                             (REVERSE OF SECURITY)

                    8 5/8% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE 2012

     1.   Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount
of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. Interest on the Notes will
accrue from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from December 20, 2002. The Company will pay interest
semi-annually in arrears in cash on each Interest Payment Date, commencing June
15, 2003. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

     The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue
installments of interest from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the
Notes plus 2% per annum and on overdue installments of interest (without regard
to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.

     2.   Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except
defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at the close
of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date
even if the Notes are cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of
exchange after such Record Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent
to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in
money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts ("U.S. Legal Tender"). However, the
Company may pay principal and interest by its check payable in such U.S. Legal
Tender, or, at the Company's option, by wire transfer to an account maintained
by the payee with a bank located in the United States. The Company may deliver
any such interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a Holder at the Holder's
registered address.

     3.   Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying
Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or
co-Registrar without notice to the Holders.

     4.   Indenture and Guarantee. The Company issued the Notes under an
Indenture, dated as of December 20, 2002 (as amended and supplemented from time
to time, the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Del Monte Foods Company
("Holdings"), the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture, and
collectively with Holdings, the "Guarantors") and The Bank of New York, as
Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor Trustee under the
Indenture). This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of initial Notes of the
Company designated as its 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the
"Initial Notes"). The Initial Notes are limited in aggregate principal amount to
$450,000,000. Subject to compliance with the covenants in the Indenture and to
applicable law, the Company may issue additional notes (the "Additional Notes")
under the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes, the Additional Notes
and the Exchange Notes, as defined below, issued in exchange for Notes pursuant
to the Indenture. The Initial Notes, Additional Notes and the Exchange Notes are
treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. Terms herein are
used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of
the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections
77aaa-77bbbb)(the "TIA"), as in effect on the date of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding anything

                                      A-5

<PAGE>
to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of
Notes are referred to the Indenture and said Act for a statement of such terms,
including the respective rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms
upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Notes
are general unsecured obligations of the Company. Payment on each Note is
guaranteed on a subordinated basis by Holdings and on a senior subordinated
basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Article Eleven of the Indenture.

     5. Subordination. The Notes are subordinated in right of payment, in the
manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, to the prior payment in
full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Debt of the Company, whether
outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred,
assumed or guaranteed. Each Holder by his acceptance hereof agrees to be bound
by such provisions and authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee and the
Paying Agent, on his behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided for in the Indenture and
appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purposes.

     6. Redemption.

     (a) Optional Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable, at the Company's
option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on and after
December 15, 2007, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the
following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount
of the Notes to be redeemed) if redeemed during the twelve-month period
commencing on December 15 of the years set forth below, plus, in each case,
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date, except
that installments of interest which are due and payable on dates falling on or
prior to the applicable Redemption Date will be payable to the person who were
Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates.

</Table>

     (b) Optional Redemption Upon Equity Offerings. At any time, or from time to
time, on or prior to December 15, 2005, the Company may, at its option, use the
net cash proceeds (but only to the extent such proceeds consist of cash or Cash
Equivalents, as such terms are defined in the Indenture) of one or more Equity
Offerings (as defined in the Indenture) to redeem Notes in an aggregate
principal amount equal to up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
(including any Additional Notes but excluding the Exchange Notes) originally
issued at a Redemption Price equal to 108.625% of the principal amount of the
Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption
Date, except that installments of interest which are due and payable on dates
falling on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date will be payable to the
persons who were the Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant
Record Dates; provided that Notes in aggregate principal amount equal to at
least 65% of the principal amount of Notes (excluding any Additional Notes and
also excluding the Exchange

                                      A-6



<PAGE>
Notes) outstanding on the Merger Date remains outstanding immediately after any
such redemption.

     In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the proceeds of any Equity
Offering, the Company shall make such redemption not more than 120 days after
the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

     (c) Optional Redemption Upon Change of Control. At any time, on or prior to
December 15, 2007, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole,
upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), upon
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice (but in no event more than
90 days after the occurrence of such Change of Control) mailed by first-class
mail to each Holder's registered address, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium (as
defined below) as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
redemption (the "Change of Control Redemption Date"), except that installments
of interest which are due and payable on dates falling on or prior to the
applicable Change of Control Redemption Date will be payable to the persons who
were the Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record
Dates.

     "Applicable Premium" means, with respect to a Note at any Change of Control
Redemption Date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note
and (ii) the excess of (A) the present value at such time of (1) the Redemption
Price of such Note at December 15, 2007, determined in accordance with Paragraph
6(a) above, plus (2) all required interest payments due on such Note through
December 15, 2007, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate
plus .5% per annum, over (B) the principal amount of such Note.

     "Treasury Rate" means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of
U.S. Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in
the most recent Federal Reserve Release H.15 (519) which has become publicly
available at least two Business Days prior to the Change of Control Redemption
Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly
available source of similar market data)) closest to the period from the Change
of Control Redemption Date to December 15, 2007; provided, however, that if the
period from the Change of Control Redemption Date to December 15, 2007, is not
equal to the constant maturity of a U.S. Treasury security for which a weekly
average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear
interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of one year) from the
weekly average yields of U.S. Treasury securities for which such yields are
given, except that if the period from the Change of Control Redemption Date to
December 15, 2007, is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually
traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year
shall be used.

     7. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30
days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of
Notes to be redeemed at such Holder's registered address. Notes in denominations
larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part.

     Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for the redemption of the
Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent for
redemption on such Redemption Date, then, unless the Company defaults in the
payment of such Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, the
Notes called for redemption will cease to bear interest from and

                                      A-7
<PAGE>
after such Redemption Date and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will
be to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any.

     8.  Offers to Purchase.  Sections 4.15 and 4.16 of the Indenture provide
that, after certain Asset Sales (as defined in the Indenture) and upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), and subject to
further limitations contained therein, the Company will make an offer to
purchase certain amounts of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the Indenture.

     9.  Registration Rights.  Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as
defined in the Indenture), the Company will be obligated to consummate an
exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder of this Note shall have the right to
exchange this Note for the Company's Series B 8-5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2012 (the "Exchange Notes"), which have been registered under the Securities
Act, in like principal amount and having terms identical in all material
respects to the Initial Notes. The Holders of the Initial Notes and Additional
Notes shall be entitled to receive certain Additional Interest (as defined in
the Indenture) in the event such exchange offer is not consummated and upon
certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of
the Registration Rights Agreement.

     10. Denominations; Transfer, Exchange.  The Notes are in registered form,
without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A
Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange Notes in accordance with the
Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer
taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or
exchange of any Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption.

     11. Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of a Note shall be
treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

     12. Unclaimed Money.  If money for the payment of principal or interest
remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay the
money back to the Company. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such
Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

     13. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.  If the Company at any time
deposits with the Trustee U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the notes to redemption or
maturity and complies with the other provisions of the Indenture relating
thereto, the Company will be discharged from certain provisions of the Indenture
and the Notes (including certain covenants, but excluding its obligation to pay
the principal of and interest on the Notes).

     14. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.  Subject to certain exceptions, the
Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent
of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or noncompliance
with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without
notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement
the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency,



                                      A-8

<PAGE>
provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated
Notes, comply with Article Five or Six of the Indenture, or add Holdings or Mike
Mac IHC, Inc. as guarantors under the Indenture, or make any other change that
does not adversely affect in any material respect the rights of any Holder of a
Note.

     15. Restrictive Covenants.  The Indenture imposes certain limitations on
the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other
things, incur additional Indebtedness, make payments in respect of its Capital
Stock or certain Indebtedness, enter into transactions with Affiliates, create
dividend or other payment restrictions affecting Subsidiaries, merge or
consolidate with any other Person, sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or adopt a plan of
liquidation. Such limitations are subject to a number of important
qualifications and exceptions. The Company and Holdings must annually report to
the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

     16. Successors.  When a successor assumes, in accordance with the
Indenture, all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the
Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those obligations.

     17. Defaults and Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of Notes then outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and payable
in the manner, at the time and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided
in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the
Notes unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. The
Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct
the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from
Holders of Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest).

     18. Trustee Dealings with Company.  The Trustee under the Indenture, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective
Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

     19. No Recourse Against Others.  No stockholder, director, officer,
employee or incorporator, as such, of the Company shall have any liability for
any obligation of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim
based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
Each Holder of a Note by accepting a Note waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance
of the Notes.

     20. Authentication.  This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or an
Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on this
Note.

     21. Governing Law.  The Laws of the State of New York shall govern this
Note and the Indenture, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

     22. Abbreviations and Defined Terms.  Customary abbreviations may be used
in the name of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in
common), TEN



                                      A-9
<PAGE>
ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=Custodian), and UIGIMIA
(=Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

     23. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused
CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the
Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed
on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed hereon.

     24. Indenture. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all
of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as the same may be amended from
time to time.

     The Company will furnish to any Holder of a Note upon written request and
without charge a copy of the Indenture, which has the text of this Note in
larger type. Requests may be made to: Vice President, Legal Affairs and
Secretary, Del Monte Corporation, One Market Street @ The Landmark, San
