 Annex A to Exhibit I-15









 
with any Permitted Acquisition, investment, asset disposition, issuance or repayment of debt, issuance of equity securities, refinancing transaction or amendment or other modification of any debt
instrument (in each case, including any such transaction consummated prior to the Effective Date and any such transaction undertaken but not completed, and including transaction expenses incurred in connection therewith) or early extinguishment of
Indebtedness to the extent such items were subject to capitalization prior to the effectiveness of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 141R “Business Combinations” but are required under such statement to be expensed

non-controlling interests in Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors, but shall include income (or loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in Restricted Subsidiaries that are Subsidiary Guarantors. In addition, to the
extent that for any period the portion of Consolidated EBITDA attributable to Material Restricted Subsidiaries that are Domestic Subsidiaries but that are not Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds 10% of Consolidated EBITDA (such amount in excess of 10% of
Consolidated EBITDA, the “Excess EBITDA”), then such Excess EBITDA shall be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consolidated EBITDA (i) for the four fiscal quarter period ended
March 31, 2013 shall be equal to the Consolidated EBITDA for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 multiplied by four (4), (ii) for the four fiscal quarter period ended June 30, 2013 shall be equal to the Consolidated
EBITDA for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 multiplied by two (2) and (iii) for the four fiscal quarter period ended September 30, 2013 shall be equal to the Consolidated EBITDA for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2013 multiplied by four thirds (4/3). 
 “Consolidated Funded Indebtedness” means, as of any date of
determination with respect to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, without duplication, the sum of: (a) the outstanding principal amount of all obligations for borrowed money, whether current or long-term
(including the Obligations) and all obligations evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes, loan agreements or other similar instruments or upon which interest payments are customarily made; (b) all obligations arising under letters of credit
(including standby and commercial but excluding letters of credit to the extent such letters of credit have been cash collateralized) and bankers’ acceptances, but only to the extent consisting of unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of
drawn amounts under letters of credit or bankers’ acceptance facilities; (c) all attributable indebtedness under Capital Leases, synthetic leases, account receivables securitization programs (including Permitted Receivables Financings),
off-balance sheet loans or similar off-balance sheet financing products; (d) all obligations under conditional sale or other title retention agreements relating to assets purchased (other than customary reservations or retentions of title under
agreements with suppliers entered into in the ordinary course of business); (e) all obligations issued or assumed as the deferred 

  
 Annex A to Exhibit I-15









 
purchase price of assets or services purchased (other than contingent earn-out payments and other contingent deferred payments to the extent not fixed and payable, and trade debt incurred in the
ordinary course of business and due within six (6) months of the incurrence thereof) which would appear as liabilities on a balance sheet; (f) all preferred Equity Interests issued and which by the terms thereof could be (at the request of
the holders thereof or otherwise) subject to mandatory sinking fund payments, redemption or other acceleration; (g) all Guarantees with respect to outstanding Indebtedness of the type specified in clauses (a) through (f) above of
another Person; (h) all Indebtedness of the type specified in clauses (a) through (f) above of another Person secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by)
any Lien on, or payable out of the proceeds of production from, assets owned or acquired by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether or not the obligations secured thereby have been assumed; and (i) all Indebtedness of the types
referred to in clauses (a) through (h) above of any partnership or joint venture (other than a joint venture that is itself a corporation, limited liability company or similar limited liability entity organized under the Laws of a
jurisdiction other than the United States or a state thereof) in which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a general partner or joint venturer, except to the extent that Indebtedness is expressly made non-recourse to such Person.
For the avoidance of doubt, Consolidated Funded Indebtedness shall exclude Hybrid Equity Securities issued by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. For purposes of this Annex A to Exhibit I, the definition of “Consolidated Funded
Indebtedness” shall exclude any Indebtedness under the Contingent Subordinated Obligation until such Indebtedness is reflected as a liability or contingent obligation on the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower. 

“Consolidated Interest Expense” means, for any period, for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis without duplication, the following (in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP): (a) all interest in respect of Indebtedness (including the interest component of synthetic leases, account receivables securitization programs,
off-balance sheet loans or similar off-balance sheet financing products) accrued during such period (whether or not actually paid during such period) and costs of surety bonds, in each case determined after giving effect to any net payments made or
received under interest rate Swap Agreements minus (b) the sum of (i) all interest income during such period and (ii) to the extent included in clause (a) above, the amount of write-offs or amortization of deferred financing
fees, commissions, fees and expenses, and amounts paid (or plus any amounts received) on early terminations of Swap Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consolidated Interest Expense (i) for the four fiscal quarter period ended
March 31, 2013 shall be equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 multiplied by four (4), (ii) for the four fiscal quarter period ended June 30, 2013 shall be equal to the
Consolidated Interest Expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 multiplied by two (2) and (iii) for the four fiscal quarter period ended September 30, 2013 shall be equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2013 multiplied by four-thirds (4/3). 
 “Consolidated Net Income” means, for
any period, net income after taxes for such period of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise provided in this Annex A to


  
 Annex A to Exhibit I-15









 
Exhibit I, the applicable period shall be for the four (4) consecutive quarters ending as of the date of computation. 

“Consolidated Senior Secured Indebtedness” means, as of any date, Consolidated Funded Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien
on any assets of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 “Contingent Subordinated Obligation” means the
contingent subordinated obligation described on Schedule 6.01 to the Dean Credit Agreement. 
 “Control” means
the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a Person, whether through the ability to exercise voting power, by contract or otherwise. “Controlling” and
“Controlled” have meanings correlative thereto, 
 “D4E Debt” means unsecured Indebtedness incurred by the
Borrower and Guaranteed by one or more of the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with any one or more contemplated exchanges of such Indebtedness for shares of the Class A common stock of The WhiteWave Foods Company held by the Borrower;
provided that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of D4E Debt shall not exceed $700,000,000 at any time or such greater amount as may be approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. 

“Defaulting Lender” means any Lender, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, that has (a) failed to fund
any portion of its Loans or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans within three Business Days of the date required to be funded by it under the Dean Credit Agreement unless such Lender’s failure to fund is based on such
