Background

Purchaser and Company and Shareholders wish for Purchaser to acquire all of the assets and business of Company, subject to all of the liabilities of Company, in a transaction that will leave the current shareholders of Company in control of Purchaser and will be treated as a tax-free reorganization under section 368(a) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

NOW, THEREFORE, acknowledging the receipt of adequate consideration and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Payment of Consideration.

In consideration of Il Luminate, Inc., the selling shareholder of Purchaser allowing the Purchaser to merge with the Company, the following consideration shall be paid by the Company to the Selling Shareholder:

2.2

While the above Note is outstanding, Selling Shareholder and or its successors or assigns shall retain a 30 percent equity position, subject to anti-dilution provisions, as described in section 10.4.4 in the newly merged corporation which will be known as Fresh Harvest.

2.3

Upon repayment of the note to the Selling Stockholder, the 30 percent equity interest held by the Selling Shareholder in Fresh Harvest shall be immediately reduced to a 20 percent interest. As the Note is paid down the percentage of the equity position of the Selling Shareholder shall decrease on a pro rata basis. For each $100,000 reduction in the outstanding balance the equity position shall be reduced by 2.5%. Until such position reaches 20% subject to anti-dilution provision. At the option of the Board of Directors, the returned share percentage may be disposed of at the discretion of the Board.

Dear Shareholder of Fresh Harvest Products, Inc.,

In anticipation of XXXXXX 1, Corp. (“XXXXXX”) completing its acquisition of Fresh Harvest Products, Inc. (“FHP”), FHP is required by the Acquisition Agreement to obtain an executed copy of this notification explaining certain Anti-Dilution Rights enjoyed by certain shareholders of XXXXXX from each and everyone of its shareholders.

These shares are hereafter referred to as the “Il Luminate Shares”. The Il Luminate Shares carry with them certain Anti-Dilution Rights which are more fully described below. After carefully reviewing the material presented in this notification below, please sign the enclosed copy and forward same to our office prior to December 30, 2005.

Anti-Dilution Rights.

10..1.

Anti-Dilution Rights: For the twelve months following the Effective Date or until the note is repaid whichever time period is greater, the Company and the Purchaser agree that the Il Luminate Shares shall contain full anti dilution rights and privileges, such that if any shares of the Surviving Corporation’s Common Stock are issued, in an amount that exceeds 3% of the total outstanding shares, within a 3 month period or if issuances exceed 5% in a 6 month period, and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx voted against such dilution at such time as the dilution event was voted upon, of the Surviving Corporation through any form of registration, or if any options, warrants, conversion rights of the Surviving Corporation or other securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of the Surviving Corporation’s Common Stock are issued (including shares issued by the Surviving Corporation by reason of exercise of existing stock options prior to the date of this Agreement), or if any shares that were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration by the Surviving Corporation become eligible to have the legend removed under Rule 144 or Regulation S while any of the Il Luminate Shares are still held, (a "Dilutive Event") the Surviving Corporation will, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, issue to the holders of the Il Luminate Shares, or any transferee or assignee thereof or by virtue of the laws

of descent or distribution, for no consideration, that number of shares of the Surviving Corporation’s Common Stock (the "Adjustment Shares") necessary to maintain their same aggregate percentage ownership of the Surviving Corporation. The number of Adjustment Shares to be issued in the aggregate to the Il Luminate Shareholders will be determined by the following formula:

No. Sh. Held by Il Luminate

No. Sh. Held by Il Luminate + X

No. Sh. outst. before Dilutive Event

No. Sh. outst. after Dilutive Event + X

Where X = number of Adjustment Shares to be issued.

These anti-dilution provisions shall apply in any consolidation of the Surviving Corporation with, or merger of it with or into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), or an acquisition of any other affiliated or nonaffiliated operating company provided that Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx voted against such Merger in a Board of Director meeting upon which such Merger was voted upon.

Thank you for your prompt attention to the foregoing,

Sincerely,

Fresh Harvest Products, Inc.

Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx

President
