Ladies and Gentlemen:

You (“you” or the “Borrower”) have advised Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (“MSSF”), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPMS”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”, and together with MSSF and each party that becomes a party to this Commitment Letter as an additional “Commitment Party” pursuant to Section 1 hereof, collectively, the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”) that you intend (i) to commence, through a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), a tender offer (as such tender offer may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Tender Offer”) for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of The Hillshire Brands Company (the “Target”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Acquired Business”) together with any related rights under any shareholder rights agreements (collectively, the “Shares”), including any Shares that may become outstanding upon the exercise of options or other rights to acquire Shares after the commencement of the Tender Offer but before the consummation of the Tender Offer on the Closing Date (as defined below), for a purchase price consisting of cash consideration set forth in the Tender Offer (including the initial offer to purchase and all other material documents entered into by you or your subsidiaries in connection with the Tender Offer, such documents, including all exhibits thereto, as they may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, are collectively referred to herein as the “Tender Offer Documents”), and (ii) promptly following the Closing Date (as defined below), to effect a merger (the “Merger”, and together with the Tender Offer, the “Acquisition”) of Merger Sub with and into the Target, in each case pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger to be entered into among the Borrower, Merger Sub and the Target (the “Acquisition Agreement”, and together with the Tender Offer Documents, the “Acquisition Documents”). After giving effect to the Acquisition, the Target will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower.

In that connection, you have advised us that in connection with the Acquisition you intend to obtain (a) up to $2,200,000,000 (as may be increased by up to $300,000,000 as described below) of term loans under a new senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), (b) up to $8,200,000,000 of gross proceeds from the issuance by the Borrower of unsecured debt, equity, equity-linked or other securities (the “Permanent Financing”) and/or (c) to the extent the Borrower does not borrow term loans under the Term Loan Facility or issue the Permanent Financing up to such amount on or prior to the Closing Date, loans under a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility (the “Bridge

Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $8,200,000,000. It is understood and agreed that upon the Effective Date (as defined below), the commitments with respect to the Bridge Facility shall automatically be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of the commitments under the Term Loan Facility in accordance with the “Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions” section and the other terms and provisions of the separate second amended and restated commitment letter dated as of June 9, 2014 in respect of the Bridge Facility and a 364-day revolving credit facility (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Bridge and Revolving Facilities Commitment Letter”).

The Acquisition, the Term Loan Facility, the issuance of the Permanent Financing, the Bridge Facility, the Amendment (as defined the Bridge and Revolving Facilities Commitment Letter), the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in the Bridge and Revolving Facilities Commitment Letter) and the transactions contemplated by or related to the foregoing are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions”.

The date on which all the conditions set forth in Exhibit A of this Commitment Letter under “IV. Certain Conditions – Conditions to Effective Date” are satisfied is referred to herein as the “Effective Date”. The date on which all conditions precedent to the consummation of the Tender Offer as set forth in the Acquisition Documents are satisfied and on which the Term Loan Facility shall initially become available is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

1. Commitments and Engagement. (i) MSSF is pleased to commit to provide, severally and not jointly, (x) up to $103,125,000 of the 3-Year Tranche of the Term Loan Facility referred to in the Term Sheets (as defined below) and (y) up to $46,875,000 of the 5-Year Tranche A of the Term Loan Facility referred to in the Term Sheets, and (ii) JPMorgan is pleased to commit to provide, severally and not jointly, (x) up to $103,125,000 of the 3-Year Tranche of the Term Loan Facility referred to in the Term Sheets and (y) up to $46,875,000 of the 5-Year Tranche A of the Term Loan Facility referred to in the Term Sheets, in each case, on the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (including the Annex attached thereto) and subject to the Conditions Precedent to Initial Availability of Loans set forth in Exhibit B (the “Conditions Precedent Exhibit” and, together with Exhibits A, C and D hereto, the “Term Sheets” and collectively with this letter, this “Commitment Letter”).

The Arrangers (as defined below) are also pleased to agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other lenders acceptable to the Borrower that will participate in the Term Loan Facility on the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter and the Term Sheets (such financial institutions and/or lenders, the “Lenders”); provided, however, that, such Lenders shall be commercial or investment banks, in each case, whose senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness has a Minimum Rating (as defined in the Fee Letter) by not less than two of Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (such banks, “Investment Grade Lenders”); provided, further, that notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, following the Effective Date, the Borrower shall have the consent rights with respect to assignments and participations of commitments and loans under the Term Loan Facility as set forth in the Term Sheets; provided, further, that in no event shall any Lender be a competitor (or a reasonably identifiable affiliate of such competitor) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries or otherwise be an institution that is identified as an ineligible Lender in writing by the Borrower to the Arrangers prior to the date hereof (each such person a “Disqualified Institution” and collectively, the “Disqualified Institutions”). MSSF and JPMorgan are referred to herein collectively as the “Initial Commitment Parties”.

It is understood that (i) MSSF and JPMS shall act as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (in such capacities, the “Arrangers”), (ii) MSSF shall act as sole administrative agent for each of the 3-Year Tranche and the 5-Year Tranche A of the Term Loan Facility (in such capacity, the “3-Year Tranche and the 5-Year Tranche A Administrative Agent”), (iii) CoBank, ACB shall act as sole

2

administrative agent for the 5-Year Tranche B of the Term Loan Facility (in such capacity, the “5-Year Tranche B Administrative Agent”; each of the 3-Year Tranche and the 5-Year Tranche A Administrative Agent and the 5-Year Tranche B Administrative Agent, an “Administrative Agent”, and, together, the “Administrative Agents”) and (iv) JPMorgan shall act as sole syndication agent for the Term Loan Facility. Except as set forth below, you agree that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation will be paid in connection with the Term Loan Facility, unless you and we shall agree; provided that you may, on or prior to the date which is 14 days after the date hereof, appoint up to one additional agent, co-agent, lead arranger, bookrunner, manager, or arranger or confer other titles in respect of the 5-Year Tranche B of the Term Loan Facility (the “Additional Arranger”) in a manner and with economics determined by you in consultation with the Arrangers and the titles, role and economics of such Additional Arranger shall be documented in a separate letter reasonably satisfactory to the Arrangers and you. It is further agreed that MSSF will have “upper left” placement, and JPMS will have placement immediately to the right of MSSF, in all documentation used in connection with the Term Loan Facility and shall have all roles and responsibilities customarily associated with such placement.

This Commitment Letter shall not constitute or give rise to any obligation on the part of the Initial Commitment Parties or any of their respective affiliates to provide or commit to provide the balance of the commitments for the Term Loan Facility, nor any portion of any Increase Amount (as defined below), nor is this Commitment Letter, except as expressly set forth herein, an expressed or an implied commitment by us or any of our respective affiliates to act in any capacity in any such transactions referred to herein, to provide or arrange any financing or to purchase or place any debt securities or loans; any such commitment or obligation will arise, if at all, only to the extent in a separate commitment letter or agreement with respect thereto and setting forth the terms and conditions thereof.

From the date hereof until and including the Effective Date, at the option of the Borrower, the aggregate commitments in respect of the Term Loan Facility may be increased in an aggregate amount (an “Increase Amount”) not to exceed $300,000,000 with the agreement of the Arrangers and any Commitment Party which (in its discretion) is willing to provide such additional commitments. Such Increase Amount may be allocated to any tranche of the Term Loan Facility as the Borrower may determine; provided that such Increase Amount may only be allocated to the 3-Year Tranche and 5-Year Tranche A of the Term Loan Facility if allocated to both the 3-Year Tranche and 5-Year Tranche A of the Term Loan Facility pro rata based on the Original Committed Amounts (as defined in the Term Sheets) of such tranches hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter (as defined below), the Term Loan Documentation (as defined in the Conditions Precedent Exhibit) or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Acquisition, (a) the only conditions to the Effective Date shall be those set forth in Exhibit A of this Commitment Letter under “IV. Certain Conditions – Conditions to Effective Date” including obtaining commitments from Lenders in excess of the commitments of the Initial Commitment Parties pursuant to this Section 1 for an amount not less than $1,400,000,000 or such lesser amount as agreed to by us (the “Required Commitments”), (b) the only conditions to the initial availability of our commitments hereunder on the Closing Date shall be those set forth in the Conditions Precedent Exhibit, and upon satisfaction (or waiver) of such conditions, the initial funding of the Term Loan Facility shall occur (it being understood that there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder, including compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Term Loan Documentation, other than those that are expressly stated herein to be conditions to the initial availability of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date as set forth in the Conditions Precedent Exhibit) and (c) the only representations relating to the Borrower, the Target and their respective subsidiaries and their respective businesses the accuracy of which shall be a condition to availability of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date shall be (i) the Acquisition Agreement Representations (as defined in the Conditions Precedent Exhibit) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined in the Conditions Precedent Exhibit).

2. Syndication. The Arrangers intend to commence syndication efforts with respect to the Term Loan Facility promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter by the parties hereto, and you agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to actively assist the Arrangers until the earlier of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the termination of this Commitment Letter in completing a syndication reasonably satisfactory to the Arrangers and you as soon as practicable after your acceptance hereof. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Arrangers’ syndication efforts benefit from your existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) direct contact between senior management and advisors of the Borrower, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand, at reasonable times and intervals and in such manner to be mutually agreed, (c) your assistance in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other reasonably available and customary marketing materials with respect to you and your subsidiaries (other than materials the disclosure of which would violate a confidentiality agreement or waive attorney-client privilege) to be used in connection with the syndication and (d) the hosting, with the Arrangers, of one or more meetings or conference calls with prospective Lenders, at times and locations to be mutually agreed upon, as deemed reasonably necessary by the Arrangers. Until the earlier of termination of this Commitment Letter and the Effective Date, you agree that there shall be no competing offering, placement or arrangement of any commercial bank or other syndicated credit facilities by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to impair the primary syndication of the Term Loan Facility in any material respect, other than (i) the Bridge Facility, (ii) the 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility, (iii) the Amendment, (iv) any borrowings under the Existing Revolving Facility (as defined in the Term Sheets) (including pursuant to extensions, modifications and replacements thereof) up to $1.25 billion, to the extent that each of MSSF and JPMS is offered a role to act as an active joint lead arranger having committed to provide, severally and not jointly, an amount equal to that of the other “top-tier lenders” in connection with any such extension, modification or replacement, (v) any borrowings under existing ordinary course foreign credit lines (including any renewal, extension or replacement thereof), (vi) indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Acquisition Agreement, and (vii) any purchase money indebtedness, capital lease obligations, industrial revenue bonds and similar obligations, in each case in the ordinary course of business. In addition, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain ratings giving effect to the Transactions at least 10 business days prior to the Closing Date from Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw Hill Corporation (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) with respect to the senior unsecured debt of the Borrower. The Arrangers, subject to your rights and the applicable limitations set forth in this Section 2 of the Commitment Letter, will manage all aspects of the syndication in consultation with you, including, without limitation, decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate and the allocations of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. In acting in their respective capacities as Arrangers, each Arranger will have no responsibility other than to arrange the syndication as set forth herein and shall in no event be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties. To assist the Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you agree to (and in the case of the Acquired Business, consistent with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement or any non-disclosure agreement between you and Target, to use commercially reasonable efforts to) promptly prepare and provide to us all customary and reasonably available financial and other information with respect to the Borrower, and to the extent reasonably practicable and subject to the limitations and compliance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement or such non-disclosure agreement, if applicable, the Acquired Business and each of their respective subsidiaries (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall include if and when required to be delivered by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X and the rules and regulations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), audited consolidated annual financial statements of the Acquired Business, as well as unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (which shall have been reviewed by the independent

4

accountants for the Acquired Business as provided in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100) prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP) and the Transactions, including, without limitation, customary projections concerning the Borrower and its subsidiaries prepared by the Borrower (together with any estimates, forecasts, budgets or other forward looking information concerning the Borrower and its subsidiaries prepared by the Borrower, the “Projections”), as the Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the Term Loan Facility; provided, that each of the foregoing to the extent relating to the Acquired Business may only be required (x) if and to the extent consistent with, and subject to the limitations and compliance with the terms of, the Acquisition Agreement and/or such non-disclosure agreement or (y) are otherwise available, or may be derived from information available, to you. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, neither the commencement nor the completion of any syndication of the Term Loan Facility nor any of your obligations to assist with the syndication of or obtain ratings with respect to the Term Loan Facility shall constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date or at any time thereafter. Each of the Arrangers and the Borrower agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, execute and deliver the Term Loan Documentation promptly following the execution of this Commitment Letter.

You agree that the Arrangers may make available any Information (as defined below) and Projections (collectively, the “Company Materials”) to potential Lenders by posting the Company Materials on IntraLinks, the Internet or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”). You further agree to assist, at the reasonable request of the Arrangers, in the preparation of a version of a confidential information memorandum and other customary marketing materials and presentations to be used in connection with the syndication of the Term Loan Facility to potential Lenders who do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws) with respect to the Borrower, the Target or their respective subsidiaries, consisting exclusively of information or documentation that is either (a) publicly available (or contained in the prospectus or other offering memorandum for any securities to be issued by the Borrower in connection with the Transactions) or (b) not material with respect to the Borrower, the Target or their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of foreign (if applicable), United States federal and state securities laws (all such information and documentation being “Public Lender Information”). Any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as “Private Lender Information.” You further agree, at our reasonable request, to identify any document to be disseminated by the Arrangers to any Lender or potential Lender in connection with the syndication of the Term Loan Facility as containing solely Public Lender Information (provided that the Borrower has been afforded an opportunity to comply with the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosure obligations). Unless identified by you as containing solely Public Lender Information, each document to be disseminated by the Arrangers will be deemed to be Private Lender Information unless you, after receipt thereof, advise the Arrangers otherwise in writing. You acknowledge and agree that the following documents may be distributed to potential Lenders (other than Disqualified Institutions) who wish to receive only Public Lender Information unless, after receipt thereof, you or your counsel advise the Arranger in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution to the contrary (provided that you have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comply with any applicable SEC disclosure obligations): (i) drafts and final Term Loan Documentation; (ii) administrative materials prepared by the Arrangers for potential Lenders (e.g., a lender meeting invitation, allocations and/or funding and closing memoranda); and (iii) notification of changes in the terms of the Term Loan Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Company Materials and the Private Lender Information are both subject to the confidentiality provisions in this Commitment Letter.

3. Information. You hereby represent (but the accuracy of such representation shall not be a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date) (with respect to information relating to the Acquired Business, to your knowledge) that (a) all

5

written information (other than the Projections or information of a general economic or industry specific nature) (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to us or any of our affiliates or any Lender or any potential Lender by you, or any of your representatives is or will be, when taken as a whole, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished and taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, after giving effect to all supplements or updates thereto and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to us or any of our affiliates or any Lender or potential Lender by you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time made and furnished (it being understood that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, any of which are beyond your control, that actual results during the period or periods covered by such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material, and that no assurance can be given that any particular Projection will be realized). You agree to supplement (and, with respect to the Acquired Business, to use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement) the Information and Projections from time to time until the earlier of (i) the termination of this Commitment Letter and (ii) the Effective Date, if you become aware that any of the representations in the previous sentence would be incorrect if such Information and/or Projections were being furnished at such time so that the representations and covenants in the immediately preceding sentence remain correct. You acknowledge that we will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.

We reserve the right to employ the services of one or more of our affiliates in providing services contemplated by this Commitment Letter and to allocate, in whole or in part, to such affiliates certain fees payable to us in such manner as we and our affiliates may agree. You acknowledge that, subject to Section 8 below, we may share with any of our affiliates participating in the Transactions, and such affiliates may share with us, any information related to the Transactions, you and your subsidiaries or the Acquired Business or any of the matters contemplated hereby in connection with the Transactions.

4. Fees. As consideration for our commitment hereunder and the Arrangers’ agreement to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay the non-refundable fees set forth in the Term Sheets, in the Fee Letter delivered herewith from MSSF, JPMorgan and JPMS to you relating to the Term Loan Facility and dated the date hereof (the “Fee Letter”) and in any other fee agreements agreed to by the relevant parties hereto.

5. Indemnity and Expenses; Other Activities. You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each Commitment Party and its affiliates and each officer, director, employee, advisor and agent of each Commitment Party or its affiliates (each, an “indemnified person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which any such indemnified person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Term Loan Facility, the use of the proceeds thereof, the Transactions or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any indemnified person is a party thereto and regardless of whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its affiliates (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), and to reimburse each indemnified person within 30 days after receipt of a reasonably detailed written invoice therefor (together with documentation supporting such reimbursement request) for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending, preparing to defend or participating in any such Proceeding (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of (i) a single counsel selected by the Arrangers for all such indemnified persons, taken as a whole, and (ii) solely in the case of a potential or actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all affected indemnified persons, taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction for all such indemnified persons, taken as a whole, as the Arrangers may deem appropriate in

6

their good faith judgment)); provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any indemnified person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent (i) they are found by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such indemnified person (or of such indemnified person’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, advisors or agents), (ii) they arise as a result of such indemnified person’s (or such indemnified person’s affiliates’, officers’, directors’, employees’, advisors’, or agents’) material breach of its obligations under this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Term Loan Documentation or (iii) they relate to disputes solely among indemnified persons that are not arising out of any act or omission by you or any of your affiliates, other than claims against any agent, arranger, bookrunner or other similar role under the Term Loan Facility in its capacity as such, and (b) to reimburse each Commitment Party and its affiliates within 30 days (or, if the invoice relates to reimbursements in connection with the Transactions and such invoice was submitted at least 2 business days prior to the Closing Date, within 2 business days) after receipt of a reasonably detailed written invoice (together with documentation supporting such reimbursement request) for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (but, limited in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of (i) a single counsel selected by the Arrangers for all such persons, taken as a whole, and (ii) solely in the case of a potential or actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all such affected persons, taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction for all such persons, taken as a whole, as the Arrangers may deem appropriate in their good faith judgment)) incurred in connection with the Term Loan Facility and any related documentation (including, without limitation, this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Term Loan Documentation) or the administration, amendment, modification or waiver thereof or the enforcement of any rights or remedies hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, no party shall be liable (i) for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of Information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter by, such indemnified person (or such indemnified person’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, advisors or agents) or other party, or (ii) for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Term Loan Facility, the use of the proceeds thereof, the Transactions or any related transaction; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit your indemnification obligations to the extent set forth hereinabove to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such indemnified person is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effectuated without your prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but, if settled with your written consent, or if there is a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction against an indemnified person in any such Proceeding for which you are required to indemnify such indemnified person pursuant to the preceding paragraph, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the preceding paragraph. You shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected indemnified person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified person. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, each indemnified person shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by you under the paragraph above to such indemnified person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent such indemnified person is not (or is found not to be) entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof.

7

You acknowledge that each Commitment Party and its affiliates (the term “Commitment Party” as used below in this paragraph being understood to include such affiliates) may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including, without limitation, financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you may have conflicting interests or a commercial or competitive relationship with and otherwise. In particular, you acknowledge that each of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”) and JPMS is acting as a buy-side financial advisor to you in connection with the Transactions. You agree not to assert or allege any claim based on actual or potential conflict of interest arising or resulting from, on the one hand, the engagement of MS&Co. or JPMS in such capacity and our obligations hereunder, on the other hand. The Initial Commitment Parties and each other Commitment Party hereto (i) acknowledge the retention of each of MS&Co. and JPMS as a buy-side financial advisor to the Borrower and (ii) acknowledge that such retention does not create any fiduciary duties or fiduciary responsibilities to it on the part of MSSF, JPMS or their respective affiliates. No Commitment Party will use confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby or other relationships with you in connection with the performance by the Commitment Parties of services for other companies, and no Commitment Party will furnish any such information to other companies or their advisors. You also acknowledge that no Commitment Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other companies. You acknowledge that each Commitment Party is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship on an arm’s length basis, and the parties hereto do not intend that any Commitment Party or its affiliates act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person. The Borrower hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgments with respect to any transactions (including the Transactions) entered into between it and the Commitment Parties. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Commitment Party has advised and none is advising the Borrower as to any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax matters, and that the Borrower is consulting its own advisors concerning such matters to the extent it deems appropriate.

The parties

8

hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and agree that any final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit upon the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

		(i)	a $1,100,000,000 tranche (the “Original 3-Year Tranche Committed Amount”) of senior unsecured loans (“3-Year Tranche” and the Loans thereunder the “3-Year Tranche Loans”);
		(ii)	a $500,000,000 tranche (the “Original 5-Year Tranche A Committed Amount” and together with the Original 3-Year Tranche Committed Amount, the “Original Committed Amounts”) of senior unsecured loans (“5-Year Tranche A”); and

	(iii)	a $600,000,000 tranche of senior unsecured loans (“5-Year Tranche B”, together with the 5-Year Tranche A, the “5- Year Tranche” and the Loans under the 5-Year Tranche, the “5-Year Tranche Loans”);
	provided, that until and including the Effective Date, at the option of the Borrower, the aggregate commitments in respect of the Term Loan Facility may be increased in an aggregate amount (an “Increase Amount”) not to exceed $300,000,000 with the agreement of the Arrangers and any Commitment Party which (in its discretion) is willing to provide such additional commitments.

Assignments will be by novation, i.e. assignees will succeed to the rights and obligations of the assigning Lenders. Participations will be without restriction (other than no participations can be made to Disqualified Institutions), and participants will be entitled to yield and increased cost protection to the same extent as (but no greater than) the participating Lenders. Voting rights of participants will be limited as set forth in the Existing Revolving Facility. The Administrative Agents shall not have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agents shall have no liability with respect to any assignment or participation made to a person that is a Disqualified Institution; it being understood that the Administrative Agents shall confirm that the requirements of any assignment documentation are satisfied. Promissory notes shall be issued under the Term Loan Facility only upon request.
Defaulting Lender:	The Term Loan Documentation shall contain “Defaulting Lender” provisions customary for facilities of this type.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III (and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated under each of the foregoing or issued in connection therewith) shall be deemed to be changes in law referred to in clause (a) above regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
Expenses and Indemnification:	The Borrower shall pay, (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agents, the Syndication Agent and the Arrangers and their affiliates associated with the syndication of the Term Loan Facility and the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Term Loan Documentation and any amendment or waiver with respect thereto (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of a single counsel selected by the Administrative Agents and of such special and local counsel, as the

- 8 -

	Administrative Agents may deem appropriate in their good faith discretion)) and (b) all out-of- pocket expenses of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) in connection with the enforcement of the Term Loan Documentation.
	The Administrative Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders (and their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents) will have no liability for, and will be indemnified and held harmless against, any loss, liability, cost or expense incurred in respect of the Term Loan Facility or the use or the proposed use of proceeds thereof (except to the extent found in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party); provided that in connection therewith the Borrower shall only be responsible for the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel selected by the Administrative Agents and of such special and local counsel as the Administrative Agents may deem appropriate in their good faith discretion, except that if any indemnified person concludes that its interests conflict with those of other indemnified persons, the Borrower shall also be responsible for the fees, charges and disbursements of separate counsel for such indemnified person.
Governing Law and Forum:	State of New York; provided, that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence and the governing law provisions in the Term Loan Documentation, it is understood and agreed that the interpretation of (i) an “Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the Conditions Precedent Exhibit) and whether an “Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the Conditions Precedent Exhibit) has occurred, (ii) the accuracy of any representation made by the Acquired Business and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof you (or an affiliate) have the right (without regard to any notice requirement) to terminate your (or its) obligations (or to refuse to consummate the transactions) under the Acquisition Agreement and (iii) whether the transactions have been consummated in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, in each case, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland; provided, further, that, with respect to any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Acquisition Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby and which do not involve any claims by or against us or the Lenders or to which we or the Lenders are not otherwise a party, this sentence shall not override any jurisdiction provisions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement.
Counsel to the Administrative Agents, the Syndication Agent and the Arrangers:	Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP.

	“ABR” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by MSSF as its prime rate in effect on such day at its principal office in New York City (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the federal funds effective rate on such day plus 0.50% per annum and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate for a one month interest period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1% per annum; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Eurocurrency Rate for any day shall be based on the rate appearing on the Reuters LIBOR 01 page (or on any successor or substitute page of such page) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the federal funds effective rate or the Eurocurrency Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the federal funds effective rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, respectively. Loans bearing interest based upon the ABR will be available on same-day notice if requested by 12:00 noon, New York City time.
	“Applicable Margin” means a spread based upon the Applicable Ratings, as set forth in the table appearing at the end of this Annex I.
	“Eurocurrency Rate” means the rate at which deposits in the London interbank market in U.S. dollars for one, two, three or six months, as selected by the Borrower, are quoted on the Reuters LIBOR 01 page (or on any successor or substitute page of such page). The applicable Eurocurrency Rate will be adjusted for U.S. statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities, if any (presently zero).
	The “Applicable Ratings” in effect at any time shall be (1) the Facility Ratings, if available from each of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, and (2) if the Facility Ratings are not available from each rating agency, the Corporate Ratings.
	The “Corporate Ratings” in effect at any time shall be (1) the Borrower’s corporate credit rating (or at any time when there is no corporate credit rating in effect, the Borrower’s Index Rating) from S&P, (2) the Borrower’s corporate family rating (or at any time when there is no corporate family rating in effect, the Borrower’s Index Rating) from Moody’s and (3) the Borrower’s issuer default rating (or at any time when there is no issuer default rating in effect, the Borrower’s Index Rating) from Fitch.

	The “Index Rating” means, for any rating agency at any time, the rating then in effect from such rating agency applicable to the Borrower’s senior, unsecured, non-credit enhanced (other than by guarantees of subsidiaries that also guarantee the obligations under the Term Loan Facility) long-term debt for borrowed money.
	The “Facility Ratings” in effect at any time shall be the ratings of the Term Loan Facility, if any, from S&P, Moody’s and Fitch.
Interest Payment Dates:	In the case of Loans bearing interest based upon the ABR (“ABR Loans”), quarterly in arrears. In the case of Loans bearing interest based upon the Eurocurrency Rate (“Eurocurrency Loans”), on the last day of each relevant interest period and, in the case of any interest period longer than three months, on each successive date three months after the first day of such interest period.
Commitment Fees:	The Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, commitment fees (the “Commitment Fees”) to each Lender under the Term Loan Facility calculated at a rate per annum equal to 0.175% on the daily average undrawn commitments of such Lender under the Term Loan Facility, accruing during the period commencing on the Effective Date, payable quarterly in arrears and upon final repayment or termination of the Term Loan Facility.
Default Rate:	At any time when any Credit Party is in default in the payment of any amount of principal due under the Term Loan Facility, the overdue amount shall accrue interest at 2% above the rate otherwise applicable thereto. Upon any payment default in connection with overdue interest, fees and other amounts, such overdue amounts shall accrue interest at 2% above the rate applicable to ABR Loans.
Rate and Fee Basis:	All per annum rates shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365/366 days, in the case of ABR Loans the interest rate payable on which is then based on the Prime Rate) for actual days elapsed.

TYSON FOODS, INC.

SENIOR UNSECURED TERM LOAN FACILITY

Conditions Precedent to Initial Availability of Loans

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as specified with respect thereto in the Commitment Letter to which this Exhibit B is attached.

The commitments of the Lenders in respect to the Term Loan Facility and the initial extension of credit thereunder shall be conditioned upon satisfaction (or waiver) of the following conditions precedent on or before the Commitment Termination Date:

1. The negotiation, execution and delivery by all parties thereto of the definitive documentation for the Term Loan Facility, consistent with the terms of the Commitment Letter and taking into account the Documentation Principles (the “Term Loan Documentation”); provided that (a) the Term Loan Documentation shall be on terms, in a form and not include any changes to the Existing Revolving Facility that would, in any case, impair the availability or effectiveness of the Term Loan Facility if the conditions set forth in this Exhibit B are satisfied and (b) if on or prior to the Closing Date any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower (other than TFM) shall guarantee the Existing Revolving Facility or any Material Indebtedness (as defined in the Existing Revolving Facility) of the Borrower, such subsidiary shall be required to substantially concurrently (or, if later upon the execution of the Term Loan Documentation) guarantee the Term Loan Facility.

2. The Offer Conditions (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement (in the form of the Execution Version, as defined below)) shall have been satisfied or (subject to the following) waived in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, which shall be executed by all the parties thereto in the form of the execution version of the Acquisition Agreement provided to the Arrangers prior to their execution of the Commitment Letter and executed by the Borrower on June 9, 2014 (the “Execution Version”), and no provision of the Acquisition Agreement or any other Acquisition Document (including the Offer Conditions) shall have been waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and no consent or request by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries shall have been provided thereunder, in each case which is materially adverse to the interests of the Commitment Parties without each Arranger’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any modification or waiver of the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) under the Tender Offer Documents shall be considered materially adverse to the interests of the Commitment Parties.

3. The Arrangers shall have received: (i) unaudited consolidated and (to the extent publicly available) consolidating balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Borrower and its subsidiaries for each subsequent fiscal quarter ended subsequent to September 28, 2013 and at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date; (ii) to the extent provided to the Borrower by the Target or otherwise publicly available prior to the Closing Date, unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Target and its subsidiaries for each subsequent fiscal quarter ended subsequent to June 29, 2013 and at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date; and (iii) if, and to the extent required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, customary pro forma financial statements of the Borrower which meet the requirements of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and all other accounting rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and required to be included in a Registration Statement under such Act on Form S-3.

4. The Lenders, the Administrative Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Commitment Parties and the Arrangers shall have received all fees required to be paid and due on the Closing Date, and all expenses for which invoices have been presented at least 2 business days prior to the Closing Date, on or prior the Closing Date.

The Administrative Agents shall have received: (A) (i) legal opinions from such counsel to the Borrower as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agents, (ii) corporate organizational documents, good standing certificates (to the extent applicable in the jurisdiction of organization of the Borrower and the Guarantors) and secretary certificates and officer certificates, (iii) certificates from the chief financial officer or other officer of equivalent duties of the Borrower demonstrating the solvency (on a consolidated basis) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, on a pro forma basis for the Transactions, substantially in the form of Exhibit D to this Commitment Letter, (iv) corporate or other applicable resolutions with respect to the Borrower and the Guarantors approving the Transactions, and (v) borrowing notices, each of the items specified in clauses (a)(i) through (a)(v) as is customary for transactions of this type and, to the extent applicable, in substantially the same form as used in the Existing Revolving Facility (as revised to give effect to this Commitment Letter) and (B) at least 3 business days prior to the Closing Date, documentation required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT ACT, to the extent reasonably requested by any Lender at least 10 business days prior to the Closing Date and not previously provided prior to the Effective Date.

6. The following representations shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date: (i) the representations made by or on behalf of the Acquired Business in the Acquisition Agreement that are material to the interests of the Lenders (in their capacities as such), but only to the extent that the Borrower (or a subsidiary) has the right to terminate its obligations to consummate the Acquisition under the Acquisition Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations in the Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below), it being understood that the commitments of the Lenders in respect of the Term Loan Facility and the extensions of credit thereunder on the Closing Date shall not be conditioned on the accuracy or correctness of any representation or warranty other than as set forth in this paragraph 6.

7. Except as otherwise disclosed in (a) the Target’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2013, the Target’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended September 28, 2013, December 28, 2013 and March 29, 2014, the Target’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed since the date of filing of the Target’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2014 and prior to the date hereof or the Target’s proxy statement for the 2013 annual meeting of the Target’s stockholders, the relevance of such documents being reasonably apparent on its face, but excluding any risk factor disclosure and disclosure of risks included in any “forward looking statements” disclaimer or other general statements included in such Company SEC Documents to the extent they are predictive or forward looking in nature, or (b) the Company Disclosure Letter delivered to the Arrangers prior to their execution of the Commitment Letter, there not having occurred since June 29, 2013 any Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) or any event, change, effect, development, state of facts, condition, circumstance or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect.
