SIXTH AMENDMENT TO THE

BIRDS EYE FOODS MASTER SALARIED RETIREMENT PLAN

 

 

This
amendment is adopted by Birds Eye Foods, Inc., a corporation duly formed
and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware (referred
to herein as the “Employer”).

 

WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS,
the Employer has adopted the Birds Eye Foods Master Salaried Retirement Plan
(the “Plan”) which was amended and restated effective January 1, 2001, and

 

WHEREAS,
the Employer has reserved the right pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Plan

WHEREAS,
the Employer now wishes to amend the Plan;

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended effective as of March 28, 2005 by
revising Paragraph (f) of Section 6.1 to read as follows:

 

“If
any benefit payable under the Plan has a single-sum Actuarial  Equivalent
present value which is less than or equal to $5,000 or such  other amount as
provided in Code Section 411(a)(11), such payment shall be  made in the form
of an Actuarially Equivalent lump-sum basis without the  Participant’s
consent; provided, however, that if the single-sum Actuarial  Equivalent
present value is greater than $1,000, then the lump-sum payment  to the
Participant or an eligible retirement plan designated by the  Participant
shall be made only if the Participant elects in writing on  forms provided
by the Plan Administrator for such payment or transfer to an  eligible
retirement plan. The Actuarial Equivalent present value shall be  based on the
benefit otherwise payable at the Participant’s Normal  Retirement Date
but shall not be less than the value as of the commencement  date in the case
of a Participant who is eligible for an Early Retirement  Benefit. A
Participant who terminates employment at a time when he is not  vested in any
portion of his employer-provided benefits shall be deemed to  have received a
lump sum payment of his full accrued benefit attributable  to his
employer-provided benefit as of the date of termination.”

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this
Amendment has been executed this 25 day of August, 2005.
