On December 17, 2010, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of December 17, 2010, by and among the Company, as borrower, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, U.S. swing line lender and U.S. L/C Issuer, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, SunTrust Bank, as syndication agent, Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., “Rabobank Nederland”, New York Branch and Sovereign Bank, as co-documentation agents, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto.

The Credit Agreement provides for $1,450,000,000 in senior credit facilities, consisting of the following: (a) a term loan A facility in an aggregate amount of $250,000,000 (the “Term Loan A Facility”), (b) a term loan B facility in an aggregate amount of $550,000,000 (the “Term Loan B”), (c) a U.S. revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of $450,000,000 (the “U.S. Revolver”) and (d) an alternative currency revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of $200,000,000 (the “Alternative Currency Revolver”, and together with the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B and the U.S. Revolver, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

The Credit Agreement also permits the Company to request additional tranches of term loans or increases to the U.S. Revolver in an aggregate amount not to exceed $150,000,000 (the “Incremental Credit Facility”). Availability of such additional tranches of term loans or increases to the U.S. Revolver is subject to the absence of any default, pro forma compliance with financial covenants and, among other things, the receipt of commitments by existing or additional financial institutions.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities have been made as follows:

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (a) at a eurodollar rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain costs, or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (2) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. from time to time and (3) the eurodollar rate plus 1.00%. Initially, the applicable margin with respect to the Term Loan A, the U.S. Revolver and the Alternative Currency Revolver is a percentage per annum equal to 2.5% for base rate loans and 3.5% for eurodollar rate loans. Beginning with the delivery date of financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter completed after the closing of the Senior Credit Facilities, the applicable margin with respect to the Term Loan A, the U.S. Revolver and the Alternative Currency Revolver will be subject to adjustments based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The applicable margin with respect to the Term Loan B is a percentage per annum equal to 3.0% for base rate loans and 4.0% for eurodollar rate loans. Overdue amounts bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum.

Under the Senior Credit Facilities, the Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the U.S. Revolver and the Alternative Currency Revolver equal to 0.500%, which percentage is subject to reduction based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, of the dollar amount of such unused portion, unless the Company elects to reduce the aggregate commitment under the U.S. Revolver and the Alternative Currency Revolver at the Company’s option without penalty or premium.

Under the Senior Credit Facilities, the Company also is required to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with (a) 100% of the net proceeds of any debt issued by the Company or its subsidiaries (with exceptions for certain debt permitted to be incurred under the Senior Credit Facilities), (b) commencing with the fiscal year ending September 24, 2011, 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0% if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than or equal to a specified ratio) of the Company’s Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Senior Credit Facilities), (c) 50% of the net proceeds of any equity issuances by the Company or its subsidiaries (with exceptions for issuances to certain equity investors or to the Company or a Guarantor under the Senior Credit Facilities) and (d) 100% of the proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions (including casualty events), subject to reinvestment rights and certain other exceptions. The Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Facilities at any time without premium or penalty other than reimbursement for any funding losses, other than lost profits, and any redeployment costs that the lenders incur due to optional prepayments of Eurodollar advances prior to the end of the applicable interest periods.

All obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the Company’s existing domestic wholly-owned material subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), and are required to be guaranteed by certain of the Company’s future domestic wholly-owned material subsidiaries. All obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including:

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply, on a quarterly basis, with a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a consolidated leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to enter into interest rate swap arrangements to hedge against interest rate exposure. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes a number of covenants that, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to (a) incur additional indebtedness, (b) pay dividends or make distributions on the Company’s capital stock, or redeem, repurchase or retire the Company’s capital stock or other indebtedness, (c) make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions, (d) create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to the Company from its subsidiaries, (e) engage in transactions with the Company’s affiliates, (f) sell assets, (g) consolidate or merge and (h) create liens on the Company’s assets. The Credit Agreement also contains events of default that include, among others, failure to make payments when due, violation of certain covenants, inaccuracy of representations and

warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events and cross defaults to certain other agreements. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement as well as an increase to the applicable interest rate.

A portion of the Senior Credit Facilities proceeds have been used towards repaying the Company’s borrowings under its former credit agreement described in Item 1.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. A portion of the Senior Credit Facilities proceeds also have been used towards paying the purchase price for the acquisition of LJVH Holdings Inc., a New Brunswick, Canada corporation (“Van Houtte”), described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (BofA Merrill Lynch), together with CIBC World Markets Inc. (CIBC), also served as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with its acquisition of Van Houtte described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On December 17, 2010, the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of December 3, 2007, by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, L/C issuer and swing line lender, Banc of America Securities, LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole book manager, the other lenders from time to time party thereto and the other agents named therein, as amended from time to time (the “Former Credit Agreement”), was terminated, and all outstanding borrowings under the Former Credit Agreement were repaid in full and cancelled.

The Former Credit Agreement was terminated in connection with, and simultaneously with, execution of the Credit Agreement.

On December 17, 2010, the Company also completed its acquisition of Van Houtte (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 14, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, SSR Acquisition Corp., a New Brunswick, Canada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”), LJVH S.à.r.l., a Luxembourg limited liability company, Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (F.T.Q.), a Québec, Canada pension fund, and the individual shareholders and optionholders of Van Houtte (collectively, the “Sellers”) and LJ Coffee Agent, LLC, as sellers agent. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants. Subject to certain limitations, each of the Company and the Purchaser on the one hand, and the Sellers on the other hand, has agreed to indemnify the other for certain breaches of representations, warranties and covenants and other specified matters.

The Company paid an aggregate cash purchase price of C$915,000,000, subject to future adjustment based on Van Houtte’s working capital, net indebtedness and pre-closing taxes as of immediately prior to the acquisition’s closing.
