         request an Incremental Term Loan Borrowing by delivering a Notice of
         Incremental Term Loan Borrowing to the Administrative Agent
         substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto (a "NOTICE OF
         INCREMENTAL TERM LOAN BORROWING"), specifying (subject to Section
         2.1(d)(iii)) therein the (1) amount of the Tranche of Incremental Term
         Loans requested (which Tranche shall be in a minimum principal amount
         of $100,000,000 and integral multiples of $50,000,000 in excess
         thereof), (2) requested advance date of the proposed Incremental Term
         Loans comprising such Tranche (which shall be at least 30 days but not
         more than 90 days from the date of delivery of the Notice of
         Incremental Term Loan Borrowing), (3) the interest rate to be

         amortization and maturity date requested for all Incremental Term Loans
         in such Tranche, and (5) the amount of any upfront or closing fees to
         be paid by such Borrower to the Incremental Term Loan Lenders funding
         the Tranche of Incremental Term Loans requested. The Administrative
         Agent shall deliver a copy of each Notice of Incremental Term Loan
         Borrowing to each Lender. Each Notice of Incremental Term Loan
         Borrowing shall be binding on all Borrowers. At the time of delivery of
         the Notice of Incremental Term Loan Borrowing, Fresh Produce shall
         deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the chief
         financial officer of Fresh Produce certifying (A) that Fresh Produce is
         in compliance with the financial covenants hereof before and after
         giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Borrowing (based on
         combined actual results for the twelve month period ending on the last
         day of the last month for which financial statements of Fresh Produce
         are available, after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan
         Borrowing), and (B) that no Event of Default then exists or would be
         caused thereby.

                           (ii) Each Lender (or New Lender) may, if, in its sole
         discretion, it elects to do so, offer to assume an Incremental Term
         Loan Commitment to fund a portion of the Tranche of Incremental Term
         Loans requested in such Notice of Incremental Term Loan Borrowing by
         notifying the Administrative Agent of the minimum and maximum amount of
         the Incremental Term Loan Commitment which such Lender would be willing
         to assume as part of such Incremental Term Loan Borrowing, not later
         than 14 days after the date of Administrative Agent's delivery of such
         Notice of Incremental Term Loan Borrowing to such Lender (or New
         Lender). If the Administrative Agent does not receive Incremental Term
         Loan Commitments from Lenders (or New Lenders) in an amount sufficient
         to fund the Incremental Term Loans requested in the Notice of
         Incremental Term Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall so
         notify Fresh Produce and the Notice of Incremental Term Loan Borrowing
         shall be deemed automatically rescinded; PROVIDED, the Borrowers may
         submit a replacement Notice of Incremental Term Loan Borrowing setting
         forth different terms for the requested Incremental Term Loan
         Borrowing. If the Administrative Agent receives Incremental Term Loan
         Commitments equal to or in excess of the amount necessary to fund the
         Incremental Term Loans requested in the Notice of Incremental Term Loan
         Borrowing, the Notice of Incremental Term Loan Borrowing shall be
         irrevocable by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have
         the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce and reallocate (within the
         minimum and maximum amounts specified by each such Lender in its notice
         to the Administrative Agent) the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of
         the Lenders willing to fund such Incremental Term Loan Borrowing so
         that the total Incremental Term Loan Commitments in connection with
         such Tranche equals the Incremental Term Loan Borrowing requested for
         such Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the
         acceptance and amount of its Incremental Term Loan Commitment, and such


                                       12
<PAGE>

         Lender shall thereafter execute and deliver a Lender Joinder Agreement,
         and be deemed an "Incremental Term Loan Lender" hereunder, with respect
         to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment for such Tranche requested by
         such Notice of Incremental Term Loan Borrowing. Each Incremental Term
         Loan Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date
         such Incremental Term Loan Borrowing is to be made, make available for
         the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative
         Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds, such
         Incremental Term Loan Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Incremental Term
         Loans. After the Administrative Agent's receipt of such funds and upon
         fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, the
         Administrative Agent will make such funds immediately available to the
         requesting Borrower by crediting the account of such Borrower set forth
         in the Notice of Incremental Term Loan Borrowing pursuant to which such
         Incremental Term Loans are being made.

                           (iii) The final maturity date for each Incremental
         Term Loan shall be the applicable Maturity Date. The aggregate amount
         of Incremental Term Loans advanced under this Agreement shall not (x)
         have a scheduled amortization providing for principal repayments which
         exceed $50,000,000 prior to the Revolving Termination Date (exclusive
         of any optional prepayments under Section 2.5(b)) or (y) exceed the
         principal amount of $400,000,000. Amounts repaid under the Incremental
         Term Loan Commitment may not be reborrowed.

                           (iv) Each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (i) shall
         bear interest at the Base Rate or the LIBO Rate plus such Applicable
         Margin as is set forth in the Notice of Incremental Term Loan Borrowing
         related to such Tranche, and shall otherwise be subject to the
         amortization and other terms set forth in the applicable Notice of
         Incremental Term Loan Borrowing relating to such Tranche, (ii) shall
         for all purposes be Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents;
         (iii) shall be represented by an Incremental Term Loan Note to the
         order of each Incremental Term Loan Lender for such Tranche, and (iv)
         shall rank pari passu with the Revolving Advances."

Revolving Commitments, (w) the Type of Revolving Advance to be made, (x) the
date on which such Revolving Advance is to be made, (y) the amount of such

Period therefor (which Interest Period shall be the same for each Lender) (such
written notice to be substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 attached hereto,
and being hereinafter referred to as the "NOTICE OF REVOLVING BORROWING"). Each
such Notice of Revolving Borrowing shall be sent by electronic mail or facsimile
and signed by the chief financial officer of any of the Borrowers or Vice
President of Corporate Finance or the Senior Director of Treasury or corporate
controller of Del Monte Fresh Produce Company. All or a portion of the
Incremental Term Loans of one Type may be Converted to Incremental Term Loans of

(New York City time) on the date such Revolving Advance is to be made, make
available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative
Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds, such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Advance. After the Administrative Agent's
receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set


                                       14
<PAGE>

forth in Article 3, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to
the requesting Borrower by crediting the account of such Borrower set forth in
the Notice of Revolving Borrowing pursuant to which the Revolving Advance is
being made. Each Lender making an Incremental Term Loan Advance shall fund such
Incremental Term Loan in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(ii).

                  (b) Each Swing Line Advance shall be made on notice, given not
later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Swing
Line Advance, by any Borrower to the Swing Line Bank. Each such notice of a
proposed Swing Line borrowing (a "NOTICE OF SWING LINE BORROWING") shall be by
telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or electronic mail or facsimile,
specifying therein the requested (i) date on which such Swing Line Advance is to
be made and (ii) amount of such Swing Line Advance. The Swing Line Bank, upon
fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, will make the
amount thereof available, no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such
Business Day, to the requesting Borrower in same day funds by crediting the
account of such Borrower set forth in the Notice of Swing Line Borrowing
pursuant to which the Swing Line Advance is being made. At any time the Swing
Line Bank makes a Swing Line Advance, each Revolving Lender (other than the
Swing Line Bank) shall be deemed, without further action by any Person, to have
purchased from the Swing Line Bank an unfunded participation in any such Swing
Line Advance in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of
such Swing Line Advance and shall be obligated to fund such participation as a
Revolving Advance at such time and in the manner provided below. Each such
Revolving Lender's obligation to participate in, purchase and fund such
participating interests shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other
Person may have against the Swing Line Bank or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default or the termination of the Revolving Commitments; (C) any adverse change
in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the requesting Borrower or any
other Person; (D) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any other
Lender; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing. Each Borrower hereby consents to each such
sale and assignment. Each Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of
an outstanding Swing Line Advance on (X) the Business Day on which demand
therefor is made by the Swing Line Bank, provided that such demand is made not
later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (Y) the
first Business Day next succeeding such demand if such demand is made after such
time. Upon any such assignment by the Swing Line Bank to any other Revolving
Lender of a participation in a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Bank
represents and warrants to such other Revolving Lender that it is the legal and
beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such
Swing Line Advance, the Loan Documents or the Borrower to which such Swing Line
Advance was made. If and to the extent that any Revolving Lender shall not have
so made the amount of such participation in such Swing Line Advance available to
the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest
thereon, for each day from the date of request by the Swing Line Bank until the


                                       15
<PAGE>

date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
If such Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for
the account of the Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in
respect of principal shall constitute a Revolving Advance made by such Revolving
Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding
principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by the Swing Line Bank shall be
reduced by such amount on such Business Day.

                  (c) Each Notice of Revolving Borrowing and Notice of Swing
Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers requesting the
Advances covered by such Notice and such Borrower shall indemnify each Lender
against any loss or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure
to fulfill on or before, as applicable, the date specified for such Advance the
applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, including, without limitation, any
loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits) or expense incurred by reason of
the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such
Lender (and the Administrative Agent in the case of Advances by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(d)) to fund such Advance when such
Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

                  (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Revolving Lender prior to the date of any Revolving Advance, that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Revolving
Lender's Revolving Commitment Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Advance, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender has made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Revolving Advance in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the requesting Borrower
on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Revolving
Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the
Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender and the requesting Borrower
severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount is made available to the requesting Borrower until the date
such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of
repayment or payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time
under Section 2.6 to such Revolving Advance, and (ii) in the case of repayment
or payment by such Revolving Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Revolving
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such
amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender's Revolving Advance for
all purposes.

                  (e) The failure of any Lender to make any Advance required to
be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
under this Agreement to make any Advance required to be made by it, but no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any
Advance required to be made by such other Lender.

                  (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, LIBO Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than 15
separate Borrowings in the aggregate. Each LIBO Rate Advance shall be in an
amount of U.S.$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of U.S.$100,000 in excess
thereof. Each Base Rate Advance (other than the initial Base Rate Advance
hereunder) shall be in an amount of U.S.$1,000,000 or an integral multiple of
U.S. $100,000 in excess thereof."

                  1.4 AMENDMENT TO SECTION 2.3. Section 2.3 of the Credit
Agreement, ISSUANCE OF AND DRAWINGS AND REIMBURSEMENT UNDER LETTERS OF CREDIT,
is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu
thereof:

                  "SECTION 2.3 ISSUANCE OF AND DRAWINGS AND REIMBURSEMENT UNDER
LETTERS OF CREDIT.

                  (a) REQUEST FOR ISSUANCE.

                  (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given
         not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business
         Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of
         Credit, by the requesting Borrower to the Administrative Agent. The
         Administrative Agent shall give to the Issuing Bank prompt notice
         thereof by telex, telecopier or electronic mail of such Borrower's
         request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit. Each such notice of
         issuance of a Letter of Credit (a "NOTICE OF ISSUANCE") shall be by
         telex, telecopier or electronic mail, specifying therein the requested
         (A) type of Letter of Credit, (B) date of such issuance (which shall be
         a Business Day), (C) stated principal amount of such Letter of Credit,
         (D) expiration of such Letter of Credit, (E) name and address of the
         beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (F) form of any such Letter of
         Credit.

                  (ii) If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is
         acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, the Issuing Bank
         will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in
         Article 3, make such Letter of Credit available to the requesting
         Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.2 or as otherwise
         agreed with such Borrower in connection with such issuance. At any time
         the Issuing Bank issues a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender
         (other than the Issuing Bank) shall be deemed without further action by
         any Person, to have purchased from the Issuing Bank an unfunded
         participation in such outstanding Letter of Credit in an amount equal
         to such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment Pro Rata Share of the
         stated principal amount of such Letter of Credit and shall be obligated
         to fund such participation in the Revolving Advance resulting from any
         drawing under such Letter of Credit at such time and in the manner
         provided below. At the request of any Revolving Lender, the Issuing
         Bank will send to such Revolving Lender a copy of any Letter of Credit
         issued by the Issuing Bank under this clause (ii).

                  (b) DRAWING AND REIMBURSEMENT. The payment by the Issuing Bank
of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of
this Agreement the making of a Revolving Advance by the Issuing Bank bearing
interest at the Base Rate in the amount of such draft. In the event of a payment
of any draft drawn under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, each
other Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Issuing Bank,
and the Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each such other Revolving Lender,
such other Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment Pro Rata Share of such
outstanding Revolving Advance as of the date of such purchase, by making
available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative
Agent's Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the


                                       17
<PAGE>

outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Advance to be purchased by such
Revolving Lender. Each Borrower hereby consents to each such sale and
assignment. Each Revolving Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an
outstanding Revolving Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor
is made by the Issuing Bank, PROVIDED notice of such demand is given not later
than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first
Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after
such time. Upon any such assignment by the Issuing Bank to any other Revolving
Lender of a portion of such Revolving Advance, the Issuing Bank represents and
warrants to such other Revolving Lender that it is the legal and beneficial
owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation
or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Revolving
Advance, the Loan Documents or the Borrower for the account of which such Letter
of Credit was issued. If and to the extent that any Revolving Lender shall not
have so made the amount of its interest in such Revolving Advance available to
the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest
thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the Issuing Bank until the date
such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. On
the last day of each month, the Issuing Bank shall notify each Revolving Lender
of its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Advances made by the Issuing Bank during
the preceding month pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) and shall pay to each such
Revolving Lender in respect of the amount of any funded participations of such
Revolving Lender in such Revolving Advances outstanding at any time during the
preceding month, an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the interest payable on such Revolving Advances only to the extent that such
amounts shall have been paid to the Issuing Bank by the Borrowers.

                  (c) OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The payment obligations of the
Borrowers under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit and any
agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances,
including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

                  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement
         or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (this Agreement
         and all of the foregoing being, collectively, the "L/C RELATED
         DOCUMENTS");

                  (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or
         in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of any Borrower in
         respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of
         or consent to or departure from all or any of the L/C Related
         Documents;

                  (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
         right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or
         any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such
         beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Lender or any
         other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated
         by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

                  (iv) any statement or any other document presented under a
         Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
         insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
         inaccurate in any respect;

                                       18
<PAGE>

                  (v) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit
         against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly
         comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

                  (vi) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral
         or other collateral for all or any of the obligations of any Borrower
         in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or

                  (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether
         or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation,
         any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
         available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower."

                  1.5 AMENDMENT TO SECTION 2.4. Section 2.4 of the Credit
Agreement, FEES, is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is
substituted in lieu thereof:

                  "SECTION 2.4 FEES.

                  (a) ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Borrowers agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent for its own account a fee separately agreed between the

Letter or the Supplemental Fee Letter.

                  (b) COMMITMENT FEE. The Borrowers agree to pay to the

Revolving Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such
commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior
to such time; and PROVIDED FURTHER that no commitment fee shall accrue on the
Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Revolving Lender
shall be a Defaulting Lender.

                  (c) LETTER OF CREDIT FEES. In addition, the requesting
Borrower shall, in consideration of the issuance by the Issuing Bank of each
Letter of Credit and in addition to other charges payable by each Borrower to
any of the Lenders under this Agreement, (i) pay to the Administrative Agent for

connection with the Letters of Credit outstanding during the previous quarter,

accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that in the event that any Lender receives payment of the principal of

PROVIDED, FURTHER, that to the extent any Borrower prepays any Incremental Term

         Revolving Commitment or an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (except in
         the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such
         assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender's rights
         and obligations under this Agreement), the amount of the Revolving
         Commitment or Incremental Term Loan Commitment of the assigning Lender
         being assigned pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date

PARTICIPATIONS, is hereby amended by deleting clause (e) thereof in its entirety
and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

Note held by it); PROVIDED that (i) such Lender's obligations under this
Agreement (including without limitation its Commitment) shall remain unchanged;

directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement; and (v) no participant under any such
participation shall have any right to approve such Lender's action with respect

<PAGE>

to any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent
to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such
amendment, waiver or consent would reduce or forgive the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of, or reduce the rate of interest or fees on, the Notes, in
each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any scheduled
date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any
fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to
such participation, or release any material portion of the Collateral or any
Guarantor from its obligations under its respective Guaranty Agreement, except
in connection with a sale or merger permitted hereunder or in accordance with
the terms of any other Loan Document. Each such participant shall have the right
of set-off set forth in Section 9.5 hereof in respect of its participating
interest to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest was
owed directly to it as a Lender; PROVIDED such right of set-off shall be subject
to the obligation of such participant to share with the Lenders as provided in
Section 2.8 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.7 to the
contrary, any Farm Credit Lender that (1) is the owner of a participation in the
minimum amount of $15,000,000, (2) is, by written notice to Fresh Produce and
the Administrative Agent ("VOTING PARTICIPANT NOTIFICATION"), designated by the
selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a voting
participant hereunder (any Farm Credit Lender so designated being called a
"VOTING PARTICIPANT") and (3) receives the prior written consent of Fresh
Produce and the Administrative Agent to become a Voting Participant, shall be
entitled to vote for so long as such Farm Credit Lender owns such participation
and notwithstanding any subparticipation by such Farm Credit Lender (and the
voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced), on a

requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to
otherwise vote on any proposed action. To be effective, each Voting Participant
Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (x) state the full
name, as well as all contact information required of an assignee in an
Assignment and Acceptance and (y) state the dollar amount of the participation
purchased. The selling Lender and the Voting Participant shall notify the
Administrative Agent and Fresh Produce within 3 Business Days' of any
termination of, or reduction or increase in the amount of, such participation.
Fresh Produce and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on information contained in notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph.
The voting rights hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Voting Participant
and shall not inure to any assignee or participant of the Voting Participant."

                  1.18 AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 10.2. Section 10.2 of the Credit
Agreement, TAXES, is hereby amended by deleting clauses (e) and (f) thereof in
their entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

                  "(e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and
delivery of this Agreement in the case of each initial Lender hereunder, and on
the date of the Assignment and Acceptance or Lender Joinder Agreement pursuant
to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to
time thereafter if requested in writing by a Borrower or the Administrative
Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do
so), provide the Administrative Agent and such Borrower with (1)(x) if such


                                       30
<PAGE>

Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio
interest exception, (A) a statement of the Lender, signed under penalty of
perjury, that it is not (I) a "bank" as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Internal Revenue Code, (II) a ten percent (10%) shareholder of any Borrower
(within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code), or
(III) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower within the
meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (B) a properly
completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN, (y) if such Lender claims an exemption
from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty,
properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN, or (z) if such Lender claims
that interest paid under this Agreement or the Notes is exempt from United
States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States
trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS
Form W-8ECI, and (2) such other form or forms as may be required under the
Internal Revenue Code or other laws, regulations, administrative practice or
applicable treaties of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or
reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of any United States
withholding tax for which any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts
under this Section 10.2. If the appropriate forms provided by a Lender at the
time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates an
interest-withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate
shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides
the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon
withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes
for periods governed by such form; PROVIDED that, if at the date of the
Assignment and Acceptance or Lender Joinder Agreement pursuant to which a Lender
assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to
payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with
respect to interest paid at such date by a Borrower, then, to such extent, the
term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed
in the future or other amounts otherwise includible in Taxes) withholding tax,
if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form
or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of
information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and
information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN
or W-8ECI or other form that the applicable Borrower has indicated in writing to
the Lenders on the date hereof as being a required form to avoid or reduce
withholding tax on payments under this Agreement or on the Notes, that a Lender
reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof
to the Borrowers and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document
such confidential information. If a Lender is a United States person, upon the
request of Fresh Produce, it agrees to complete and deliver to Fresh Produce a
statement signed by an authorized signatory of such Lender to the effect that it
is a United States person together with a duly completed and executed copy of
Internal Revenue Service form W-9 or successor form establishing that such
Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding tax.

                  (f) If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of,
withholding tax pursuant to subsection (e), and such Lender sells, assigns,
grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations
of the Borrowers to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify the Administrative
Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of
Obligations of the Borrowers to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage
amount, the Administrative Agent will treat such Lender's documentation as no
longer valid. If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable
withholding tax, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment


                                       31
<PAGE>

to such Lender in an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after
taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required
by subsection (e) of this Section are not delivered to the Administrative Agent,
then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such
Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to
the applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other
Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a
claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts
paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not
delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify
the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other
reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless
for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax
or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed
by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under
this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and
expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the
payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the
Administrative Agent."
