 SMITHFIELD FOODS, INC. 
  
 AMENDMENT AGREEMENT NO. 5 
  
 As of March 25, 2004 
  
 To each of the Current Holders 
 listed in Annex 1 attached hereto 
  
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 Smithfield Foods, Inc., a Virginia corporation (together with its respective successors and assigns, the “Issuer”) agrees with you as follows: 
  
 1. PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. 
  
 The Issuer issued and sold: 
  
 (a) One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) in aggregate principal amount of 7.89% Series I Senior Secured Notes due October 1, 2009
(as they may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Series I Notes”); 
  
 (b) Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in aggregate principal amount of its Variable Rate Series J Senior Secured Notes due October 1,
2009 (as they may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Series J Notes”); 
  
 (c) Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in aggregate principal amount of its 8.44% Series K Senior Secured Notes due October 1, 2009 (as
they may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Series K Notes”); and 
  
 (d) Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in aggregate principal amount of its LIBOR Rate Series L Senior Secured Notes due October 1,
2009 (as they may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Series L Notes” and, together with the Series I Notes, the Series J Notes and the Series K Notes, collectively, the “Notes”),

  
 pursuant to those separate Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreements each
dated as of October 27, 1999 among the Issuer and the noteholders named in Annex 1 thereto (as amended by that certain Amendment Agreement No. 1, dated as of December 7, 2001, that certain Amendment Agreement No. 2, dated as of December 31, 2002,
that certain Amendment Agreement No. 3, dated as of April 4, 2003 and that certain Amendment Agreement No. 4, dated as of October 31, 2003, each among the Issuer and the other parties listed on the signature pages thereto, the “Existing

the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes as of the date hereof indicated in such Annex. 

 In connection with the Issuer’s agreement to sell its Canadian subsidiaries to Maple Leaf Foods,
Inc. (the “Transaction”), the Required Holders previously agreed to amend the Existing Purchase Agreements to exclude certain effects of the Transaction from certain of the restrictions set forth in Section 6.15 of the Existing
Purchase Agreements relating to Transfers of Property by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries. Such exclusion is contingent upon certain conditions, including the consummation of the Transaction on or before April 1, 2004. Due to pending regulatory
approvals, the Issuer has requested that the Current Holders extend such date until April 30, 2004. 
  
 2. DEFINED TERMS. 
  
 Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Purchase Agreements. 
  
 3. AMENDMENT TO EXISTING PURCHASE AGREEMENTS. 
  
 The Required Holders and the Issuer hereby agree to amend clause (e) of the definition of “Smithfield Canada Transfer Conditions” set forth in
Section 9.1 of the Existing Purchase Agreements by deleting the phrase, “such Transfer is consummated on or before April 1, 2004”, and substituting in its place the phrase, “such Transfer is consummated on or before April 30,
2004”. Such amendment is referred to herein as the “Amendment”. 
  
 4. CONSENT. 
  
 The Required Holders hereby
consent to the execution and delivery of amendments to those certain separate Note Purchase Agreements, dated as of March 1, 2002, between the Issuer and each of the purchasers listed on Annex 1 thereto, those certain separate Note Purchase
Agreements, dated as of June 2, 2000 between the Issuer and each of the purchasers listed on Annex 1 thereto, and those certain separate Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreements, dated as of October 31, 1999, between the Issuer and each of the
purchasers listed on Annex 1 thereto. Each such amendment shall be substantially in the form of this Amendment Agreement. 
  
 5. EXPENSES. 
  
 Whether or not the Amendment becomes effective, the Issuer will promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days of receiving any statement or invoice
therefor) pay all fees, expenses and costs relating to this Amendment Agreement, including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees of your special counsel, Bingham McCutchen LLP, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and delivery

 6. MISCELLANEOUS. 
  
 6.1. Part of Existing Purchase Agreements; Future References, etc. 
  
 This Amendment Agreement shall be construed in connection with and as a part of the Existing Purchase Agreements and, except

other instruments executed and delivered after the execution and delivery of this Amendment Agreement may refer to the Existing Purchase Agreements without making specific reference to this Amendment Agreement, but nevertheless all such references

 This Amendment Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by
less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. Delivery of a facsimile of an executed signature page hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original. 
  
 6.3. Governing Law. 
  
 THIS AMENDMENT AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE

 To each of the Current Holders

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 Smithfield Foods, Inc., a Virginia corporation (together with its respective successors and assigns, the

 The Issuer issued and sold:

 (b) Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in aggregate
principal amount of its LIBOR Rate Series N Senior Secured Notes due March 2, 2002 (as they may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Series N Notes”); 
  
 pursuant to those separate Note Purchase Agreements each dated as of June 2, 2000 among the
