SEMINIS, INC.
SEMINIS VEGETABLE SEEDS, INC.
MODIFICATION AND INTERIM WAIVER AGREEMENT
To the Lender Parties to the Credit
Agreement Identified Below
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We refer to the Credit Agreement dated as of June 28, 1999 (the "Credit
Agreement") among the undersigned, SEMINIS, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Seminis"), SEMINIS VEGETABLE SEEDS, INC., a California corporation ("SVS" )
and SVS HOLLAND B.V., a private company with limited liability incorporated
under the laws of The Netherlands ("SVS Holland" and, together with Seminis and
SVS, individually a "Borrower" and collectively the "Borrowers"), the Banks from
time to time party thereto and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust and Savings Bank, as administrative
agent for the Banks (the "Administrative Agent"), as heretofore or hereafter
amended (the "Credit Agreement"), capitalized terms used without definition
below to have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrowers were not in compliance with Sections 7.20 and 7.22 of the
Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2000 and anticipate they will not be in
compliance with either of those Sections of the Credit Agreement as of December
31, 2000 and March 31, 2001. In addition the Borrowers have informed the Banks
that they will not be able to pay the principal installments on the Term Loans
in the principal amount of $12,500,000 that are due on December 31, 2000.
Therefore, Events of Default may arise under the Credit Agreement. The Borrowers
have requested that the Banks waive compliance with Sections 7.20 and 7.22 of
the Credit Agreement, reamortize the Term Loans and otherwise modify and waive
certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, and the Banks are willing to do so
on the terms and conditions contained in this Modification and Interim Waiver
Agreement (the "Agreement").
Accordingly, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to effectiveness
set forth below, the Borrowers and the Banks agree as follows:
1. Interim Waivers with Respect to Certain Financial Covenants. Any
Potential Default or Event of Default occasioned solely by the failure of the
Borrowers to be in compliance with Section 7.20 or 7.22 of the Credit Agreement
as of, but only as of, September 30, 2000, December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001
(each a "Test Date") is hereby waived but only for the period (the "Waiver
Period") from the applicable Test Date to and including April 30, 2001 (the
"Expiry Date"). From and after the Expiry Date such waivers shall be of no
further force or effect and, absent a further waiver of such Potential Defaults
and/or Events of Default by the Required Banks such Potential Defaults and
Events of Default shall once again arise all as though the waivers provided for
in this Section 1 had never been given.

2. Extension of Term Loan Maturities Due December 31, 2000. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement or the Term Credit
Notes, the principal installments of the Term Loans in an aggregate amount of
$12,500,000 due December 31, 2000 shall be payable in two installments each in
the principal amount of $6,250,000 which shall be due and payable on March
31,2001 and April 30, 2001. These installments are in addition to any other
principal installments of the Term Loans required to be made pursuant to the
Credit Agreement.
3. Additional Collateral. (a) No later than January 31, 2001, the Domestic
Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of their Domestic Subsidiaries to, grant
to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks valid and enforceable
mortgage liens on all of their real property, buildings and improvements
(including fixtures) located in the United States of America, other than (i) the
Oxnard Facility and any other property that is subject to a lien the terms of
which either prohibit the granting of a second lien on the property in question
or require a third party's consent to the granting of such lien and such consent
has been requested and denied or withheld (collectively, the "Excluded First
Lien Properties"), and (ii) any real property having a fair market value of less
than $400,000 or, if the fair market value of any real property is unknown, a
book value of less than $250,000, all pursuant to mortgages or deeds of trust
satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent. The Domestic
Borrowers shall not, nor shall they permit their Domestic Subsidiaries to, grant
any further consensual liens or encumbrances on any of the Excluded First Lien
Properties.
(b) No later than February 28, 2001, SVS Holland will grant to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks valid, perfected and
enforceable liens on all of its assets, including without limitation all of its
inventory, accounts receivable, general intangibles, machinery and equipment and
intellectual property, all in the manner required or permitted by the laws of
The Netherlands and pursuant to documentation satisfactory in form and substance
to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the liens and security
interests granted by SVS Holland pursuant to this Agreement shall secure only
SVS Holland's indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the Loan
Documents.
(c) As soon as practicable but in any event no later than February 28,
2001, the Domestic Borrowers shall take, and cause all Subsidiaries thereof to
take, such action as shall be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the
Administrative Agent to grant the Administrative Agent valid, perfected and
enforceable first liens on the germplasm, other biological material and
intellectual property of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries located in foreign
countries including but not limited to The Netherlands, Chile, Spain, France,
Italy and Korea, all as collateral security for the Obligations (as defined in
the Security Agreement).
(d) No later than February 28, 2001, the Domestic Borrowers shall take, and
cause all Domestic Subsidiaries thereof to take, such action as shall be
necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to cause all
liens granted to the Administrative Agent on the capital stock of or other
equity interest in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, Hungnong and certain other Foreign Subsidiaries
owned directly by the Domestic Borrowers or any of their Domestic Subsidiaries
(limited to 66% of the issued and outstanding voting equity interests) to be
perfected in the
-2-
3
manner required by the law of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Subsidiary
is organized so as to be enforceable against creditors in such foreign
jurisdictions
(e) In connection with the execution and delivery of the security
documentation described in this Section 3 the Borrowers shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, title insurance
and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent or its counsel
may reasonably require within such time frames as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably specify.
(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, the liens and security interests
granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3 shall secure all
of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement).
(g) The requirements contained in subsections (c) and (d) of this Section 3
shall be subject to such limitations as the Required Banks, after consultation
with Seminis, may reasonably determine are appropriate so as not to impose a
cost (including without limitation domestic and foreign taxes) upon the
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries which is disproportionate to the benefit to be
gained by the Banks through the provision of such collateral security and as may
be necessary in order to accommodate limitations or requirements of local law.
On or before January 15, 2001 the Administrative Agent and a group of Banks
acting as a steering committee for the Banks (the "Steering Committee") shall
recommend to the Banks a course of action to be taken with respect to the
foregoing which the Steering Committee believes to be reasonable and appropriate
under the circumstances and shall report to the Banks as to the modifications,
limitations and restrictions which should be imposed in connection with the
foregoing and if approved by the Required Banks such modifications, conditions
and restrictions shall be binding upon all of the Banks.
(h) No later than January 8, 2001, the Borrowers shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent stock certificate representing 66% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of each of the Domestic Borrowers' Foreign
Subsidiaries (except for such certificates delivered in satisfaction of Section
22(c)(ii) hereof) to the extent such capital stock is evidenced by a
certificate, together with an executed stock power (or equivalent, if any)
executed in blank for each such certificate.
4. Rescheduling of Final Maturity of Term Loans. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement or the Term Credit Notes, the
Term Loans shall mature and be due and payable in full on June 30, 2002.
5. Revolving Credit Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Credit Agreement or the Revolving Credit Notes, the

6. Mandatory Prepayments with Proceeds of Certain Asset Sales. Upon receipt
by Seminis or any of its Subsidiaries of cash proceeds in excess of $2,500,000
in the aggregate from any sale or other disposition of Property, other than
sales or other dispositions reflected in the cash flow projections for Seminis
and its Subsidiaries attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A
-3-
4
(the "Cash Flow Projections"), the Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans and
the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding ratably in accordance with the
outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and the amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitments, such prepayment to be in an amount equal to the cash
proceeds received by Seminis or its Subsidiaries in respect of such sale, less
(x) any expenses reasonably incurred by Seminis or its Subsidiaries in respect
of such sale and (y) (i) the amount of any Debt secured by a Lien on such
Property and required to be discharged from, and actually discharged from, the
proceeds thereof and (ii) any taxes actually paid or payable by Seminis or its
Subsidiaries (as estimated by a senior financial or accounting officer of
Seminis, giving effect to the overall tax position of the Borrowers). Upon any
prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 6 the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically and permanently be reduced by
the amount of such prepayment and each Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment shall
automatically and permanently be reduced by such Bank's Commitment Percentage of
such reduction.
7. Capital Expenditures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the Required Banks'
prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), no
Borrower shall expend or incur, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to expend or
incur, for:
(a) Capital Expenditures outside of the United States of America
("International Capital Expenditures") in an amount in excess of the
amounts contemplated in the cash flows for such Subsidiaries as shown on
the Cash Flow Projections,
(b) Capital Expenditures within the United States of America other
than (i) Capital Expenditures in an amount reasonably determined by Seminis
and scheduled on the Cash Flow Projections to be the minimum amount
necessary for the maintenance of the Property of Seminis and its Domestic
Subsidiaries in the United States of America, and (ii) Capital Expenditures
consisting of the costs of completing the purchase and installation of
equipment at the Oxnard Facility shown on the Cash Flow Projection;
provided, that this subsection (b) shall not apply if and when the
Borrowers pay both of the principal payments required by Section 2 hereof
and the accrued interest and L/C Participation Fees at the Additional
Margin required to be paid on April 30, 2001, by Section 14 hereof; or
(c) Capital Expenditures made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, Hungnong and their
Subsidiaries, unless such Capital Expenditures are funded with funds
generated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, Hungnong and their Subsidiaries.
8. Restricted Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Seminis will not make any
Restricted Payments except for Restricted Payments reflected in the Cash Flow

conditions acceptable to the Required Banks
-4-

(the "Bridge Loan"). The proceeds of the Bridge Loan will be used only for cash
used in operations and to pay interest on the Loans. Seminis may repay the

capital stock of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and Hungnong or with the proceeds of the sale of
SVS's equity interest in LSL Plantscience, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("LSL"). Such repayment shall be permitted notwithstanding the fact that
the Administrative Agent has or shall have a security interest in certain of the
capital stock of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and Hungnong.
10. Recapitalization Plan. No later than March 31, 2001, Seminis will
