Dear Sirs

 

COMBINATION OF CHIQUITA BRANDS INTERNATIONAL INC. AND FYFFES
PLC

 

We refer to the irrevocable undertaking
dated 9 March 2014 given by us to Chiquita and ChiquitaFyffes in connection with the proposed combination of Chiquita and Fyffes
plc ("Fyffes") (the "Original Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking"). We refer also to the press
announcement which, we understand, Chiquita and Fyffes propose to issue on or before 26 September 2014 announcing revised terms
of the Scheme and the Transaction, on the terms and subject to the conditions to be set out in that announcement, and which will
include a recommendation of the Fyffes Board that Fyffes Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme as so revised (the "Revised
Transaction Announcement").

 

We each hereby severally confirm and repeat
(subject to paragraphs 1.1(a) to 1.1(d) below) to Chiquita and ChiquitaFyffes the representations, warranties, undertakings and
acknowledgements given by us in the Original Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking as of the date of this undertaking but so that:

 

		(a)	the expressions "Scheme"
                                         and "Transaction" as used in the Original Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking
                                         and in this undertaking shall be taken to refer to the Scheme or (as the case may be)
                                         the Transaction as shall be varied in accordance with the revised terms and conditions
                                         specified in the Revised Transaction Announcement;

 

		(b)	the expression "Announcement"
                                         as used in the Original Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking shall be taken to refer to
                                         the Announcement as revised by the Revised Transaction Announcement;

 

		(c)	the phrase "and against any resolution or proposal to adjourn the Court Meeting or the
EGM (unless otherwise directed by Chiquita" in Clause 1(c)(i) of the Original Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking shall not
be confirmed or repeated; and

 

		(d)	the phrase "and in any event no later than 10 days before the date of the Court Meeting
and the EGM" Clause 1(c)(ii) shall be deemed to be amended to read "and in any event no later than 5 days before
the date of the Court Meeting and the EGM".

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

We irrevocably consent to the issue of
the Revised Transaction Announcement and any revised Scheme Document, and any further shareholder circular issued by Chiquita,
ChiquitaFyffes and/or Fyffes in connection with the Transaction, incorporating references to the provisions of this undertaking.
We understand that this undertaking will be made available for inspection (as required by the Takeover Rules) and that particulars
of it will be contained in the Revised Transaction Announcement and any revised Scheme Document. We shall promptly give you all
information and any assistance as you may reasonably require for the preparation of any revised Scheme Document and any other announcement
to be made, or document to be issued, by or on behalf of Chiquita, ChiquitaFyffes or Fyffes in connection with the Transaction
in order to comply with the requirements of the Takeover Rules, the Panel, the High Court or any other legal or regulatory requirement
or body.

 

The obligations under this undertaking
will lapse in any of circumstances specified in clause 3(b)(ii) to (iv) inclusive of the Original Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking
or if the Revised Transaction Announcement is not made on or before 26 September 2014 .

 

We agree that damages would or may not
be an adequate remedy for breach of this undertaking and that Chiquita and/or ChiquitaFyffes shall have the right to remedies of
injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of any such provision by us.

 

This undertaking and all non-contractual
matters arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by Irish law and we submit to the jurisdiction of the Irish courts
for all purposes in relation to this undertaking.

 

Except where the context requires otherwise,
the definitions used in this undertaking shall have the meanings given to them in the transaction agreement dated 10 March 2014
entered into between Fyffes, Chiquita, ChiquitaFyffes, CBII Holding Corporation and Chicago Merger Sub, Inc. as amended from time
to time.

 

IN WITNESS whereof this Deed has
been duly executed and delivered as a deed poll on the date shown at the beginning of this document.

David McCann

Re:
Proposed Transaction as Amended

 

Dear
Mr. McCann:

 

I
write on behalf of The Article 6 Marital Trust under The First Amended and Restated Jerry Zucker Revocable Trust dated April 2,
2007 (the “Trust”), one of the largest shareholders of Fyffes plc (the “Company”) and refer to the support
letter dated March 7, 2014 (the “Original Support Letter”) given by the Trust to the Company in connection with the
proposed combination transaction with Chiquita Brands International, Inc. (“Chiquita”), pursuant to which ChiquitaFyffes
Limited would acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company (the “Transaction”). The Trust
is presently the beneficial owner of 39,034,612 ordinary shares of the Company (together with any additional shares of the Company
that the Trust may acquire after the date hereof, and less any shares of the Company that the Trust may sell or otherwise transfer
from the date hereof, the “Shares”).

 

We
understand that the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) is in the process of authorizing the Company to
enter into an amendment to the Transaction. We understand that Chiquita and Fyffes propose to issue a press release on or before
September 26, 2014 announcing the revised terms of the Transaction, on the terms and subject to the conditions to be set out in
that announcement, and which will include a recommendation of the Board that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of
the Transaction as so revised (the “Revised Transaction Announcement”).

 

This
letter is to confirm and repeat the Trust’s support of the Transaction given by us in the Original Support Letter, and to
confirm that, so long as the Board is supportive of the Transaction with the revised terms and conditions specified in the Revised
Transaction Announcement or the transaction agreement, as amended, is not otherwise terminated or further materially modified as
determined by the Trust in the Trust’s sole and absolute discretion, the Trust will (x) vote all of its Shares in favor of
any proposal submitted to the Company’s shareholders to approve the Transaction with the revised terms and conditions specified
in the Revised Transaction Announcement and (y) not engage in discussions, or otherwise solicit third party interest, regarding
an alternative acquisition proposal for the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Trust expressly reserves the
right to sell or otherwise transfer any or all of its Shares to any third party upon any such terms and conditions as the Trust
may accept, in the Trust’s sole and absolute discretion. Further, the Trust expressly reserves the right to purchase or otherwise
acquire any additional shares of the Company from any third party upon any such terms and conditions as the Trust may accept, in
the Trust’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

We
also confirm that the Trust has no objection to any public disclosure by the Company or Chiquita of the support referred to in
this letter and that the Company may provide a copy of this letter to Chiquita.

  

	Yours very truly,
	 
	/s/ Michael Bender
