Each Lender hereby designates and appoints WFF as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Canadian Lender hereby designates and appoints WFFC as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and, subject to the terms of Section 14.1, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint, and authorize) each Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers) on the conditions contained in this Section 15. The provisions of this Section 15 are solely for the benefit of each Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or Bank Product Provider), and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) U.S. Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that such Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or
of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to either Agent, Lenders agree that (a) U.S. Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (i) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and related matters, (ii) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (iii) make U.S. Advances, for itself or on behalf of U.S. Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (iv) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (v) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as U.S. Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, (vi) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to the Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (vii) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as U.S. Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents, and (b) Canadian Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (i) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and related matters, (ii) make Canadian Advances, for itself or on behalf of Canadian Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (iii) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (iv) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to the Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (v) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Canadian Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.”
(hh) Section 15 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new Section 15.18 immediately following Section 15.17:

(a) solely for purposes of Dutch law, each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to WFF an amount equal to the aggregate of all Principal Obligations due and payable but unpaid (the “Parallel Debt”);
(b) the Parallel Debt constitutes obligations and liabilities of each Borrower to WFF which are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Principal Obligations and the Parallel Debt represents WFF’s own independent right to receive payment of the Parallel Debt from each Borrower;
(c) notwithstanding Section 15.18(b), if WFF receives or recovers any amount in respect of (i) the Parallel Debt, the Principal Obligations decrease by that amount as if that amount was received or recovered directly in payment of the Principal Obligations and, for the avoidance of doubt, (ii) the Principal Obligations, the Parallel Debt decreases by that amount as if that amount had been received or recovered directly in payment of the Parallel Debt;
(d) the parties acknowledge and confirm that the provisions contained in this Section 15.18 shall not be interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the Principal Obligations under the Loan Documents; and
(e) no Borrower shall repay or prepay Parallel Debt if and as long as it owes Principal Obligations, unless directed to do so by WFF and such Borrower is otherwise required to repay or prepay the Principal Obligations hereunder.”

3. Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 below and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, Agents and the Lenders hereby waive any non-compliance by Borrowers of the covenant set forth in Section 5.18(a) of the Credit Agreement and the consequences, if any, from any such non-compliance (including without limitation any Event of Default that may have resulted therefrom).

Schedule 4.7
Litigation
Proposition 65:
People v. Tri-Union Seafoods, LLC et al., Court of Appeal of the State of California, First Appellate District, case No. A116792. On June 21, 2004, the Attorney General of California filed a lawsuit against, among other defendants, Bumble Bee Foods under California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (“Proposition 65”) alleging that the defendants failed to warn consumers that albacore and light meat tuna contain methylmercury. On May 11, 2006, a California Superior Court judge ruled in favor of the tuna industry on all counts and ordered that all causes of action against the defendants be dismissed. On January 18, 2007, the attorney general filed a notice of appeal of such ruling. On March 11, 2009, the California Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s finding that methyl mercury in the oceans is naturally occurring thus removing canned tuna from the scope of Proposition 65. The State of California had until April 20, 2009 to make a further appeal on this matter, but did not do so.
Customs and Border Protection Action:
In October 2006, US Customs and Border Control informed Bumble Bee that certain imports of tuna loins were subject to duties at higher rates than claimed by Bumble Bee. Bumble Bee has filed administrative protests locally and a request for additional review at customs headquarters. This matter would not be covered by insurance

New Mexico
Estate of Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx A complaint was served on Bumble Bee on July 7, 2008 and on Xxxxxxxxxxx’x Food Company on June 30, 2008 by counsel representing the sister of a deceased individual in New Mexico. An answer was filed on behalf of both Bumble Bee and Xxxxxxxxxxx’x on July 30, 2008. This matter has been settled.
USDA Notice of Violation
In late March 2008, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (“FSIS”) sent Notices of Alleged Violation to Bumble Bee/Xxxxxxxxxxx relating to alleged conduct that occurred prior to the July 2007 recall. The Notice alleged violation of the Federal Meat Inspection Act and indicate that FSIS is considering referring Bumble Bee/Xxxxxxxxxxx’x to a US Attorney for criminal prosecution. On May 2, 2007, Bumble Bee/Xxxxxxxxxxx filed a written response to FSIS demonstrating why no such referral should be made. This matter was not referred to the US Attorney for criminal prosecution.

Schedule 4.12
Environmental Matters
1. Blacks Harbour, New Brunswick. The Fund received a “Warning Respecting an Alleged Violation,” dated April 28, 2008, from the federal Ministry of the Environment (“Environment Canada”) following an inspection of the canning plant in Blacks Harbour, New Brunswick on October 22, 2007. This warning, which was issued pursuant to the federal Fisheries Act, advises that: “information gathered during an inspection of your facility . . . gives me reasonable grounds to believe that Xxxxxxx Bros. and its responsible officials are in violation of . . . the Fisheries Act.” It is alleged that effluent discharged through the sewer outfall from the plant was deleterious to fish. On August 14, 2008 the Fund and certain staff members received an Inspector’s Direction issued under the Fisheries Act (the “Inspector’s Direction”). The Inspector’s Direction relates to the same alleged facts which are set out in the warning, and states that the samples collected were found to be “deleterious to fish,” and “an impairment of the local environmental quality.” The Inspector’s Direction directs the Fund and named staff member to take measures which include the preparation and submission to Environment Canada of a detailed action plan, detailed progress reports and a final “completion report”. The Fund has been working with Environment Canada to resolve this matter. In that regard, Environment Canada has approved of the Fund’s plans to build a wastewater treatment plant, which includes pre-treatment of the Fund’s effluent. Construction of the wastewater treatment plant is scheduled to begin first quarter 2010.
2. Cape May, New Jersey. In August 2008, material appearing to be hydrocarbon based was seen in the areas of the warehouse loading dock. This area is below grade and has a sump system to remove accumulated rainwater and other fluids. A cooling water line under the main building, and in the general area of the loading dock, was found to be leaking. When this system was shut-down, the oil-like material receded. O’Brien &’Xxxx, the Fund’s consultant, has conducted several interior investigations of the facility confirming the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons in soils and groundwater throughout the facility. O’Brien & Xxxx has prepared a remedial action plan consisting of enhanced bio-remediation. A pilot study will be conducted this winter and subject to approval by the state or a licensed environmental professional, as applicable, a full-scale remedial system will be implemented.
