required to be furnished to the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Guarantee Agreement; 
  
 (ii) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Guarantee Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts upon which such judgment was made;

 (iv) no provision of this Guarantee Agreement shall require the Guarantee Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Guarantee Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it

Officers’ Certificate which, upon receipt of such request from the Guarantee Trustee; shall be promptly delivered by the Guarantor. 
  
 (iv) The Guarantee Trustee may consult with legal counsel, and the written advice or opinion of such legal counsel with respect to legal matters shall be
full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion. Such legal counsel may be legal counsel to the Guarantor or

(including attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be requested by the Guarantee Trustee; provided that, nothing contained

until such instructions are received, and (C) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such instructions. 
  
 (b) No provision of this Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Guarantee Trustee to perform any act or acts or
exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Guarantee Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such
act or acts or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the Guarantee Trustee shall be construed to be a duty to act in accordance with such power and authority.

harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Guarantee Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Guarantee Agreement, including the costs

 Recitals: 
  
 A. On or about September 7, 2001, the parties entered into a certain
Revolving Credit Agreement, as same has been amended from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”). 
  
 B. Recently, Avicola Pilgrim’s Pride de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. changed its name to Comercializadora de Carnes de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.
(“Avicola”) and became the primary importer or distributor in Mexico of poultry products exported by the US Guarantor (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in Mexico. 
  
 C. As Avicola is the primary importer or distributor in Mexico of poultry products exported by the US Gurantor in Mexico and
has, as of October 1, 2002, become the primary distributor in Mexico for poultry products produced by the Operating Company (as defined in the Loan Agreement), Borrower has requested that the financial covenants set forth in the Loan
Agreement only be measured at the consolidated Avicola level. 
  
 D. Bank is agreeable to this on the terms and conditions set forth below, including but not limited to, the requirement that certain of Avicola’s subsidiaries guarantee the indebtedness of Borrower to Bank. 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree

of the Loan Agreement. 
  
 2. Section 6.7 of the Loan Agreement
shall be amended by deleting the first sentence. 
  
 3. Section
6.8 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the first sentence. 
  

 4. Section 6.9 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the first sentence. 
  
 5. Section 6.10 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the first

shall be amended as follows:

reading “the balance sheet of Avicola and the US Guarantor, on a consolidated basis and additionally for Avicola on a consolidating basis”. 

  

	 	(b)	Section 6.1(b) shall be amended by deleting the phrase “statements of income and retained earnings of the Borrower and of the Guarantors” and substituting in lieu therefor
the phrase reading “statements of income and retained earnings of Avicola and of the US Guarantor, on a consolidated basis and additionally for Avicola on a consolidating basis”. 

  

	 	(c)	Section 6.1(c) shall be amended by adding the phrase “and for Avicola on a consolidated and on a consolidating basis” after the phrase “As soon as available and in
any event within 135 (one hundred thirty five) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower and of the Guarantors, a copy of the audited consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and retained earnings for the Borrower and for
the Guarantors”.

importer or distributor in Mexico of poultry product exported by US Guarantor to Mexico; provided that US Guarantor, Mexican Guarantors or Operating Company may create a Subsidiary for the purpose of the distribution and sale of such product to
third parties without the consent of the Bank so long as such Subsidiary executes and delivers to Bank (i) a guaranty of the obligations under this Agreement in substantially the same form as the Guaranty; (ii) a security agreement granting a
security interest in the Accounts of such Subsidiary, which security interest shall secure the obligations under this Agreement; (iii) adopts, formalizes and records, to the extent required under applicable law, any and all resolutions so that each
such Subsidiary and its corresponding representative enjoy sufficient authority for the execution of any documents that requires being executed, formalized and delivered in connection with the transactions hereby contemplated.”

full force and effect and Borrower acknowledges that there are no defenses or setoffs to any of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement as of the date hereof. 
  
 9. Borrower certifies that no default or Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) has occurred and is continuing.

  
 10. Borrower and Guarantors (as defined in the Loan Agreement)
represent and warrant that each of its authority documents (as identified in Section 4.2 and 4.3 of the Loan Agreement) delivered to Bank in connection with the Loan Agreement, are in full force and effect and have not been modified, repealed or

 11. If any provision of this Amendment shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
affect only such provision and shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Amendment, and this Amendment shall be enforced as if any such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein.

shall remain unchanged and shall be in full force and effect, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
  
 13. Capitalized terms not defined herein, shall have the meaning(s) set forth in the Loan Agreement.
