ANNUAL SUPPLEMENTAL FEE
SECTION 6.1 Annual Supplemental Fee. In addition to the interest payable
under the Note, as additional consideration for acquiring the Existing Term Loan
and providing the Additional Loan to, among other things, allow CCLP to pay the
Credit Enhancement Termination Fee and purchase the CCA Minority Interest, the
Lender shall be entitled to receive an annual supplemental fee from CCLP, Capri
Holdings and CAI of fifty percent (50%) of the Fiscal Year Net Cash Flow of the
Capri Companies and their Affiliates (the "Annual Supplemental Fee").
SECTION 6.2 Calculation, Time and Manner of Payment. The Annual
Supplemental Fee shall be calculated during the term of this Agreement
(including any extensions or renewals) as of the end of each Fiscal Year. The
Annual Supplemental Fee shall be due and payable within thirty (30) calendar
days after the end of each Fiscal Year. It is understood that the Annual
Supplemental Fee will be calculated annually based on unaudited internal
financial information of the Capri Companies and the Annual Supplemental Fee
paid at the end of each Fiscal Year in accordance with the provisions of this
Section will be subject to reasonable adjustment based on final audited
Financial Statements for such Fiscal Year, provided that such final audited
Financial Statements are provided to the Lender no later than ninety (90) days
after the end of such Fiscal Year. Any additional amounts due to the Lender
resulting from such adjustment shall be due and payable to the Lender within
ninety (90) calendar days after the end of the affected Fiscal Year. Any amounts
due to CCLP, CAI and Capri Holdings resulting from such adjustments shall be
credited towards the next payment due to the Lender under the Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and Section 6.1, for any period during the term of
this Agreement (including any extensions or renewals) comprising a partial
Fiscal Year, the Annual Supplemental Fee applicable to such period shall equal
fifty percent (50%) of the Net Cash Flow of the Capri Companies for such partial
Fiscal Year.
SECTION 6.3 Deferral Option. At the option of CCLP, CAI and Capri
Holdings, payment to the Lender of up to ten percent (10%) of any Annual
Supplemental Fee may be deferred. Any such deferred amounts will accrue interest
on a daily compounded basis at the prevailing bank prime rate. Any such deferred
amounts and accrued interest thereon may be paid
16
to the Lender by CCLP, CAI and Capri Holdings at any time; all such deferred
amounts and all accrued interest thereon shall become due and payable
immediately on the occurrence of any Event of Default.
SECTION 6.4 Amendment on Exercise of Purchase Option. In the event the
Purchase Option is exercised, the parties hereto hereby agree to enter into an
amendment to this Agreement to the following effect:
The Annual Supplemental Fee shall be eliminated and replaced by the
following provisions:
The Lender's limited partnership interest capital account will be
credited for the same amount as would be calculated under the provisions of
Section 6.1 of this Agreement applicable to calculation of the Annual
Supplemental Fee for the applicable period. All such amounts credited to the
Lender's limited partnership interest capital accounts will be distributed to
the Lender in the same manner as provided in Section 6.1 of this Agreement and,
upon such distribution, will be charged to the Lender's limited partnership
interest capital account. Any such amount paid to the Lender as a partnership
distribution will satisfy, automatically and dollar for dollar, Capri's
obligation under this Agreement to pay the Lender the corresponding Annual
Supplemental Fee. In the event of termination of this Agreement, distribution of
all such amounts credited to the Lender's limited partnership interest capital
account and unpaid at the date of such termination will be immediately payable.
All other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and
effect upon exercise of the Purchase Option.
SECTION 6.5 Calculation and Payment of Fees. Along with each payment of
an Annual Supplemental Fee, CCLP, on behalf of the Capri Companies, shall also
deliver to the Lender a written certificate, in form and substance acceptable to
the Lender and signed by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer
of CCLP that explains in reasonable detail the calculation of the due and
payable Annual Supplemental Fee.

Percent (65%) of the outstanding total voting partnership interests in CCLP at

transfer or assignment of interests in CCLP, to any
17
Person other than (A) one who is presently a partner in CCLP (B), CRC or (C) the

its principals will cooperate fully, and to the satisfaction of the Lender, with
