Exhibit 10(a)(xlvi)

NON-U.S. EMPLOYEES

Long-Term Performance Program Award Agreement
(Fiscal Years 2013-2014)

[DATE]

Dear [RECIPIENT NAME]:

H. J. Heinz Company is pleased to confirm that, effective as of ____________,
you have been granted an Award under the Long-Term Performance Program in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Third Amended and Restated H. J.
Heinz Company Fiscal Year 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to
time (the “Plan”). This Award is also made under and pursuant to this letter
agreement (“Agreement”), the terms and conditions of which shall govern and
control in the event of a conflict with the terms and conditions of the Plan.
For purposes of this Agreement, the “Company” shall refer to H. J. Heinz Company
and its Subsidiaries. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, all
capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the same defined meanings as
in the Plan.

1.
Award. The target value of the award to you under this Agreement is equal to <<
VALUE>> <<Currency>> (the “Target Award Opportunity”). The maximum award
opportunity for the Performance Period is equal to twice this amount (the
“Maximum Award Opportunity”), subject to proration pursuant to Section 3 below.
Your actual Award will be paid as a percentage of your Target Award Opportunity,
as determined pursuant to Section 2 below. The “Performance Period” means the
two consecutive fiscal year periods of Fiscal Year 2013 and Fiscal Year 2014.

2.
Performance Goals. The Award will be determined based upon the level of success
the Company achieves during the Performance Period relative to the performance
goals established by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of
the Company's Board of Directors (the “MDCC”) as set forth below:

(a)
After-Tax Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) Metric. Fifty percent (50%) of your
Target Award Opportunity will be determined by the Company's performance against
the ROIC target metric established by the MDCC (the “ROIC Target”). For each
fiscal year in the Performance Period, an ROIC value will be calculated, as
adjusted to eliminate the after-tax effects of any charges that may be excluded
when determining Performance Measures under the Plan (“ROIC Value”). Each ROIC
Value will consist of after-tax operating profit as defined by the Company
divided by average invested capital. Average invested capital is defined as the
five quarter average of net debt, as defined by the Company, plus total
shareholder equity as set forth on the financial statements of the Company for
the five most recent fiscal quarters. At the end of the Performance Period, the
ROIC Values for each fiscal year in the Performance Period will be averaged (the
“ROIC Average”) and the ROIC Average will be compared to the ROIC Target.

    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The payout percentage for the ROIC metric for the Performance Period is as
follows:

(1) Represents one half of the Target Award Opportunity

(b)
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Metric. Fifty percent (50%) of your Target Award
Opportunity will be determined by the Company's two-year TSR growth rate (the
“TSR Value”) compared to the two-year TSR growth rates of each of the companies
in the TSR Peer Group other than the Company. The “TSR Peer Group” is comprised
of the following companies: Campbell Soup Company, ConAgra Foods, Inc., Dean
Foods Company, General Mills, Inc., H. J. Heinz Company, The Hershey Company,
Hormel Foods Corporation, The J.M. Smucker Company, Kellogg Company, and
McCormick & Company, Incorporated (each a “TSR Peer Company”). Each of the TSR
Peer Companies' two-year TSR growth rates will be calculated by using the
following values:

(i)
Starting Value.    The average of each TSR Peer Company's stock price for the 60
trading days prior to the first day of a Performance Period (the “Starting
Value”); and

(ii)
Ending Value.    The average of each TSR Peer Company's stock price for the 60
trading days prior to and including the last day of a Performance Period plus
all dividends paid over the Performance Period (the “Ending Value”).

(iii)
TSR Value. Dividing the Ending Value by the Starting Value minus one and
multiplied by 100 (the “TSR Value”).

(iv)
TSR Ranking. Arraying the TSR Value of each TSR Peer Company, from highest TSR
Value, which is given a ranking of 1, to lowest TSR Value (the “TSR Ranking”).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's TSR Ranking will determine the percentage of the Target Award
Opportunity earned as follows:

(1) Represents one-half of the Target Award Opportunity.

3.
Payment of Performance Award. Unless the MDCC offered a deferral election
satisfying the requirements of Code Section 409A with respect to your Award, and
you made such a deferral election, your Award, if earned, will be paid as soon
as administratively practicable after the last day of the Performance Period,
(but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which occurs the last day of the Performance Period), subject
to Sections 4 and 5 below.

(a)
If your employment with the Company began after the commencement of the
Performance Period, the actual amount of your Target Award Opportunity will be
pro-rated based upon the number of months that you were employed by the Company
(in an eligible position) during the Performance Period, except that if your
employment begins during the last six months of the Performance Period, no
Target Award Opportunity for that Performance Period will be granted.

(b)
The Award will be paid in cash, subject to the limits set forth in the Plan;
provided, however, that in the event that you are an executive covered by the
Company's Stock Ownership Guidelines (the “SOG”) and you have not yet attained
the requisite level of stock ownership at the time payment would otherwise be
made, 50% of your Award, after taxes, will be paid in the form of escrowed
vested Restricted Stock. At the end of the fiscal year in which you meet the
SOG, the restrictions will be lifted. At the time that the SOG are no longer
applicable because you terminate employment, the restrictions on the escrowed
vested Restricted Stock will be lifted. Nevertheless, the Company reserves the
right to pay your award entirely in cash in light of local law or administrative
issues. To the extent the entire award may not be paid in cash due to the limits
set forth in the Plan, the remainder of the Award, after taxes, will be made in
Common Stock to the extent permitted by the Plan.

4.
Termination of Employment. The termination of your employment with the Company
will have the following effect on your Award:

(a)
Qualified Termination of Employment During First Year of Performance Period. In
the event that your employment with the Company ends during the first fiscal
year of the Performance Period as a result of your death, Disability, or
Retirement, your Award will be pro-rated automatically and paid (in accordance
with Section 3 of this Agreement) at the end of the Performance Period as
determined in accordance with Section 2, subject to the provisions of

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 5. In the event that your employment with the Company ends during the
first fiscal year of the Performance Period as a result of your Involuntary
Termination without Cause, your Award will be forfeited automatically unless you
execute a release of claims of the Company in the form requested by the Company,
in which case your Award will be pro-rated automatically and paid (in accordance
with Section 3 of this Agreement) at the end of the Performance Period as
determined in accordance with Section 2, subject to the provisions of Section 5.

(b)
Qualified Termination of Employment During Second Year of Performance
Period.    In the event that your employment with the Company ends during the
second year of the Performance Period as the result of your death, Disability,
or Retirement, you will receive your Award (in accordance with Section 3 of this
Agreement), at the end of the Performance Period as determined in accordance
with Section 2, subject to the provisions of Section 5. In the event that your
employment with the Company ends during the second year of the Performance
Period as a result of your Involuntary Termination without Cause, your Award
will be forfeited automatically unless you execute a release of claims of the
Company in the form requested by the Company, in which case you will receive
your Award (in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement) at the end of the
Performance Period as determined in accordance with Section 2, subject to the
provisions of Section 5.

(c)
Other Termination. In the event your employment with the Company ends, at any
time prior to the completion of the Performance Period, as the result of any
reason other than as set forth in subsections (a) or (b) above, including
without limitation any voluntary termination of employment, your Award will be
forfeited automatically.

(d)
Accelerated Payment Upon a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in
Control (as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5)) during the Performance
Period, payment of this Performance Award will be accelerated immediately. The
amount of the Performance Award will be prorated as of the date the Change in
Control becomes effective, and shall be determined based upon verifiable Company
performance as of such date. In the event of a change in control not defined in
Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5), there will be no accelerated payment of the
Performance Award, but instead the rules of subsections (a) through (c) above
shall control.

5.
Non-Solicitation/Confidential Information.1 In partial consideration for the
Award granted to you hereunder, you agree that you shall not, during the term of
your employment by the Company and for 18 months after termination of your
employment, regardless of the reason for the termination, either directly or
indirectly, solicit, take away or attempt to solicit or take away any employee
of the Company, either for your own purpose or for any other person or entity.
You further agree that you shall not, during the term of your employment by the
Company or at any time thereafter, use or disclose the Confidential Information
(as defined below) except as directed by, and in furtherance of the business
purposes of, the Company. You acknowledge (i) that the non-solicitation
provision set forth in this Section 5 is essential for the proper protection of
the business of the Company; (ii) that it is essential to the protection of the
Company's goodwill and to the maintenance of the Company's competitive position
that any Confidential Information be kept secret and not disclosed to others;
and (iii) that the breach or threatened breach of this Section 5 will result in
irreparable injury to

1 The non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants set forth in Section 5 are
indicative. The specific provisions may differ in various international
jurisdictions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Company for which there is no adequate remedy at law because, among other
things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary damages that
would result to the Company. You consent to the issuance of any restraining
order or preliminary restraining order or injunction with respect to any conduct
by you that is directly or indirectly a breach or a threatened breach of this
Section 5. In addition, in the sole discretion of the Company, and in addition
to all other rights and remedies available to the Company at law, in equity, or
under this Agreement, any breach by you of the provisions of this Section 5 will
result in the forfeiture of any unpaid portion of your Award to which you would
otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

“Confidential Information” means technical or business information about or
relating to the Company and/or its products, processes, methods, engineering,
technology, purchasing, marketing, selling, and services not readily available
to the public or generally known in the trade, including but not limited to:
inventions; ideas; improvements; discoveries; developments; formulations;
ingredients; recipes; specifications; designs; standards; financial data; sales,
marketing and distribution plans, techniques and strategies; customer and
supplier information; equipment; mechanisms; manufacturing plans; processing and
packaging techniques; trade secrets and other confidential information,
knowledge, data and know-how of the Company, whether or not they originated with
you or information which the Company received from third parties under an
obligation of confidentiality.

6.
Impact on Benefits.    The Award, if earned, will not be included as
compensation under any of the Company's retirement and other benefit plans,
including but not limited to the H. J. Heinz Company Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan, the H. J. Heinz Company Employees Retirement and Savings Excess
Plan and/or any other plan of the Company.

7.
Tax Withholding.2 Regardless of any action the Company or your employer (the
“Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance,
payroll tax, payment on account, or other tax-related withholding (collectively,
“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for
all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and
that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations nor
undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with
any aspect of this Award, including the grant of the Award and subsequent
delivery of the cash payment and/or (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or
any aspect of this Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related
Items. You shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items
that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your
participation in the Plan or your receipt of Awards that cannot be satisfied by
the means described below. Further, if you are subject to tax in more than one
jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or Employer (or former
Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related
Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to deliver the Award
payment if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the
Tax-Related Items.

Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you shall pay, or
make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer to
satisfy, all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company or
Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you by
(1) withholding from the Award payment in cash (and, if shares are delivered, a
number of shares otherwise deliverable equal to the Retained Share Amount, as
defined below) and/or (2) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation
paid by the Company

2 The tax provisions set forth in Section 7 are indicative. The specific
provisions may differ in various international jurisdictions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and/or Employer. The “Retained Share Amount” shall mean a number of shares equal
to the quotient of the minimum statutory tax withholding obligation of the
Company triggered by the Award payment on the relevant date, divided by the Fair
Market Value of one share on the relevant date or as otherwise provided in the
Plan. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a
number of shares as described herein, you understand that you will be deemed to
have been issued the full number of shares, notwithstanding that a number of
shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due
as a result of the settlement of the Award.

You acknowledge and understand that you should consult a tax adviser regarding
your tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.

8.
Non-Transferability.    Your Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged,
assigned, or otherwise encumbered except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

9.
No Contract of Employment.    You acknowledge and agree that nothing in this
Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon you any right with respect to future
awards or continuation of your employment, nor shall it constitute an employment
agreement or an assurance of employment through the Performance Period.

10.
Acknowledgement and Waiver. You acknowledge and agree that:

(a)
the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in
nature and may be modified, amended, suspended, or terminated by the Company at
any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement;

(b)
the grant of Awards is voluntary and occasional and does not create any
contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in
lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(c)
all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole
discretion of the Company;

(d)
your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment
with Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of Employer to terminate
your employment relationship and it is expressly agreed and understood that
employment is terminable at the will of either party, to the extent permitted by
law;

(e)
you are participating voluntarily in the Plan;

(f)
Awards and resulting benefits are an extraordinary item that does not constitute
compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the
Employer, and are outside the scope of your employment contract, if any;

(g)
Awards and resulting benefits are not part of normal or expected compensation or
salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any
severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments,
bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments
to the extent permitted by law;

(h)
in the event that you are not an employee of the Company, this Award will not be
interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, and
furthermore, this Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract
with the Employer or any Subsidiary of the Company; and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i)
in consideration of this Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or
damages shall arise from termination of this grant or diminution in value of
this Award resulting from termination of your employment by the Company or the
Employer (for any reason whatsoever) and you irrevocably release the Company and
the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the
foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
arisen, then, by accepting the terms of this Agreement, you shall be deemed
irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim.

  
11.
Data Protection.3 You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the
collection, use, and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal
data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer
and the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and
managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that the Company and the
Employer hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited
to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or
insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title,
any shares or directorships held in the company, details of all options or any
other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested,
unvested, or outstanding in your favor for the purpose of implementing, managing
and administering the Plan (“Data”). You understand that the Data may be
transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation,
administration, and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located
in your country or elsewhere, including outside the European Economic Area, and
that the recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections
than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and
addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Total
Rewards Department of the Company. You authorize the recipients to receive,
possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the
purposes of implementing, administering, and managing your participation in the
Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a
broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit shares, if any,
acquired under the Plan. You understand that the Data will be held only as long
as is necessary to implement, administer, and manage participation in the Plan.
You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional
information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary
amendments to the Data, or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case
without cost, by contacting the Total Rewards Department of the Company in
writing. You understand that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect your
ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of
refusing to consent or withdrawing consent, you understand that you may contact
the Plan administrator at the Company.

12.
Future Awards. The Plan is discretionary in nature and the Company may modify,
cancel, or terminate it at any time without prior notice in accordance with the
terms of the Plan. While Performance Awards or other awards may be granted under
the Plan on one or more occasions or even on a regular schedule, each grant is a
one-time event, is not an entitlement to an award of cash or stock in the
future, and does not create any contractual or other right to receive an award
or other compensation or benefits in the future.

13.
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its choice
of law provisions.

3 The provisions set forth in Section 11 are indicative. The specific provisions
may differ in various international jurisdictions.    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14.
Code Section 409A. Unless a deferral election satisfying the requirements of
Code Section 409A is offered with respect to the Award, it is intended that this
Award shall not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code and, as a result, shall not be subject to the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and this Award Agreement are
to be interpreted in a manner consistent with this intention. Absent a deferral
election satisfying the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and
notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, a new award may not be issued
if such award would be subject to Section 409A of the Code at the time of grant,
and the existing Award may not be modified in a manner that would cause such
Award to become subject to Section 409A of the Code at the time of such
modification.

This Award is subject to your signing and dating this Agreement and returning it
to the Company.
