 (ii) (A) counsel for the Management Stockholder (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion or other advice, reasonably satisfactory in

WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY) AND ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

securities issued on Form S-8, S-4 or any successor or similar form), the Management Stockholder will not effect any public sale or distribution of any shares of the Stock not covered by such registration statement, including a sale pursuant to
Rule 144 or any swap or other economic arrangement that transfers to another Person any of the economic consequences of owning the Stock, from the time of the receipt of a notice from the Company that the Company has filed or imminently intends to
file such registration statement until (i) 180 days (or such shorter period as may be (A) consented to by the managing underwriter or underwriters or (B) applicable to the Investors, subject to the determination of the managing
underwriter or underwriters that providing such shorter period to the Management Stockholder pursuant this clause (B) would not adversely affect the success of such offering) in the case of the Initial Public Offering and
(ii) ninety (90) days (or in an underwritten offering such shorter period as may be (x) consented to by the managing underwriter or 

  
 4

 (f)
The Management Stockholder represents and warrants that (i) with respect to the Purchased Stock and Option Stock, the Management Stockholder has received and reviewed the available information relating to such Stock, including having received

 5 

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Section 3(a) shall terminate and
be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change in Control and (ii) such time following the consummation of an Initial Public Offering as the Investors and their Affiliates cease to own, directly or
indirectly, at least 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis (such earlier date, the “Lapse Date”). 
 (c) No transfer of any shares of Stock in violation hereof shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company and any such transfer shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

transfers contained in Section 3(a), whether such waiver is made prior to or after the transferee has effected or committed to effect the transfer, or has notified the Investors of such transfer or commitment to transfer. Any transfers made
pursuant to such waiver or which are later made subject to such a waiver shall, as of the date of the waiver and at all times thereafter, not be deemed to violate any applicable restrictions on transfers contained in this Agreement. 

4. The Management Stockholder’s Right to Resell Stock and Options to the Company. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, if the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company (or, if applicable, any of its
subsidiaries or Affiliates) terminates as a result of the death or Disability of the Management Stockholder, then the applicable Management Stockholder Entity, shall, for 365 days (the “Section 4(a) Put Period”) following the date
of such termination for death or Disability, have the right to: 
 (i) With respect to Stock, sell to the
Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share price equal to Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date (the
“Section 4 Repurchase Price”); and 
 (ii) With respect to any outstanding Rollover Options and
vested New Options, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the Rollover Options and vested New Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the
product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Section 4 Repurchase Price over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment. In the event the
Management Stockholder Entity elects to sell under this Section 4(a)(ii) and the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable Options granted to the Management Stockholder shall be automatically
terminated without any payment in respect thereof. In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, all unvested New Options shall be terminated and cancelled without any payment therefor as of the date of the Management Stockholder’s death or
Disability. 
 (b) In the event the applicable Management Stockholder Entities intend to exercise their rights pursuant to
Section 4(a) or 4(e), such Management Stockholder Entities shall send written notice to the Company, at any time during the applicable Put Period, of their intention to sell shares of Stock in exchange for the payment referred to in

  
 6 

 
Section 4(a)(i) or 4(e)(i) (as the case may be) and/or to sell such Options in exchange for the payment referred to in Section 4(a)(ii) or 4(e)(ii) (as the case may be) and shall
indicate the number of shares of Stock to be sold and the number of Options (based on the number of Exercisable Option Shares) to be sold with payment in respect thereof (the “Redemption Notice”). The completion of the purchases
shall take place at the principal office of the Company on no later than the twentieth business day (such date to be determined by the Company) after the giving of the Redemption Notice. The applicable Repurchase Price (including any payment with
respect to the Options as described above) shall be paid by delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, at the option of the Company, of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of the
applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) against delivery of certificates or other instruments
representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents cancelling the Options so terminated appropriately endorsed or executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any duly authorized representative. Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 4(b), in the event the Company receives a Redemption Notice at a time when the Fair Market Value is equal to or less than the applicable Option Exercise Price (either for Rollover Options or vested New Options), the Company
shall provide the Management Stockholder Entity that delivered the Redemption Notice to the Company with a statement of valuation and a request that the applicable Management Stockholder Entity resubmit the Redemption Notice in order to confirm its
desire to exercise its rights hereunder with respect to any Rollover Options or vested New Options, as applicable. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, if there exists and is continuing a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any loan, guarantee or other agreement under which
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has borrowed money or if the repurchase referred to in Section 4(a) or 4(e) (or Section 5 below, as the case may be) would result in a default or an event of default on the part of the Company
or any Affiliate of the Company under any such agreement or if a repurchase would reasonably be expected to be prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) or any federal or state securities laws or regulations (or if
the Company reincorporates in another state, the business corporation law of such state) (each such occurrence being an “Event”), the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any of the Stock or the Options from the applicable
Management Stockholder Entities to the extent it would cause any such default or would be so prohibited by the Event for cash but instead, with respect to such portion with respect to which cash settlement is prohibited, may satisfy its obligations
with respect to the Management Stockholder Entities’ exercise of their rights under Section 4(a) or 4(e) by delivering to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity a note with a principal amount equal to the amount payable under this
Section 4 that was not paid in cash, having terms acceptable to the Company’s (and its Affiliate’s, as applicable) lenders and permitted under the Company’s (and its Affiliate’s, as applicable) debt instruments but which in
any event (i) shall be mandatorily repayable promptly and to the extent that an Event no longer prohibits the payment of cash to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) shall bear interest at a
rate equal to the effective rate of interest in respect of Del Monte’s senior notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 4(d), if an Event exists and is continuing for one hundred and eighty days (180) days after the
date of the Redemption Notice, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to rescind any Redemption Notice with respect to that portion of the Stock and Options 

  
 7 

 
repurchased by the Company from the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Section 4 with the note described in the foregoing sentence, and such repurchase shall be rescinded;
provided that, upon such rescission, such note shall be immediately canceled without any action on the part of the Company or the Management Stockholder Entities, and notwithstanding anything herein or in such note to the contrary, the
Company shall have no obligation to pay any amounts of principal or interest thereunder. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, except for any payment obligation of the Company which has arisen prior to the occurrence of a Lapse Date, Section 4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the occurrence of such Lapse Date.

 (e) For the period from the Closing Date to the date that is six-months following the date that the Board, as constituted
immediately following the Closing Date, causes the Company to first hire a Chief Executive Officer of the Company (excluding any individual who holds such title in an interim or acting capacity only), if such Management Stockholder’s active
employment with the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) is terminated (i) by the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) without Cause (other than due to his or her death or Disability), or
(ii) by such Management Stockholder with Good Reason, the applicable Management Stockholder will, during such period, have the right to: 
 (i) With respect to any Purchased Stock, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of such Stock then held by the applicable Management
Stockholder Entities at a per share price equal to the Closing Date Purchase Price (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof); and 
 (ii) With respect to any outstanding Rollover Options, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the Rollover Options then held by the applicable
Management Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the product of (A) $3.75 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof) and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Rollover Options at such time (any
such product, the “Applicable Rollover Option Spread”); and 
 (iii) With respect to any shares of Net
Settled Stock (as such term is defined in Section 5(j) below, but regardless of whether the provisions of Section 5(j) apply) acquired by the Management Stockholder upon the exercise of any Rollover Option (“Net Settled Rollover
Option Stock”), sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of such Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share price equal to the quotient of
(A) the Management Stockholder’s Aggregate Closing Date Spread, divided by (B) the number of shares of such Net Settled Rollover Option Stock. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Aggregate Closing Date Spread”
shall mean the product of (x) $3.75 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6(a)) and (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Management Stockholder’s Rollover Option that was exercised for such Net
Settled Rollover Option Stock. 

  
 8 

 Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, for any purchase that occurs pursuant to this Section 4(e) after
December 31, 2011, the Company shall be required to pay as the purchase price for (I) the Purchased Stock and Net Settled Rollover Option Stock, the Section 4 Repurchase Price and (II) the Rollover Options, the purchase price for such
Options as calculated under Section 4(a)(ii) above. 
 5. The Company’s Option to Purchase Stock and Options of the
Management Stockholder Upon Certain Terminations of Employment. 
 (a) Termination for Cause by the Company and Breach of
Transfer Restrictions. If, (i) the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) is terminated by the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) for
Cause or (ii) the Management Stockholder Entities effect a transfer of Stock (or Options) that is prohibited under this Agreement (or the Stock Option Agreements, as applicable), after notice from the Company of such impermissible transfer and
a reasonable opportunity to cure such transfer which is not so cured (each event described above, a “Section 5(a) Call Event”), then: 
 (i) With respect to any Purchased Stock, the Company may purchase, on one occasion, all or any portion of the shares of such Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per
share purchase price equal to the lesser of (x) the Base Price and (y) the Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date; and 
 (ii) With respect to any shares of Net Settled Rollover Option Stock, the Company may purchase, on one occasion, all or any portion of the shares of such Stock then held by the applicable Management
Stockholder Entities at a per share price equal to the quotient of (A) the Management Stockholder’s Aggregate Closing Date Spread, divided by (B) the number of shares of such Net Settled Rollover Option Stock; and 

(iii) With respect to any outstanding Rollover Options, the Company may purchase, on one occasion, all or any portion of
the Rollover Options held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the Applicable Rollover Option Spread (solely relating to the Rollover Options being purchased by the Company hereunder), which Rollover Options shall
be terminated in exchange for such payment; and 
 (iv) With respect to all New Options, all outstanding New
Options (whether vested or unvested) shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof upon the occurrence of the Section 6(a) Call Event. 
 (b) Termination without Cause by the Company and Termination by the Management Stockholder with Good Reason. If the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (or, if
applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) is terminated (i) by the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) without Cause (other than due to his or her death or Disability) or (ii) by the Management Stockholder with
Good Reason (each, a “Section 5(b) Call Event”) then: 
 (i) With respect to Stock, the
Company may purchase all or any portion of the shares of such Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities 

  
 9 

 
at a per share purchase price equal to Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date; 
 (ii) With respect to any outstanding Rollover Options and vested New Options, the Company may purchase, on one occasion, all or any portion of the Rollover Options and the exercisable vested New Options
held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of
Exercisable Option Shares (solely relating to Rollover Options and the vested New Options being purchased by the Company hereunder), which Rollover Options and vested New Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment. In the event the
Company elects to repurchase under this Section 5(b)(ii) and the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding Rollover Options and exercisable vested New Options shall be automatically terminated without any
payment in respect thereof; and 
 (iii) With respect to unvested New Options, all outstanding unvested New
Options shall automatically be terminated without any payment in respect thereof. 
 (c) Termination Due to Death or
Disability. If the Management Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) is terminated due to his or her death or Disability (each, a “Section 5(c) Call Event”)
then: 
 (i) With respect to any Stock acquired by the Management Stockholder through the exercise of vested New
Options, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the shares of such Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share purchase price equal to Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date; 

(ii) With respect to any outstanding New Options, the Company may purchase, on one occasion, all or any portion of the
exercisable vested New Options held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date over the Option Exercise Price and
(y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares (solely relating to the vested New Options being purchased by the Company hereunder), which vested New Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment. In the event the Company elects to
repurchase under this Section 5(c)(ii) and the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable vested New Options shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof; and 

(iii) With respect to unvested New Options, all outstanding unvested New Options shall automatically be terminated without
any payment in respect thereof. 
 (iv) For the avoidance of doubt, at no time shall the Company have the right,
due to the Management Stockholder’s death or Disability, to cause the Management Stockholder Entities without their consent to sell to the Company any Purchased Stock for which the Management Stockholder paid the Closing Date Purchase Price,
Rollover Options or Option Stock acquired upon exercise of the Rollover Options. 

  
 10 

 (d) Termination by the Management Stockholder Without Good Reason. If the Management
Stockholder’s active employment with the Company (or, if applicable, its subsidiaries or Affiliates) is terminated by the Management Stockholder without Good Reason (excluding due to his or her death or Disability) (a “Section 5(d)
Call Event”) then: 
 (i) Within the first five years following the Closing Date: 

(I) with respect to any Purchased Stock for which the Management Stockholder paid the Closing Date Purchase Price, and up to
seventy-five percent (75%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock that were, immediately following the Merger, subject to the Rollover Options (whether or not such shares are subject to Rollover Options when the Management
Stockholder’s employment is terminated without Good Reason or are shares that have been acquired by the Management Stockholder upon exercise of the Rollover Options), and in all cases that are held by the Management Stockholder Entities at the
date of such termination of employment, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the shares of such Stock and such Rollover Options, as applicable, then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities as follows: (A) for such

 (II) With respect to any Option Stock acquired upon exercise of vested New Options and vested New Options, in all cases that are held by the Management Stockholder Entities at the date of such termination

 (e) With
respect to unvested New Options, all outstanding unvested New Options shall automatically be terminated without any payment in respect thereof. 
 (f) Call Notice. The Company shall have a period (the “Call Period”) of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of any Call Event (or, if later, with respect to a
Section 5(a) Call Event, the date after discovery of, and the applicable cure period for, an impermissible transfer constituting a Section 5(a) Call Event) in which to give notice in writing to the Management Stockholder of its election to
exercise its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 5 (“Repurchase Notice”); provided, however, that upon the occurrence of a Section 5(d) Call Event, the Company shall advise the Management Stockholder
Entities as to whether it intends to deliver a Redemption Notice, whether the purchase price will be less than the Fair Market Value, and in respect of which Options or Stock, within thirty (30) days following the date of such Call Event.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to extend the Call Period to ensure that the Management Stockholder Entities are able to comply with the six month stock ownership holding period identified in Section 5(g) below,
but which shall in no event extend beyond thirty (30) days after the date that such six month holding period expires. The completion of the purchases pursuant to the foregoing shall take place at the principal office of the Company no later
than the fifteenth business day after the giving of the Repurchase Notice. The applicable Repurchase Price (including any payment with respect to the Options as described in this Section 5) shall be paid by delivery to the applicable Management
Stockholder Entities of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder
Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents canceling the Options so

  
 13 

 
terminated, appropriately endorsed or executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any duly authorized representative. 

(g) Use of Note to Satisfy Call Payment; Termination of Call Right. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5 to
the contrary, if there exists and is continuing any Event, the Company will, to the extent it has exercised its rights to purchase Stock or Options pursuant to this Section 5, in order to complete the purchase of any Stock or Options pursuant
to this Section 5, deliver to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (i) a cash payment for any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5 that would not cause an Event and (ii) a note having the same terms as that
provided in Section 4(c) above with a principal amount equal to the amount payable but not paid in cash pursuant to this Section 5 due to the Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event exists and is continuing for one hundred and
eighty days (180) days from the date of the Call Event, the proposed repurchase of that portion of the Stock and Options to be repurchased by the Company from the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Section 5 with the note
described in the foregoing sentence shall immediately terminate and the Company shall have no further rights or obligations under this Section 5. 
 (h) Section 5(b) Call Event True-Up Payment. In addition, in the event of a Without Cause Termination of the Management Stockholder within the three months immediately preceding a Change in
Control transaction whereby the Company exercises its right to purchase such Management Stockholder’s shares of Common Stock and Option, and the per share consideration paid for one share of Common Stock in such transaction (the “CIC
Price”) is greater than the Fair Market Value paid upon the Company’s exercise of its right to purchase such Stock and Options (the “Call FMV”), then within ten (10) business days following the consummation of
such Change in Control transaction, the Company shall pay the terminated Management Stockholder an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess of the CIC Price over the Call FMV and (y) the aggregate of the number of shares of Common
Stock, and the number of shares subject to the Rollover Options and vested New Options, in each case that were purchased by the Company in connection with its exercise of its rights under Section 5(b) of this Agreement. 

(i) Expiration of this Section 5. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except for any payment
obligation of the Company which has arisen prior to the occurrence of a Lapse Date, this Section 5 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the occurrence of such Lapse Date. 

(j) Effect of Accounting Principles. Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 4 or 5 to the contrary, in the event that
it is determined by the Board, after consultation with the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, that any of the provisions of either of Section 4 or 5 would result in any of the Options being classified as a liability as contemplated by
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Section 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (FASB ASC 718), including any amendments and interpretations thereto, then the Company shall be required to
advise the Management Stockholder Entities of this determination (x) in order to allow the Management Stockholder Entities to exercise their rights under Section 4 and (y) in order for the Company to exercise its rights under
Section 5 (but only to the extent that the Company notifies the Management Stockholder Entities of its intent to exercise its rights under Section 5), and then in any such case the following terms shall apply: 

(i) Any shares of Stock that are to be purchased by the Company pursuant

  
 14 

 
to Section 4 or 5, as applicable, may only be so purchased if and when such shares have been held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for at least six months; and 

(ii) With respect to any exercisable Options, upon the occurrence of the applicable event identified in Section 4
giving rise to the Management Stockholder’s rights thereunder or a Call Event, the Management Stockholder Entities may be required by the Company to elect, in accordance with the terms of the relevant Stock Option Agreement, to receive from the
Company, on one occasion, in exchange for all of the exercisable Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, if any, a number of shares of Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the product of (A) the excess, if any,
of the Fair Market Value over the Option Exercise Price and (B) the number of shares then acquirable on exercise, divided by (y) the Fair Market Value, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment of shares
of Stock (any such shares of Stock so acquired, the “Net Settled Stock”). (In the event the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable Options shall be automatically terminated without
any payment in respect thereof.) Upon the occurrence of such net settlement of all exercisable Options, the Put Period or the Call Period, as applicable, shall be deemed to be the period that is thirty (30) days following the date that is six
(6) months after the receipt by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of the Net Settled Stock, during which time the Company may, on delivery of Repurchase Notice (or upon delivery of a Redemption Notice), purchase (or be required to
purchase in the case of Section 4) all (in the case of a purchase pursuant to Section 4) or all or any portion (in the case of a purchase pursuant to Section 5) of the Net Settled Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder
Entities, at a per share price equal to the applicable Repurchase Price for Option Stock identified in Section 4 or Section 5, as applicable. 
 6. Adjustment of Repurchase Price; Definitions.

Repurchase Price. In determining the applicable repurchase price of the Stock and Options, as provided for in Sections 4 and 5, above, appropriate adjustments shall be made for any stock dividends, splits, combinations, recapitalizations or

information and discloses only that portion of the information as is, based on the advice of the disclosing party’s counsel, legally required, or (ii) it becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or
failure to safeguard in violation of Section 22.

the time of termination of employment between the Management Stockholder and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates; or, if there is no such employment agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, with respect to the Management
Stockholder: (i) a material adverse change in Management Stockholder’s position causing it to be of materially less stature, responsibility, or authority without Management Stockholder’s written consent, and such a materially adverse

written consent, in Management Stockholder’s base salary or the target bonus amount Management Stockholder is eligible to earn under the Annual Incentive Plan (or successor plan thereto), provided, however, that nothing herein shall be
construed to guarantee the Management Stockholder’s bonus for any year if the applicable performance targets are not met; and provided further that it shall not constitute Good Reason hereunder if the Company makes an appropriate pro rata
adjustment to the applicable bonus and targets under the Annual Incentive Plan or any successor plan in the event of a change in the Company’s fiscal year. Unless Management Stockholder provides written notification of an event described in

purchased or held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be “Registrable Securities” as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement. Effective after the occurrence of an Initial
Public Offering, if any of the Investors are selling stock in a circumstance in which the Management Stockholder would not have Piggyback Registration Rights (other than in connection with a Transfer Restriction Waiver), the restrictions on transfer
contained in Section 3(a) shall be waived with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to such Piggyback Registration Rights if such sale by the Investors had resulted in the Management Stockholder having
Piggyback Registration Rights. 
 (b) In the event of a sale of Common Stock by any of the Investors in accordance with the
terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, unless the Board shall have determined to effect a Transfer Restriction Waiver in which case the provisions of Section 8(h) shall apply, the Company will promptly notify each Management Stockholder in
writing (a “Piggyback Notice”) of any proposed registration (a “Proposed Registration”), which Piggyback Notice shall include: the principal terms and conditions of the proposed registration, including (i) the
number of the shares of Common Stock to be sold, (ii) the fraction expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the holders of Registrable Securities by the total number of shares held by
the holders of Registrable Securities selling the shares of Common Stock, (iii) the proposed per share purchase price (or an estimate thereof), and (iv) the proposed date of sale. If within fifteen (15) days of the receipt by the
Management Stockholder of such Piggyback Notice, the Company receives from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of the Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder, as the case may be, a written request (a “Request”)
to register shares of Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (which Request will be irrevocable unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management Stockholder and the Company), shares of Stock will be so
registered as provided in this Section 8; provided, however, that for each such registration statement only one Request, which shall be executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, may be submitted for all
Registrable Securities held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities. 
 (c) The maximum number of shares of Stock
which will be registered pursuant to a Request will be the lower of (i) the number of shares of Stock then held by the Management Stockholder Entities, including all shares of Stock which the Management

  
 22 

 
Stockholder Entities are then entitled to acquire under an unexercised Option to the extent then exercisable, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of
Stock being sold by holders of Registrable Securities and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock owned by the holders of Registrable Securities or (ii) the maximum number of shares of Stock which the Company can
register in connection with such Request in the Proposed Registration without adverse effect on the offering in the view of the managing underwriters (reduced pro rata as more fully described in subsection (d) of this Section 8.

 (d) If a Proposed Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing
that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in the Proposed Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, so as to be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the
shares of Stock offered in such Public Offering as contemplated by the Company, then, unless the managing underwriter advises that marketing factors require a different allocation, the Company will include in the Proposed Registration
(i) first, 100% of the shares of Stock the Company proposes to sell and (ii) second, to the extent of the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be
sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of shares of Stock which the selling holders of Registrable Securities, the Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders and any other Persons who are entitled to
piggyback or incidental registration rights in respect of Stock (together, the “Holders”) have requested to be included in the Proposed Registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders on the basis of
the relative number of shares of Stock then held by each such Holder (including upon exercise of all exercisable Options) (provided that any shares thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request will be
reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner). 
 (e) Upon delivering a Request a Management Stockholder or
other Management Stockholder having Piggyback Registration Rights pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 8 will, if requested by the Company, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney having customary terms and in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the shares of Stock to be registered pursuant to this Section 8 (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney
will provide, among other things, that the Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder, as the case may be, will deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates (to the
extent applicable) representing such shares of Stock (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact as the
Management Stockholder’s or Management Stockholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Management Stockholder’s or Management Stockholder’s
behalf with respect to the matters specified therein. 
 (f) The Management Stockholder agrees that he or she will execute such
other reasonable customary agreements as the Company may reasonably request to further evidence the provisions of this Section 8, including reasonable and customary lock-up agreements. 

(g) Notwithstanding Section 11(l) of the Registration Rights Agreement, this Section 8 will terminate on the earlier of
(i) the occurrence of a Change in Control and 

  
 23 

 
(ii) with respect to each Management Stockholder, on date on which such Management Stockholder ceases to own any Registrable Securities. 

(h) If the Board shall have elected to effect the Transfer Restriction Waiver in lieu of Piggyback Registration Rights in accordance with
Section 8(a), the Company will notify each Management Stockholder on or promptly following the completion of the Public Offering giving rise to the Transfer Restriction Waiver which notice shall include: (A) the number of shares of Common
Stock sold by the Investors in such Public Offering and (B) the number of shares of Stock to which the waiver of transfer restrictions shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions in Section 5 of the Registration Rights
Agreement will apply to such shares of Stock notwithstanding the Transfer Restriction Waiver. 
 9. Additional Rights of
Management Stockholders. Prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, if the Company issues Common Stock in a transaction in which the Investors would be entitled to preemptive rights and within 90 days following the consummation of
such issuance the Management Stockholders so request, the Board, in its sole discretion, will consider in good faith offering the Management Stockholders the opportunity to purchase additional shares of Common Stock. 

10. Rights to Negotiate Repurchase Price. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the Company from
purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring for value shares of Stock or Options from the Management Stockholder, at any time, upon such terms and conditions, and for such price, as may be mutually agreed upon in writing between the Parties,
whether or not at the time of such purchase, redemption or acquisition circumstances exist which specifically grant the Company the right to purchase, or the Management Stockholder the right to sell, shares of Stock or any Options under the terms of
this Agreement; provided that no such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be consummated, and no agreement with respect to any such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be entered into, without the prior approval of the Board.

 11. Notice of Change of Beneficiary. Immediately prior to any transfer of Stock to a Management Stockholder’s
Trust, the Management Stockholder shall provide the Company with a copy of the instruments creating the Management Stockholder’s Trust and with the identity of the beneficiaries of the Management Stockholder’s Trust. The Management
Stockholder shall notify the Company as soon as practicable prior to any change in the identity of any beneficiary of the Management Stockholder’s Trust. 
 12. Recapitalizations, etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to the Stock or the Options, to any and all shares of capital stock of the
Company or any capital stock, partnership units or any other security evidencing ownership interests in any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in
exchange for, or substitution of the Stock or the Options by reason of any stock dividend, split, reverse split, combination, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise, and in the event of any of the
foregoing occurrences, all references to shares of Common Stock, Option Exercise Prices and any other per share purchase price of Common Stock contained herein shall refer to such shares and prices as the same may be adjusted in connection with any
of the foregoing. 

  
 24 

 13. Management Stockholder’s Employment by the Company. Nothing contained in
this Agreement (a) obligates the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to employ the Management Stockholder in any capacity whatsoever or (b) prohibits or restricts the Company (or any such subsidiary) from terminating the employment of
the Management Stockholder at any time or for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, and the Management Stockholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any other Person has made any representations or promises
whatsoever to the Management Stockholder concerning the Management Stockholder’s employment or continued employment by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. 
 14. Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and accrue to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
In the case of a transferee permitted under Section 2(a) or Section 3(a) (other than clauses (iii), (iv) or (vi) thereof) hereof, such transferee shall be deemed the Management Stockholder hereunder; provided,
however, that no transferee (including without limitation, transferees referred to in Section 2(a) or Section 3(a) hereof) shall derive any rights under this Agreement unless and until such transferee has delivered to the Company a
valid undertaking and becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder or with respect hereto. 

15. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Company at any time upon notice to the Management Stockholder thereof;
provided that any amendment (i) that materially disadvantages the Management Stockholder shall not be effective unless and until the Management Stockholder has consented thereto in writing and (ii) that disadvantages the Management
Stockholder in more than a de minimis way but less than a material way shall require the consent of a majority of the members of Del Monte’s Executive Team, consisting of each officer with the title of Senior Vice President or higher at the
time of such amendment. 
 16. Closing. Except as otherwise provided herein, the closing of each purchase and sale of
shares of Stock pursuant to this Agreement shall take place at the principal office of the Company on the tenth business day following delivery of the notice by either Party to the other of its exercise of the right to purchase or sell such Stock
hereunder. 
 17. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution; Legal Fees. 

(a) The laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and to be performed entirely in such state shall govern the
interpretation, validity and performance of the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) In the event of any controversy among the
parties hereto arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement which cannot be settled amicably by the parties, such controversy shall be treated as if it were a controversy under such Management Stockholder’s employment agreement, if such
Management Stockholder’s employment agreement became effective on the Closing Date, but if such Management Stockholder is not a party to any such employment agreement at the time of such dispute, such controversy which cannot be settled
amicably by the parties shall be finally, exclusively and conclusively settled by mandatory arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the American Arbitration Association rules, by a single independent arbitrator. Such arbitration
process shall take place in San Francisco, California. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all 

  
 25 

 
parties hereto and shall be rendered pursuant to a written decision, which contains a detailed recital of the arbitrator’s reasoning. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear its own legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with such arbitration, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Management Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company, its subsidiaries, the Investors
and any of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to injunctive or other relief in order to enforce the covenant not to solicit and/or confidentiality covenants as set forth in Section 22(a) of this Agreement. 

(d) In the event of any arbitration or other disputes with regard to this Agreement or any other document or agreement referred to
herein, each Party shall pay its own legal fees and expenses, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator. 
 18.
Assignability of Certain Rights by the Company. The Company shall have the right to assign any or all of its rights or obligations to purchase shares of Stock pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 hereof; provided, however, that no
such assignment shall relieve the Company from its obligations thereunder. 
 19. Miscellaneous. 

(a) In this Agreement all references to “dollars” or “$” are to United States dollars and the masculine pronoun shall
include the feminine and neuter, and the singular the plural, where the context so indicates. 
 (b) If any provision of this
Agreement shall be declared illegal, void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions shall not be affected, but shall remain in full force and effect. 

20. Withholding. The Company or its subsidiaries shall have the right to deduct from any cash payment made under this Agreement to
the applicable Management Stockholder Entities any federal, state or local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment, if applicable. 
 21. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing. Any notice or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly given (i) upon electronic
confirmation of facsimile, (ii) one business day following the date sent when sent by overnight delivery and (iii) five (5) business days following the date mailed when mailed by registered or certified mail return receipt requested

 22. Confidential Information; Covenant Not to Solicit. 

(a) In consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement with the Management Stockholder, the Management Stockholder hereby
covenants and agrees he or she shall not: 
 (i) at any time during or after the Management
Stockholder’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, disclose any Confidential Information or proprietary information pertaining to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the Investors or any of their respective
Affiliates, except when required by law or while employed by the Company for the benefit of the Company; 

  
 27 

 (ii) at any time during the Management Stockholder’s employment
with the Company or its subsidiaries, Management Stockholder covenants (a) not to compete with the Company, the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates and (b) not to solicit or hire for the benefit of anyone, other than the
Company, the Investors and their respective Affiliates, any Person who is, or was during the last twelve (12) months preceding the time of the solicitation or hiring, employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates. 

(iii) for the one year period following any termination of the Management Stockholder’s employment with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Management Stockholder shall be bound by a covenant not to solicit the employment of any Person who is, or was during the twelve (12) months preceding the time of the solicitation, employed by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries; 
 (b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, if at any time a court holds that the restrictions
stated in such clause (a) are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographic area determined to be reasonable under such circumstances by such
court will be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because the Management Stockholder’s services are unique and because the Management Stockholder has had access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money
damages will be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor,
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without the posting of a bond or other security). 

(c) In the event that the Management Stockholder breaches any of the provisions of Section 22(a), in addition to all other remedies
that may be available to the Company, the Management Stockholder’s equity shall be treated in the same manner as if the Management Stockholder’s employment had been terminated for Cause by the Company. 

23. Effectiveness. Except for Sections 1, 2(a), 2(f), 2(g), 3, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20 and 22 and this Section 24, which shall
become effective as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parties, this Agreement shall become effective upon the Effective Time and prior thereto shall be of no force or effect. If the Merger Agreement shall be terminated in
accordance with its terms prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no force or effect.

 Exhibit 10.39 
 FORM OF OPTION ROLLOVER AGREEMENT 
 OPTION ROLLOVER AGREEMENT dated as of
the date indicated on the Del Monte Foods Investment Election Worksheet executed by the individual listed thereon (the “Management Stockholder”) on or before February 11, 2011, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
A (the “Investment Election Worksheet”), (this “Agreement”) between Blue Acquisition Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Management Stockholder. 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 24, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), by
and among Del Monte Foods Company, a Delaware corporation (“Del Monte”), the Company and Blue Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will on the date of closing of the Merger (as defined herein) pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Closing Date”) merge with and into the Company (the
“Merger”), with Del Monte surviving the Merger, with each stockholder of Del Monte common stock as in effect immediately prior to the Merger (such stock, “Del Monte Stock”) receiving $19.00 per share upon
consummation of the Merger; 
 WHEREAS, the Management Stockholder currently holds options to purchase shares of Del Monte Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Del Monte Options”), all of which shall become fully vested on the consummation of the Merger, pursuant to one or more of the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan
(“1997 Employee Plan”), the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (“1998 Plan”), and the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (“2002 Plan”), as applicable, pursuant to which the Del Monte Options were originally granted
(collectively, the “Del Monte Plans”); 
 WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, the Company has selected the
Management Stockholder as a person eligible to make an investment in shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) through, among other methods, (i) the exchange of all or a portion of his or
her Del Monte Options for fully-exercisable options to purchase shares of Common Stock after the Merger (the “Rollover Options”), subject to such changes in the terms of such Del Monte Options as they currently exist under the Del
Monte Plans and related stock option agreement (the “Del Monte Plan Terms”) as agreed between the Company and the Management Stockholder, and as otherwise adjusted, in each case pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) to receive
in consideration of such exchange of Del Monte Options for Rollover Options, new options to purchase shares of Common Stock as set forth below; and 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the covenants and promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties hereto agree, subject to the Company’s acceptance of the Management Stockholder’s execution of this Agreement, to the following: 

 1. Rollover. The Management Stockholder hereby agrees to exchange the Del Monte
Options (or portions thereof) as set forth on the Investment Election Worksheet for Rollover Options, and the Company hereby agrees to provide such resulting Rollover Options, with such exchange to be effected as of the Closing Date. As a condition
to such exchange, the Management Stockholder hereby agrees to execute, effective as of the Closing Date, the Management Stockholder’s Agreement, in the form attached as Exhibit B, and the Sale Participation Agreement, in the form
attached as Exhibit C, and the Company agrees to countersign, and where applicable, cause Blue Holdings I, L.P. (the “Parent”) to countersign, each such agreement. 

2. New Options. In addition to the Rollover Options, the Company hereby agrees to grant to the Management Stockholder, as soon as
practicable after the Closing Date, an option (the “New Option”) to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $5.00, for such number of shares as is equal to the sum of (i) the Minimum Rollover Amount,
as set forth on Exhibit D, divided by $5.00, and (ii) a number that is within the range set forth on Exhibit D, such number to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in consultation with the Chief Executive
Officer, subject to the Management Stockholder remaining employed with the Company at the time of each such grant. The New Option shall be granted pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan in the form attached as Exhibit E (the
“2011 Plan”), and evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit F. 
 3.
Rollover Option Terms. The Management Stockholder shall hold the Rollover Options pursuant to the Del Monte Plan Terms, subject to the following adjustments and amendments thereto, to be effective immediately upon the Effective Time (as
defined in the Merger Agreement): 
 (a) The exercise price per share of the Common Stock underlying the Rollover Options will
be $1.25. 
 (b) The number of shares of Common Stock underlying each Rollover Option will be equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (x) the excess, if any, of (A) the product of $19.00 and the number of shares of Del Monte Common Stock underlying each Del Monte Option (or portion thereof ) to be exchanged for a Rollover Option hereunder immediately prior to
this adjustment, over (B) the aggregate exercises price of such Del Monte Option (or portion thereof) immediately prior to this adjustment, by (y) $3.75, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The number of shares of Common Stock that
are subject to the Rollover Options, effective immediately following the exchange referenced herein, are set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto. 
 (c) The Rollover Options shall be fully and immediately vested and exercisable upon the Effective Time and shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of the following: 

(i) the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of the Del Monte Option that is being exchanged for the applicable Rollover
Option (as such expiration date is identified on Exhibit D attached hereto) if the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company and any of its subsidiaries is terminated (A) by reason of the Management

  
 2 

 
Stockholder’s death, Disability, resignation by the Management Stockholder for Good Reason (each of the foregoing terms as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) or due to
his or her “Retirement” (such term defined as the Management Stockholder’s resignation of employment with the Company and its subsidiaries on or after the Management Stockholder’s attainment of age fifty-five (55) and
completion of ten (10) or more years of continuous employment with the Company and its subsidiaries, including employment prior to the Effective Time with Del Monte or its subsidiares) or (B) by the Company and its subsidiaries without
Cause (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement); or 
 (ii) 90 days following the date of the
termination of the Management Stockholder’s employment by the Company and all of its subsidiaries by the Management Stockholder without Good Reason (except due to death, Disability or Retirement (as such term is defined above)); or 

(iii) the date that is thirty (30) days following notice by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the Management
Stockholder of his or her termination for Cause by the Company and its subsidiaries; or 
 (iv) the tenth
anniversary of the date of grant of the Del Monte Option that is being exchanged for the applicable Rollover Option (such tenth anniversary, the “Option Expiration Date”), so long as the Management Stockholder remains employed with
the Company or any subsidiary through such date; or 
 (v) the date the Rollover Option is terminated pursuant to
Section 5 of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement; or 
 (vi) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing,
at the discretion of the Company, if the committee under the 2011 Plan determines that all options to purchase Common Stock granted under the 2011 Plan are to be cancelled pursuant to Section 9 of the 2011 Plan, in which case all then
outstanding Rollover Options shall be terminated in the same manner and on the same terms as such options pursuant to Section 9 of the 2011 Plan, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Management Stockholder and the Company. 

(d) Unless otherwise provided in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement or the Sale Participation Agreement, in the event that the
Management Stockholder elects to exercise any outstanding Rollover Options, the payment of the exercise price may be paid upon exercise of such Rollover Options pursuant to any of the following methods: (A) in cash directly by the Management
Stockholder (but not, unless and until further written notice by the Company to the Management Stockholder is provided, pursuant to any cashless exercise program by which the Management Stockholder might otherwise have been permitted to sell shares
of stock to pay such exercise price or taxes under the Del Monte Plan Terms prior to the Merger), (B) through the use of shares of Common Stock (any such shares valued based on their Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in the Management
Stockholder’s Agreement) on the date of exercise) that the Management Stockholder has held for at least six months (or such shorter or longer period of time as may be required by the Company’s accountants to avoid the Rollover Option being

  
 3 

 
classified as a liability under FASB ASC 718, as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) having an aggregate Fair Market Value, or (C) by indication that the Management
Stockholder elects to have the Company withhold a number of shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, in each such case equal to the amount of the aggregate exercise price due upon the exercise of such Rollover Options in full satisfaction of
payment of such exercise price, from the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to the Management Stockholder upon exercise of such Rollover Options if such exercise price had been paid in cash directly by the Management
Stockholder to the Company at such time. 
 (e) Unless otherwise provided in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement or the
Sale Participation Agreement, in the event that the Management Stockholder elects to exercise any outstanding Rollover Options, the payment of any withholding taxes due in connection with the exercise of such Rollover Options shall only be made by
the Management Stockholder in cash directly by the Management Stockholder (but not, unless and until further written notice by the Company to the Management Stockholder is provided, pursuant to any cashless exercise program by which the Management
Stockholder might otherwise have been permitted to sell shares of stock to pay such exercise price or taxes under the Del Monte Plan Terms prior to the Merger); provided, however, that if the Management Stockholder holds at any time
any Rollover Options that are within thirty (30) days of expiring upon the Option Expiration Date (whether as a result of the Management Stockholder’s continuous employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or the termination of
his or her employment with the Company and its subsidiaries by reason of the Management Stockholder’s death, Disability, resignation by the Management Stockholder for Good Reason or due to his or her Retirement or by the Company and its
subsidiaries without Cause), then payment of any minimum withholding taxes due in connection with the exercise of any outstanding Rollover Options may be made through (A) the use of shares of Common Stock (any such shares valued based on their
Fair Market Value on the date of exercise) that the Management Stockholder has held for at least six months (or such shorter or longer period of time as may be required by the Company’s accountants to avoid the Rollover Option being classified
as a liability under FASB ASC 718, as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) having an aggregate Fair Market Value, or (B) by indication that the Management Stockholder elects to have the Company withhold a number of shares
having an aggregate Fair Market Value, in each such case equal to the amount of the minimum withholding taxes due upon the exercise of such Rollover Options, in full satisfaction of payment of such minimum withholding taxes due, from the number of
shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to the Management Stockholder upon exercise of such Rollover Options if such minimum withholding taxes had been paid in cash directly by the Management Stockholder to the Company at such time.

 (f) The Rollover Options shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8 and 9 of the 2011 Plan, and any similar
provisions contained in the Del Monte Plans shall cease to apply. 
 4. Management Stockholder Representations.

 (a) The Management Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the Management Stockholder is the sole (or
joint with his or her spouse) record and beneficial owner of the Del Monte Options to be converted into Rollover Options and that 

  
 4 

 
the Management Stockholder has not sold, transferred, conveyed, pledged or hypothecated any interest in such Del Monte Options, and the Management Stockholder agrees not to take any action that
would cause the foregoing representations and warranties not to be true as of the effective time of the Merger.
