaccrued Indemnity Claims) remain outstanding or any Credit Document in respect of the Secured Obligations is in effect or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding and until all of the Commitments in respect of the Revolving Loan Facility, the Swing Line Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Term Loan Facility shall have been terminated, each Pledgor agrees that unless the requisite Lenders required by the Credit Agreement shall have otherwise consented in writing, such Pledgor shall not take, and shall not permit any Pledged Company in which such Pledgor holds Equity Securities to take, any action which would cause the Borrower to be in violation or breach of any or all of the covenants contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees that it shall not:

5.01. mortgage, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise permit any Lien (whether as a result of a purchase money or title retention transaction, or other security interest, or otherwise) to exist on any of its assets or properties, whether real, personal or mixed, whether now owned or hereafter acquired in violation of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;

ARTICLE VII. VOTING RIGHTS; DIVIDENDS.

7.01. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, a Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement, the Guarantee Agreements or the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that such Pledgor shall not exercise or shall refrain from exercising any such right if such action or inaction would materially and adversely affect the value of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or be inconsistent with or violate any provisions of this Pledge Agreement, the Guarantee Agreements, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

7.02. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, a Pledgor shall be entitled to receive all dividends, distributions and payments paid from time to time in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement.

7.04. The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to a Pledgor, at the expense of the Pledgors, all such proxies and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7.01.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) all voting and other rights of a Pledgor to exercise the rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7.01 shall, at the option of the Collateral Agent, cease and become vested in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such rights in accordance with Article XIV and (b) all Cash dividends or other distributions payable in respect of the Pledged Collateral shall be paid to

- 8 -

ARTICLE VIII. TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIENS; ADDITIONAL INTERESTS.

8.01. Each Pledgor agrees that it will not (a) sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral, in violation of the Credit Agreement or this Pledge Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and the requisite Lenders required by the Credit Agreement, (b) create or permit to exist any Lien or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral in violation of the Credit Agreement or this Pledge Agreement, or (c) enter into any agreement or understanding that purports to or may restrict or inhibit the rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including the right of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to sell or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Collateral.

Upon the valid exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Pledge Agreement, and valid foreclosure on such Pledgor’s interest in such Pledged Company, the pledge, or any purchaser of such interest from the pledge, shall be substituted for the members as a member under the Organizational Documents of such Pledged Company, and such substituted member shall have full rights and powers as a member thereunder.

- 9 -

9.02. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, to be such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, may deem necessary or advisable to further perfect and protect the security interest or Lien granted hereby free from adverse claims, including to receive, endorse and collect, when and as permitted by Articles VII and XIV of this Pledge Agreement, all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

ARTICLE X. COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.

If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Collateral Agent itself may perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgors on a joint and several basis under Article XV.

ARTICLE XI. NO ASSUMPTION OF DUTIES; REASONABLE CARE.

The rights and powers granted to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, hereunder are being granted in order to preserve and protect the security interest and Lien of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties in and to the Pledged Collateral granted hereby free from adverse claims and shall not be interpreted to, and shall not, impose any duties on the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties in connection therewith. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility for: (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters; or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties are hereby released from all responsibility for any depreciation in or loss of value of the Pledged Equity Securities.

ARTICLE XII. SUBSEQUENT CHANGES AFFECTING PLEDGED COLLATERAL.

Each Pledgor represents to the Collateral Agent that such Pledgor has made its own arrangements for keeping informed of changes or potential changes affecting the Pledged Collateral (including rights to convert, rights to subscribe, payment of dividends, reorganization

- 10 -

or other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights), and each Pledgor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for informing such Pledgor of any such changes or potential changes or for taking any action or omitting to take any action with respect thereto. Each Pledgor covenants that it will not, except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and the requisite Lenders required by the Credit Agreement, sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral or create or permit to exist any Lien or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral.

ARTICLE XIII. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

13.01. The occurrence of an event or existence of a condition which under the Credit Agreement would constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall be an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”).

ARTICLE XIV. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.

14.01. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, shall, in addition to all other rights given by law or by this Pledge Agreement, the Guarantee Agreements, the Credit Agreement or otherwise, have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Pledged Collateral of a secured party under the UCC and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, may, without notice and at its option, transfer or register, and each Pledgor shall register or cause to be registered upon request therefor by the Collateral Agent, the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof on the books of the Pledged Company into the name of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent’s nominee(s). In addition, with respect to any Pledged Collateral which shall then be in or shall thereafter come into the possession or custody of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may sell or cause the same to be sold at any broker’s board or at public or private sale, in one or more sales or lots, at such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem best, for Cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and this Pledge Agreement. The purchaser of any or all Pledged Collateral so sold shall thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim, encumbrance or right of any kind whatsoever. Unless any of the Pledged Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is or becomes of a type sold on a recognized market, the Collateral Agent will give Pledgors reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof, or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made. Any sale of the Pledged Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, insurance companies, commercial finance companies, or other financial institutions disposing of property similar to the Pledged Collateral shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Any requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed to the Pledgors as provided in Section 17.01 at least 10 days before the time of the sale or disposition. Any other requirement of notice, demand or advertisement for sale is, to the extent permitted by law, waived. The Collateral Agent may, in its own name or in the name of a

- 11 -

designee or nominee, buy any of the Pledged Collateral at any public sale and, if permitted by applicable law, at any private sale. All expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) of, or incident to, the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof shall be recoverable from the Proceeds of the sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral. In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Pledged Collateral may be effected after an Event of Default, each Pledgor agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral by means of a private placement, restricting the prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In so doing, the Collateral Agent may solicit offers to buy the Pledged Collateral, or any part of it, for Cash, from a limited number of investors who might be interested in purchasing the Pledged Collateral, and if the Collateral Agent solicits such offers from not less than three such investors that are not affiliated with the Collateral Agent, then the acceptance by the Collateral Agent of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of the Pledged Collateral.

14.02. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of each Pledgor to exercise the rights which such Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the Pledged Collateral shall, at the option of the Collateral Agent, cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent.

14.03. Lender Rate Contracts shall be secured hereby on a silent basis. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Pledge Agreement or the Credit Agreement, no holders of Lender Rate Contracts shall be able to take any action in respect of the Pledged Collateral nor instruct the Collateral Agent to take any action in respect of the Pledged Collateral in its capacity as a holder of a Lender Rate Contract.

ARTICLE XV. EXPENSES.

15.01. Each Pledgor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, to the extent not paid promptly by the Borrower, (a) the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of their counsel, of any investment banking firm, business broker or other selling agent and of any other experts and agents retained by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, which the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties may incur in connection with the administration of this Pledge Agreement, and (b) the amount of any and all expenses, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of their counsel, of any investment banking firm, business broker or other selling agent and of any other experts and agents retained by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, which the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties may incur in connection with (i) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Pledged Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, hereunder or (iii) the failure by the Pledgors to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

15.02. If at any time hereafter, (a) whether upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or not, the Collateral Agent employs counsel to (i) prepare or consider amendments, waivers or

- 12 -

consents with respect to this Pledge Agreement, (ii) take action or make a response in or with respect to any legal or arbitral proceeding relating to this Pledge Agreement or relating to the Collateral or (iii) protect the Collateral or (b) whether upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or not, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party employs counsel to exercise any rights or remedies under this Pledge Agreement or with respect to the Collateral or to seek relief from the automatic or similar stay in effect under any Debtor Relief Law, then the Obligors agree to promptly pay upon demand any and all such costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, as applicable, all of which costs and expenses shall constitute Secured Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE XVI. SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE.

The obligations of each Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement are independent of the Secured Obligations or any other liabilities or obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Credit Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Pledgor to enforce this Pledge Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against such Pledgor or any other Loan Party or whether such Pledgor or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. All rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and the pledge, assignment and security interest hereunder, and all liabilities and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder, shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) any defenses it may now have or may hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other liabilities or obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect thereof or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Credit Document, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(d) any manner of application of any Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other liabilities or obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Credit Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

- 13 -

(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or other), operations, performance, assets, nature of assets, liabilities or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Pledgor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute this Pledge Agreement or any other Security Document, guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Pledgor or other grantor or surety with respect to the Secured Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Pledgor or any other Pledgor or a third party grantor of a security interest.

ARTICLE XVII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(d) Each Pledgor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Pledgor and without affecting the liability of such Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Pledgor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Pledgor or any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

(e) Each Pledgor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose to such Pledgor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.

(f) Each Pledgor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Documents and that the waivers set forth in Article XVI and this Section 17.09 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(h) Each Pledgor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other obligations owed to such Pledgor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Secured Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 17.09(h):

(i) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Each Pledgor may receive regularly scheduled payments from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party), and the Administrative Agent has delivered notice to CBII that such payments may not be made or received. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) and delivery of such notice, however, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, no Pledgor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

(ii) Prior Payment of Secured Obligations. In any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Pledgor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post-Petition Interest”)) before such Pledgor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(iii) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) and delivery by the Administrative Agent of the notice described in Section 17.09(h)(i), each Pledgor shall, if the Collateral Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Collateral Agent on account of the Secured

- 17 -

Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Pledgor under the other provisions of this Pledge Agreement.

(iv) Collateral Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) and delivery by the Administrative Agent of the notice described in Section 17.09(h)(i), the Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (A) in the name of each Pledgor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Secured Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest), and (B) to require each Pledgor (1) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (2) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Collateral Agent for application to the Secured Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest).

17.10. Authority of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, shall have and be entitled to exercise all powers hereunder which are specifically granted to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, may perform any of its duties hereunder or in connection with the Pledged Collateral by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of counsel concerning all such matters. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the other Secured Parties nor any director, officer, employee, lawyer, attorney or agent of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties shall be liable to any Pledgor for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the Collateral Agent nor the other Secured Parties be responsible for the validity, effectiveness or sufficiency hereof or of any document or security furnished pursuant hereto. The Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and their directors, officers, employees, lawyers, attorneys and agents shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document reasonably believed by it or them to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Each Pledgor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and any other Person from and against any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of lawyers, attorneys and paralegals (including, without duplication, reasonable charges of inside counsel)), claims and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties or such Person hereunder, unless such claim or liability shall be due to willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties, or such Person, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

17.11. Release; Termination of Pledge Agreement.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 17.07, this Pledge Agreement shall terminate upon the full and final payment and performance by each Pledgor of the Secured

- 18 -

Obligations and the termination of the Credit Documents, the Letters of Credit, the Lender Rate Contracts and all of the Commitments in respect of the Revolving Loan Facility, the Swing Line Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Term Loan Facility. At such time, the Collateral Agent shall, at the request, and the expense, of the Pledgors, reassign and redeliver to the Pledgors all of the Pledged Collateral hereunder which has not been sold, disposed of, retained or applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Such reassignment and redelivery shall be without warranty by or recourse to the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties, except as to the absence of any prior assignments by the Collateral Agent of its interest in the Pledged Collateral, and shall be at the expense of the Pledgors.

(b) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Pledged Collateral of any Pledgor in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, the Collateral Agent will, at such Pledgor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Pledgor such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Pledged Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that (i) at the time of such request and such release no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) such Pledgor shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least 10 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release describing the item of Pledged Collateral and the terms of the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a form of release for execution by the Collateral Agent and a certificate of such Pledgor to the effect that the transaction is in compliance with the Credit Documents and as to such other matters as the Collateral Agent may request and (iii) the proceeds of any such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition required to be applied, or any payment to be made in connection therewith, in accordance with Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement shall, to the extent so required, be paid or made to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the Collateral Agent when and as required under Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement.

This Pledge Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.

- 19 -

Nothing in this Section 17.13(b) shall affect the right of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue any Pledgor in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon any Pledgor in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. Each of the Pledgors agrees that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute adequate service of process in any such suit.

- 21 -

17.16. Limitation on Amount of Recovery in Event of Fraudulent Conveyance Issues. Each Pledgor, and by its acceptance of this Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Pledge Agreement and the obligations of each Pledgor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Pledge Agreement and the obligations of each Pledgor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Pledgors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of such Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

17.17. Joinder. In the event a party becomes a Pledgor (the “New Pledgor”) hereunder, pursuant to a Joinder Agreement, upon execution of such Joinder Agreement, the New Pledgor shall be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof to the same extent as though the New Pledgor had originally executed this Pledge Agreement. The addition of the New Pledgor shall not in any manner affect the Secured Obligations of the other Pledgors hereunder.

Each Pledgor and the Collateral Agent agree that the Collateral Agent’s security interest and Lien in the Pledged Equity Securities shall attach as of that date hereof.

17.20. Other Security; Marshaling.

(a) To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Pledged Collateral (including real property and securities owned by a Pledgor or any other Person), or by a guarantee agreement, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have the right to proceed against such other property, guarantee agreement or endorsement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have the right, in their sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, Liens, security interests or remedies the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall at any time thereafter pursue or take, or at any time relinquish, subordinate or modify with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or any of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ rights or the Secured Obligations under this Pledge Agreement, under any other of the Credit Documents or otherwise.

- 22 -

(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Pledged Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Pledge Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

17.21. Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Pledge Agreement, any other Credit Document or as provided by law, or any delay by the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties shall only be granted as provided herein. To the extent permitted by law, neither the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties, nor any party acting as attorney for the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under this Pledge Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties may have.

17.22. Assignment by the Secured Parties. Subject to Section 8.05(c) of the Credit Agreement, any of the Secured Parties may from time to time assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of such Secured Party under this Pledge Agreement in relation thereto.

17.24. Joint and Several Obligations of Pledgors.

(a) Each of the Pledgors is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Pledgors and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Pledgors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

- 23 -

(b) Each of the Pledgors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Pledgors with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations arising under this Pledge Agreement or the other Credit Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Pledgors without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) Notwithstanding anything provided in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 17.24, no Pledgor (other than CBII) shall be liable, directly or indirectly, for any Secured Obligations of CBII.

17.25. Lender Rate Contracts. So long as the terms thereof are in compliance with the Credit Agreement, each Lender Rate Contract shall be secured by the Lien of this Pledge Agreement to the extent, and, notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Pledge Agreement, only to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement, including Section 7.07 of the Credit Agreement. Such security shall be on a silent basis, so that, notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Pledge Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, no holders of Lender Rate Contracts shall be able to take any action in respect of the Collateral nor instruct the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders to take any action in respect of the Collateral.

17.26. Construction. This Pledge Agreement is the result of negotiations among, and has been reviewed by, the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and their respective counsel. Accordingly, this Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.

17.27. Release of Liability of Pledgor. In the event that all of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of one or more Pledgors is sold or otherwise disposed of (except to any of the CBII Entities) or liquidated in compliance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or liquidation are applied as permitted or required by the terms of the Credit Agreement, such Pledgor shall, upon consummation of such sale or other disposition, be released from this Pledge Agreement automatically and without further action and this Pledge Agreement shall, as to each such Pledgor, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood and agreed that the sale of one or more Persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the Equity Interests of any Pledgor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Pledgor for purposes of this Section 17.27).

[FORM OF] PARENT GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

THIS PARENT GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (this “Guarantee Agreement”) dated as of March 31, 2008 is made by CHIQUITA BRANDS INTERNATIONAL, INC., a New Jersey corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

RECITALS

A. The Guarantor is the parent, and owns as of the date hereof 100% of the outstanding equity, of CHIQUITA BRANDS L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”).

B. Pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement) by and among the Company, the Guarantor, each of the Lenders party thereto from time to time, Coöperative Centrale Raiffeisen – Boerenleenbank B.A., “Rabobank Nederland”, New York Branch, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), as Swing Line Lender, and as an L/C Issuer, and the other Persons party thereto, the Lenders are willing to make certain financial accommodations available to the Company from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof.

C. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to induce the Lenders to make financial accommodations to the Company as provided for in the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor has agreed to execute and deliver this Guarantee Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and the Lenders or Lenders’ Affiliates to enter into Lender Rate Contracts from time to time, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guarantee. (a) The Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Secured Obligations now or hereafter existing (including any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Secured Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Secured Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses

(including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guarantee Agreement or any other Credit Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Credit Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Company.

(b) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guarantee Agreement or any other Guarantee Agreement, the Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Credit Documents.

Section 2. Guarantee Absolute. The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor under or in respect of this Guarantee Agreement are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liabilities or obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Credit Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Company or any other Loan Party or whether the Company or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liabilities or obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Credit Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Credit Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other Guarantee Agreement, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed

-2-

Obligations or any other liabilities or obligations of any Loan Party under the Credit Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver any other Guarantee Agreement or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

This Guarantee Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 3. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guarantee Agreement and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.

(b) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guarantee Agreement and acknowledges that this Guarantee Agreement is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(c) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of the Guarantor or other rights of the Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the liabilities or obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

-3-

(d) The Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon the Guarantor and without affecting the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and the Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against the Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

(e) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose to the Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.

(f) The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 2 and this Section 3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 4. Subrogation. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor’s liabilities or obligations under or in respect of this Guarantee Agreement or any other Credit Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Company, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Company, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit and all Lender Rate Contracts shall have expired or been terminated and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement, (b) the applicable Termination Date and (c) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and all Lender Rate Contracts, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement thereafter arising. If (i) the Guarantor shall make payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in

-4-

cash, (iii) the applicable Termination Date shall have occurred and (iv) all Letters of Credit and all Lender Rate Contracts shall have expired or been terminated, the Secured Parties will, at the Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee Agreement.

Section 5. Taxes on Payments. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or for the account of the Guarantor hereunder, or in respect of this Guarantee Agreement or any other Credit Document, shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding net income taxes (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such tax, levy, impost or withholding or any Governmental Authority, political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under this Guarantee Agreement being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Guarantee Agreement or other Credit Documents to any Lender, (i) the Guarantor shall make all such deductions or withholdings, (ii) the Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority, taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) the sum payable by the Guarantor shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and such Lender, as the case may be, have made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5) the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, provided that the Guarantor shall not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 5(a) to the extent that (i) such Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents to a Lender which is not organized under the laws of the US or a state thereof (including the District of Columbia) at the time such Lender becomes a party to the Credit Documents (or designates a new lending office outside the US or after becoming a party to the Credit Documents becomes organized under laws outside the US or a state thereof) or is attributable to such Lender’s failure or inability (other than as a result of a Change in Law) to comply with delivery of appropriate documentation in accordance with Section 5(e) hereof, except to the extent that (x) such Lender (or its Assignee Lender, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office outside the US or a state thereof (or at the time of assignment to the Assignee Lender), to receive additional amounts from the Guarantor with respect to such Taxes or (y) such Lender is an Assignee Lender and/or Replacement Lender, as the case may be, becoming a party to the Credit Documents at the Company’s request.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Guarantor shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority or taxing authority in accordance with applicable law, and indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless from, any present or future stamp,

-5-

documentary, excise, intangible, property, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from the delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Guarantee Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnity. The Guarantor shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5, imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including Governmental Charges, penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses, other than to the extent arising as a result of the Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Tax Receipt. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes in respect of this Guarantee Agreement, the Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

(e) Withholding Exemption Certificates. Within 30 days after becoming a party hereto and on or before the date, if any, that any Lender (or participant, as applicable) changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by Administrative Agent or the Guarantor (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so): (i) each Lender that is a US Person that is not a “domestic” corporation (as defined in IRC Section 7701) shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor with one original US Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an officer, and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor and (ii) each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the US shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor with (A) either (1) two original US Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an officer, and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor or (2) a certificate that it is not (x) a “bank” (as defined in IRC Section 881(c)(3)(A)), (y) a 10% shareholder (within the meaning of IRC Section 871(h)(3)(B)) of the Guarantor or (z) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Guarantor (within the meaning of IRC Section 864(d)(4)), and (A) two original US Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an officer, and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor. Each Lender shall deliver such new forms and documents prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms or other documents referred to in this Section 5, or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms or other documents delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly provide written notice to each of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or other document (or

-6-

any other form of certification adopted by the US Internal Revenue Service for such purpose). Each Lender providing one or more forms or certificates pursuant to this Section 5(e) hereby represents, covenants and warrants the accuracy of the information provided therein.

(f) Tax Returns. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the rights of each Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, each Lender shall be under no obligation to claim credit, relief, remission or repayment from or against its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of the amount of such deduction or withholding in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes (or a credit therefor) as to which it has been indemnified by the Guarantor or with respect to which the Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5, it shall pay to the Guarantor an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Guarantor under this Section 5 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Guarantor, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or any such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or any such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5(g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Guarantor or any other Person.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. As of the date hereof and as of the date of each Credit Event, the Guarantor represents to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, subject to the qualifications in Article IV and elsewhere of the Credit Agreement, that each of the representations and warranties applicable to it under the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (unless any such representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) as if made by such Guarantor.

Section 7. Covenants. (a) The Guarantor agrees to comply with and be bound by each of the covenants, agreements and conditions in the Credit Agreement applicable to it.

(b) Until the termination of the Commitments and the satisfaction in full by the Company of all Obligations (other than Unaccrued Indemnity Claims), and unless the

-7-

Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, the Guarantor will comply and/or will cause the Company and/or each of the other Significant Parties, as applicable, to comply with (i) each of the affirmative covenants set forth in Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement, (ii) each of the negative covenants set forth in Section 5.02 of the Credit Agreement, and (iii) each of the Financial Covenants set forth in Section 5.03 of the Credit Agreement, as if the Guarantor were a party to the Credit Agreement.

Section 8. Amendments, Etc. Neither this Guarantee Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by course of conduct, but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties. The Administrative Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of the Administrative Agent. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by the Administrative Agent of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which the Administrative Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

Section 9. Notices, Etc. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Guaranty Agreement shall be in conformance with Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement; all notices to the Administrative Agent shall be sent to the address of the Administrative Agent set forth on Schedule IV to the Credit Agreement, all notices to a Lender shall be sent to the address of such Lender set forth on the Register and all notices to the Guarantor shall be sent to the Guarantor’s address as set forth on Schedule 9 hereof.

Section 10. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 11. Right of Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent but without prior notice to or consent of the Guarantor, any such notice and consent being expressly waived by the Guarantor to the extent permitted by applicable laws upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and apply against the Secured Obligations any amount owing from such Lender to the Guarantor. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Guarantor or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Guarantor or against anyone else claiming through or against the Guarantor or

-8-

such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender at any prior time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 12. Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any of the other agreements of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, the agreements and obligations of the Guarantor contained in Section 1(a) (with respect to enforcement expenses), the last sentence of Section 2, Section 5 and this Section 12 shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all of the other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement.

Section 13. Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other obligations owed to the Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 13:

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. The Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party), and the Administrative Agent has delivered notice to the Guarantor that such payments may not be made or received. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) and delivery of such notice, however, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, the Guarantor shall not demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

(b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party, the Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post-Petition Interest”)) before the Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any

-9-

Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) and delivery by the Administrative Agent of the notice described in Section 13(a), the Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guarantee Agreement.

(d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) and delivery by the Collateral Agent of the notice described in Section 13(a), the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of the Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest), and (ii) to require the Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest).

Section 14. Continuing Guarantee; Assignments under the Credit Agreement. This Guarantee Agreement is a continuing Guarantee and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement, (ii) the applicable Termination Date and (iii) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and all Lender Rate Contracts, (b) be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including all or any portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement. The Guarantor shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the requisite Lenders required under Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 15. Execution in Counterparts. This Guarantee Agreement and each amendment, waiver and consent with respect hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties thereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Transmission by facsimile

-10-

or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of this Guaranty Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.

Section 16. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. (a) This Guarantee Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to conflicts of law rules (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law). The scope of the foregoing governing law provision is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be brought in any court or any mediation or arbitration proceeding and that relate to the subject matter of the Credit Documents, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, New York County and the courts of the US located in the Southern District of New York and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee Agreement may be brought against such party in any such courts. Final judgment against the Guarantor in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 16(b) shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue the Guarantor in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon the Guarantor in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. The Guarantor agrees that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute adequate service of process in any such suit. The Guarantor irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (a) any objection which it may have now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any court referred to in the first sentence above; (b) any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (c) its right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the State of New York to any court of the US; (d) any immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under this Guarantee Agreement or any other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process; and (e) any right it may have to require the moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee Agreement or any other Credit Document to post security for the costs of the Guarantor or to post a bond or to take similar action.

(c) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE GUARANTOR, AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTEE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT.

-11-

Section 17. No Liability of the Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any liability to the Guarantor (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Guarantee Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on the Administrative Agent and such other Secured Party, as the case may be, that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, as the case may be, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In any such litigation, each of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption each of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Section 18. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Guarantee Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty Agreement nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provisions under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 19. Lender Rate Contracts. So long as the terms thereof are in compliance with the Credit Agreement, each Lender Rate Contract shall be guaranteed by this Guarantee Agreement to the extent, and, notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Guarantee Agreement, only to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement, including Section 7.07 of the Credit Agreement. Such guarantee shall be on a silent basis, so that, notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Guarantee Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, no holders of Lender Rate Contracts shall be able to take any action in respect of this Guarantee Agreement nor instruct the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to take any action in respect of this Guarantee Agreement.

Section 20. Construction. This Guarantee Agreement is the result of negotiations among, and has been reviewed by, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and their respective counsel. Accordingly, this Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.

Section 21. Interpretation. The provisions of Sections 1.04, 1.05, 1.07, 1.10 and 1.11 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Guarantee Agreement by reference.

RECITALS

A. Each of the Guarantors as of the time of execution hereof is a Subsidiary of Chiquita Brands L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”).

B. Pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement) by and among the Company, Chiquita Brands International, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“CBII”), each of the Lenders party thereto from time to time, Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen - Boerenleenbank B.A., “Rabobank Nederland”, New York Branch, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), as Swing Line Lender, and as an L/C Issuer, and the other Persons party thereto, the Lenders are willing to make certain financial accommodations available to the Company from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof.

C. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to induce the Lenders to make financial accommodations to the Company as provided for in the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors have agreed to execute and deliver this Guarantee Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and the Lenders or the Lenders’ Affiliates to enter into Lender Rate Contracts from time to time, each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guarantee; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Secured Obligations now or hereafter existing (including any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Secured Obligations),

whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Secured Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guarantee Agreement or any other Credit Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Credit Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Company.

(b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guarantee Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guarantee Agreement and the liabilities and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guarantee Agreement and the liabilities and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the liabilities and obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 6.01(f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement or the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guarantee Agreement or any other Guarantee Agreement (other than the Parent Guarantee Agreement), such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor (other than the Parent Guarantor) and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Credit Documents.

Section 2. Guarantee Absolute.

The liabilities and obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guarantee Agreement are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liabilities or obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Credit Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Company or any other Loan Party or whether the Company or any other Loan Party is joined in

-2-

any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liabilities or obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Credit Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Credit Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other Guarantee Agreement, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liabilities or obligations of any Loan Party under the Credit Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guarantee Agreement, any Guarantee Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other Guarantee Agreement or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

This Guarantee Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or

-3-

reorganization of the Company or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 3. Waivers and Acknowledgments.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

(e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.

(f) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 2 and this Section 3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 4. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company, any other Loan Party

If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement, (b) the applicable Termination Date and (c) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and all Lender Rate Contracts, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement thereafter arising.

If any Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Guarantee Agreement or other Credit

-5-

Documents to any Lender, (i) such Guarantor shall make all such deductions or withholdings, (ii) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority, taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) the sum payable by such Guarantor shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and such Lender, as the case may be, have made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5) the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, provided that such Guarantor shall not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 5(a) to the extent that (i) such Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents to a Lender which is not organized under the laws of the US or a state thereof (including the District of Columbia) at the time such Lender becomes a party to the Credit Documents (or designates a new lending office outside the US or after becoming a party to the Credit Documents becomes organized under laws outside the US or a state thereof) or is attributable to such Lender’s failure or inability (other than as a result of a Change in Law) to comply with delivery of appropriate documentation in accordance with Section 5(e) hereof, except to the extent that (x) such Lender (or its Assignee Lender, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office outside the US or a state thereof (or at the time of assignment to the Assignee Lender), to receive additional amounts from such Guarantor with respect to such Taxes or (y) such Lender is an Assignee Lender and/or Replacement Lender, as the case may be, becoming a party to the Credit Documents at the Company’s request.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, each Guarantor shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority or taxing authority in accordance with applicable law, and indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless from, any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, intangible, property, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from the delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Guarantee Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnity. Each Guarantor shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5, imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including Governmental Charges, penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses, other than to the extent arising as a result of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Tax Receipt. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes in respect of this Guarantee Agreement, such Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

-6-

(e) Withholding Exemption Certificates. Within 30 days after becoming a party hereto and on or before the date, if any, that any Lender (or participant, as applicable) changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Administrative Agent or any Guarantor (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so): (i) each Lender that is a US Person that is not a “domestic” corporation (as defined in IRC Section 7701) shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and such Guarantor with one original US Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an officer, and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Guarantor and (ii) each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the US shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and such Guarantor with (A) either (1) two original US Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an officer, and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Guarantor or (2) a certificate that it is not (x) a “bank” (as defined in IRC Section 881(c)(3)(A)), (y) a 10% shareholder (within the meaning of IRC Section 871(h)(3)(B)) of such Guarantor or (z) a controlled foreign corporation related to such Guarantor (within the meaning of IRC Section 864(d)(4)), and (A) two original US Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an officer, and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Guarantor. Each Lender shall deliver such new forms and documents prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms or other documents referred to in this Section 5, or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms or other documents delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly provide written notice to each of the Administrative Agent and such Guarantor at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or other document (or any other form of certification adopted by the US Internal Revenue Service for such purpose). Each Lender providing one or more forms or certificates pursuant to this Section 5(e) hereby represents, covenants and warrants the accuracy of the information provided therein.

(f) Tax Returns. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the rights of each Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, each Lender shall be under no obligation to claim credit, relief, remission or repayment from or against its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of the amount of such deduction or withholding in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes (or a credit therefor) as to which it has been indemnified by a Guarantor or with respect to which such Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5, it shall pay to such Guarantor an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Guarantor under this Section 5 with respect to the Taxes or

-7-

Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Guarantor, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or any such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or any such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5(g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Guarantor or any other Person.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. As of the date hereof and as of the date of each Credit Event, each Guarantor represents to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, subject to the qualifications in Article IV and elsewhere of the Credit Agreement, that each of the representations and warranties applicable to it under the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (unless any such representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) as if made by such Guarantor.

Section 7. Covenants. Each Guarantor agrees to comply with and be bound by each of the covenants, agreements and conditions in the Credit Agreement applicable to it as if such Guarantor were a party to the Credit Agreement.

Section 8. Amendments, Guarantee Supplements, Etc. (a) Neither this Guarantee Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by course of conduct, but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties. The Administrative Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of the Administrative Agent. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by the Administrative Agent of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which the Administrative Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

(b) Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guarantee supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Guarantee Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guarantee Agreement to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Credit Document to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and

(ii) each reference herein to “this Guarantee Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guarantee Agreement, and each reference in any other Credit Document to the “Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guarantee Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to this Guarantee Agreement as supplemented by such Guarantee Supplement.

Section 9. Notices, Etc. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Guaranty Agreement shall be in conformance with Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement; all notices to the Administrative Agent shall be sent to the address of the Administrative Agent set forth on Schedule IV to the Credit Agreement, all notices to a Lender shall be sent to the address of such Lender set forth on the Register and all notices to any Guarantor shall be sent to such Guarantor’s address as set forth on Schedule 9 hereof.

Section 10. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 11. Right of Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent but without prior notice to or consent of any Guarantor, any such notice and consent being expressly waived by such Guarantor to the extent permitted by applicable laws upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and apply against the Secured Obligations any amount owing from such Lender to such Guarantor. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against any Guarantor or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of such Guarantor or against anyone else claiming through or against such Guarantor or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender at any prior time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify such Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 12. Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any of the other agreements of any Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, the agreements and obligations of each Guarantor contained in Section 1(a) (with respect to enforcement expenses), the last sentence of Section 2, Section 5 and this Section 12 shall survive the indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all of the other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement.

Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 13:

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Each Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party), and the Administrative Agent has delivered notice to CBII that such payments may not be made or received. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) and delivery of such notice, however, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

(b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post-Petition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) and delivery by the Administrative Agent of the notice described in Section 13(a), each Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guarantee Agreement.

(d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) and delivery by the Administrative Agent of the notice described in Section 13(a), the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to

-10-

submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest).

Section 14. Continuing Guarantee; Assignments under the Credit Agreement. This Guarantee Agreement is a continuing Guarantee and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement, (ii) the applicable Termination Date and (iii) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and all Lender Rate Contracts, (b) be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including all or any portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement. No Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the requisite Lenders required under Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 15. Execution in Counterparts. This Guarantee Agreement and each amendment, waiver and consent with respect hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties thereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Transmission by facsimile or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of this Guaranty Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.

Section 16. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. (a) This Guarantee Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to conflicts of law rules (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law). The scope of the foregoing governing law provision is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be brought in any court or any mediation or arbitration proceeding and that relate to the subject matter of the Credit Documents, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, New York County and the courts of the US located in the Southern District of New York and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee Agreement may be brought against such party in any such courts. Final judgment against any Guarantor in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the

-11-

judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 16(b) shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue each Guarantor in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon each Guarantor in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. Each Guarantor agrees that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute adequate service of process in any such suit. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (a) any objection which it may have now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any court referred to in the first sentence above; (b) any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (c) its right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the State of New York to any court of the US; (d) any immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under this Guarantee Agreement or any other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process; and (e) any right it may have to require the moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee Agreement or any other Credit Document to post security for the costs of each Guarantor or to post a bond or to take similar action.

(c) EACH OF THE GUARANTORS AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTEE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT.

Section 17. No Liability of the Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any liability to any Guarantor (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by such Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Guarantee Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non appealable judgment or court order binding on the Administrative Agent and such other Secured Party, as the case may be, that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, as the case may be, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In any such litigation, each of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption each of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Section 18. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Guarantee Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality,

-12-

validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty Agreement nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 19. Release of Liability of Guarantor. In the event that all of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of one or more Guarantors is sold or otherwise disposed of (except to any of the CBII Entities) or liquidated in compliance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or liquidation are applied as permitted or required by the terms of the Credit Agreement, such Guarantor shall, upon consummation of such sale or other disposition, be released from this Guarantee Agreement automatically and without further action and this Guarantee Agreement shall, as to each such Guarantor, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood and agreed that the sale of one or more Persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Guarantor for purposes of this Section 19).

Section 20. Lender Rate Contracts. So long as the terms thereof are in compliance with the Credit Agreement, each Lender Rate Contract shall be guaranteed by this Guarantee Agreement to the extent, and, notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Guarantee Agreement, only to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement, including Section 7.07 of the Credit Agreement. Such guarantee shall be on a silent basis, so that, notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Guarantee Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, no holders of Lender Rate Contracts shall be able to take any action in respect of this Guarantee Agreement nor instruct the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to take any action in respect of this Guarantee Agreement.

Section 21. Construction. This Guarantee Agreement is the result of negotiations among, and has been reviewed by, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and their respective counsel. Accordingly, this Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.

Section 22. Interpretation. The provisions of Sections 1.04, 1.05, 1.07, 1.10 and 1.11 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Guarantee Agreement by reference.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an Obligor receives a license to, but not ownership of, any such property under any such contract, the Obligor’s obligations under this Section 4.11(e) shall be satisfied by its commercially reasonable efforts not to permit the inclusion of any such provisions as to any such licensed property.

4.12 Covenants Relating to Patents and Trademarks.

All amounts on deposit in such accounts and any replacement or successor accounts relating thereto shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder.

4.16 Additional Information. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at the direction of the Collateral Agent, each Obligor shall provide the following to the Collateral Agent:

22

each of the letters of credit, the Proceeds of which have been assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder, that any payments due or to become due in respect thereof are to be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee and (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of any letter of credit.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Obligors shall remain liable under each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise to each such Receivable. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating to such Receivable pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of an Obligor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

ARTICLE VI. SPECIAL PROVISIONS REGARDING INVENTORY.

23

ARTICLE VII. ADVANCES BY LENDERS.

On failure of any Obligor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, perform the same and in so doing may expend such sums as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof, including the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien (other than a Permitted Lien), expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim (other than a Permitted Lien) and all other expenditures which the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties may make for the protection of the security hereof or which may be compelled to make by operation of law. All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Obligors on a joint and several basis promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate for the Loans. No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties on behalf of any Obligor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Obligors of any default under the terms of this Security Agreement or the other Credit Documents. The Secured Parties may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by an Obligor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

ARTICLE VIII. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

ARTICLE IX. REMEDIES.

9.01 General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during continuation thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Credit Documents in respect of the Secured Obligations or by law (including the rights and remedies set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Collateral), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further, the Required Lenders (at their election but without notice of their election and without demand) may authorize and instruct the Collateral

24

Agent to do any of the following on behalf of the Secured Parties (and the Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders, shall do the same on behalf of the Secured Parties), with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others and to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) enter on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by the Obligors, take possession of the Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require the Obligors to assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent at the expense of the Obligors any Collateral at any place and time designated by the Collateral Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof, and/or (v) without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or Requirement of Law, all of which each of the Obligors hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, at any place and time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for Cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Collateral Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all mandatory legal requirements). Each Obligor also agrees that Collateral Agent shall at all times have such royalty-free licenses, to the extent permitted by law and existing contracts, for any Trademarks, Trademark Licenses, Patents, Patent Licenses, Copyrights and Copyright Licenses that are reasonably necessary to permit the exercise of any of the Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies upon or after the occurrence of (and during the continuance of) an Event of Default with respect to (among other things) any tangible asset of any Obligor in which the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties have a security interest and Lien, including the Collateral Agent’s rights to sell Inventory, tooling or packaging which is required by Obligor (or such Obligor’s successor, assignee or trustee under any applicable Debtor Relief Law), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient quality control by the Collateral Agent to the extent the exercise of such rights by the Collateral Agent has a reasonable likelihood of invalidation of such Trademarks. In addition to and without limiting any of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, but shall in no way be obligated, to bring suit, or to take such other action as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable, in the name of any Obligor or the Collateral Agent, to enforce or protect any of the Trademarks, Trademark Licenses, Patents, Patent Licenses, Copyrights, and Copyright Licenses, in which event any Obligor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement. In addition to all other sums due the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Secured Obligations, the Obligors shall pay the Collateral Agent and each of the other Secured Parties all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent or any such Secured Party, including attorneys’ fees and court costs, in obtaining or liquidating the Collateral, in enforcing payment of the Secured Obligations, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding by or against the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties or the Obligors concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this Security Agreement, any Collateral or the Secured Obligations, including any of the foregoing arising in, arising under or related to a case under any Debtor Relief Law. To the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Obligor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is in writing, personally served, faxed mailed, or delivered, to the Obligors in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement at least ten (10) days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice. The Collateral Agent and the

25

other Secured Parties shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. To the extent permitted by law, any Lender may be a purchaser and may credit bid at any such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Obligors hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect to any such sale. Subject to the provisions of applicable law, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by law, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed, or the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place.

9.02 Remedies Relating to Receivables. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, whether or not the Collateral Agent has exercised any or all of its other rights and remedies hereunder, the Collateral Agent or its designee may notify any Obligor’s customers, counterparties and account debtors that the Receivables of such Obligor have been assigned to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or of the Collateral Agent’s or the other Secured Parties’ security interest and Lien therein, and may (either in its own name or in the name of an Obligor or both) demand, collect (including through any lockboxes, blocked accounts, dominion of funds arrangements, and/or control agreements that may be established upon the Collateral Agent’s request upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default), receive, take receipt for, sell, sue for, compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all amounts due or to become due on any Receivable, and, in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest and Lien of the Secured Parties in the Receivables. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its Receivables remitted to or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely for the Collateral Agent’s own convenience and that such Obligor shall not have any right, title or interest in such Receivables or in any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein. The Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of any Proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral received by it in accordance with this Section 9.02 from any source to the payment of the Secured Obligations (whether or not then due and payable). The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to apply or give credit for any item included in Proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral until any bank at which a lockbox, restricted or other account as may be established (an “Account Bank”) has received final payment therefor at its offices in Cash. However, if the Collateral Agent does permit credit to be given for any item prior to an Account Bank receiving final payment therefor and such Account Bank fails to receive such final payment or an item is charged back to the Collateral Agent or any Account Bank for any reason, the Collateral Agent may at its election, in either instance, charge the amount of such item back against any such lockbox, restricted or other accounts, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate for the Revolving Loans. Each Obligor hereby indemnifies the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, actions, claims, judgments, costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorneys’ fees (except such as result from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) suffered or incurred by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party because of

26

the maintenance of the foregoing arrangements. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have liability or responsibility to any Obligor for an Account Bank accepting any check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement whatsoever or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance (it being understood that this sentence shall in no way affect the liability or responsibility of any such Account Bank).

9.03 Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take physical possession of any and all of the Collateral and anything found therein, the right for that purpose to enter without legal process and without breach of the peace any premises where the Collateral may be found (provided such entry be done lawfully), and the right to maintain such possession on any Obligor’s premises (each Obligor hereby agreeing to lease warehouses and storage facilities to the Collateral Agent or its designee if the Collateral Agent so requests) or to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such other places as the Collateral Agent may desire. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, unless and until such Event of Default has been waived by the Secured Parties or cured to the satisfaction of the Secured Parties, each Obligor shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place reasonably designated by the Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent exercises its right to take possession of the Collateral, each Obligor shall also at its expense perform any and all other steps reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to preserve and protect the security interest and Lien hereby granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating the security interest and Lien of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, appointing overseers for the Collateral and maintaining Inventory records.

9.04 Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Security Agreement, any other Credit Document or as provided by law, or any delay by the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties shall only be granted as provided herein. To the extent permitted by law, neither the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties, nor any party acting as attorney for the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under this Security Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties may have.

9.05 Retention of Collateral.

27

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, after providing the notices required by Section 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, to the extent the Collateral Agent is in possession of any of the Collateral, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.

9.06 Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate for the Loans, together with the costs of collection and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Obligors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

ARTICLE X. RIGHTS OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT.

10.01 Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, each Obligor hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Obligor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions with respect to the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(a) to demand, collect or settle, compromise, adjust, give discharges and releases, all as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine;

(b) to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting any Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;

(c) to defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release as the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably appropriate;

(d) to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to an Obligor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to the Collateral of such Obligor on behalf of and in the name of such Obligor, or securing, or relating to such Collateral;

28

(e) to sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes;

(f) to adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy relating thereto;

(g) to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, security agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the Collateral Agent may determine necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and Liens granted in this Security Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein;

(h) to institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; and

(i) to do and perform all such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection with the Collateral.

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding or any Credit Document in respect of the Secured Obligations is in effect or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, and until all of the Commitments in respect of the Revolving Loan Facility, the Swing Line Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Term Loan Facility shall have terminated. The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Collateral Agent in this Security Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. This power of attorney is conferred on the Collateral Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest and Lien in the Collateral.

10.02 Performance by the Collateral Agent of Obligations. If any Obligor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Collateral Agent itself may perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Obligors on a joint and several basis pursuant to Section 11.16.

10.03 Assignment by the Secured Parties. Subject to Section 8.05(c) of the Credit Agreement, any of the Secured Parties may from time to time assign the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of such Secured Party under this Security Agreement in relation thereto.

10.04 The Collateral Agent’s Duty of Care.

29

Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Obligors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Obligors. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral.

ARTICLE XI. MISCELLANEOUS.

11.02 Continuing Agreement.

(a) This Security Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding or any Credit Documents in respect of the Secured Obligations are in effect or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, and until all of the Commitments in respect of the Revolving Loan Facility, the Swing Line Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Term Loan Facility shall have terminated. Upon such payment and termination, this Security Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Obligors, forthwith release all of the Liens and security interests hereunder and shall deliver and authorize the filing of all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Obligors evidencing such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing all releases and indemnities provided hereunder shall survive termination of this Security Agreement.

30

(b) This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all costs and expenses (including any legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Obligor hereby releases the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party, and its successors and permitted assigns, from any liability for any act or omission relating to this Security Agreement or the Collateral, except for any liability arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, or such other Secured Party, or its officers, employees or agents, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

11.05 Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Security Agreement shall be in conformance with Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement; all notices to the Collateral Agent shall be sent to the address of the Administrative Agent set forth on Schedule IV to the Credit Agreement and all notices to any Obligor shall be sent to such Obligor’s address as set forth on Schedule 3.01.

11.06 Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.

Final judgment against any Obligor in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 11.09 shall affect the right of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue any Obligor in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon any Obligor in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. Each of the Obligors agrees that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute adequate service of process in any such suit. Each of the Obligors irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (a) any objection which it may have now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any court referred to in the first sentence above; (b) any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (c) its right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the State of New York to any court of the US; (d) any immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under this Security Agreement or any other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process; and (e) any right it may have to require the moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising out of or in connection with this Security Agreement or any other Credit Document to post security for the costs of any Obligor or to post a bond or to take similar action.

11.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE OBLIGORS, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE

32

LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT.

11.11 Severability. If at any time any provision of this Security Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

11.12 Collateral Agent. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

11.13 Survival. All representations and warranties of the Obligors hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the delivery of the Notes and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.

11.14 Other Security; Marshaling.

(a) To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral (including real property and securities owned by an Obligor or any other Person), or by a guarantee agreement, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have the right to proceed against such other property, guarantee agreement or endorsement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have the right, in their sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, Liens, security interests or remedies the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall at any time thereafter pursue or take, or at any time relinquish, subordinate or modify with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or any of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ rights or the Secured Obligations under this Security Agreement, under any other of the Credit Documents or otherwise.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative

33

and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Obligor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Obligor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

11.15 Joint and Several Obligations of Obligors.

(a) Each of the Obligors is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Obligors and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Obligors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

(b) Each of the Obligors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Obligors with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations arising under this Security Agreement or the other Credit Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Obligors without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) Notwithstanding anything provided in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 11.15, no Obligor (other than CBII) shall be liable, directly or indirectly, for any Secured Obligations of CBII.

11.16 Rights of Required Lenders. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, if not exercised by the Collateral Agent, may be exercised by the Required Lenders.

11.17 Joinder. In the event a party becomes an Obligor (each, a “New Obligor”) pursuant to a Joinder Agreement, upon execution of such Joinder Agreement, such New Obligor shall be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof to the same extent as though such New Obligor had originally executed this Security Agreement. The addition of each New Obligor shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the other Obligors hereunder. Each Obligor hereto acknowledges that Schedules 3.01, 3.02 and 3.06 may be amended or modified in connection with the addition of any New Obligor to reflect information relating to such New Obligor.

11.18 Lender Rate Contracts. So long as the terms thereof are in compliance with the Credit Agreement, each Lender Rate Contract shall be secured by the Lien of this Security Agreement to the extent, and, notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Security

34

Agreement, only to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement, including Section 7.07 of the Credit Agreement. Such security shall be on a silent basis, so that, notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, no holders of Lender Rate Contracts shall be able to take any action in respect of the Collateral nor instruct the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders to take any action in respect of the Collateral.

11.19 Release of Liability of Obligor. In the event that all of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of one or more Obligors is sold or otherwise disposed of (except to any of the CBII Entities) or liquidated in compliance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or liquidation are applied as permitted or required by the terms of the Credit Agreement, such Obligor shall, upon consummation of such sale or other disposition, be released from this Security Agreement automatically and without further action and this Security Agreement shall, as to each such Obligor, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood and agreed that the sale of one or more Persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the Equity Interests of any Obligor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Obligor for purposes of this Section 11.19).

11.20 Construction. This Security Agreement is the result of negotiations among, and has been reviewed by, the Obligors, the Collateral Agent and their respective counsel. Accordingly, this Security Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against the Obligors, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.

(b) Entry on Mortgaged Property. Enter the Mortgaged Property and take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto or located thereon.

Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as Mortgagee may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable), and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by Mortgagee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7.

(d) Foreclosure and Sale. Institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Mortgage by judicial action. At any sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor, and against all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall deliver to the purchaser at such sale its deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty express or implied, and the recitals in such deed of matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. In addition, any such sale shall be free and clear of any interest of Mortgagor under any lease, encumbrance or other matter affecting the property so sold which is subject or subordinate to this Mortgage, except that any such sale shall not result in the termination of any such lease (A) if and to the extent otherwise provided in the estoppel or other agreement executed by the tenant to such lease and Mortgagee, or (B) if the purchaser at such sale gives written notice to such tenant, within ten (10) days after date of sale, then the lease will continue in effect. Mortgagee or any of the other Secured Party may be a purchaser at such sale. If Mortgagee is the highest bidder, Mortgagee may credit the purchase price against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying cash.

(e) Receiver, To the extent permitted by law, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Mortgagor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Indebtedness, the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor irrevocably consents to such appointment.

(f) Other. Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Credit Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.

Mortgagee shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Credit Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Mortgagor or others obligated under the Credit Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Mortgagee in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Credit Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.

Section 5.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate Lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the Lien or security interest created in or evidenced by the Credit Documents or their status as a first and prior Lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property. For payment of the Indebtedness, Mortgagee may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect.

Section 5.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of any election by Mortgagee to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Credit Documents, and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

Section 5.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Mortgagee or any other Secured Party shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Credit Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Mortgagee or such other Secured Party, as the case may be, shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Mortgagor, any other Secured Party and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness, the Obligations, the Credit Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortgagee and any other Secured Party shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Mortgagee or any other Secured Party thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Credit Documents for such Event of Default.

Section 5.7 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Mortgagee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in the following order unless otherwise required by applicable law:

(a) to the payment of the costs and expenses of taking possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same, including, without

limitation (1) trustee’s and receiver’s fees and expenses, including the repayment of the amounts evidenced by any receiver’s certificates, (2) court costs, (3) attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses, and (4) costs of advertisement; and

(b) to the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations as provided in Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 5.8 Occupancy After Foreclosure. Any sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in accordance with Section 5.1(d) will divest all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to the property sold. Subject to applicable law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate possession of the property purchased. If Mortgagor retains possession of such property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Mortgagor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Mortgagor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.

Section 5.9 Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Mortgagee under this Section 5.9, or otherwise under this Mortgage or any of the other Credit Documents or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the highest lawful rate at which interest is then computed on any portion of the Indebtedness, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage.

(b) Mortgagor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Mortgage and the other Credit Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Indebtedness or any claim under this Mortgage and the other Credit Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise.

Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article 5, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under Article 6, the security interests under Article 7, nor any other remedies afforded to Mortgagee under the Credit Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Mortgagee or any other Secured Party to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee or any other Secured Party to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise,

Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that upon ‘recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee’s interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, “choate” and enforced as to Mortgagor and to the extent permitted under applicable law, all third parties, in any case under the Bankruptcy Code, without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Mortgage, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.

Section 6.3 Bankruptcy Provisions. Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree that (a) this Mortgage shall constitute a “security agreement” for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Mortgage extends to property of Mortgagor acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents and (c) such security interest shall extend to all Rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.

Section 6.4 No Merger of Estates. So long as part of the Indebtedness and the Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and undischarged, the fee and leasehold estates to the Mortgaged Property shall not merge, but shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates either in Mortgagor, Mortgagee, any tenant or any third party by purchase or otherwise.

THIS CONVEYANCE is given to secure a guaranty of a revolving loan in the maximum principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $400,000,000.00, maturing on March 31, 2014, and is intended to operate and is to be construed as a deed passing title to the property herein described to Grantee and is intended to operate under Title 44, Chapter 14, Article 3 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated in regard to the sale of property to secure debts, and not as a mortgage.

THIS DEED TO SECURE DEBT is given for the purpose of conveying real property in order to secure future advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of Lenders, or otherwise, and whether made before or after default or maturity or other similar events, to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the execution hereof. The security title created by this Deed to Secure Debt, as to third persons, with or without actual knowledge hereof, shall be valid as to all such indebtedness and such future advances, from the date of recordation of this Deed to Secure Debt, shall have priority.

ARTICLE 3

WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS

Grantor warrants, represents and covenants to Grantee as follows:

Section 3.1 Title to Mortgaged Property and Lien of this Instrument. Grantor owns the Mortgaged Property free and clear of any liens, claims or interests, except the Permitted Encumbrances and the other Permitted Liens. This Deed to Secure Debt creates valid, enforceable first priority liens and security interests against the Mortgaged Property.

Section 3.2 First Lien Status. Grantor shall preserve and protect the first lien and security interest status of this Deed to Secure Debt and the other Credit Documents. If any Lien other than a Permitted Encumbrance or another Permitted Lien is asserted against the Mortgaged Property, Grantor shall promptly, and at its expense, (a) give Grantee a detailed written notice of such Lien (including origin, amount and other terms), and (b) pay the underlying claim in full or take such other action so as to cause it to be released or contest the same in compliance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement (including the requirement of providing a bond or other security satisfactory to Grantee).

Section 3.3 Payment and Performance. As required by the Guarantee and this Deed to Secure Debt, Grantor shall pay the Indebtedness when due under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and shall perform the Obligations in full when they are required to be performed.

3

Section 3.4 Replacement of Fixtures and Personalty. Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Grantee, permit any of the Fixtures or Personalty owned or leased by Grantor to be removed at any time from the Land or Improvements, unless the removed item is removed temporarily for maintenance and repair or is permitted to be removed by the Credit Agreement.

Section 3.5 Inspection. Grantor shall permit Grantee and the other Secured Parties and their respective agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to Grantor (so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing), and in compliance with the Subject Lease, to inspect the Mortgaged Property and all books and records of Grantor located thereon, and to conduct such environmental and engineering studies as Grantee or the other Secured Parties may require, provided that such inspections and studies shall not materially interfere with the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property.

Section 3.6 Other Covenants. All of the covenants in the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents are incorporated herein by reference and, together with covenants in this Article 3 shall be covenants running with the Land.

Section 3.7 Insurance; Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds.

(a) Insurance. Grantor shall maintain or cause to be maintained such insurance as required pursuant to Section 5.01(d) of the Credit Agreement. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (or any amendment or successor act thereto), then Grantor shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to such Act.

(b) Condemnation Awards. Subject to the terms of the Subject Lease, Grantor assigns all Condemnation Awards to Grantee and authorizes Grantee to collect and receive such Condemnation Awards (to the extent Grantor is entitled thereto under the Subject Lease) and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.06(c)(i i) thereof).

(c) Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Subject Lease, Grantor assigns to Grantee all proceeds of any insurance policies insuring against loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.06(c)(iii) thereof), Grantor authorizes Grantee to collect and receive such proceeds (to the extent Grantor is entitled thereto under the Subject Lease) and authorizes and directs the issuer of each of such insurance policies to make payment for all such losses (to the extent Grantor is entitled thereto under the Subject Lease) directly to Grantee, instead of to Grantor and Grantee jointly.

ARTICLE 4

LEASEHOLD DEED TO SECURE DEBT PROVISIONS

Section 4.1 Representations; Warranties; Covenants. Grantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants that:

(a) (1) Except as set forth in Exhibit B hereof, the Subject Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (2) all rent and other charges therein have been paid to the extent they are payable to the date hereof, (3) Grantor enjoys the quiet and peaceful possession of the Premises, (4) to the best of its knowledge, Grantor is not in default under any of the terms thereof and there are no circumstances

4

which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default thereunder, (5) to the best of Grantor’s knowledge, the lessor thereunder is not in default under any of the terms or provisions thereof on the part of the lessor to be observed or performed, (6) Grantor has not previously subordinated its interest in the Mortgaged Property to the Lien or interests of any mortgagee of the lessor’s fee interest in the Premises and (7) the Purchase Option is in full force and effect, has not been modified and none of Grantor’s rights and interests therein have been waived;

(b) Grantor shall promptly pay, when due and payable, the rent and other charges payable pursuant to the Subject Lease, and will timely perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by Grantor as lessee under the Subject Lease;

(c) Grantor shall notify Grantee in writing of any default by Grantor in the performance or observance of any terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Grantor to be performed or observed under the Subject Lease within three (3) days after Grantor obtains knowledge of such default;

(d) Grantor shall, immediately upon receipt thereof, deliver a copy of each notice given to Grantor by the lessor pursuant to the Subject Lease and promptly notify Grantee in writing of any default by the lessor in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of the lessor to be performed or observed thereunder;

(e) Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Grantee (which may be granted or withheld in Grantee’s sole and absolute discretion) terminate, modify or surrender the Subject Lease or the Purchase Option (other than by any exercise thereof), and any such attempted termination, modification or surrender without Grantee’s written consent shall be void;

(f) Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Grantee, exercise the Purchase Option;

(g) Grantor shall, within twenty (20) days after written request from Grantee, use its best efforts to obtain from the lessor and deliver to Grantee a certificate setting forth the name of the tenant under the Subject Lease and stating that the Subject Lease is in full force and effect, is unmodified or, if the Subject Lease has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each such modification), that no notice of termination thereof has been served on Grantor, stating that no default or event which with notice or lapse of time (or both) would become a default is existing under the Subject Lease (or if any such default or event is existing, specifying the nature of such default or event), stating the date to which rent has been paid, and containing such other statements and representations as may be requested by Grantee; and

(h) Grantor shall not at any time subordinate its interest in the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof to the Lien or interests of any mortgagee of the lessor’s fee interest in the Premises.

Section 4.2 No Merger. So long as any of the Indebtedness or the Obligations remain unpaid or unperformed, the fee title to and the leasehold estate in the Premises subject to the Subject Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct notwithstanding the union of such estates in the lessor or Grantor, or in a third party, by purchase or otherwise. If Grantor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the Premises, or any part thereof by the exercise of any purchase option under the Subject Lease or otherwise, the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt shall attach to, cover and be a lien upon such acquired estate, title or interest and the same shall thereupon be and become a part of the Mortgaged Property with the same force and effect as if specifically encumbered herein.

5

Grantor agrees to execute all instruments and documents that Grantee may reasonably require to ratify, confirm and further evidence the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt on the acquired estate, title or interest. Furthermore, Grantor hereby appoints Grantee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver, following an Event of Default, all such instruments and documents in the name and on behalf of Grantor. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as any portion of the Indebtedness remains unpaid.

Section 4.3 Grantee as Lessee. If the Subject Lease shall be terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term due to default by Grantor or any tenant thereunder, and if, pursuant to the provisions of the Subject Lease, Grantee or its designee shall acquire from the lessor a new lease of the Premises, Grantor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, or renewal privileges therein contained.

Section 4.4 No Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Deed to Secure Debt shall not constitute an assignment of the Subject Lease within the meaning of any provision thereof prohibiting its assignment and Grantee shall have no liability or obligation thereunder by reason of its acceptance of this Deed to Secure Debt. Grantee shall be liable for the obligations of the tenant arising out of the Subject Lease for only that period of time for which Grantee is in possession of the Premises or has acquired, by foreclosure or otherwise, and is holding all of Grantor’s right, title and interest therein.

Subject to any provisions of the Credit Documents providing for the automatic acceleration of the Indebtedness upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default, declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, without further notice, presentment, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand or action of any nature whatsoever (each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable.

(b) Entry on Mortgaged Property. Subject to the terms of the Subject Lease and applicable law, enter the Mortgaged Property and take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto or located thereon. If Grantor remains in possession of the Mortgaged Property following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and without Grantee’s prior written consent, subject to the terms of the Subject Lease and applicable law, Grantee may invoke any legal remedies to dispossess Grantor.

(c) Operation of Mortgaged Property. Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as Grantee may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Grantee deems necessary or desirable), all in a manner consistent with the terms of the Subject Lease, and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by Grantee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7.

6

the Subject Lease and applicable law. With respect to any notices required or permitted under the UCC, Grantor agrees that ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. Upon acceleration of the Indebtedness, Grantee may sell the Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property at one or more public sale or sales before the door of the courthouse of the county in which the Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property is situated, to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the Indebtedness and satisfy the Obligations, and all expenses of sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale once a week for four (4) weeks immediately preceding such sale (but without regard to number of days) in a newspaper in which sheriff’s sales are advertised in said county, all other notice being hereby waived by Grantor. At any such public sale, Grantee may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple, with full warranties of title, and to this end Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Grantee the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor to make such sale and conveyance, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed, and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Grantor. The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof, but may be exercised until full payment of all the Indebtedness and satisfaction of all the Obligations. In the event of any sale under this Deed to Secure Debt by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Mortgaged Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Grantee in its discretion may elect, and if Grantee so elects, Grantee may sell the personal property covered by this Deed to Secure Debt at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the UCC, and one or more exercises of the powers herein grant shall not extinguish nor exhaust such powers, until the entire Mortgaged Property is sold or the Indebtedness and Obligations are satisfied in full. At any such sale, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor, and against all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Grantor. If Grantee is the highest bidder, Grantee may credit the purchase price against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying cash. In the event this Deed to Secure Debt is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement of the Mortgaged Property is waived.

(e) Receiver. Make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Indebtedness, the appointment of a receiver Of the Mortgaged Property, and Grantor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and in a manner consistent with the terms of the Subject Lease, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7.

(f) Other. Subject to the terms of the Subject Lease, exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Credit Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.

Section 5.2 Separate Sales. To the extent not prohibited under the Subject Lease, the Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Grantee in its sole discretion may direct. The right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

Grantee shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Credit Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Credit Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Grantee (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Grantee in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Credit Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.

Exhibit 10.2

FORM OF

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of             is made by and between Chiquita Brands International, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), and             (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to the best interests of its stockholders to foster the continued employment of key management personnel; and

WHEREAS, the Board recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a Change in Control exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management, including the Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. The definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement are provided in the last Section hereof.

2. Term of Agreement. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue in effect through August 22, 2014; provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred during the Term, the Term shall not expire before the second anniversary of such Change in Control.

3. Company’s Covenants Summarized.

3.1 In order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company and in consideration of the Executive’s covenants set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Company agrees, under the conditions described herein, to pay the Executive the Severance Payments and the other payments and benefits described herein. Except as provided in Section 9.1 hereof, no Severance Payments shall be payable under this Agreement unless there shall have been a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company during the Term and following a Change in Control described in Section 6.1 hereof.

3.2 This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an express or implied contract of employment and, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company, the Executive shall not have any right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

3.3 If the Executive materially breaches any of the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall immediately be entitled, in its sole discretion, to terminate its obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.

3.4 If Executive is now, or at any time during the term of this Agreement becomes, employed by a subsidiary of the Company (including an indirect subsidiary of the Company), (a) all references herein to his employment, or termination of employment, by or with the Company shall, except where the context otherwise indicates, be deemed to be references to his employment, or termination of employment, by or with such subsidiary and (b) the Company shall have the right to cause such subsidiary to pay amounts and provide other benefits due to the Executive under this Agreement on the Company’s behalf, provided that nothing in this clause (b) shall relieve the Company of its obligation to cause all such amounts to be paid and such benefits to be provided to the Executive when due. The transfer of the Executive to the employ of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall not constitute a termination of his employment for purposes of this Agreement.

4. The Executive’s Covenants.

4.1 The Executive shall execute a release of claims against the Company substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment under the terms of this Agreement and as a condition to any payment or other provision of benefits by the Company hereunder. Such release must be executed by the Executive within 45 days following the Date of Termination (the “Release Deadline”)

4.2 Following termination of his employment with the Company, the Executive shall not use or disclose confidential information with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries to any person not authorized by the Company to receive such information, and the Executive shall assist the Company, in such manner as may reasonably be requested by the Company, in any litigation in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is or may become involved. The Executive’s obligations under this Section 4.2 shall not be limited by the Term of this Agreement and shall continue in full force following the expiration of this Agreement.

4.3 For a period extending until twenty-four (24) months after a termination of the Executive’s employment during the Term and following a Change in Control, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly (a) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee to leave the employ of the Company; (b) engage or hold an interest in any company listed in Exhibit B hereto or any subsidiary or affiliate of such business (the “Competing Businesses”), or directly or indirectly have any interest in, own, manage, operate, control, be connected with as a stockholder (other than as a stockholder of less than five percent (5%)), joint venturer, officer, director, partner, employee or consultant, or otherwise engage or invest or participate in, any business conducted by a Competing Business; or (c) indirectly interfere with or disrupt any relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company and its customers, suppliers, distributors or other similar parties or contact any customer for the purpose of influencing the directing or transferring of any business or patronage away from the Company.

2

5. Compensation Other Than Severance Payments; Adjustment of Long-Term Performance Awards.

5.1 If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for any reason during the Term and following a Change in Control, the Company shall pay the Executive’s full salary to the Executive through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, the rate in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, together with all compensation and benefits (including without limitation, pay for accrued but unused vacation) payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination under the terms of the Company’s compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination.

5.2 If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for any reason during the Term and following a Change in Control, the Company shall provide to the Executive the Executive’s normal post-termination compensation and benefits (including but not limited to outplacement services and, if the Executive’s place of employment was outside the United States, all benefits under the Company’s repatriation policy to which the Executive would be entitled if there were approval by all Company departments whose approval is required under such policy) as such payments and benefits become due. Such post-termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company’s retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination.

5.3 If, at the time of a Change in Control, the Executive holds any cash or equity-based awards the vesting of which was made contingent upon the attainment of performance goals with respect to a performance period of greater than one year (“LTIP Awards”), upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, notwithstanding the terms of any such award (or any plan under which the award is made), the performance goals with respect to each such LTIP Award shall be deemed attained at the target level and the vesting of each such award shall, subject to Section 6.1 (C) hereof, be conditioned solely upon the Executive’s continued employment through the remainder of the applicable performance period, upon which date such LTIP Award shall be immediately paid in full, unless a later payment date is required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, in which case such LTIP Award shall be paid out upon the earliest date permissible without violation of Section 409A of the Code.

6. Severance Payments.

6.1 Subject to Section 6.2 hereof, if (1) a Change in Control occurs during the Term, and (2) the Executive’s employment is terminated (other than (A) by the Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death or Disability, or (C) by the Executive without Good Reason) and the Date of Termination in connection therewith occurs within two (2) years after such Change in Control then the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts, and provide the Executive the benefits, hereinafter described in this Section 6.1 (“Severance Payments”), in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Section 5 hereof.

(A) In lieu of any further salary payments to the Executive for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination and in lieu of any severance benefit otherwise payable by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the Executive, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum severance payment, in

3

cash, equal to two (2.0) times the sum of (i) the Executive’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Base Salary”), plus (ii) the target annual bonus established for the Executive under the bonus plan maintained by the Company in respect of the fiscal year in which occurs the Date of Termination (or, if higher, in respect of the fiscal year in which occurs the Change in Control). If, notwithstanding the foregoing provision that the lump sum severance is to be in lieu of any severance benefit otherwise payable, the Company or any of its subsidiaries is required by applicable law to pay such a benefit, the Company’s obligation to pay such lump sum severance hereunder shall be offset and reduced by the amount of the benefit required to be paid by applicable law. The amounts payable under this Section 6.1(A) shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar for any salary and other compensation payments made pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof.

(B) For the 24-month period immediately following the Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and his dependents with life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Change in Control), at no greater cost to the Executive on an after-tax basis than the cost to the Executive immediately prior to such date or occurrence. Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 6.1(B) shall cease if benefits of the same type are received by or made available to the Executive by a subsequent employer during the applicable period set forth above (and any such benefits received by or made available to the Executive shall be reported to the Company by the Executive). If the Severance Payments shall be decreased pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, and the Section 6.1(B) benefits which remain payable after the application of Section 6.2 hereof are thereafter discontinued pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall, no later than five (5) business days following such discontinuation, pay to the Executive the least of (a) the amount of the decrease made in the Severance Payments pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, (b) the value of the discontinued Section 6.1(B) benefits, or (c) the maximum amount which can be paid to the Executive without being, or causing any other payment to be, nondeductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code or subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code. The time period during which benefits are payable under this Section 6.1(B) shall be reduced by the amount of time benefits are paid to Executive pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof.

(C) Notwithstanding any provision of any incentive, stock, retirement, savings or other plan to the contrary, as of the Date of Termination, (i) the Executive shall be fully vested in (1) all then outstanding options to acquire stock of the Company (or if such options have been assumed by, or replaced with options for shares of, a parent, surviving or acquiring company, such assumed or replacement options), and all then outstanding restricted shares of stock of the Company (or the stock of any parent, surviving or acquiring company into which such restricted shares have been converted or for which they have been exchanged) and all other equity or equity-based awards held by the Executive immediately prior to termination, other than LTIP Awards, which are governed by the last sentence of this Section 6.1(C), (2) all accrued basic match and incremental match employer contributions under the Company’s Capital Appreciation Plan, and (3) to the extent permissible under the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), all amounts credited to his account under the Company’s 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan which are attributable to employer contributions; and (ii) all stock options referred to in clause (i) above shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (x) the 1st anniversary of the Date of Termination or (y) the otherwise applicable expiration date of such option; provided, however, that if the Date of Termination is more than one year after the date of a Change of Control, then the foregoing provisions of this (ii) shall apply only to the extent such application would not cause the stock option to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if any stock options would be subject to Section 409A of the Code, such options shall remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable award

4

agreement and stock option plan rather than the terms of this Agreement. To the extent that the full vesting of the Executive under clause (i)(3) of the preceding sentence would violate either ERISA or the Code, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the amount which cannot become fully vested. With respect to LTIP Awards held by the Executive upon the Date of Termination, the Executive will become fully vested (and paid in accordance with Section 5.3) in a pro-rata portion of each such award upon the Date of Termination, determined by multiplying the total amount of shares or cash the Executive would have been entitled to had the Executive remained employed through the entire applicable performance period (giving effect to Section 5.3) by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of days in such performance period which have elapsed as of the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the performance period.

(D) The Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the Executive’s target annual bonus under the bonus plan maintained by the Company in respect of the fiscal year in which occurs the Date of Termination (or, if higher, in respect of the fiscal year in which occurs the Change of Control) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year through and including the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365.

6.2 (A) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive (including any payment or benefit received or to be received in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of the Executive’s employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, including the Severance Payments, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) would be subject (in whole or part), to the Excise Tax, then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or agreement, the cash Severance Payments that do not constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A shall first be reduced, all other Severance Payments that do not constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A shall be next reduced, and all other Severance Payments that do constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A shall thereafter be reduced (beginning with those payments last to be paid), to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax but only if (A) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (B) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments); provided, however, that, to the extent providing or making such election will not result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code, the Executive may elect to have the noncash Severance Payments reduced (or eliminated) prior to any reduction of the cash Severance Payments.

(B) For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) reasonably acceptable to the Executive does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code)

5

and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the Base Amount allocable to such reasonable compensation, and (iii) the value of any non cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by Tax Counsel in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 6.2, (1) the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the applicable Total Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence in the calendar year in which the applicable Total Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes and (2) except to the extent that the Executive otherwise notifies the Company, the Executive shall be deemed to be subject to the loss of itemized deductions and personal exemptions to the maximum extent provided by the Code for each dollar of incremental income

(C) At the time that payments are made under this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Executive with a written statement setting forth the manner in which such payments were calculated and the basis for such calculations including, without limitation, any opinions or other advice the Company has received from Tax Counsel or other advisors or consultants (and any such opinions or advice which are in writing shall be attached to the statement). If the Executive objects to the Company’s calculations, the Company shall pay to the Executive such portion of the Severance Payments (up to 100% thereof) as the Executive determines is necessary to result in the proper application of subsection A of this Section 6.2, subject to Section 14.2 hereof.

6.3 The payments provided in subsection (A), (B) and (D) (and to the extent applicable, subsection (C)) of Section 6.1 hereof shall be made not later than the fifteenth (15th) day following the Release Deadline (or such later day as may be required by Section 409A of the Code), provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments, and the potential limitation on such payments set forth in Section 6.2 hereof, cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Company, of the minimum amount of such payments to which the Executive is clearly entitled and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest on the unpaid remainder (or on all such payments to the extent the Company fails to make such payments when due) at 120 percent of the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than the sixtieth (60^th) day after the Release Deadline (or such later day as may be required by Section 409A of the Code). At the time that payments are made under this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Executive with a written statement setting forth the manner in which such payments were calculated and the basis for such calculations including, without limitation, any opinions or other advice the Company has received from the Tax Counsel or other advisors or consultants (and any such opinions or advice which are in writing shall be attached to the statement).

6.4 The Company also shall pay to the Executive all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder relating to the termination of the Executive’s employment, in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of Section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder. Such payments shall be made within five (5) business days after delivery of the Executive’s written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require; provided that

6

such written request must be submitted within ninety (90) days of the incurrence of the applicable fee or expense.

7. Termination Procedures and Compensation During Dispute.

7.1 Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder (other than by reason of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 10 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. Further, a Notice of Termination for Cause is required to include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board which was called and held for the purpose of considering such termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of Cause herein, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

7.2 Date of Termination. “Date of Termination,” with respect to any purported termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, including a termination described in the second sentence of Section 6.1 hereof, shall mean the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, except in the case of a termination for Cause, shall not be less than fifteen (15) days nor more than thirty (30) days, respectively, from the date such Notice of Termination is given).

7.3 Dispute Concerning Termination. If, prior to the Date of Termination (as determined without regard to this Section 7.3), the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be extended until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Term ends or (ii) the date on which the dispute is finally resolved, either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by a final judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator (which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected); provided, however, that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of dispute given by the Executive only if such notice is given in good faith and the Executive pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.

7.4 Compensation During Dispute. If a purported termination occurs following a Change in Control and during the Term and the Date of Termination is extended in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive the full compensation in effect when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to, salary) and continue the Executive as a participant in all compensation, benefit and insurance plans in which the Executive was participating when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given, until the Date of Termination, as determined in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof. Payments of compensation otherwise receivable pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be reduced to the extent cash compensation is received by the Executive from a subsequent employer for services rendered during the period described in this Section 7.4 (and any such compensation received by a subsequent employer shall be reported by the Executive to the Company), and benefits otherwise receivable pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be also be reduced in the manner provided in the penultimate sentence of

7

Section 6.1(B) hereof. Pursuant to Sections 6.1(A) and (B), amounts paid under this Section 7.4 during the pendency of a dispute shall be offset against and reduce other amounts due under such Sections.

8. No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates during the Term, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof or Section 7.4 hereof. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement (other than as expressly provided in Section 6.1(A), 6.1(B) or 7.4 hereof) shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

9. Successors; Binding Agreement.

9.1 In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement within 30 days after a written demand therefor is delivered to the Board by the Executive shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to terminate Executive’s employment and receive compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason after a Change in Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the date of the Change in Control.

9.2 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of the Executive) if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of the Executive’s estate.

10. Notices. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (b) transmitted by hand delivery, (c) sent by next-day or overnight delivery through Federal Express, UPS or another similar nationally recognized delivery service, (d) sent by facsimile or telecopy (provided a copy is contemporaneously mailed by first class mail), addressed in each case if to the Executive, to the address inserted below the Executive’s signature on the final page hereof and, if to the Company, to the address set forth below, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon actual receipt:

No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of any lack of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. This Agreement supersedes any other agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof which have been made by either party; provided, however, that this Agreement shall supersede any agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with the Company only in the event that the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated on or following a Change in Control, by the Company other than for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio. All references to sections of the Exchange Act or the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections. Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law and any additional withholding to which the Executive has agreed. The obligations of the Company and the Executive under this Agreement which by their nature may require either partial or total performance after the expiration of the Term (including, without limitation, those under Sections 6 and 7 hereof) shall survive such expiration. All pronouns shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the identity of the person or persons referred to may require.

12. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

14. Settlement of Disputes; Arbitration; 409A Compliance.

14.1 All claims by the Executive for benefits under this Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Employee Benefits Committee of the Company and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Employee Benefits Committee of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon. The Employee Benefits Committee shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review of the decision denying a claim and shall further allow the Executive to appeal to the

9

Compensation Committee of the Board a decision of the Employee Benefits Committee within sixty (60) days after notification by the Employee Benefits Committee that the Executive’s claim has been denied.

14.2 Except as provided in Section 14.3, any further dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Cincinnati, Ohio, pursuant to de novo review in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the Executive’s right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

14.3 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company that might result from any breach by the Executive of the provisions of Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the case of breach, or proposed breach, of such provisions, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to seek an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company.

14.4 It is the intention of the Company and the Executive that this Agreement not result in taxation of the Executive under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and that the Agreement shall be construed in accordance with such intention. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) with respect to the Company, any amounts (or benefits) otherwise payable to or in respect of him under this Agreement pursuant to the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company shall be delayed, to the extent required so that taxes are not imposed on the Executive pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, and shall be paid upon the earliest date permitted by Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code;

For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company will not be treated as terminated unless and until such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code;

To the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued thereunder reimbursements to the Executive under this Agreement shall be made not later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which the reimbursable expense is incurred and shall otherwise be made in a manner that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(l)(iv).

(III) the relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment to a location more than 50 miles from the Executive’s principal place of employment immediately prior to such Change in Control, except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Executive’s business travel obligations immediately prior to such Change in Control; or

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price to hypothetically sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly manner in the principal market for that asset or liability. Accounting standards prioritize the use of observable inputs in measuring fair value. The level of a fair value measurement is determined entirely by the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement. The three levels are (from highest to lowest):

Level 1 –	observable prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 –	observable inputs other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, which include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market and market-corroborated inputs; and
Level 3 –	unobservable inputs.

The following table summarizes financial assets and liabilities at fair value including derivative instruments on a gross basis and the location of these instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

To the extent derivatives in an asset position and derivatives in a liability position are with the same counterparty, they are netted in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because the company enters into master netting arrangements with each of its hedging partners. See also Note 5.

The company values fuel hedging positions by applying an observable discount rate to the current forward prices of identical hedge positions. The company values currency hedging positions by utilizing observable or market-corroborated inputs such as exchange rates, volatility and forward yield curves. The company trades only with counterparties that meet certain liquidity and creditworthiness standards, and does not anticipate non-performance by any of these counterparties. The company does not require collateral from its counterparties, nor is it obligated to provide collateral when contracts are in a liability position. However, consideration of non-performance risk is required when valuing derivative instruments, and the company includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the recognized measure of derivative instruments to reflect the full credit default spread ("CDS") applied to a net exposure by counterparty. When there is a net asset position, the company uses the counterparty's CDS; when there is a net liability position, the company uses its own estimated CDS. CDS is generally not a significant input in measuring fair value. The company's adjustment for non-performance risk was

not significant for any of its derivative instruments in any period presented. See further discussion and tabular disclosure of hedging activity in Note 5.

Fair value measurements of benefit plan assets included in net benefit plan liabilities are based on quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1) or quoted prices in inactive markets (Level 2). The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value. Level 3 fair value measurements are used in the impairment reviews of goodwill and intangible assets, which take place annually during the fourth quarter, or as circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment.

Financial instruments not carried at fair value consist of the company's parent company debt and subsidiary debt. See further fair value discussion and tabular disclosure in Note 4.

Seasonal advances may be made to certain qualified growers of other produce, which are normally collected as the other produce is harvested and sold. The company generally requires asset liens and pledges of the season's produce as collateral to support these advances. If sales of the season's produce do not result in full repayment of the advance, the company may exercise the collateral provisions or renegotiate the terms, including terms of interest, to collect the remaining balance. The company also carries payables to growers related to revenue collected from the sale of the other produce that is subsequently remitted to the grower, less outstanding grower advances and a margin retained by the company based upon the terms of the contract. Grower payables of $11 million, $21 million and $14 million at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively, are included in "Accounts payable" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Of the total gross balance of grower advances, $34 million (including $32 million classified as long-term), $50 million (including $20 million classified as long-term) and $41 million (including $10 million classified as long-term) relates to a Chilean grower of grapes and other produce as of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. In the second quarter of 2011, the company recorded a reserve of $32 million for advances made to this Chilean grower based upon additional information received during the quarter on the grower's credit quality, lower than expected collections through the 2010-2011 Chilean grape season and a decision to change the company's grape sourcing model. In the third quarter of 2011, the Chilean grower was declared bankrupt; the company continues to aggressively negotiate recovery with the bankruptcy trustee and other creditors of the grower.

The company provided seller financing in the 2009 sale of the former joint venture that sourced bananas and pineapples from the Philippines for sale in the Middle East and Asia. The financing for the sale of this joint venture is a note receivable in equal installments through 2019. The company also provided seller financing in the 2004 sale of its former Colombian subsidiary in the form of a note receivable in equal installments through 2012. The terms of the seller financing were based on the earnings power of the businesses sold. Payments are current on both seller financing notes receivable.

The company includes finance receivables in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets net of the reserve, with current portions included in "Other receivables, net" and long-term portions included in "Investments and other assets, net." Reserves are established when the company determines it is probable that the counterparty will not repay the finance receivable timely based on the company's knowledge of the counterparty's financial condition and the company's historical loss experience. Reserves are measured for each individual finance receivable using quantitative and qualitative factors, including consideration of the value of any collateral securing the seller financing or grower advance. Interest receivable on an overdue or renegotiated finance receivable is placed into nonaccrual status when collectibility becomes uncertain. Collectibility is assessed at the end of each reporting period and write-offs are recorded only when collection efforts have been abandoned. Recoveries of other receivables previously reserved are credited to income.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Note 8 – Income Taxes

As a result of sustained improvements in the performance of the company's North American businesses and the benefits of debt reduction over the last several years, the company has been generating annual U.S. taxable income beginning with tax year 2009, and expects this trend to continue, even if seasonal losses may be incurred in interim periods. As of June 30, 2011, the company's forecast included second quarter results as well as increased visibility to North American banana pricing and stabilized sourcing costs. As a result of these considerations, the company recognized an $87 million income tax benefit in the second quarter of 2011 for the reversal of valuation allowances against 100% of the U.S. federal deferred tax assets and a portion of the state deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carry forwards ("NOLs"), which are more likely than not to be realized in the future.

The company regularly reviews all deferred tax assets to estimate whether these assets are more likely than not to be realized based on all available evidence. Unless deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying value of the deferred tax asset until such time that realization becomes more likely than not. Increases and decreases in these valuation allowances are included in "Income tax benefit (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Through the second quarter of 2011, valuation allowances on available U.S. NOLs significantly affected the company's effective tax rate; if a deferred tax asset with a full valuation allowance, such as an NOL, was realized, the corresponding valuation allowance was also released, resulting in no net effect to income taxes reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As a result of the U.S. valuation allowance release in the second quarter of 2011, the company expects an increase of future reported income tax expense, but no increase in cash paid for taxes for at least several years until the NOLs are fully utilized.

As a result of reversing the valuation allowance against U.S. federal deferred tax assets, as described above, the company changed from the discrete method to the effective tax rate method for interim tax reporting. Under the effective tax rate method, the company is required to adjust its effective tax rate for each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Jurisdictions with a projected loss where no tax benefit can be

recognized are excluded from the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate. This could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate in the interim period based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. The company's overall effective tax rate may also vary significantly from period to period due to the level and mix of income among domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Many of these foreign jurisdictions have tax rates that are lower than the U.S. statutory rate, and the company continues to maintain full valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in some of these foreign jurisdictions. Other items that do not otherwise affect the company's earnings can also affect the overall effective tax rate, such as the effect of changing exchange rates on intercompany balances that can change the mix of income among domestic and foreign jurisdictions. No U.S. taxes have been accrued on foreign earnings because such earnings have been or are expected to be permanently invested in foreign operations.

The company nets deferred tax assets and liabilities by jurisdiction. The company had $26 million, $5 million and $0 of net current deferred tax assets in "Other current assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The company had $3 million, $4 million, and $0 of net non-current deferred tax assets at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The company had $51 million, $116 million and $105 million of net non-current deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate income tax determination is uncertain. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the uncertain tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is "more likely than not" that a tax position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, will be sustained upon examination based on its technical merits. If the recognition criterion is met, the second step is to measure the income tax benefit to be realized. Tax positions or portions of tax positions that do not meet these criteria are de-recognized by recording reserves. The company establishes reserves for income tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes, penalties and interest could be due. Provisions for and changes to these reserves, as well as the related net interest and penalties, are included in "Income tax benefit (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Significant judgment is required in evaluating tax positions and determining the company's provision for income taxes. At September 30, 2011, the company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $9 million, of which $7 million, if recognized, will reduce income tax expense and affect the company's effective tax rate. Interest and penalties included in income taxes was less than $1 million for both of the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and less than $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The cumulative interest and penalties included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2011 was $4 million.

In addition to the U.S. valuation allowance release as described above, "Income tax benefit (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income includes $6 million in expense in the second quarter of 2011 related to the settlement of an Italian income tax audit compared to $4 million in benefits in the third quarter of 2010 related to governmental rulings in various jurisdictions. See Note 13 under Italian Customs and Tax Cases for recent tax contingency developments related to the Italian income tax settlement. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits impacting the effective tax rate could be recognized as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitation in the amount of $3 million plus accrued interest and penalties.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]

Commitments And Contingencies

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

The company had an accrual of $4 million related to contingencies and legal proceedings in Europe at each of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2010. The company also had accruals, including accrued interest, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of $7 million at each of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 related to the plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice described below and an accrual of $4 million at September 30, 2010 related to the settlement agreement for the Colombia related shareholder derivative lawsuits described below, a portion of which was recovered through insurance. While other contingent liabilities described below may be material, the company has determined that losses in these matters are not probable and has not accrued any other amounts. Regardless of their outcomes, the company has paid, and will likely continue to incur, significant legal and other fees to defend itself in these proceedings, which may significantly affect the company's financial statements.

EUROPEAN COMPETITION LAW INVESTIGATION

As previously disclosed, in 2005, the company voluntarily notified the European Commission ("EC") that it had become aware of potential violations by the company and other industry participants under European competition laws; the company promptly stopped the conduct. The EC subsequently opened two separate investigations with which the company cooperated. In October 2008, the EC (i) confirmed the company's immunity from any fines, and (ii) announced its final decision that, between 2000 and 2002, Chiquita and other competitors had infringed EU competition rules in northern Europe. In October 2011, the EC (i) confirmed the company's immunity from any fines and (ii) announced its final decision that between July 2004 and April 2005 Chiquita and a competitor had infringed EU competition rules in southern Europe. In both cases, the confirmation of the company's final immunity was based on the company's voluntary notification to the EC, cessation of the conduct and its continued cooperation in the investigations. These are final decisions and no further proceedings or appeals are available or anticipated with regard to the company.

The company does not believe that the reporting of these matters or the cessation of the conduct has had or should in the future have any material adverse effect on the regulatory or competitive environment in which it operates.

COLOMBIA-RELATED MATTERS

DOJ Settlement. As previously disclosed, in September 2007, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia approved the company's March 2007 plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") relating to payments made by the company's former Colombian subsidiary to a Colombian paramilitary group designated under U.S. law as a foreign terrorist organization. The company had previously voluntarily disclosed these payments to the DOJ as having been made by its Colombian subsidiary to protect its employees from risks to their safety if the payments were not made. Under the terms of the plea agreement, the company pled guilty to one count of Engaging in Transactions with a Specially-Designated Global Terrorist Group without having first obtained a license from the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control. The company agreed to pay a fine of $25 million, payable in five equal annual installments with interest. Pursuant to customary provisions in the plea agreement, the Court placed the company on corporate probation for five years, during which time the company and its subsidiaries must not violate the law and must implement and/or maintain certain business processes and compliance programs; violation of these requirements could result in setting aside the principal terms of the plea agreement, including the amount of the fine imposed. The company recorded a charge of $25 million in 2006 and paid the final installment of the fine, including accrued interest in the amount of $2 million, in September 2011.

Tort Lawsuits. Between June 2007 and March 2011, nine lawsuits were filed against the company by Colombian nationals in U.S. federal courts. These lawsuits assert civil tort claims under various laws, including the Alien Tort Statute ("ATS"), 28 U.S.C. § 1350, the Torture Victim Protection Act ("TVPA"), 28 U.S.C. § 1350 note, and state laws (hereinafter "ATS lawsuits"). The plaintiffs, either individually or as members of a putative class, claim to be persons injured, or family members or legal heirs of individuals allegedly killed or injured, by armed groups that received payments from the company's former Colombian subsidiary. The plaintiffs claim that, as a result of such payments, the company should be held legally responsible for the alleged injuries. All of these ATS lawsuits have been centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings ("MDL Proceeding").

At present, claims are asserted on behalf of over 4,000 alleged victims in these nine ATS lawsuits. Plaintiffs' counsel have indicated that they may add claims for additional alleged victims to the litigation. The company also has received formal requests to participate in mediation in Colombia concerning similar claims, which could be followed by litigation in Colombia. Eight of the ATS lawsuits seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorneys' fees and costs, and one of them also seeks treble damages and disgorgement of profits, although it does not explain the basis for those demands. The other ATS lawsuit contains a specific demand of $10 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages for each of the several hundred alleged victims in that suit. The company believes the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and is defending itself vigorously.

In addition to the ATS lawsuits, between March 2008 and March 2011, four tort lawsuits were filed against the company by American citizens who allege that they were kidnapped and held hostage by an armed group in Colombia, or that they are the survivors or the estate of a survivor of American nationals kidnapped and/or killed by the same group in Colombia. The plaintiffs in these cases assert civil claims under the Antiterrorism Act ("ATA"), 18 U.S.C. § 2331, et seq., and state tort laws (hereinafter "ATA lawsuits"). These ATA lawsuits have also been centralized in the MDL Proceeding before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Similar to the ATS lawsuits described above, the ATA plaintiffs contend that the company should be held liable because its former Colombian subsidiary allegedly provided material support to the armed group. These ATA lawsuits seek unspecified compensatory damages, treble damages, attorneys' fees and costs and punitive damages. The company believes the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and is defending itself vigorously.

The company has filed motions to dismiss the nine ATS lawsuits pending in the MDL Proceeding. In June 2011, the company's motion to dismiss the first seven ATS lawsuits was granted in part and denied in part. While the court allowed plaintiffs to move forward with their TVPA claims and some ATS claims, it dismissed various claims asserted under the ATS, state law, and Colombian law. The company believes it has strong defenses to the remaining claims in these cases. Motions to dismiss (i) the remaining two ATS cases not subject to the court's June 2011 order and (ii) amended ATS claims premised on guerrilla violence that the court had dismissed without prejudice are currently pending.

Plaintiffs have filed a motion for reconsideration asking the court to reinstate all non-federal claims dismissed in the June 2011 order. Chiquita has filed a motion seeking certification of the June 2011 order for interlocutory appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Both motions are pending.

The company has also filed motions to dismiss the ATA actions pending in the MDL Proceeding. In February 2010, the company's motion to dismiss one of the ATA lawsuits was granted in part and denied in part. The company believes it has strong defenses to the remaining claims in that case. There has been no decision on the company's pending motions to dismiss the other ATA lawsuits.

Insurance Recovery. The company maintains general liability insurance policies that should provide coverage for the types of costs involved in defending the tort lawsuits described above. However, the company's primary general liability insurers whose policies are relevant to the underlying tort lawsuits have disputed their obligations to provide coverage.

In September 2008, the company filed suit in the Common Pleas Court of Hamilton County, Ohio against three of its primary general liability insurers seeking (i) a declaratory judgment with respect to the insurers' obligation to reimburse the company for defense costs that it had incurred (and is continuing to incur) in connection with the defense of the tort claims described above; and (ii) an award of damages for the insurers' breach of their contractual obligation to reimburse the company for defense costs to defend itself in these matters. A fourth primary insurer, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA ("National Union"), was later added to this case. In August 2009, the company reached a settlement agreement with one of the primary insurers under which this insurer has paid and will continue to pay a portion of defense costs for each of the underlying tort lawsuits.

In September 2009, the Court ruled that Chiquita's primary insurers that did not settle have a duty to defend the tort lawsuits that include allegations that bodily injury or property damage occurred during the period of their policies as a result of negligence. The Court also ruled that the dispute about the number of occurrences that are involved in the underlying tort cases should be resolved by a trial.

In February 2010, Chiquita reached a settlement agreement with two of the remaining three primary insurers involved in the coverage suit, under which they have paid and will continue to pay a portion of defense costs for each of the underlying tort lawsuits. National Union, the one remaining primary insurer involved in the coverage suit which has not settled with Chiquita, has also paid a portion of defense costs for each of the underlying lawsuits except one of the ATA lawsuits, which does not allege any bodily injury or property damage during the period that National Union issued primary policies to Chiquita. National Union has reserved the right to attempt to obtain reimbursement of these payments from Chiquita. A fifth primary insurer that is not a party to the coverage suits is insolvent.

In October 2010, after a trial, the Court ruled that the defense costs incurred by Chiquita in connection with the underlying tort lawsuits and that were the subject of trial—with certain limited exceptions related to media-related activity—were reasonable and that National Union was obligated to reimburse Chiquita for all defense costs not already paid by other insurers. Pursuant to the Court's order, National Union reimbursed Chiquita for almost all of the defense costs not already paid by other insurers, but continues to reserve its rights to seek reimbursement from Chiquita in the form of loss-sensitive premium, the amount of which is based in part on the number of occurrences. National Union also sought contribution from other primary insurers with whom Chiquita entered partial settlements. The number of occurrences was the subject of the second phase of the trial involving National Union, which was held in November 2010. In April 2011, the Court ruled that the underlying tort lawsuits arise out of a single occurrence, and that National Union has no legal right to contribution from the insurers who entered partial settlements with Chiquita.

The June 2011 decision of the judge presiding over the underlying tort lawsuits prompted additional motions practice in the insurance coverage lawsuit, with National Union taking the position that the dismissal of various claims asserted under state law and Colombian law, including negligence claims, terminated its defense obligation and Chiquita taking the position that the dismissal of such claims had no effect on its right to defense coverage. The Court held a hearing on these motions in September 2011; a decision is pending. After the Court rules, it is expected that the Court will enter a final appealable order that incorporates all of its substantive rulings in the case. Through September 30, 2011, the company has received $8 million as expense reimbursement from National Union, which is being deferred in "Other liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until the appeal process is complete.

With the exception of the defense costs that, as described above, three of Chiquita's primary insurers have agreed to pay pursuant to partial settlement agreements, there can be no assurance that any claims under the applicable policies will result in insurance recoveries.

Colombia Investigation. The Colombian Attorney General's Office is conducting an investigation into payments made by companies in the banana and other industries to paramilitary groups in Colombia. Included within the scope of the investigation are the payments that were the subject of the company's March 2007 plea agreement with the DOJ, described above. The company believes that it has at all times complied with Colombian law.

ITALIAN CUSTOMS AND TAX CASES

1998-2000 Cases. In October 2004, the company's Italian subsidiary, Chiquita Italia, received the first of several notices from various customs authorities in Italy stating that it is potentially liable for additional duties and taxes on the import of bananas by Socoba S.r.l. ("Socoba") from 1998 to 2000 for sale to Chiquita Italia. The customs authorities claim that (i) the amounts are due because these bananas were imported with licenses (purportedly issued by Spain) that were subsequently determined to have been forged and (ii) Chiquita Italia should be jointly liable with Socoba because (a) Socoba was controlled by a former general manager of Chiquita Italia and (b) the import transactions benefited Chiquita Italia, which arranged for Socoba to purchase the bananas from another Chiquita subsidiary and, after customs clearance, sell them to Chiquita Italia. Chiquita Italia is contesting these claims, principally on the basis of its good faith belief at the time the import licenses were obtained and used that they were valid.

Of the original notices, civil customs proceedings in an aggregate amount of €14 million ($19 million) plus interest were ultimately brought and are now pending against Chiquita Italia in four Italian jurisdictions, Genoa, Trento, Aosta and Alessandria (for €7 million, €5 million, €2 million, and €0.4 million, respectively, plus interest). The Aosta case is still at the trial level; in the Trento case, Chiquita Italia lost at the trial level and the decision has been appealed; in the Genoa case, Chiquita Italia won at the trial level, lost on appeal, and appealed to the Court of Cassation, the highest level of appeal in Italy, where the case is pending; and in the Alessandria case, Chiquita Italia lost at the trial level, but the case was stayed pending a ruling in a separate case in Rome. This Rome case was brought by Socoba (and Chiquita Italia intervened voluntarily) on the issue of whether the forged Spanish licenses used by Socoba should be regarded as genuine in view of the apparent inability to distinguish between genuine and forged licenses. In an October 2010 decision, the Rome trial court rejected Socoba's claim that the licenses should be considered genuine on the basis that Socoba had not sufficiently demonstrated how similar the forged licenses were to genuine Spanish licenses. Socoba has appealed this decision.

In an unrelated case addressing similar forged Spanish licenses used in Belgium, the EU Commission has ruled that these types of licenses were such good forgeries that they needed to be treated as genuine, and Chiquita Italia has brought this decision to the attention of the customs authorities in Genoa and Alessandria to seek relief in relation to the pending customs case. The Genoa customs authorities declined to give the benefit of the decision to Chiquita Italia but Chiquita Italia intends to appeal this decision to the tax court.

In Italy, each level of appeal involves a review of the facts and law applicable to the case and the appellate court can render a decision that disregards or substantially modifies the lower court's opinion.

Under Italian law, the amounts claimed in the Trento, Alessandria and Genoa cases have become due and payable notwithstanding the pending appeals. In March 2009, Chiquita Italia began to pay the amounts due in the Trento and Alessandria cases, €7 million ($10 million), including interest, in 36 monthly installments. In the Genoa case, Chiquita Italia began making monthly installment payments in March 2010 under a similar arrangement for the amount due of €13 million ($18 million), including interest. Following a suspension for several months, this payment obligation has now been reinstated for the underlying duties €7 million ($10 million) but no interest. If Chiquita Italia ultimately prevails in its appeals, all amounts paid will be reimbursed with interest.

2004-2005 Cases. In 2008, Chiquita Italia was required to provide documents and information to the Italian fiscal police in connection with a criminal investigation into imports of bananas by Chiquita Italia during 2004 through 2005, and the payment of customs duties on these imports. The focus of the investigation was on an importation process whereby Chiquita sold some of its bananas to holders of import licenses who imported the bananas and resold them to Chiquita Italia (indirect import challenge), a practice the company believes was legitimate under both Italian and EU law and was widely accepted by authorities across the EU and by the EC. The Italian prosecutors are pursuing this matter. If criminal liability is ultimately determined, Chiquita Italia could be civilly liable for damages, including applicable duties, taxes and penalties.

Both tax and customs authorities have issued assessment notices for the years 2004 and 2005 for this matter. The assessed balances for taxes are €6 million ($9 million) for 2004 and €5 million ($7 million) for 2005 plus, in each case, interest and penalties. Chiquita Italia appealed these assessments to the first level Rome tax court and, in June 2011, the court rejected Chiquita Italia's appeal for 2004. Chiquita Italia is in the process of appealing this decision. The assessed balances for customs for 2004 and 2005 total €18 million ($24 million) plus interest. Chiquita Italia also appealed these assessments to the first level Rome tax court, which rejected the appeal in June 2011. Chiquita Italia is in the process of appealing this decision. Under Italian law, each level of appeal involves a review of the facts and law applicable to the case and the appellate court can render a decision that disregards or substantially modifies the lower court's opinion. In each case Chiquita Italia has received or will receive payment notifications from the tax and customs authorities. Chiquita Italia will seek to have payment suspended, or, in the alternative, seek to be allowed to make payment by installments.

The fiscal police investigation also challenged the involvement of a Chiquita entity incorporated in Bermuda in the sale of bananas directly to Chiquita Italia (direct import challenge), as a result of which the tax authorities claimed additional taxes of €13 million ($18 million) for 2004 and €19 million ($26 million) for 2005, plus interest and penalties. In order to avoid a long and costly tax dispute, in April 2011, Chiquita Italia reached an agreement in principle with the Italian tax authorities to settle the dispute. Under the settlement, the tax authorities agreed that the Bermuda corporation's involvement in the importation of bananas was appropriate and Chiquita Italia agreed to an adjustment to the intercompany price paid by Chiquita Italia for the imported bananas it purchased from this company, resulting in a higher income tax liability for those years. The settlement amounts paid in August 2011 for additional income tax for 2004 and 2005, including accrued interest and penalties, were less than €1 million (less than $1 million) and €2 million ($3 million), respectively, significantly below the amounts originally claimed. The settlement is subject to approval by the Rome Tax Court. The 2004 settlement was approved in June 2011 and the 2005 settlement is expected to be approved before the end of 2011. As part of the settlement, Chiquita Italia also agreed to a pricing adjustment for its intercompany purchases of bananas for the years 2006 through 2009. As a result, in June 2011 Chiquita Italia paid €1 million ($2 million) of additional tax and interest to the Italian tax authorities in full settlement of years 2007 through 2009. In July 2011 Chiquita Italia paid a further less than €1 million (less than $1 million), in full settlement of 2006. The indirect import challenge described above is not part of the settlement.

Chiquita Italia continues to believe that it acted properly and that all the transactions for which it has received assessment notices were legitimate and reported appropriately, and, aside from those issues already settled, continues to vigorously defend the transactions at issue.

CONSUMPTION TAX REFUND

In March 2008, the company received a favorable decision from a court in Rome, Italy for the refund of certain consumption taxes paid between 1980 and 1990. The Italian Finance Administration did not appeal the decision prior to May 2009, when their right to appeal expired. In the second quarter of 2010, payment was received, and the company recognized other income of €3 million. The company has a number of other similar claims pending in different Italian jurisdictions and any gains that may occur will be recognized as the related gain contingencies are resolved. The March 2008 Rome ruling has no binding effect on pending claims in other jurisdictions, which may take years to resolve.

CREDIT FACILITY

In July 2011, Chiquita Brands L.L.C. ("CBL"), the company's main operating subsidiary, entered into an amended and restated senior secured credit facility ("Credit Facility") using the proceeds to retire CBL's Preceding Credit Facility (defined below) and purchase $133 million of the CBII's 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes due in 2015 in a tender offer at 103.333% of their par value. The company called the remaining $44 million of the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes for redemption in August 2011 at 102.958% of their par value, using the remainder of the proceeds from the Credit Facility together with available cash to redeem them. Expenses of $11 million in the third quarter of 2011 are included in "Other income (expense), net" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and "Loss on debt extinguishment, net" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow and are related to the refinancing activity. The expenses included the write-off of $4 million of remaining deferred financing fees from the Preceding Credit Facility and the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes and $6 million total premiums paid to retire the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes. The amounts in "Other income (expense), net" for the third quarter of 2010 relate to the company's repurchase of a portion of the Senior Notes more fully described below.

The Credit Facility includes a $330 million senior secured term loan ("Term Loan") and a $150 million senior secured revolving facility ("Revolver") both maturing July 26, 2016. However, the Credit Facility will mature on May 1, 2014, which is six months prior to the maturity of the company's 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes, unless the company refinances, or otherwise extends, the maturity of the 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes by such date. The Term Loan and the Revolver can be increased by up to an aggregate of $50 million at the company's request, under certain circumstances.

The Term Loan bears interest, at the company's election, at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.00% to 3.75% or a "Base Rate" plus 2.00% to 2.75%, the spread in each case depending on CBII's leverage ratio. The "Base Rate" is the higher of the administrative agent's prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. The initial interest rate as defined in the Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 3.00% through December 2, 2011 (3.25% based on September 30, 2011 LIBOR). Subject to the early maturity provision described above, the Term Loan requires quarterly principal

repayments of $4 million beginning September 30, 2011 through June 30, 2013 and quarterly principal repayments of $8 million beginning September 30, 2013 through March 31, 2016, with any remaining principal balance due at June 30, 2016 subject to the early maturity clause described above. The Term Loan may be repaid without penalty, but amounts repaid under the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

The Revolver bears interest, at the company's election, at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.75% to 3.50% or a "Base Rate" plus 1.75% to 2.50%, the spread in each case depending on CBII's leverage ratio. The applicable interest rate as defined in the Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 2.75% or "Base Rate" plus 1.75% through December 2, 2011. The company is required to pay a commitment fee on the daily unused portion of the Revolver of 0.375% to 0.50% depending on CBII's leverage ratio, initially 0.375% as defined in the Credit Facility through December 2, 2011. The Revolver has a $100 million sublimit for letters of credit, subject to a $50 million sublimit for non-U.S. currency letters of credit. At September 30, 2011, there were no borrowings under the Revolver other than having used $23 million to support letters of credit leaving an available balance of $127 million.

The Credit Facility contains two financial maintenance covenants, a CBL (operating company) leverage ratio (debt divided by EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Facility) that is no higher than 3.50x and a fixed charge ratio (the sum of CBL's EBITDA plus Net Rent divided by Fixed Charges, each as defined in the Credit Facility) that is at least 1.15x, which are substantially the same as the Preceding Credit Facility. The Credit Facility's financial covenants exclude changes in generally accepted accounting principles effective after December 31, 2010. EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility, excludes certain non-cash items including stock compensation and impairments. Fixed Charges, as defined in the Credit Facility, includes interest payments and distributions by CBL to CBII other than for normal overhead expenses, net rent and net lease expense. Net rent and net lease expense, as defined in the Credit Facility, exclude the estimated portion of ship charter costs that represents normal vessel operating expenses. Debt for purposes of the leverage covenant includes subsidiary debt plus letters of credit outstanding and synthetic leases ($62 million at September 30, 2011), which are operating leases under generally accepted accounting principles, but are capital leases for tax purposes. At September 30, 2011, the company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Facility.

CBL's obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by CBII and all of CBL's material domestic subsidiaries. The obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of CBL and its domestic subsidiaries, including trademarks, 100% of the stock of substantially all of CBL's domestic subsidiaries and no more than 65% of the stock of CBL's direct material foreign subsidiaries. CBII's obligations under its guarantee are secured by a pledge of the stock of CBL. The Credit Facility also places similar customary limitations as the Preceding Credit Facility on the ability of CBL and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, create liens, dispose of assets and make investments and capital expenditures, as well as limitations on CBL's ability to make loans, distributions or other transfers to CBII. However, payments to CBII are permitted: (i) whether or not any event of default exists or is continuing under the Credit Facility, for all routine operating expenses in connection with the company's normal operations and to fund certain liabilities of CBII, including interest and principal payments on the Senior Notes (defined below), Convertible Notes and any notes used to refinance existing Senior Notes and Convertible Notes, and (ii), subject to no continuing event of default and compliance with the financial covenants, for other financial needs, including (A) payment of dividends and distributions to the company's shareholders and (B) repurchases of the company's common stock. The Credit Facility also eased certain restrictions that were contained in the Preceding Credit Facility over the company's ability to carry out mergers and acquisitions. Based on the company's September 30, 2011 covenant ratios, distributions to CBII, other than for normal overhead expenses and interest on the company's Senior Notes and Convertible Notes, were limited to approximately $60 million. The Credit Facility also requires that the net proceeds of significant asset sales be used within 180 days to prepay outstanding amounts, unless those proceeds are reinvested in the company's business.

7 ¹/2% AND 8 ⁷/8% SENIOR NOTES

As described above, the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes were retired in the third quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the company repurchased in the open market at a small discount $13 million principal amount of its senior notes, consisting of $11 million of the 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes and $2 million of the 8 ⁷/8% Senior Notes. These 2010 repurchases resulted in a small extinguishment loss, including the write off of deferred financing fees and transaction costs. The 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes are callable, in whole or from time to time in part at 102.50% of par value, at 101.25% of par value beginning November 1, 2011 and at par value after November 1, 2012.

4.25% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

The company's $200 million of Convertible Notes:

• are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the parent company and rank equally with the company's 7 ¹/2% Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes").

• are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 44.5524 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $22.45 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment based on certain dilutive events, including stock splits, stock dividends and other distributions (including cash dividends) in respect of the common stock. Holders of the Convertible Notes may tender their notes for conversion between May 15 and August 14, 2016, without limitation. Prior to May 15, 2016, holders of the Convertible Notes may tender the notes for conversion only under certain circumstances, in accordance with their terms.

• may be settled, upon conversion, in shares, in cash or in any combination thereof at the company's option; the company's current intent and policy is to settle with a cash amount equal to the principal portion together with shares of the company's common stock to the extent that the obligation exceeds such principal portion.

• are callable for redemption beginning February 19, 2014, under certain circumstances relating to the company's common stock trading price.

• are accounted for in two components: (i) a debt component included in "Long-term debt of parent company" recorded at the issuance date, representing the estimated fair value of a similar debt instrument without the debt for equity conversion feature; and (ii) an equity component included in "Capital surplus" representing the issuance date estimated fair value of the conversion feature. This separation results in the debt being carried at a discount, which is accreted to the principal amount of the debt component using the effective interest rate method over the expected life of the Convertible Notes (through the maturity date).

To estimate the fair value of the debt component, the company discounted the principal balance to result in an effective interest rate of 12.50% for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The fair value of the equity component was estimated as the difference between the full principal amount and the estimated fair value of the debt component, net of an allocation of issuance costs and income tax effects. These were Level 3 fair value measurements (described in Note 6) and will be reconsidered in the event that any of the Convertible Notes are converted.

The carrying amounts of the debt and equity components of the Convertible Notes are as follows:

	September 30,			December 31,			September 30,
(In thousands)	2011			2010			2010
Principal amount of debt component1	$	200,000		$	200,000		$	200,000
Unamortized discount		(58,883	)		(65,239	)		(67,232	)

Equity component, net of issuance costs and income taxes	$	81,694		$	81,694		$	81,694

¹  As of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the Convertible Notes' "if-converted" value did not exceed their principal amount because the company's common stock price was below the conversion price of the Convertible Notes.

The interest expense related to the Convertible Notes was as follows:

	Quarter Ended Sept. 30,				Nine Months Ended Sept. 30,

PRECEDING CREDIT FACILITY

The Credit Facility replaced the remaining portion of the previous $350 million senior secured credit facility ("Preceding Credit Facility") that consisted of a senior secured term loan (the "Preceding Term Loan") and a $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Preceding Revolver").

At the company's election, the interest rate for the Preceding Term Loan was based on LIBOR plus a spread based on CBII's leverage ratio and was 4.06% and 4.06% at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The Preceding Term Loan required quarterly principal repayments of $2.5 million through March 31, 2010 and required $5 million thereafter for the life of the loan, with any remaining balance to be paid upon maturity at March 31, 2014.

There were no borrowings under the Preceding Revolver other than using $22 million to support letters of credit leaving an available balance of $128 million at each of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010. The company was required to pay a fee of 0.50% per annum on the daily unused portion of the Preceding Revolver. The Preceding Revolver contained a $100 million sub-limit for letters of credit, subject to a $50 million sub-limit for non-U.S. currency letters of credit.

Hedging [Abstract]

Hedging

Note 5 – Hedging

Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gains or losses is deferred as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" and reclassified into net income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects net income. Gains and losses on derivatives representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in net income currently. See further information regarding fair value measurements and balances of derivatives in Note 6.

To manage its exposure to exchange rates on the conversion of euro-based revenue into U.S. dollars, the company uses average rate euro put options, and in short-term periods also uses average rate euro call options and average rate euro forward contracts. Average rate euro put options require an upfront premium payment and can reduce the risk of a decline in the value of the euro without limiting the benefit of an increase in the value of the euro. Average rate euro call options reduce the company's net option premium expense, but limit the benefit from an increase in the value of the euro. Average rate forward contracts lock in the value of the euro and do not require an upfront premium. At September 30, 2011, the amount of unrealized net gains on the company's currency hedging portfolio which would be reclassified to net income, if realized, in the next twelve months, is $5 million; these net gains were deferred in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)."

Most of the company's foreign operations use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. As a result, balance sheet translation adjustments due to currency fluctuations are recognized currently in "Cost of sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. To minimize the resulting volatility, the company also enters into 30-day euro forward contracts each month to economically hedge the net monetary assets exposed to euro exchange rates. These 30-day euro forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments, and gains and losses on these forward contracts are recognized currently in "Cost of sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In the third quarter of 2011, the company recognized $9 million of gains on 30-day euro forward contracts, and $13 million of losses from fluctuations in the value of the net monetary assets exposed to euro exchange rates. In the

third quarter of 2010, the company recognized $14 million of losses on 30-day euro forward contracts, and $19 million of income from fluctuations in the value of the net monetary assets exposed to euro exchange rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the company recognized $1 million of loss on 30-day euro forward contracts, and $1 million of losses from fluctuations in the value of the net monetary assets exposed to euro exchange rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the company recognized $6 million of gains on 30-day euro forward contracts, and $8 million of expense from fluctuations in the value of the net monetary assets exposed to euro exchange rates.

The company also enters into bunker fuel forward contracts for its shipping operations, which permit it to lock in fuel purchase prices for up to three years and thereby minimize the volatility that changes in fuel prices could have on its operating results. These bunker fuel forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. In the third quarter 2011, the company implemented a new shipping configuration, the first change of such magnitude in several years. These changes are expected to reduce the company's total bunker fuel consumption and change the ports where bunker fuel will be purchased. As a result of these changes, accounting standards required the company to recognize $12 million of unrealized gains on bunker fuel forward contracts in "Cost of sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the third quarter of 2011 originally intended to hedge bunker fuel purchases in future periods. These unrealized gains, previously deferred in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" were recognized because the forecasted hedged bunker fuel purchases, as documented by the company, became probable not to occur. Cash flow hedging relationships of many of the affected bunker fuel forward contracts were reapplied to other bunker fuel purchases, however, accounting standards require these to be based on the market prices at the date the new hedging relationships were established, even though there is no change in the hedging instrument (see "Hedged Average Rate/Price" column in the table below). Bunker fuel forward contracts that were in excess of our expected core fuel demand were sold and gains of $2 million were realized. At September 30, 2011, unrealized net gains of $9 million on the company's bunker fuel forward contracts were deferred in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)," including net gains of $11 million which would be reclassified to net income, if realized, in the next twelve months.

Earnings Per Share

Note 1 – Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") are calculated as follows:

Earnings (loss) per common share – basic:

Discontinued operations		0.00			0.00			0.00		(0.07	)
	$	(0.63	)	$	(0.19	)	$	1.61	$	1.71
Earnings (loss) per common share – diluted:

	$	(0.63	)	$	(0.19	)	$	1.58	$	1.68

If the company had generated net income for the third quarters of 2011 or 2010, 46.3 million shares and 45.6 million shares would have been used to calculate diluted EPS in those quarters, respectively. The assumed conversions to common stock of stock options, other stock awards and 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2016 ("Convertible Notes") are excluded from the diluted EPS computations for periods in which these items, on an individual basis, have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted EPS. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes would have been anti-dilutive because the average trading price of the common shares was below the initial conversion price of $22.45 per share. Additionally, shares were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation related to restricted stock, stock options and long term incentive plans because they were anti-dilutive. These excluded shares were 1.9 million for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and 1.2 million and 1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation

Stock compensation expense relates primarily to the company's performance-based long-term incentive program ("LTIP") and time-vested restricted stock unit awards. LTIP awards cover three-year performance cycles and are measured partly on performance criteria (cumulative earnings per share or cumulative free cash flow generation) and partly on market criteria (total shareholder return relative to a peer group of companies). In September 2010, the LTIP was modified to allow a portion of the awards to be paid in cash in an amount substantially equal to the estimated tax liability triggered by such awards. LTIP awards outstanding at September 2010 were modified, which changed them to liability-classified awards from equity-classified awards. Both liability-classified and equity-classified awards recognize the fair value of the award ratably over the performance period; however, equity-classified awards only measure the fair value at the grant date, whereas liability-classified awards measure the fair value at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value of the award cumulatively adjusted through expense each period. For modified awards, expense is recognized at the greater of the equity-method or the liability-method.

Changes in Capital surplus are primarily a result of stock compensation:

	Quarter Ended Sept. 30,						Nine Months Ended Sept. 30,
(In thousands)	2011			2010			2011			2010
Reclassification between liabilities and Capital surplus for modifications	$	1,577		$	(6,656	)	$	3,655		$	(6,656	)

Capital surplus increase (decrease)	$	2,696		$	(5,311	)	$	10,680		$	3,400

¹  In addition to this stock-based compensation expense, less than $1 million and $1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the liability-method LTIP plan in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, that did not affect Capital Surplus. There were no liability-method plans in 2010.

Fair value of LTIP awards measured on performance criteria are based on the company's expectations of performance achievement and the closing stock price on the measurement date, a Level 3 fair value measurement. Fair value of LTIP awards based on market criteria are measured using a Monte-Carlo simulation using publicly available data, a Level 2 fair value measurement. See Note 6 for further discussion of fair value measurements.

Note 14 – Deconsolidation, Divestitures and Discontinued Operations

DANONE CHIQUITA FRUITS JOINT VENTURE

In May 2010, the company sold 51% of its European smoothie business to Danone S.A., for €15 million ($18 million) and deconsolidated it. The deconsolidation and sale resulted in the creation of Danone Chiquita Fruits SAS ("Danone JV"), which is a joint venture intended to develop, manufacture, and sell packaged fruit juices and fruit smoothies in Europe and is financed by Chiquita and Danone in amounts proportional to their ownership interests. The gain on the deconsolidation and sale of the European smoothie business was $32 million, which includes a gain of $15 million related to the remeasurement of the retained investment in European smoothie business to its fair value of $16 million on the closing date. No income tax expense resulted from the gain on the sale because sufficient foreign NOLs were in place and, when those foreign NOLs were used, the related valuation allowance was released. The fair value of the investment was a Level 3 measurement (see Note 6) based upon the consideration paid by Danone for 51% of the Danone JV, including a control discount. The company's 49% investment in the joint venture is accounted for as an equity method investment and is included in the Salads and Healthy Snacks segment. Future company contributions to the Danone JV are limited to an aggregate €14 million ($19 million) through 2013 without unanimous consent of the owners. The company contributed €3 million ($5 million) during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and a total of €4 million ($5 million) during 2010. The company's carrying value of the Danone JV was $18 million as of September 30, 2011.

The Danone JV is a variable interest entity; however, the company is not the primary beneficiary, and does not consolidate it. The Danone JV will obtain sales, local marketing, and product supply chain management services from the company's subsidiaries; however, the power to direct the JV's most significant activities is controlled by Danone S.A.

SALE OF EQUITY INVESTMENT

In April 2010, the company sold its 49% investment in Coast Citrus Distributors, Inc. for $18 million in cash, which approximated its carrying value. Prior to the sale, the company accounted for this investment using the equity method.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In August 2008, the company sold its subsidiary, Atlanta AG, and the 2010 loss of $3 million from discontinued operations was related to new information about indemnification obligations for tax liabilities. In addition, approximately €6 million ($7 million) was received in February 2010 related to consideration from the sale which had been held in escrow to secure any potential obligations of the company under the sale agreement.
