delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and no further consent or action is required by
the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders. This Agreement has been (or upon delivery will be) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally or by general principles of equity. 
  

 2 

 (d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and
the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a
default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement,
credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company debt or otherwise) to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) and the rules and regulations of any
self-regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are subject, or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected except in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), such as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Company or materially impair the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement (a “Material
Adverse Effect”). 
 (e) The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of,
give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, other
than (i) the required filing of the Supplement, (ii) the required filings with the Nasdaq Global Market and (iii) in all other cases, where the failure to obtain such consent, waiver, authorization or order, or to give such notice or
make such filing or registration would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated
association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind. 
 (f) The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens,

a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement or that the Commission otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened to do so. The
offering, sale and issuance of the Shares to the Investor are registered under the Securities Act by the Registration Statement, and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company shall cause such Shares not to be freely transferable and
tradable by the Investor without restriction. The Shares are being issued as described in the Registration Statement. 
  

 3 

 (h) The Company shall (i) before the Nasdaq Global Market opens on the next
trading day after the date hereof, issue a press release, disclosing all material aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission. The Company shall
not identify the Investor by name in any press release or public filing, or otherwise publicly disclose the Investor’s name, without the Investor’s prior, written consent, unless the Company is advised by its counsel that disclosure of the
Investor’s name is required by law, in which case the Company shall promptly notify the Investor of such disclosure. 
 5. The
Investor hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants to the Company: 
 (a) The Investor,
either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so
evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Investor is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. 
 (b) The Investor acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review (including through availability to it of documents
electronically filed by the Company with the Commission) the basic prospectus included in the Registration Statement on the date hereof and all documents incorporated therein by reference (together with the price and amount of Shares sold as
described in Sections 2 and 4(a) hereof, the “Disclosure Package”) and the Registration Statement. Neither any such review nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Investor or its representatives or counsel shall
modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Package and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. 
 (c) The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the
Investor in connection with the purchase of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection
with its purchase of the Shares. 
 (d) The Investor represents that, except as set forth below, (a) it has had no
position, office or other material relationship within the past three years with the Company or any of its affiliates and (b) it has no direct affiliation or association with any NASD member. Exceptions: 
  

 (If no exceptions, write
“none.” If left blank, response will be deemed to be “none.”) 
 (e) The Investor shall not issue
any press release or make any other public announcement relating to this Agreement unless (i) the content thereof is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Investor or (ii) the Investor is advised by its counsel (including internal
counsel) that such press release or public announcement is required by law. 
  

 4 

 (f) Investor acknowledges that no offer by the Investor to buy Shares will be
accepted until the Company has accepted such offer by countersigning a copy of this Agreement, and any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time prior to the Company (or a Placement Agent on
behalf of the Company) sending (orally, in writing or by electronic mail) notice of its acceptance of such offer. An indication of interest will involve no obligation or commitment of any kind until this Agreement is accepted and countersigned by or
on behalf of the Company. 
 (g) Investor acknowledges that the Company has agreed to the Placement Agents in respect
of the sale of Shares to the Investor and that the Company has entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated December 6, 2006 (the “Placement Agreement”), with the Placement Agents. 
 (h) If the Investor is outside the United States, it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each foreign
jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers Shares or has in its possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases at its own expense. 
 (i) The Investor has the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Investor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on
the part of the Investor, and no further consent or action is required by the Investor, its Board of Directors or similar governing body or its stockholders, members or partners. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Investor and, when
delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity. 
 6. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, the Company will indemnify and hold the Investor and its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees and agents (each, an “Investor
Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of
investigation, that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur (the “Indemnified Liabilities”) as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this
Agreement (which shall survive the Closing and terminate on the first anniversary thereof). The Company shall not be liable to any Investor under this provision in respect of any Indemnified Liability if such liability arises out of any
misrepresentation by the Investor in Section 5 of this Agreement or actions taken by such Investor in violation or contravention of this Agreement. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason,
the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. If any action shall be brought against any Investor Party in respect of which indemnity
may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof 

  

 5 

 
with counsel of its own choosing. Any Investor Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense
thereof (it being understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (other than local counsel), reasonably approved by the Company), but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Investor Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to
employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Investor Party. The Company will not be
liable to any Investor Party under this Section 6 for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 7. Conditions. 
 (a) The Company’s obligation to issue and sell the Shares to the Investor shall be subject to: (i) the receipt by the Company of the purchase price for the Shares being purchased hereunder and (ii) the accuracy of the
representations and warranties made by the Investor and the fulfillment of those undertakings of the Investor to be fulfilled prior to the Closing. 
 (b) The Investor’s obligation to purchase the Shares will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Company and the fulfillment of those undertakings of the Company to be
fulfilled prior to the Closing, and to the condition that the Placement Agents shall not have: (a) terminated the Placement Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof or (b) determined that the conditions to the closing in the Placement
Agreement have not been satisfied. The Investor’s obligations are expressly not conditioned on the purchase by any or all of the other investors of any shares that they have agreed to purchase from the Company. 
 8. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of law. 
 9. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that both
parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed)
with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof. 
 10. The Investor acknowledges and agrees
that such Investor’s receipt of the Company’s counterpart to this Agreement, together with the Supplement (or the filing by the Company of an electronic version thereof with the Commission), shall constitute written confirmation of the
Company’s sale of Shares to the Investor. 
  

 6 

 11. In the event that the Placement Agreement is terminated by the Placement Agents pursuant to
the terms thereof, this Agreement shall terminate without any further action on the part of the parties hereto. 
 Please confirm that the foregoing
correctly sets forth the agreement between us by signing in the space provided below for that purpose.

 7Del Monte Foods Company Performance Accelerated Restricted Stock Agreement

 Exhibit 10.3 
 DEL MONTE FOODS COMPANY 
 PERFORMANCE ACCELERATED RESTRICTED STOCK 
 AGREEMENT 
 This agreement (the
“Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions under which the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), on behalf of Del Monte Foods Company (“Company”) has granted to you,
                     (the “Participant”), as of [DATE], and pursuant to the Del Monte Foods Company 2002 Stock Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”), units representing the Common Stock of the Company known as “Performance Accelerated Restricted Stock” (“PARS”), in order to encourage you to continue in the Company’s employment and contribute to its
growth and success. 
 1. Grant of PARS. The PARS grant consists of units representing
                     shares of the Common Stock of the Company, which the Company has issued to the Participant as of the date hereof as a
separate incentive in connection with his or her service to the Company and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for his or her services. The PARS also shall include any new, additional, or different securities or units representing such
securities the Participant may become entitled to receive with respect to such PARS by virtue of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Common Stock, or the
payment of a stock dividend (but only on shares of Common Stock), or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company, or any change in the capitalization of the Company
pursuant to Section 10(b) of the Plan, or by virtue of any Change of Control or other transaction pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Plan. The PARS shall be subject to the Restrictions pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.

 2. Participant’s Account; Certain Rights in Respect of PARS. 
 (a) The PARS granted to the Participant shall be entered into an account in the Participant’s name. This account shall be a bookkeeping entry only
and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the number of shares of Common Stock to be paid to or in respect of a Participant pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (b) During the period before the release of the Restrictions on the PARS as provided in Section 4, the Participant shall have no voting rights in
respect of the PARS. 
 (c) Dividend equivalents will be credited in the form of additional PARS to the Participant’s account, based on
the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date the dividend is issued. 
 3. Restrictions. Prior to their release from the
Restrictions as provided in Section 4, all PARS held for or in respect of the Participant, and the shares of Common Stock that such PARS represent, may not be assigned, transferred, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Participant.

 4. Release of PARS from Restrictions. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 4, the Restrictions shall cease to apply to the PARS granted under this Agreement
on [DATE], or upon the earlier occurrence of a Change of Control or the death or Disability of the Participant; provided, however, that release of the PARS from the Restrictions shall be accelerated as provided in paragraphs
(b) and (c) of this Section 4. Upon the release of the PARS from the Restrictions (except if receipt of the PARS is deferred as provided in Section 5), the Participant shall be paid the value of his or her account in the form of
Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued. If the calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued results in fractional shares, then the number of shares of Common Stock will be rounded up to the nearest
whole share of Common Stock. 
 (b) The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall define a peer group of companies (the “Comparator
Group”), either within or without the Company’s industry, against which the Company’s Total Stockholder Return (“TSR”) will be compared. The Comparator Group shall be identified as soon as practicable after the date of this
Agreement and may be changed by the Committee from time to time. Any adjustment to the TSR calculation to account for changes in the Comparator Group, including changes in the capitalization of Comparator Group companies (due to stock splits,
mergers, spin-offs, etc.), will be made at the sole discretion of the Committee. If the Company achieves the designated TSR targets, the Restrictions shall cease to apply to the PARS at the end of the last day of the applicable fiscal year of the
Company, according to the following schedule: 
 Accelerated Vesting Schedule for TSR Targets 
  

					
	 Target
	  	 Achievement Date
	  	 Percent of PARS Released
 from Restrictions as
 of Achievement
Date

	Company TSR 3 75th percentile of Comparator Group	  	Target must be achieved as of fiscal year end [YEAR]	  	100%
			
	Company TSR 3 55th percentile of Comparator Group	  	Target must be achieved as of fiscal year end [YEAR]	  	100%

 The Committee shall have sole discretion to determine whether the TSR targets have been achieved and whether the
Restrictions shall be released from the PARS. The Committee’s determinations pursuant to the exercise of discretion with respect to all matters described in this paragraph shall be final and binding on the Participant. 
 (c) In the case of the Participant’s Retirement prior to the time at which the PARS otherwise would be released from the Restrictions pursuant
to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 4, the Restrictions shall cease to apply on a pro-rata basis pursuant to the Company’s pro-rata vesting policy in effect at the time of Retirement. 
 (d) Upon the termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason other than the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, any PARS
that remain subject to the Restrictions at such time shall be forfeited by the Participant to the Company; provided that, for 

  

 2 

 
Participants covered under the Executive Severance Plan or who are parties to an employment agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, in the
case of termination of employment without Cause as defined therein (or, for executives with employment agreements, resignation for Good Reason as defined therein), the Restrictions shall cease to apply on a pro-rata basis pursuant to the
Company’s pro-rata vesting policy in effect at the time of such termination or resignation. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Section 4, if the PARS is subject to Code Section 409A and a Participant is a “specified employee”, as determined under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) with respect to the Company and its affiliates, and
the release of Restrictions is made on account of the Participant’s Retirement, Termination of Employment or Disability, the date of payment shall be delayed to a date that is six months after the date of such event. As permitted under Code
Section 409A, this delay shall not apply to any payment under a domestic relations order or for payment of taxes or such other event as may be provided in regulation and guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service. 
 5. Deferral. The Committee has the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether and in what manner Participants shall be permitted to elect
to defer the receipt of a distribution of Common Stock in respect of the PARS under a deferral plan of the Company, in which case the PARS would remain as stock equivalent units in the Participant’s account. Stock equivalent units held in the
Participant’s account pursuant to this Section 5 shall accrue dividend equivalents that will be credited in the form of additional stock equivalent units to the Participant’s account, based on the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on
the date the dividend is issued. At the end of the deferral period, all stock equivalent units will be converted and distributed to the Participant in the form of Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued. If the calculation
of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued results in fractional shares, then the number of shares of Common Stock will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. 
 6. Designation of Beneficiary. The Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom, along with all other grants or awards made to
the Participant under the Plan, the Common Stock that is distributed on account of the PARS that become vested at the Participant’s death shall be transferred. A Participant shall designate his or her beneficiary by executing the “2002
Stock Incentive Plan Beneficiary Designation and Spousal Consent Form” and returning it to the Corporate Secretary. Any form so submitted shall replace, in respect of all grants or awards made to the Participant under the Plan, any previous
version of the same form the Participant may have submitted to the Corporate Secretary. A Participant shall have the right to change his or her beneficiary from time to time by executing a subsequent “2002 Stock Incentive Plan Beneficiary
Designation and Spousal Consent Form” and otherwise complying with the terms of such form and the Committee’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. The Committee shall be entitled to rely on the last “2002 Stock
Incentive Plan Beneficiary Designation and Spousal Consent Form” submitted by the Participant, and accepted by the Corporate Secretary, prior to such Participant’s death. In the absence of such designation of beneficiary, Common Stock that
is distributed on account of PARS that become vested at the Participant’s death will be transferred to the Participant’s surviving spouse, or if none, to the Participant’s estate. If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper
beneficiary, the Committee shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to the Committee’s satisfaction. 
  

 3 

 7. Taxes. The Company may, in its discretion, make such provisions and take such steps as it may
deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all federal, state, local and other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of any PARS or the distribution of Common Stock on account of the vesting of any PARS,
including, but not limited to, withholding shares of Common Stock granted under this Agreement equal in value to such withholding taxes, deducting the amount of such withholding taxes from any other amount then or thereafter payable to the
Participant, or requiring the Participant or the beneficiary or legal representative of the Participant to pay in cash to the Company the amount required to be withheld or to execute such documents as the Company deems necessary or desirable to
enable it to satisfy its withholding obligations. In addition, if any PARS becomes subject to the FICA tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2) or income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 or the
corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local or foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA amount and to pay the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding of Code Section 3401 wages
and taxes prior to the release of the Restrictions, the Company may lift Restrictions and use the minimum PARS necessary to pay such taxes on behalf of the Participant. Further, in the event any PARS are subject to Code Section 409A and fail to
meet the requirements of that section, the Company may release Restrictions on PARS having a value not to exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and
the regulations thereunder. 
 8. No Special Rights; No Right to Future Awards. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon
any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his or her service with the Company, or any right to receive any other grant, bonus, or other award. 
 9. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company, in care of its Corporate Secretary, at One Market @ the Landmark, San
Francisco, CA 94105, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. 
 10. Other Benefits. The benefits
provided to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program of the Company. The Agreement shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify, or amend any
other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided. 
 11. Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all of the
terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. Capitalized terms and phrases used and not defined in this
Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. 
 12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws. 
  

 4 

 13. Committee Authority. The Committee shall have all discretion, power, and authority to
interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good
faith shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company, and all other interested persons, and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or
interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement. In the event that the PARS, or any deferral thereof under Section 5, becomes, or could become but for this Section 13, subject to Code Section 409A, the
Committee may unilaterally amend the PARS in any manner permitted under Code Section 409A to eliminate or reduce any excise tax, including any change to the form, timing and conditions of payment as permitted by law. 
 14. Captions. The captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for the interpretation or construction of this
Agreement. 
 15. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such
provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
 16. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, words and phrases bearing initial capital letters shall have the meanings assigned in the Plan, and the following words and phrases shall have the following
meanings unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context: 
 (a) “Restrictions” means those restrictions on the
PARS set forth in Section 3. 
 (b) “Total Stockholder Return” means, for any stock of a Comparator Group company, the
number determined by (1) subtracting the average of the closing prices or, for days on which no trading occurred, the last bid prices for each business day during a specified calendar month on the stock’s principal exchange or national
over-the-counter market quotation system (the “Average Closing Price”) from the sum of (x) the Average Closing Price of that stock for a subsequent specified calendar month (adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations, or similar
events) and (y) all dividends paid between the first day of the first specified month and the last day of the second specified calendar month and (2) dividing the result obtained in step (1) by the Average Closing Price for the first
specified calendar month.
