         Agreement dated December 21, 1999 between Fresh Foods, Inc., a North
Carolina corporation (the "Company"), and Gungor Solmaz ("Solmaz").

         For good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of
which are hereby acknowledged by each party, and in consideration of the mutual
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Reference is made to the form of Agreement between the parties
identified as "Solmaz Agreement 3" in its footer (the "Solmaz Agreement"). The
parties agree to execute the following process as soon as commercially
reasonable and in no event later than 6:00 P.M., Charlotte time, on January 31,
2000 (the "Outside Closing Time"):

         o     Solmaz will tender for delivery to the Company certificates
               representing all (68,024) shares of common stock issued by the
               Company and beneficially owned by Solmaz and the Solmaz Entities
               at the date hereof.

         o     Solmaz will tender or cause to be tendered a stock power or
               powers, in customary form, to be delivered to the Company
               together with such certificates, thereby transferring beneficial
               ownership and (subject to recording by the transfer agent) record
               ownership of all such shares to the Company.

         o     Solmaz will execute an undated counterpart of the Solmaz
               Agreement and tender it for delivery to the Company.

         o     The Company will execute an undated counterpart of the Solmaz
               Agreement and tender it for delivery to Solmaz.

         o     The Company will cause to be tendered for delivery to Solmaz, by
               wire transfer to an account identified by Solmaz, by bank check
               or by other check drawn on a trust account of McGuire, Woods,
               Battle & Boothe LLP (as the Company may elect), $1,020,360.00.

         2. All tenders shall be made concurrently with one another to the
extent practicable. All deliveries shall be deemed to have been made
concurrently with one another. The Solmaz Agreement, when executed and delivered
by the parties, shall be dated the date of the payment referred to above.
Failure by one party to make all tenders by the Outside Closing Time shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement and, among other remedies (as
provided by law and equity), shall excuse the other party from its obligations
hereunder.

         3. Each party covenants and agrees with the other not to disclose the
existence or terms of this Agreement to any person at any time for any purpose,
except that (a) either party may make such disclosures confidentially to the
party's lawyers and accountants in connection with the rendition of their
professional services and (b) the Company may make such disclosures as it deems

them. This Agreement cannot be amended or otherwise modified, nor can

signed by the party or privy sought to be charged with the amendment,
modification or waiver. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina (without regard to the
principles of conflict of laws thereof). This Agreement shall inure to the
