2.2.1.1.5.3. Adjustment for “SPECIAL FORCE MAJEURE”

2.2.1.1.5.3.1. Definition For the effects of volume adjustment a Special Force Majeure event will be considered to have occurred when the decrease in the volume delivered by the SELLER is greater than 10% of the committed volume in a given quarter,

If a SPECIAL FORCE MAJEURE event occurred during the first quarter and it cannot be made up in the second quarter or if such event occurred during the second quarter, the SELLER will have the right to make up the agreed volumes during the third and fourth quarters without proportionally decreasing the volumes of those two last quarters in order to maintain the proportion of forty seven percent to fifty three percent that was agreed as a general rule for the distribution of the volume between the parties.

2.2.1.1.5.3.4. To the effect of fulfilling the agreements with the BUYER in the event of a drop in volume, its understood that these will be served by the SELLER after appropriating the 120,000 boxes mentioned above, in a proportion equivalent to 182,000 boxes per week from the BUYER for 80,000 boxes per week from the SELLER’S own marketing (or sales to third parties).

2.2.1.2.4. ADJUSTMENTS FOR SPECIAL FORCE MAJEURE: In the event of a decrease greater than ten percent in the contracted volumes for the first semester of the year, providing such decrease is not due to a deviation of such volume by the SELLER to third-party buyers or for its direct marketing, the SELLER will have the right to supply the contracted volume for the second semester entirely, disregarding the general

2.2.2. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS REGARDING VOLUME.

2.2.2.1. DURING THE THIRD QUARTER OF EACH YEAR. Except by agreement of the parties granted according to the rules set hereof, the weekly volumes that the BUYER is obligated to receive during the third quarter, added to the volumes from Turbo and Santa Xxxxx, even in the event of a SPECIAL FORCE MAJEURE, will not exceed [*] boxes.

2.2.4. SECOND CLASS FRUIT. It is understood that the BUYER is not obligated to purchase second class or quality fruit. When the BUYER purchases this type of fruit in Colombia, it will give the SELLER a deal proportional to the deal it gives the rest of its Colombian suppliers, at the same prices. However, the BUYER preserves the right to treat the SELLER in a disproportionate manner, whether favorably or unfavorably, in special cases in which it may be necessary to alleviate temporary problems of one or several producers or suppliers in particular.

3. CLAUSE THREE: PRICES. The prices that will apply to the basic volume contracted hereof will be those established in Annex C hereof.

3.1. COMMON ASPECTS.

3.1.1. SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND DAYS OF MANDATORY TIME OFF BECAUSE OF NATIONAL HOLIDAYS OR MOURNING. The BUYER will pay the SELLER the additional costs (in American dollars) according to the location as indicated in Annex C for each box packed on Saturday, Sunday and days of mandatory time off because of national holidays or mourning when such process is attributable to the BUYER, in aspects such as the itineraries of ships chartered by the BUYER and not other factors controlled by the SELLER.

However, the BUYER and the SELLER will cooperate within their restrictions so that both the rotations of the ships for which the former is responsible, as the use of containers for transporting and storing the FRUIT in as much as they are under the responsibility of the latter and the minimum daily volumes to be processed by the SELLER according to Clause 4.3.1., cause each party to assume their corresponding additional cost for cutting during those days, always with the purpose of minimizing the costs for both parties. Each time the BUYER makes a change in the rotation of the ships, the parties, by mutual agreement will estimate the volume of boxes to be packed on a Saturday, Sunday or days of mandatory time off whose additional cost is attributable to the BUYER by virtue of the cutting orders to be issued by the BUYER. Let it be recorded that with the rotation of the ships in operation at the time of the signing of this agreement, on occasion, work is performed on some farms in Turbo on Saturdays and holiday Mondays.

3.1.2. WEIGHT OF THE BOXES. The prices and the penalties agreed herein are for boxes of bananas with the weight at origin indicated in Annex C for different qualities and presentations. If variations occurred in the weights and/or dimensions of the box, the prices, the volume of the boxes and the penalties will be adjusted proportionally with respect to the banana component and the services such as stowing and transportation to the ship, taking into account the new weight of the FRUIT, and regarding the materials, a proportional cost increase will be recognized. The parties will come to an agreement on the price and cost adjustments that may be needed before the implementation of any change, with the understanding that consent can not be denied as long as the adjustments take into account the additional costs that such changes represent, including the loss of any net profit (“fully costed Profit”) in the supply of materials that the SELLER might endure by virtue of the changes required by the BUYER. The obligation to consider the loss of any net profit in the supply of materials cannot be interpreted in a way that the BUYER ends up being obligated to refund the investments made by the SELLER or its affiliates, nor any other type of collateral or consequential damage endured by the SELLER or its affiliates.

3.1.3. TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENT. The prices agreed for each shipment of the EXPORTED FRUIT an the FRUIT NOT EXPORTED will be paid through checks, bank drafts or preferably by electronic fund transfers to a bank account of the SELLER in the bank of its choice, on the second Wednesday after the week on which the ship sails, in American dollars. For example, for FRUIT shipped in ships that sailed the week of January 21-27,

2008, the payment would be made on Wednesday February 7. The SELLER will inform the BUYER in writing, before the first shipment takes place; the account number and name of the bank were it will receive the payments.

3.1.4. SINGLE PAYMENT. The prices established in this clause will constitute the only amount of money that the BUYER must pay the SELLER for the EXPORTED FRUIT.

3.1.5. PAYMENT FOR SPECIFICATIONS. The prices of the EXPORTED FRUIT will be paid based strictly on compliance with the assigned specifications and not based on the BRAND or the destination chosen by the BUYER. The parties agree that no purchase price will be paid for FRUIT that does not meet the quantities or other requirements established hereof.

4. CLAUSE FOUR: OPERATIVE ASPECTS

4.1. MATERIALS

4.1.1. SPECIFICATIONS AND COSTS. The cardboard boxes, plastics, labels, seals, pallets and any other packing material related to the packing and palletizing process, the fungicide for controlling post-harvest diseases and other materials and raw materials needed for packing the EXPORTED FRUIT must meet the BUYER’S specifications detailed in Annex B hereof. The costs related to the acquisition of such materials will be disbursed exclusively by the SELLER. The paper to produce the cardboard boxes will be provided under the sole risk and responsibility of the BUYER, according to purchase orders from the SELLER. To this effect, the BUYER has designated Xxxxxxxx Fresh North America, L.L.C. under its sole responsibility, to supply the paper in the conditions established in the Paper Supply Agreement signed with the SELLER. If at any time during the period of this Agreement, the paper is not provided for reasons imputable to the BUYER, in sufficient quantities and time required for the SELLER to produce the cardboard boxes needed to pack the shipments of the Basic Volume, the BUYER must pay the corresponding penalty for the boxes that were not packed according to section 4.3.4.1. hereof, but it will never be more that ten consecutive weeks for a quantity that would substantially affect the Basic Volume, in which case it will be understood that a breach of the FRUIT purchase agreement has occurred. However, if there were disruptions in the supply of paper, the SELLER will put forward it best efforts to mitigate the damage to the BUYER using, if available, another paper it might own to make the cardboard boxes needed with the commitment of the SELLER to proceed to its prompt replacement and if necessary pay the financial cost this might entail.

4.1.2. CHANGES IN CONDITIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS. The BUYER may vary the conditions and specifications of the packing materials (for example, the boxes used to pack the FRUIT, plastics, seals, labels, pallets, any other packing material related to the packing and palletizing process, the fungicide used to control post-harvest diseases and other materials and supplies needed for packing) by giving the SELLER at least fifteen (15) days notice. In such case, the potential savings or additional costs generated by such variation

in the conditions and/or specifications will benefit or harm only the BUYER. If changes are requested that require longer implementation periods, the BUYER may not give shorter notice than the time reasonably required by the SELLER. The parties will come to an agreement on all required price and cost adjustments before the implementation of any change with the understanding that consent cannot be denied providing the adjustments take into account the additional costs that such changes represent, including the loss of any net profit (“fully costed Profit”) in the supply of materials that the SELLER might endure by virtue of the changes required by the BUYER. The obligation to consider the loss of any net profit in the supply of materials cannot be interpreted in such a way that the BUYER ends up being obligated to refund the investments made by the SELLER or its affiliates, nor any other type of collateral or consequential damage endured by the SELLER or its affiliates.

4.2. LABELS AND BRANDS

4.2.1. SELECTION OF THE BRANDS. The BUYER will select freely the BRANDS that will go on the stickers and labels that will be affixed to the EXPORTED FRUIT and the boxes and plastic bags in which it is packed. The BUYER must take into account in any change of BRANDS, the minimum print runs of the stickers, labels or boxes that the change implies and coordinate with enough time with the SELLER any discontinuation in the use of a BRAND in order to exhaust reasonable inventories of stickers, labels and boxes, except if the BUYER decides to refund the SELLER for the cost of such inventories. The final arts or the plates of the BRANDS, in each case, will be provided by the BUYER or the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE.

4.2.2. USE AND PROTECTION OF THE BRANDS. The SELLER acknowledges the following: (a) that the BUYER has the exclusive right to use and order the use of the BRANDS; (b) that the BRANDS are and will remain the exclusive property of the BUYER or the entity or entities that have granted the BUYER the respective licenses to use them, even when such licenses are not specifically recognized or perfected according to pertinent legal provisions; (c) that the SELLER does not have any right regarding the BRANDS and that the use of such BRANDS does not generate such rights. The SELLER is obligated to strictly follow the instructions given by the BUYER or the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE regarding the use and protection of the brands. The SELLER commits to inform the BUYER or the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE immediately if it knows about some improper use of the BRANDS. The SELLER is responsible for the improper or irregular use for of the stickers, labels and other packing materials bearing the BRANDS that are in the SELLER’S possession. The BUYER will assume the costs for the defense of the SELLER in lawsuits filed by third parties alleging improper use of the BRANDS when the BUYER has ordered its use by the SELLER, and if necessary, will assume the cost of paying the respective fines or indemnifications. In the event that such lawsuit are filed, the BUYER will have the option of assuming the defense using its own lawyers under its exclusive control, in which case the SELLER must lend any cooperation needed including

issuing powers of attorney in favor of the lawyers the BUYER indicates. The SELLER is obligated to notify the BUYER promptly about any claim or filing of any lawsuit of this nature against the SELLER. Lack of timely notice will not impede the BUYER from assuming the defense from such lawsuits, but it will excuse the BUYER from the obligation of refunding any expense paid by the SELLER to that moment.

4.3. ESTIMATES AND CUTTING ORDERS

4.3.1. GENERAL OBLIGATION TO COOPERATE AND DAILY MINIMUM VOLUME. Both parties are obligated to cooperate in order to maximize daily FRUIT volumes to be packed, facilitate the rotation of ships and minimize the need to use refrigeration and to work on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Additionally, the SELLER is obligated during the term of this agreement and while the current rotation of the ships continues, to pack, on cutting days, a minimum daily volume of seventy five thousand boxes to be stowed in Turbo and twenty five thousand boxes to be stowed in Santa Xxxxx, unless the BUYER requests in writing a smaller daily volume. The time required to load is based on current performance. If the BUYER changed the rotation of the ships and this caused logistical problems to the SELLER regarding the sale of FRUIT to other clients, the SELLER is obligated to pack on cutting days a minimum daily volume of sixty thousand boxes to be stowed in Turbo and twenty five thousand boxes to be stowed in Santa Xxxxx, unless the BUYER requests in writing a smaller daily volume. This clause cannot be interpreted as an amplification of the basic volume as both parties recognize that the BUYER is not obligated under any circumstances to purchase more than eleven million boxes per year as basic volume.

4.3.2. THIRTEEN WEEK ESTIMATE. Each week, on Friday, or any other day that is agreed with the BUYER or the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE, the SELLER will deliver to them a written estimate of the volumes of all the FIRST CLASS FRUIT and MODIFIED FIRST CLASS FRUIT to be delivered at each of the PORTS OF LOADING during the following thirteen weeks (hereinafter “THIRTEEN WEEK ESTIMATE”)

4.3.2.1. The parties agree that the volume of FIRST CLASS FRUIT and the volume of MODIFIED FIRST CLASS FRUIT indicated by the SELLER for the first two (2) weeks of each THIRTEEN WEEK ESTIMATE is considered the final volume that he SELLER is obligated to sell and the BUYER is obligated to buy, within the conditions agreed hereof, and it may not be modified in subsequent THIRTEEN WEEK ESTIMATES. However, the SELLER may, at its choice, but depending and limited by the space on the ship, deliver for shipping up to three percent more or less than the final estimated fruit for the following week.

4.3.2.2. Additionally, once a month, the SELLER will deliver to the BUYER or the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE the information regarding the amount of fruit bagged per week during the preceding month, the

resulting conversion of boxes per FIRST CLASS FRUIT stem, per packing station on each day on which FRUIT was processed and the grade, per ribbon, of the stems harvested per week for each of the farms included in List Number One, mentioned in the definition of PLANTATION.

4.3.2.3. The parties agree that every week the BUYER will order and buy and the SELLER will ship and sell a mix of FRUIT qualities within the ranges established below, which must be reflected in the THIRTEEN WEEK ESTIMATES:

		Turbo Amount												Santa Xxxxx Amount
		Length				Min.				Max.				Length				Min.				Max.
First Quality			8.00”				80	%			90	%			8.00”				50	%			65	%

4.3.2.4. The BUYER will issue cutting orders for each shipment based on the THIRTEEN WEEK ESTIMATES issued by the SELLER, within the ranges established in section 4.3.2.3 above, and the BUYER may vary such orders between weeks whether with precut or delays, providing such actions do not imply a loss a fruit. It is understood that the BUYER may vary the mix of qualities ordered per week along a particular quarter only exceptionally and because of the impossibility of placing some type of fruit in the market, providing the weekly average along the quarter coincides with the corresponding THIRTEEN WEEK ESTIMATES and the established distribution. The SELLER recognizes that the market for the Juniors has a behavior that fluctuates more than the markets for other qualities or types of fruit. Nonetheless, the BUYER guarantees it best marketing effort to reduce the volatility of the weekly orders as much as possible and recognizes the SELLER’S need to count on weekly orders of Juniors in order to guarantee the best use of the FRUIT. If the BUYER repeatedly orders a mix of qualities outside the established ranges, at the request of THE SELLER negotiations will begin with the BUYER with the purpose of ameliorating the situation through the evaluation of the impact of such change and to negotiate an appropriate compensation.

4.3.3. CUTTING ORDERS. Each week, on Friday or any other day agreed with the SELLER or the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE, once the THIRTEEN

WEEK ESTIMATE has been received, the BUYER itself or through the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE will give the SELLER instructions relative to (i) the volume of FIRST CLASS FRUIT it will purchase the following week, as well as the volume of MODIFIED FIRST CLASS FRUIT and SECOND CLASS FRUIT it opts to buy. (ii) The date and time the EXPORTED FRUIT must be cut, observing the parameters established in section 4.3.1. (iii) The age limit, the maximum and minimum grade of cut applicable to such EXPORTED FRUIT. Additionally, the BUYER itself or through the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE will notify the SELLER, giving a minimum notice of 24 hours, the date and time of the arrival to the PORT OF LOADING of each ship as well as the approximate date and time of stowing of each ship on which the EXPORTED FRUIT must be stowed. Its understood and agreed that the BUYER itself or through the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE may modify such notification according to its judgment if a reasonable and justifiable reason exists, providing the SELLER is given at least fourteen (14) hours advance notice of the date and time of arrival and stowing stipulated above, when it is coming from Panama, and 24 hours of advance notice when it is coming from other ports. In any case, the SELLER will deliver the EXPORTED FRUIT to the container yard to be refrigerated within a maximum of twenty (20) hours after the cut. All days of the WEEK are considered workdays for cutting, carrying fruit to the packing station, packing and stowing.

4.3.4. PENALTIES

4.3.4.1. FRUIT NOT EXPORTED. To the effects contemplated in clause 2.1.2 the SELLER will have the right to be paid a single, total and definitive penalty equivalent to the price of purchase minus the non incurred costs if it is FRUIT that is part of the basic volume; and if is FRUIT that is part of the Additional Volume, $[*] per box during the first semester of each calendar year (from January 1 to June 30) and $[*] per box during the second semester of each calendar year (from July 1 to December 31). In order to determine the number of boxes of FRUIT on which the penalty will be paid, if the FRUIT has not been packed, stems will be converted to boxes based on the SELLER’S pondered average ratio of boxes per stem to FRUIT during the last four (4) DAYS of cutting. If the order not to load by the BUYER or the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE is issued after the packing process of the FRUIT has begun, the BUYER will pay the SELLER in addition for the packing materials used prior proof of their use, the operational salaries effectively incurred, the cost of transport if it has been done, as well as other costs incurred for disposing of the fruit in a correct and legal manner. The BUYER will pay these same penalties when, after not ordering the totality of the SELLER’S FRUIT in the final estimation on some particular weeks, the FRUIT exceeds the grade and it is necessary to chop it because it does not meet the conditions to be exported.

4.3.4.2. FALSE FREIGHT. If for any reason imputable to the SELLER, it does not deliver at least ninety seven percent of the volume of FRUIT ordered by the BUYER for the following week, based on the most recent THIRTEEN WEEK ESTIMATE, the SELLER must pay a single, total and definitive indemnification of $[*] during the first semester of each calendar year (from January 1 to June 30) and $[*] during the second semester of each calendar year (from July 1 to December 31) for each box of FRUIT not delivered over the limit of the margin of tolerance of three percent until the order issued by the BUYER for that shipment is fulfilled, but in no instance will it be responsible for eventual, consequential or collateral damages to the BUYER or its affiliates for this occurrence. Situations of force majeure or fortuitous situations that may prevent the SELLER from fulfilling its obligations are excluded.

Notwithstanding the above, the SELLER may exceed the margin of tolerance of three percent in two shipments, at most, during each quarter of the calendar year, so that in such shipments the SELLER may load a minimum of ninety five percent and a maximum of one hundred and five percent of the volume ordered by the BUYER, said surplus subject to availability of space in the ships chartered by the BUYER. This benefit granted by the BUYER to the SELLER is not a cumulative right from one shipment to another or from one quarter to another. The BUYER will try to mitigate its damages using banana volumes from other sources within the normal rotation of the ship to fill the space allowance onboard the ship and will not demand indemnification except for the boxes that were not supplied. The SELLER cannot use this tolerance to allege that the BUYER has waived its right to receive the volumes it ordered nor will it excuse the SELLER from making its best effort to always comply with the volumes ordered by the BUYER. When FALSE FREIGHT occurs, the BUYER will communicate this to the SELLER within the following two weeks. If not, the SELLER will lose it right to collect.

4.3.5. TRANSPORT TO THE PORT OF LOADING. The FRUIT is exported on pallets and under the deck in the hold of ships or in containers at the option of the BUYER. The SELLER must make arrangements for transportation in the containers provided by the BUYER from the PLANTATION to the PORT OF LOADING using appropriate and necessary equipment and it will also be responsible for their return to the yard.

4.3.5.1. CONTAINERS. The BUYER itself or through a TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE will provide the SELLER with the containers and the chassis needed to transport the EXPORTED FRUIT from the PLANTATION to the PORT OF LOADING, making it available at the corresponding yard of the PORT OF LOADING in question, according to the cutting needs, in anticipation to the corresponding shipment. It’s understood that the warehousing costs and temporary

conservation of the EXPORTED FRUIT in a container yard will be paid by the BUYER, but this does not relieve the SELLER with regard to the BUYER from assuming the transportation costs all the way to the PORT OF LOADING, nor regarding its obligations with respect to the quality of the EXPORTED FRUIT. Such transport and waiting time within the scheduled itinerary for the shipment will be at the exclusive risk of the SELLER who must take al needed precautions to protect the FRUIT, including the boxes in which it is packed, from the sun, rain, and other inclement weather, mistreatment, and incorrect stowing in the containers, and it is also obligated to obey all reasonable recommendations made by the BUYER or its designee, including the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE in relation to handling and care of the FRUIT. Claims for FRUIT lost due to faulty transportation, yard, and stowing services will be directed by the SELLER to the entities that provide such services, and the BUYER will provide all needed cooperation. The BUYER guarantees that the container’s refrigeration system provided to the SELLER will be in perfect working order when they are delivered and the parties will agree on a procedure to check them, which will be used when delivering and returning the containers. If any FRUIT is damaged because of a malfunction of the refrigeration system in one or more containers, the risk for the loss of such FRUIT will be the BUYER’S. Each party will assume the costs in the mutual deliveries of the CONTAINERS.

5. CLAUSE FIVE: QUALITY AND SANITATION

5.1. FRUIT INSPECTION AND REJECTION. The inspection and eventual rejection of the FRUIT may be done by the BUYER or its TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE at any time during the productive process; at the packing station, while being packed, at the PORT OF LOADING, when it is received, in the ship while it is being stowed.

5.1.1. Yet, if at the time of the unloading at the port of destination, defects appear such as “ripe and turnings”, “soft greens”, “peel rot”, “neck rot”, “crown rot”, “tip mold” and “latex post-harvest”, which has been previously agreed by the parties are hidden quality conditions impossible to detect at the time of boarding, the BUYER will have the right to deduct the amount paid for the rejected bananas from the following shipments of FRUIT that it receives from the SELLER. The SELLER will not be responsible for collateral or consequential damages to the BUYER by virtue of the rejection of the FRUIT for hidden conditions, being this indemnification the single, total and definitive indemnification which the BUYER has the right to receive for these incidents, except for the arrangements included in this same paragraph with respect to the liability for false freight, when applicable. The BUYER will demonstrate its claim by means of a report issued by an independent surveyor, whose report must include the condition of the FRUIT and state that the problem is not attributable to problems with the ship or other reasons unrelated to the

SELLER, and will include all the data of the fruit, especially the number of the farms or farm from which the fruit came. In every case, the SELLER may, on its own account and its own expense, designate representatives to participate as observers in the quality inspection, for which the BUYER will have to notify the rejection within forty eight hours of its unloading. In order to benefit from this right, the SELLER must provide the BUYER with an email address so the BUYER may report any rejection incident to the SELLER. Additionally, the SELLER will give the BUYER the name and information necessary to contact the surveyor or surveyors that the former has designated so that they are present in case of a rejection incident of the bananas at the destination port. If the SELLER does not provide the information about its designated surveyors, the BUYER will be relieved of its obligation to notify in a timely manner and it will simply inform the SELLER as soon as possible through the email address provided. The parties agree that the first rejection incident to occur in each calendar quarter will give the BUYER the right to withhold only the price paid for the rejected bananas. Rejection incidents of FRUIT loaded after the notification of the first rejection incident, will give the BUYER the right to receive the corresponding penalty for false freight, if it exceeds the allowed percentage of tolerance. If the BUYER does not notify the SELLER in a timely manner regarding the rejection incident or disposes of the fruit before it is inspected by the SELLER, then the withholding will not proceed.

5.2. PARTICIPATION IN QUALITY CONTROL ACTIVITIES. The SELLER and the BUYER acknowledge that the quality of the EXPORTED FRUIT in the destination markets is essential for a continued successful marketing. In these markets, the quality of the FRUIT NOT EXPORTED is not limited only to its physical characteristics, but also to the conditions in which this FRUIT is produced, including the correct application of agrochemicals, the environmental impact of production activities and the social/labor conditions in which these activities are carried out. The SELLER and the PRODUCERS also commit to participate with the BUYER, each to their own account and expense in reasonable quality control activities such as the establishment and maintenance of process-controls and the correct gathering of FRUIT quality data, as well as the communication and delivery of such information to the BUYER.

5.2.1. The SELLER and the PRODUCERS commit to grant access to the PLANTATION at any time during normal times of operation to quality control technicians designated by the BUYER or the TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE, so that they can evaluate in the field and at the banana packing stations bananas that potentially constitute FRUIT that can be sold in accordance with this agreement.

5.2.2. In the specific case of the battle against Black Sigatoka, the SELLER and the PRODUCERS will abide by the provisions in Annex B in the understanding that the BUYER will not be obligated to receive FRUIT originating in areas of the PLANTATION that do not meet the production conditions established in Annex B.

5.2.3. METHODS OF DEHANDING and PACKING. In order to preserve the quality of the EXPORTED FRUIT, the SELLER agrees with the BUYER to only use the methods of dehanding and packing previously authorized by the BUYER, which are duly described in Annex B.

5.2.4. CHANGES IN QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS. In order to assure the continued high quality of the ORDERED PRODUCTION, the BUYER will have the right to amend Annex B hereof by notifying the SELLER in writing at least fifteen (15) days ahead of time. The parties will come to an agreement on any necessary price and cost adjustments before the implementation of any change, with the understanding that consent cannot be denied if the adjustments take into account the additional costs that such change or changes represent, including the loss of any net profit (“fully costed profit”) from the supply of materials that the SELLER might bear due to changes required by the BUYER. The obligation to consider the loss of any net profit derived from the supply of materials cannot be interpreted in a way that the BUYER might end up being forced to repay investments made by the SELLER or his affiliates, nor any other type of collateral, possible or consequential damage borne by the SELLER or its affiliates.

5.2.5. CHANGES IN FRUIT PROTECTION METHODS, FRUIT SELECTION, DEHANDING AT THE PACKING STATION AND PACKING. The parties will come to an agreement on any necessary price and cost adjustments before the implementation of any change to any of the mentioned methods, with the understanding that consent cannot be denied if the adjustments take into account the additional costs and damages that such change or changes represent, including the loss of any net profit (“fully costed profit”) from the supply of materials that the SELLER might bear due to changes required by the BUYER, being this the only, total and definitive indemnification to which the SELLER is entitled by these changes. In no instance will the BUYER assume responsibility before the SELLER, the PRODUCER or its affiliates for collateral, possible or consequential damages that could occur by virtue of the changes regulated hereof. The changes that the SELLER or the PRODUCERS must perform to any of the methods mentioned with the intention of ensuring that the FRUIT meets the agreed quality specifications will be paid exclusively by the SELLER.

5.3. INFRASTRUCTURE. The SELLER and the PRODUCERS declare and guarantee that the PLANTATION meets and will meet, during the term of this agreement, the infrastructure requirements and conditions necessary to produce, process and transport the FRUIT in the volumes and with the quality agreed hereof, for example, safe and hygienic packing stations, able to process the FRUIT any week in three (3) DAYS at most, during periods of normal production and four (4) DAYS during periods of high production, access routes that can handle the traffic of transportation equipment without reducing the quality of the FRUIT, adequate internal transport systems for the stems to the packing station and, in those plantations that due to their location require it, according to standards commonly accepted by the Colombian banana industry, appropriate drainage and irrigation systems.

5.4. AGROCHEMICALS. In order to assure compliance with the laws concerning agrochemicals that exist in Colombia and the destination markets, as well as to protect occupational health conditions, the environment and the quality of the FRUIT, the SELLER and the PRODUCERS commit to apply, during the production process and the post-harvests stage, only pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators or other chemical or organic, natural, artificial or synthetic substances, that have been previously authorized by the BUYER or its TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE and are authorized for use in the Republic of Colombia and the destination countries of the FRUIT, including the United States of America and the countries that comprise the European Union. The SELLER and the PRODUCERS commit to apply these substances only in the amounts, proportions and using the methods established by the manufacturers of the authorized products and according to the best practices of the banana industry in Colombia. The BUYER has delivered to the SELLER and through the SELLER to the PRODUCERS, a listing of these products and substances.

If during the term of this agreement the Colombian authorities and the authorities of the destination countries of the FRUIT authorize different formulations, but chemically identical to the authorized products and substances, the SELLER and, through the SELLER, the PRODUCERS, must notify the BUYER of their intention of using those new formulations. If the new formulations imply application methods that are different from those used with the previous formulations, the BUYER may not object their use by the SELLER and the PRODUCERS as long as these methods of application do not result in higher risks to people’s health, the environment or the possibility of higher levels of residues on the FRUIT, which are above the levels allowed by the authorities at the destination countries. Any change to the listing of products and substances other than the case of new formulations of products that have already been authorized, may only proceed through a previous written agreement between the BUYER and the SELLER. In case of breach of the obligations assumed by the SELLER or PRODUCERS in this section, or if the FRUIT delivered is damaged or mistreated due to agrochemicals or with residue levels above those allowed by relevant regulations, the BUYER is authorized by the SELLER and the PRODUCERS to immediately suspend without liability the purchase of the FRUIT originating at the affected part of the PLANTATION, while the negative effects or other foreseeable damages last, without prejudice of rejecting this FRUIT for not complying with the specifications agreed hereof. The BUYER declares that it knows that the SELLER and the PRODUCERS will use BRAVO^® (clorotalonil), for the treatment of Black Sigatoka, in the entire PLANTATION. The BUYER hereby acknowledges that this product was never used in the farms on listing A, referenced in the definition of “PLANTATION”, while these farms were operated by the BUYER. The BUYER also acknowledges that it does not support the use of this product because of the potential occupational health and environment risks that, in the BUYER’S opinion, the use of this product implies, in spite of being a product whose use has been accepted by the authorities of Colombia, the European Union countries, the United States and the Rainforest Alliance in the “Better Banana Program”. The BUYER; nevertheless, accepts the use of BRAVO^® by the SELLER and the PRODUCERS as an exception to the listing of agrochemicals described above. In order to assure the safe use of pesticides (herbicides, nematicides, insecticides fungicides, plant growth regulators, etc.) and to protect the health of their workers, the SELLER and the PRODUCERS agree to organize the tasks in

the fields so that the field workers are not present in the areas of the PLANTATION that are being treated with pesticides in observance of the reentering periods established by the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States of America (U.S. EPA). For those workers who must enter an area of the PLANTATION being treated with pesticides, the SELLER and the PRODUCERS must provide appropriate personal protective equipment.

6. CLAUSE SIX: CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY, LABOR AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

6.1 CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND WORK ENVIRONMENT

6.1.1 The SELLER and the PRODUCERS declare that they are aware of the BUYER’S Corporative Responsibility commitments, assumed through the BUYER’S Code of Conduct and the “UITA/COLSIBA/Xxxxxxxx Agreement on Freedom of Association, Minimum Labor Standards and Employment in Latin American banana operations.” The SELLER acknowledges and accepts that it has received a copy of the Code of Conduct of the BUYER and a copy of the Agreement between Xxxxxxxx/UITA/COLSIBA and that it understands the social commitments and obligations which the BUYER wishes to implement in all its operations, including those of its supplier, particularly in the areas of labor, food safety and quality, environmental protection, and community relations standards.

If in the future, the SELLER wishes to include additional farms in the PLANTATION, it will notify the BUYER in writing of its intention and will provide the BUYER with all the information necessary to identify the new PRODUCER or PRODUCERS. The BUYER cannot deny its consent in an unreasonable manner. The new PRODUCER or PRODUCERS will have a maximum term of a year as of the date of the signing of the amendment to this agreement to obtain the certifications to the XX-0000, XXXXXXXXX, and Better Banana Program standards, as well as other certifications that the parties may decide to achieve in the future.

These recommendations may never exceed the levels of compliance in this area assumed by affiliates and subsidiaries of the BUYER in Latin America. In addition, if the legislations of the countries that comprise the destination markets require some type of certification, the SELLER is committed to achieve it at its expense and in a timely manner. If the clients of the BUYER require some type of particular certification, the SELLER commits to obtain it in a timely manner and paying these costs on behalf of the BUYER.

8. CLAUSE EIGHT: FORCE MAJEURE, SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

8.1 FORCE MAJEURE: The rights and obligations of the BUYER and the SELLER, resulting from this agreement, will be strictly executed by both parties, except in the event of breach due to an act of God or force majeure, such as the application of restrictions to international trade by the government of the Republic of Colombia, the United States of America or the European Union, labor strikes, including strikes that completely stop the work at the PLANTATION, stowing, transport and banana unloading in the country of origin or destination; or strikes in transportation, war, revolt, revolution, riot, invasion, sabotage and other causes of similar nature, duly provided, only if there is no alternative to resolve it. The statements in this Section 1 of Clause Eight will be subject to applicable provisions in the Section titled “Remedies for Breach of this Agreement “of the agreement called “Stock Purchase Agreement” referenced at the

beginning of this document. Any cause of force majeure that prevents the performance of this agreement, or makes its execution impossible, or that implies violating the law or regulations pertaining to one of the parties, will suspend its effects, but only during the period or the part of it during which such force majeure prevents or makes its execution impossible or illegal. In the event of occurrences such as those previously described that prevent its partial execution; the part of the agreement that is possible will continue being executed.

8.2 PROCEDURE AND CAUSES FOR SUSPENSION. Both parties are authorized to totally or partially suspend, depending on the case, the performance of the obligations imposed by this agreement by the occurrence of one or several of the events described as FORCE MAJEURE, provided such events make it impossible for the party that invokes the suspension to absolutely or partially continue performing this agreement. The parties specifically agree that the causes for suspension must be directly related to the fulfillment of contractual obligations and that such suspension will have effect only in relation to the obligations that are affected by the cause and solely in relation to the part of the PLANTATION affected by the cause; they also must be verified, of sufficient magnitude to justify the suspension and have no alternative to overcome them. The cause of suspension must be communicated, by the party that invokes it to the other party in writing to the respective notification address. The suspension will enter into effect the day after the party to whom the suspension is communicated receives notification in which the other party indicates the reason or reasons for the suspension. The suspension of the obligations that arise hereof will not interrupt the original term of the agreement, which will continue running all the time while suspension lasts. The SELLER may not use the BRANDS during the suspension period. If the BUYER alleges the suspension, unless it is for causes imputable to the SELLER, the SELLER will have the right to sell the FRUIT that is produced during the suspension period to third parties, unless the BUYER decides to pay the prices agreed hereof for FRUIT NOT EXPORTED.

Nevertheless, in the case of lack of payment by the BUYER, this term will not exceed seven (7) days. The termination will take effect fifteen (15) days after the party that failed to comply receives the written communication specifying the cause for the termination sent by the party that invoked the termination.

9. CLAUSE NINE: OTHER CONDITIONS

9.1 ASSIGNMENT OF THE AGREEMENT. This agreement can not be assigned or transferred, partially or completely, to any natural or juridical person by one of the parties without the previous, express written consent of the other party. Nevertheless, the BUYER hereby authorizes the SELLER to assign as collateral the economic rights derived from this agreement in favor of one or several banking or financial institutions. Therefore, by express request of the SELLER, the assignment of economic rights that BIC performed on June 22, 2004 will continue, without a continuity solution ,in favor of the institutions that granted the SELLER a syndicated credit.

9.2 GUARANTEE OF CLEARING TITLE IN CASE OF DISPOSSESSION. The SELLER guarantees to the BUYER that the FRUIT acquired by virtue of this agreement is free of burdens and encumbrances of any type that may affect its benefit to, and free disposition by the BUYER. Consequently, the SELLER agrees to clear the title in case of dispossession and assumes absolute liability for any loss that may arise from a breach of this guarantee. In the event of lawsuits pursuing the FRUIT contemplated hereof, the SELLER will have the option of assuming the defense using its own lawyers and expense and under its exclusive control, for which the BUYER must provide any necessary cooperation, including the issuance of powers of attorney in favor of the lawyers of the SELLER. The BUYER agrees to notify to the SELLER in a timely manner the existence of any claim or claim-filing of this kind against the BUYER. Failure to notify in a timely manner will not prevent the SELLER from assuming the defense against such claims, but it will release the SELLER from the obligation to repay the BUYER for any cost that it may have incurred to that moment. Yet, if the SELLER illegally disposes in favor of a third party of the FRUIT that has been sold and delivered by virtue of this agreement to the BUYER, the BUYER—and thus the SELLER irrevocably authorizes this, may exert civil, commercial and penal actions within its reach in any court or jurisdiction of the world, to prevent the illegal disposal of the FRUIT.

9.5 FAILURE IN THE EXERCISE OF RIGHTS. The failure by any of the parties to notify or to exert any right under this agreement will not represent a waiver to such right, unless the party that renounces notifies the other in writing. The waiverby any of the parties to any right contemplated in this agreement will not signify a waiver to any right of similar nature that may have developed later. The fact that one of the parties allows, once or several times, the other party to fail to fulfill its obligations or to fulfill them imperfectly or in a manner different from the one agreed hereof, or does not insist on the precise fulfillment of such obligations, or does not exert its contractual or legal rights in an opportune manner, will not create the presumption nor will it be equivalent to a modification of this agreement nor will it hinder this party in any instance, in the future, from insisting on the correct and specific fulfillment of the legal obligations that correspond to the other party or exert the contractual or legal rights to which it is entitled.

9.12 CONTRACTUAL GOOD FAITH.

10. CLAUSE TEN: TERM OF THE AGREEMENT

10.1. TERM. This agreement will be in effect from January 1, 2008 to June 28, 2012. An early termination of the pineapple supply agreement entered between the SELLER and Xxxxxxxx Frupac, Inc., imputable for any reason to one of the parties, will confer the non-guilty party the option to end this agreement or to carry on with its execution. This decision must be made within the three (3) months following the statement of breach of the pineapple agreement by means of an arbitration decision issued by an pre-agreed arbitration court, unless said decision is unnecessary due to the fact that it is a termination based on a total suspension of the pineapple agreement that extends for more than twelve months, and therefore the termination of this agreement could occur immediately after deeming such pineapple agreement concluded.
