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 Issuers agree, 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) to continue on the Effective Date the Existing Letters of Credit to Letters of Credit in Dollars (or if such Existing Letters of Credit have been issued in Non-US Currency, then in the applicable Non-US Currency) for the account of the Borrower as if such Letters of Credit were issued on the Effective Date on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in each case all Letter of Credit fees in accordance with Sections 2.02(i) and 2.02(j) shall be applicable from and after the Effective Date, (3) 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 subsection (b) below and (4) 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 Issuers 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 (A) the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (B) 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. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof, and in each case all Letter of Credit fees in accordance with Sections 2.02(i) and 2.02(j) shall be applicable to the Existing Letters of Credit from and after the Effective Date.

(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 such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

-61-

(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 such L/C Issuer;

(E) only with respect to a request for a Non-US Currency Letter of Credit, such 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 such 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 (x) $50,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof on the date of issuance), in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit or (y) $50,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof on the date of issuance), in the case of any other type of Letter of Credit or a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

(iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such 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 applicable 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 applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as such 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 applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested 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 such 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

-62-

Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable 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 applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, such 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, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such 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, such 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 such 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 such 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 applicable L/C Issuer may, in its reasonable discretion, 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 applicable 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 such 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) such 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 applicable 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 (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, 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 applicable L/C Issuer shall not be obligated to permit any such renewal if such 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 Issuers 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 applicable 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.

-63-

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by such L/C Issuer as a result of such drawing and the date on which payment is to be made by such 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 such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such 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 Dollars). If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such 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 amount of Dollars necessary to purchase the applicable Non-US Currency in the amount of the Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount plus any related transaction costs, all of which are the Borrower’s responsibility; any excess Dollars shall be forwarded to the Borrower), 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 applicable 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 applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s office in an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of 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 applicable 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 applicable 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

-64-

Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount shall accrue based on the Non-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 applicable 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 amount of Dollars deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent to purchase the applicable Non-US Currency in the amount of the Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount plus any related transaction costs all which are the Borrower’s responsibility; any excess Dollars shall be forwarded to the Borrower).

(iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) to reimburse the applicable 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 such L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable 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 such 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, without limitation, any event described in clauses (e)(i)-(vi) below). Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the Obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such 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 applicable 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), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), 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 such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of such L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (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 such 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.

-65-

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable 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 such 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 rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

(e) Obligations Absolute. Without waiving Borrower’s right to later assert (by separate and independent action and not by way of setoff) any claims that it may have, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable 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 be acting), the applicable 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 applicable 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 such 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

-66-

(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 applicable L/C Issuer taking any applicable action with respect to such Letter of Credit, notify such L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such 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 applicable 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 applicable L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of such 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 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 beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor such L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.02(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against such L/C Issuer, and such 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 such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) which on its face appears to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such 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 such 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.

-67-

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the applicable 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 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, 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 Issuers 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 Wachovia Bank or other institutions satisfactory to it. 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, 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 applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (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 (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Standby Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share a Letter of Credit fee for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Standby Letter of Credit 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 Non-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 standby 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. Any increase or decrease in the standby Letter of Credit fee resulting from a change in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the fifth Business Day following the date a Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.02(d)(ii); provided, however, that if no Compliance Certificate is delivered within three days of when due in accordance with such Sections, then Tier 6 shall apply as of the date of the failure to deliver such Compliance Certificate until such time as the Borrower

-68-

delivers a Compliance Certificate and thereafter the standby Letter of Credit fee shall be based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio indicated on such Compliance Certificate until such time as the standby Letter of Credit fee is further adjusted as set forth in this subsection (i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the standby Letter of Credit fee shall be determined for the first six months after the Effective Date based upon Tier 4 of the Revolving Loan Pricing Grid.

(j) Commercial Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share a Letter of Credit fee for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to the Commercial Letter of Credit Fee Percentage on the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit (which amount shall be the Non-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 commercial 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. Any increase or decrease in the commercial Letter of Credit fee resulting from a change in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the fifth Business Day following the date a Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.02(d)(ii); provided, however, that if no Compliance Certificate is delivered within three days of when due in accordance with such Sections, then Tier 6 shall apply as of the date of the failure to deliver such Compliance Certificate until such time as the Borrower delivers a Compliance Certificate and thereafter the commercial Letter of Credit fee shall be based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio indicated on such Compliance Certificate until such time as the commercial Letter of Credit fee is further adjusted as set forth in this subsection (j). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the commercial Letter of Credit fee shall be determined for the first six months after the Effective Date based upon Tier 4 of the Revolving Loan Pricing Grid.

(k) Issuance Fee; Documentary, Presentation, Amendment, and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable 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 Non-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 such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect; provided, however that any Existing Letters of Credit continued on the Effective Date in accordance with Section 2.02(a)(i) shall not be subject to new or additional issuance, customary, documentary, presentation, amendment, or processing fees. Any applicable fees and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(l) Non-US Currency Letters of Credit Computation of Non-US Currency Equivalent. The Administrative Agent will determine the Non-US Currency Equivalent with respect to any Non-US Currency Letter of Credit (i) as of the date of issuance thereof and (ii) as of the last Business Day of each week (“Computation Date”). The Administrative Agent will provide the Borrower with written notice of the amount determined pursuant to this Section 2.02(l) from time to time, including following the end of each fiscal quarter. Upon receipt of

-69-

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.

(m) 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 Revolving Loan Maturity Date 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 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 of which the Swing Line Lender has actual knowledge. 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

-70-

(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 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 in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Loan Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Notice of Borrowing promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount specified in such Notice of Borrowing 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 Notice of Borrowing, 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 Notice of Borrowing 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.

-71-

(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 shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), 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 rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(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 rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 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.

-72-

(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.

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 Revolving Loan 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 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such cancellation, any 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 Revolving Loan 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 (x) any CBII Entity shall fail to observe or perform the covenant contained in Section 5.02(p) of this Agreement, (y) such failure is material and (z)(1) such failure occurs with an officer of the Borrower or CBII being aware of such failure before its occurrence, (2) such failure is not isolated or (3) such failure continues without the Borrower’s promptly taking reasonable and practicable measures to remedy such failure or to mitigate the legal consequences of such failure after the date an officer of the Borrower or of CBII becomes aware of such failure.

(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 clause (i) of Section 2.10(a).

-73-

SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the agent’s fees and other compensation in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

(b) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders as provided in clause (iv) of Section 2.10(a), commitment fees (collectively, the “Commitment Fees”) equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage of the daily average Unused Revolving Commitment for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Revolving Loan 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, 2005) and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or if the Revolving Loan Facility is cancelled on a date prior to the Revolving Loan 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 Non-US Currency Equivalents relating thereto as of the Business Day immediately preceding the last day in each March, June, September and December, as applicable. Any increase or decrease in the Commitment Fee resulting from a change in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the fifth Business Day following the date a Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.02(d)(ii); provided, however, that if no Compliance Certificate is delivered within 3 days of when due in accordance with such Sections, then Tier 6 shall apply as of the date of the failure to deliver such Compliance Certificate until such time as the Borrower delivers a Compliance Certificate and thereafter the Commitment Fee shall be based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio indicated on such Compliance Certificate until such time as the Commitment Fee is further adjusted as set forth in this subsection (b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commitment Fee shall be determined for the first six months after the Effective Date based upon Tier 4 of the Revolving Loan Pricing Grid.

SECTION 2.06. Prepayment. (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, and any payoff statement from the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement shall not apply to said Lender Rate Contracts, except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement.

(b) Optional Prepayments. (i) At its option, the Borrower may, upon one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of Base Rate Loans or three

-74-

Business Days’ notice 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 Base Rate 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 $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, or in whole, and prepay the LIBOR 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 $3,000,000 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. 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 B Loans or Term C Loans (as selected by the Borrower) shall be applied to the installments of such Facility on a pro rata basis.

(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 (x) $250,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof and (y) 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

-75-

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) if the Revolving Loan Facility has been reduced to zero, Cash Collateralize the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Loan Facility in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations.

(ii) If, during any fiscal year (including fiscal year 2005), any CBII Entity sells or otherwise disposes of any assets (other than (A) sales permitted under Section 5.02(c)(i), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii), (B) sales or leases between Borrower Entities (other than any Fresh Express Entities), (C) sales or leases between Fresh Express Entities (provided that such sale or lease does not impair any security for the Fresh Express Secured Obligations), (D) substantially equivalent exchanges of assets at Fair Market Value and upon terms at least as favorable as an arm’s-length transaction with unaffiliated Persons or (E) any sale (or related sales) otherwise permitted under Section 5.02(c) to the extent the aggregate consideration received by the CBII Entities for such sale (or related sales) does not exceed $1,000,000 (collectively “Permitted Sales”)) and the Net Cash Proceeds of such asset sales or other dispositions (other than Permitted Sales), when added to the Net Cash Proceeds of all such sales and other dispositions by all CBII Entities during such fiscal year (other than Permitted Sales), in the aggregate, exceed $15,000,000 for such fiscal year, the Borrower shall, after the completion of each sale or other disposition which results in such an excess or an increase in such an excess (but subject to the reinvestment exceptions below), 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 that so long as the Net Cash Proceeds portion of the consideration (in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the immediately preceding fiscal year) for any such disposed assets (other than from Permitted Sales) is not less than 50% of all consideration for such disposed assets, only the Net Cash Proceeds at the time of sale will be counted for purposes of any prepayment required under this sentence and the remaining consideration shall be counted when received as cash or its equivalent, otherwise 100% of all net proceeds (cash and non-cash) shall be counted; and provided further that any prepayment required shall be exclusive of any cash and non-cash proceeds received in connection with the sale or disposition of, or collection on, the Banacol Notes, or any sale or other disposition of any Equity Securities of Landec and/or Equity Securities and assets of American Produce Company by any of the CBII Entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment pursuant to this clause (ii) with respect to any sale (a “Relevant Sale”) if 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) in the case of a Relevant Sale of assets of any Fresh Express Entity, a Fresh Express Entity, or (B) in the case of a Relevant Sale of assets of any CBII Entity other than a Fresh Express Entity, a Borrower Entity other than a Fresh Express Entity, in either such case, 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 to the extent 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 the Relevant Sale are received, provided, however, that the Borrower’s requirement

-76-

to advise the Administrative Agent as provided above shall not apply to any Relevant Sales that in the aggregate are equal to or less than $5,000,000 for the immediately preceding fiscal year. 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 the preceding sentence 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 clause (ii).

(iii) If, during any fiscal year (including fiscal year 2005), any CBII Entity receives Extraordinary Receipts and the Net Cash Proceeds of such Extraordinary Receipts, 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 of 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 section below), 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 clause (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 (x) in the case of a Relevant Event involving any Fresh Express Entity, a Fresh Express Entity, and (y) in the case of a Relevant Event involving any CBII Entity other than a Fresh Express Entity, a Borrower Entity other than a Fresh Express Entity, in either such case, 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 clause (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

-77-

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 the Administrative Agent (which interest-bearing account shall be perfected by the Borrower entering into a control agreement and other 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 (provided that Permitted 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, immediately after such issuance or incurrence, 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 Indebtedness.

(v) On or prior to the 120^th day following the end of each fiscal year of Holdings (commencing with the fiscal year of Holdings ending December 31, 2006), 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 (i) such amount shall be reduced to 25% of Excess Cash Flow if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal year of Holdings shall be less than 3.00:1.00 and (ii) such amount shall be reduced to 0% of Excess Cash Flow if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal year of Holdings shall be less than 2.00:1.00).

(vi) If, at any time after the Effective Date, any CBII Entity issues any Equity Securities (other than any issuances thereof to CBII or any Borrower Entity), the Borrower shall, immediately after such issuance or incurrence, 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, (A) any CBII Entity shall fail to observe or perform the covenant contained in Section 5.02(p) of this Agreement, (B) such failure is material and (C) (1) such failure occurs with an officer of the Borrower or CBII being aware of such failure before its occurrence, (2) such failure is not isolated or (3) such failure continues without the Borrower’s promptly taking reasonable and practicable measures to remedy such failure or to mitigate the legal consequences of such failure after the date an officer of the Borrower or of CBII becomes aware of such failure, the Administrative Agent may or, upon instructions from the Required Term B Lenders or the Required Term C Lenders, as applicable, shall, by written notice to the Borrower, require the Borrower to

-78-

prepay any outstanding Term B Loans and any outstanding Term C Loans, as the case may be, and the Borrower agrees to so prepay such Term B Loans and Term C Loans, as the case may be, 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), (A) 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 (B) 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) Except as set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) below, all prepayments pursuant to Section 2.06(c) shall be applied as follows: first, to prepay the Term B Loans and Term C 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 and, fourth, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent Revolving Loans are then outstanding.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything provided for herein, all prepayments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(ii) or Section 2.06(c)(iii) with the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale or other disposition or from Extraordinary Receipts in respect of property and assets owned by any CBII Entities (other than any Fresh Express Entities) shall be applied as follows: first, to prepay the Term B 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 prepay the Term C Loans and to the installments thereof on a pro rata basis.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything provided for herein, all prepayments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(ii) or Section 2.06(c)(iii) with the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale or other disposition or from Extraordinary Receipts in respect of property and assets owned by any Fresh Express Entities shall be applied as follows: first, to prepay the Term C Loans and to the installments thereof on a pro rata basis, second, to prepay the Term B Loans and to the installments thereof on a pro rata basis, third, to prepay any Unreimbursed Amounts then outstanding, fourth, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the extent Swing Line Loans are then outstanding and, fifth, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent Revolving Loans are then outstanding.

-79-

(iv) Without modifying the order of application of prepayments set forth in the preceding sub-sections, 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 Commitment.

(v) 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 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 VII, 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 United States (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.

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 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.

(b) 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.

(c) Default Rate. On and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, until the time when such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived by the Required Lenders or all

-80-

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(e), 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.

(d) 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 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.

(e) 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 Federal Funds Rate for the first three days 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(e) 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 Section 2.08(b) and Section 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.

-81-

(b) Revolving Loan Notes, Term B Notes and Term C Notes. If any Lender so requests, such Lender’s Revolving Loans, Term B Loans or Term C Loans, as the case may be, shall be evidenced by a Revolving Loan Note, a Term B Note or a Term C Note, as applicable, in the respective forms of Exhibit E-1, Exhibit E-2 and Exhibit E-3 hereto. Each such Note shall be (i) payable to the order of such Lender, (ii) in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, Term B Commitment or Term C Commitment, as applicable, (iii) dated the Effective Date and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to record on the schedule annexed to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Note, Term B Note or Term C Note, as applicable, the date and amount of each Revolving Loan, Term B Loan or Term C 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, Term B Note or Term C 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 by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit F hereto (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 Funding Revolving Loan. (a) Lender Funding and Disbursement to the Borrower. Each Revolving Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. on the date of each Revolving Loan Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Schedule VII, in same day or immediately available funds, such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such Borrowing. Each Term B Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. on the date of Term B Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Schedule VII, in same day or immediately available funds, such Lender’s ratable share of such Borrowing based on such Lender’s Term B Commitment. Each Term C Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. on the date of the Term C Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Schedule VII, in same day or immediately available funds, such Lender’s ratable share of such Borrowing based on such Lender’s Term C 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 Wachovia Bank 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.

-82-

(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 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 the date of such Borrowing through the third Business 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 Commitment shall be made or shared among the Revolving Lenders pro rata according to their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares;

(ii) Each payment of principal on 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;

-83-

(iv) Each payment of Letter of Credit fees and Commitment Fees payable under Sections 2.02(i) and (j) and Section 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, without limitation, 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 Lender shall so advise the Administrative Agent), the

-84-

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. 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(f) 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.

(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 between the Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such tax levy); or

(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,

-85-

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 Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. No Lender may establish or change its Euro-Dollar Lending Office with the result that 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 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 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 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 Agreement being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If 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) Borrower shall make all such deductions or withholdings, (ii) 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 Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Borrower 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

-86-

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 Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of any Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (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 2.12(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 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 of this Agreement (unless such Lender confirms to the Borrower that it will not seek any such additional amounts) or (ii) 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 subsection (e) of this section when applicable.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, 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. 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 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) 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, 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

-87-

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 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 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 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 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 Borrower or (B) a certificate that it is not (i) a “bank” (as defined in IRC Section 881(c)(3)(A)), (ii) a 10% shareholder (within the meaning of IRC Section 871(h)(3)(B)) of Borrower or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to 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 Borrower. 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 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 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 subsection (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

-88-

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.

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, without limitation, 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 Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.14. Security. (a) Security Documents. (i) Chiquita Security Documents. The Chiquita Secured Obligations, together with the Guarantees thereof by the Parent Guarantor and the Chiquita Subsidiary Guarantors, shall be secured by the Liens created by and as specified in the Chiquita Security Documents; provided that no Subsidiary of Holdings shall guarantee or grant any Lien to secure any liabilities or obligations of Holdings (including, without limitation, the obligations and liabilities of Holdings under any of the Credit Documents); 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 (other than the Fresh Express Entities) generates Significant Revenue; provided even 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 Chiquita Collateral pledged as security for the Chiquita Secured Obligations is not materially significant in relation to the costs of the filings, registrations, or recordings, (B) the Equity Securities of Landec and/or Equity Securities and assets of American Produce Company shall not be required to be pledged as security for the Chiquita 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 Chiquita Collateral pledged as security for the Chiquita Secured Obligations (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.06(c)(iii) hereof).

-89-

(ii) Fresh Express Security Documents. The Fresh Express Secured Obligations, together with the Guarantees thereof by the Fresh Express Subsidiary Guarantors, shall be secured by the Liens created by and as specified in the Fresh Express Security Documents; provided that no Subsidiary of Holdings shall guarantee or grant any Lien to secure any liabilities or obligations of Holdings (including, without limitation, the obligations and liabilities of Holdings under any of the Credit Documents); and provided further that 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 Fresh Express Collateral pledged as security for the Fresh Express Secured Obligations (except as expressly provided in Section 2.06(c)(iii) hereof).

(iii) Lender Rate Contracts.

-92-

(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;

(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 Lender not to exercise its rights in respect of the Parallel Obligations without the consent of the relevant Lender.

Upon termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Term B Commitments, the Chiquita Secured Obligations, the Guarantees in respect thereof and all other Chiquita Secured Obligations payable under this Agreement and under the other Credit Documents (other than any Unaccrued Indemnity Claims), as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such Obligations have not been accelerated, the Liens granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Chiquita Collateral shall be released even though obligations on or under the Lender Rate Contracts remain outstanding.

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

SECTION 2.15. Replacement of the Lenders.

-93-

such Lender confirms to the Borrower that it will not seek any additional amounts as a consequence of such Change in Law), then, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Administrative Agent (i) may replace such Lender (the “affected Lender”), or cause such affected Lender to be replaced or (ii) upon the written request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall cause such affected Lender to be replaced, with another lender (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 clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 2.15), by having the 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, 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 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 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 the 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. Increases of the Revolving Loan Commitment; Adjustments to Revolving Loan Commitment. (a) Increases of Revolving Loan Commitment.

(ii) The aggregate principal amount of the increases to the Revolving Loan Commitment made pursuant to this Section 2.16 (the amount of any such increase, the “Increased Revolving Loan Commitment”), shall not exceed $50,000,000. The Borrower shall provide at least 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Revolving Lenders) of any requested Increased Revolving Loan Commitment.

(b) Adjustment to Revolving Loan Commitment. (i) Each Revolving Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), for a period of 10 days following receipt of the notice referred to in Section 2.16(a), to elect by written notice to the Borrower and the

-94-

Administrative Agent to participate in the Increased Revolving Loan Commitment pro rata according to its then-respective Revolving Proportionate Share. No Revolving Lender which fails to respond shall be deemed to have elected to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment in response to a notice by the Borrower under this Section 2.16.

(ii) If any Revolving Lender party to this Agreement (whether at the Effective Date or by assignment thereafter) elects not to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment pro rata according to its Revolving Proportionate Share pursuant to clause (i), the Borrower may designate one or more other lenders which qualify as Eligible Assignees (which may be, but need not be, existing Revolving Lenders) which at the time agrees to (A) in the case of any such designated Revolving Lender that is an existing Revolving Lender, increase its Revolving Proportionate Share of the Revolving Loan Commitment and (B) in the case of any other such lender (an “Additional Revolving Lender”), become a party to this Agreement. The sum of the increases in the Revolving Proportionate Share of the existing Revolving Lenders pursuant to this clause (ii) plus the new commitments of the Additional Revolving Lenders, if any, shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Increased Revolving Loan Commitment, nor shall the Increased Revolving Loan Commitment exceed the sum of the increases in the Revolving Proportionate Share of the existing Revolving Lenders pursuant to clause (i) and this clause (ii) plus the new commitments of the Additional Revolving Lenders.

(iii) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower signed by the Borrower, by each Additional Revolving Lender and by each existing Lender whose Revolving Proportionate Share of the Revolving Loan Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Revolving Proportionate Share of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Revolving Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the Increased Revolving Loan Commitment, amendments to any Credit Documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in relation to the Increased Revolving Loan Commitment solely to reflect such Increased Revolving Loan Commitment (which amendments the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the Lenders) and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the Increased Revolving Loan Commitment and other assurances as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(ii) All Governmental Authorizations for the due execution, delivery, recordation, filing or performance by any Loan Party of any Transaction Document to which it is or it is to be a party, or further consummation of the Transaction, have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect without any known conflict with the rights of others and free from any unduly burdensome restrictions, where any such failure to obtain such Governmental Authorizations or any such conflict or restriction could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

-111-

ARTICLE VII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND RELATIONS AMONG THE LENDERS

SECTION 7.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities. (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. The Co-Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities 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 Co-Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent in such respective capacities. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, be a trustee for any Lender or have any fiduciary duty to any Lender. Notwithstanding anything 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. 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. Wachovia Bank, as Administrative Agent hereunder shall act, as of the Effective Date, as the successor administrative agent to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity of administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement. Each of the Fresh Express 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 “Fresh Express Collateral

-142-

Agent”) with respect to all matters relating to the Fresh Express Security Documents and Wachovia Bank, as administrative agent for the Lenders as of the Effective Date hereby accepts such appointment. Each of the Chiquita 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 “Chiquita Collateral Agent”) with respect to all matters relating to the Chiquita Security Documents and Wachovia Bank, as administrative agent for the Lenders as of the Effective Date hereby accepts such appointment.

(b) Each 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 Issuers with respect thereto; provided, however, that the L/C Issuers 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 Issuers 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 Issuers with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuers.

(c) Power of Attorney for German Share Pledge Agreement. (i) Each of the Chiquita Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act on its behalf and in its name in connection with the preparation, entering into, execution and delivery of the German Share Pledge Agreement and the perfection and monitoring, as well as any release of the security interests granted under the German Share Pledge Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized to make all statements, make and receive any and all declarations and take any and all action necessary or appropriate in this context. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized to delegate this power of attorney.

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

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall administer in the name and on behalf of the Chiquita Secured Parties such German security interest which is a pledge (Verpfändung) or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit).

SECTION 7.02. Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers 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 and shall 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 all Lenders if required by Section 8.04), and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders as the case may be) and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

-143-

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, without limitation, 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. 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 B Loans and Term C Loans outstanding at such time and owing to such Lender, (ii) the aggregate unused portion of such Lender’s Term B Commitments and Term C Commitments at such time and (iii) 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 Issuers, 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 by or asserted against the L/C Issuers 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. The L/C Issuers shall be fully justified in

-144-

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 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 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.

SECTION 7.06. Resignation or Removal of the Administrative Agent. 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

-145-

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, Wachovia Bank may not be removed as Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders unless Wachovia Bank 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 Wachovia Bank.

SECTION 7.07. Collateral Matters. (a) (i) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by each Chiquita Secured Party, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Chiquita Secured Party, and without the obligation to take any such action, to take any action with respect to any Chiquita Collateral or any Chiquita Security Document which may from time to time be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens of the Chiquita Security Documents; and (ii) the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by each Fresh Express Secured Party, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Fresh Express Secured Party, and without the obligation to take any such action, to take any action with respect to any Fresh Express Collateral or any Fresh Express Security Document which may from time to time be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens of the Fresh Express Security Documents.

(b) The Chiquita 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 held by the Administrative Agent upon any Chiquita Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and Term B Commitments and the full Cash Collateralization of the then outstanding L/C Obligations and the payment in full of all Chiquita Secured Obligations and all other non-contingent Chiquita Secured Obligations payable under this Agreement and under the other Credit Documents, and additionally only if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Obligations have been accelerated, payment of the Borrower’s obligations on the Lender Rate Contracts; (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 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; or (v) if approved or consented to by those of the Secured Parties required by Section 8.04. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Secured Parties will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of the Chiquita Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.07.

(c) The Fresh Express 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 held by the Administrative Agent upon any Fresh Express

-146-

Collateral (i) upon termination of the Term C Commitments and the payment in full of all Fresh Express Secured Obligations and all other non-contingent Fresh Express Secured Obligations payable under this Agreement and under the other Credit Documents; (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 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; or (v) if approved or consented to by those of the Secured Parties required by Section 8.04. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Secured Parties will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of the Fresh Express Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.07.

(d) The Borrower and the Chiquita Secured Parties acknowledge that during the course of its term as administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement Wells Fargo made judgments concerning the materiality of items and matters and concerning the Chiquita Collateral. In respect of the Chiquita Collateral, Wells Fargo, as administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, allowed the Borrower and its counsel to handle the perfection of Chiquita Collateral in certain jurisdictions and made judgments not to perfect as to certain items of Chiquita Collateral or in certain jurisdictions where it concluded that the costs of perfection did not justify the added value of the Chiquita Collateral. Each of the Borrower and the Chiquita Secured Parties releases, discharges and acquits Wells Fargo, as administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, from any liability associated with the actions it took, or for failing to take actions it could have taken but did not, with regard to the materiality of items and matters with regard to the decision whether to perfect as to certain of the Chiquita Collateral and with regard to the decision to allow the Borrower and its counsel to handle the perfection of the Chiquita Collateral in certain jurisdictions.

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 Loan Party 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 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 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.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 8.01. Notices. (a) Notices Generally. Except as otherwise provided herein, including without limitation Section 8.01(b), all notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon 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 Issuers 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 VII hereto, if to any Lender, at the address or facsimile number specified for such Lender in Part B of Schedule I hereto, (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 other parties). All such notices and communications shall be effective (a) when sent by an overnight courier service of

-153-

recognized standing, on the second Business Day following the deposit with such service; (b) when mailed, first class postage prepaid and addressed as aforesaid through the United States Postal Service, upon receipt; (c) when delivered by hand, upon delivery; and (d) 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 Issuers 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.

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.

(b) IntraLinks. 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, 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 (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) 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

-149-

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, without limitation, 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.

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 (i) 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 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 (ii) 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 fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, 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 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 Obligations or in preserving any of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights and remedies (including, without limitation, all such fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “workout” or restructuring affecting the Credit Documents or the 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 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 Issuers, 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, 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

-150-

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 or (ii) 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; provided further that if Borrower accepts the defense, it shall be authorized to select its own counsel and, in which event, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional costs of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s separate 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. 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 but shall reduce such obligations to the extent of any increase in those obligations caused solely by any such failure or delay which is unreasonable. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.03 shall survive the payment and performance of the 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 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 2.16 or any other Section providing for voting percentages, (ii) waive any of the conditions specified in Section 3.01 or (iii) amend any of the definitions of Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, Required Term B Lenders, Required Term C Lenders or Required Tier A Lenders must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all Lenders affected thereby. In connection with any such proposed amendment, modification or waiver requiring the consent of all Lenders

-151-

(such proposed amendment, modification or waiver, a “Proposed Change”), if the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 8.04 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Borrower’s request, the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld) shall have the right (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, sell and assign to the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this subsection (a), the Commitments, the Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and participations in Swing Line Loans) for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans, L/C Obligations and aggregate amounts funded under Section 2.03(c)(ii) in respect of Swing Line Loans, by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale. In such event, such Non-Consenting Lender agrees to execute an Assignment Agreement to reflect such purchase and sale, but regardless of whether such Assignment Agreement is executed, such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights hereunder, except rights under Section 8.03 with respect to actions prior to such date, shall cease from and after the date of tender by the purchaser of the amount of the purchase price;

(b) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender (other than any increases pursuant to Section 2.16), (ii) extend the Termination Date of a Facility for any Lenders, (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 or (v) 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;

(c) Any amendment, waiver or consent which changes the order of application set forth in Article XV of each of the Pledge Agreements or Article XI of each of the Security Agreements 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 materially 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 materially adversely affected, the Required Revolving Lenders, (ii) to the extent the Lenders under the Term B Facility are materially adversely affected, the Required Term B Lenders and (iii) to the extent the Lenders under the Term C Facility are materially adversely affected, the Required Term C Lenders;

(d) 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;

-152-

(e) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties of any 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 the L/C Issuers;

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

(g) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would, except as permitted pursuant to this Agreement, (i) release one or more Chiquita Guarantors (or otherwise limit such Chiquita Guarantors’ liability with respect to the Obligations under the applicable Guarantee Agreements) if such release or limitation is in respect of all or substantially all of the value of the Parent Guarantee Agreement and the Chiquita Subsidiary Guarantee Agreements, or (ii) release all or substantially all of the Chiquita Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, must be in writing and signed by all Term B Lenders and all Revolving Lenders;

(h) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would, except as permitted pursuant to this Agreement, (i) release one or more Fresh Express Guarantors (or otherwise limit such Fresh Express Guarantors’ liability with respect to the Obligations under the applicable Guarantee Agreements) if such release or limitation is in respect of all or substantially all of the value of the Parent Guarantee Agreement and the Fresh Express Subsidiary Guarantee Agreements, or (ii) release all or substantially all of the Fresh Express Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, must be in writing and signed by all Term C 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) 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, all future holders of the Notes 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 each Lender. Any assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.

-153-

(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 subsection (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 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 clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 8.04(a), Section 8.04(b)(iii), Section 8.04(g) or Section 8.04(h) 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. 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 subsection (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 hereto (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:

(i) Each Assignee Lender shall provide appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) to the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender as each may require with respect to any continuing obligation to purchase participation interests in any L/C Obligations or any Swing Line Loans then outstanding;

-154-

(ii) 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 which is not, immediately prior to such Assignment, a Lender hereunder, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund thereof;

(iii) 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 Commitment or Loans of such Lender or such Assignee Lender would be less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (except that (A) a Lender may make an Assignment which reduces its Commitment or Loans to zero without the written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent except to the extent such written consent is required by clause (ii) above or clause (iv) 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 One Million Dollars ($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

(iv) 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.

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 among the Co-Lead Arrangers 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 clauses (i) through (iv) above. 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.

-155-

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of each Assignment Agreement and payment of the fee referred to in subsection (e) below, 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 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 Commitments 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 termination of this Agreement. Each Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend Schedule I to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of each Assignee Lender, the deletion of each Assignor Lender which reduces 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 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 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 United States of America 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 shall maintain at its address referred to on Schedule VII 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

-156-

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. The Administrative Agent may, from time to time at its election, prepare and deliver to the Lenders and the Borrower a revised Schedule I reflecting the names, addresses and respective Commitment or Loans of all Lenders then parties hereto.

(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 Borrower 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 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, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Credit Documents and (ii) 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 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

-157-

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 8.08. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this 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 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 8.09. Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE CO-LEAD ARRANGERS, THE SYNDICATION AGENT, THE DOCUMENTATION AGENT, THE SWING-LINE LENDER, THE L/C ISSUERS, 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.

SECTION 8.10. Counterparts. This 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. Transmission by telecopier of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.

SECTION 8.11. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, New York County and the courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of New York and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may be brought against such party in any such courts.
