Canadian Security Agreement, respectively, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the US
Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent (including the description of the
additional Collateral to be pledged as described below), as

4

 

applicable, to confirm that the “Quiksilver” and related Trademarks and Intellectual Property
Rights of the Loan Parties have been pledged as Collateral to the US Administrative Agent and the
Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders under the
US Security Agreement and the Canadian Security Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that
from and after the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, all such Trademarks and Intellectual Property
Rights shall be deemed to constitute Collateral under the US Security Agreement and the Canadian
Security Agreement and shall be subject to the provisions thereof as such). Promptly upon
reasonable request by the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (but in no
event later than seven days after the Ninth Amendment Effective Date), Quiksilver shall execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments, certificates or
documents, and take such actions, as the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative
Agent, as applicable, may request for the purposes of perfecting or confirming the rights of the US
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the applicable
Lenders with respect to the Collateral.

     XIV. Effective Date. This Amendment shall become effective on the date (the
“Ninth Amendment Effective Date”) on which the (i) Borrowers and the requisite Lenders
under the Credit Agreement shall have duly executed and delivered to the US Administrative Agent
this Amendment and (ii) the US Administrative Agent shall have received, for the account of each
Consenting Lender, the Amendment Fee.

     XV. Representations and Warranties. The Borrowers hereby represent and warrants that
(a) each of the representations and warranties in Article III of the Credit Agreement shall be,
after giving effect to this Amendment, true and correct in all material respects as if made on and
as of the Effective Date (unless such representations and warranties are stated to relate to a
specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct
in all material respects as of such earlier date) and (b) after giving effect to this Amendment, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     XVI. Amendment Fee. In consideration of the agreements of the Lenders contained in
this Amendment, Quiksilver agrees to pay to the US Administrative Agent, for the account of each
Lender that delivers an executed counterpart of this Amendment prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on November 6, 2008 (each such Lender, a “Consenting Lender”), by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, an irrevocable and non-refundable amendment fee in an amount equal to
0.50% of such Lender’s US Revolving Loan Commitments and Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments (the
“Amendment Fee”), which Amendment Fee shall be fully earned, due and payable on the Ninth
Amendment Effective Date.

     XVII. No Other Amendments; Confirmation. Except as expressly amended hereby, the
provisions of the Credit Agreement, as amended and restated, are and shall remain in full force and
effect.

     XVIII. Governing Law. This Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties
hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the
State of New York.
