DIAMOND OF CALIFORNIA

MANAGEMENT PENSION PLAN

INTRODUCTION

Before August 1, 2000, Diamond of California (the "Company") was one of the
participating companies in the Sun-Diamond Growers of California Defined Benefit
Pension Plan (the "Prior Plan"), which was first effective August 1, 1984.

Effective August 1, 2000, the Company established this Plan, the Diamond of
California Management Pension Plan (the "Plan") and the assets and liabilities,
as determined by Code Section 414(1), attributable to employees of the Company
were transferred from the Prior Plan to the Plan's Trust.

The Plan includes the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as
amended by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, the Small Business Job
Protection Act of 1996, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, and the Economic Growth
and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001.

STATEMENT AND PURPOSE

The Plan and Trust are intended to meet the requirements for qualification under
Section 40l(a) and exemption from tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, nothing in this
restatement shall be construed to reduce a Participant's accrued benefit in
violation of Code Section 411(d)(6) except as permitted by law.

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

1.1 "Accrued Benefit" shall mean the Participant's Normal Retirement Benefit
which he has earned as of a determination date. The Accrued Benefit shall
be subject to the minimum benefit requirements of Section 3.4(d) and
13.3(b). The Accrued Benefit of a Participant who incurs a Severance from
Service Date after reaching his Normal Retirement Age or his Early
Retirement Age shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.l(a),
below. The Accrued Benefit of all other Participants shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.l(b), below:

(a) A Participant's Accrued Benefit shall be that portion of the Normal
Retirement Benefit accrued under the Plan's benefit formula and based
on years of Credited Service through the determination date.
<PAGE>
(b) For purposes of determining the Participant's Normal Retirement
Benefit, it shall be assumed that years of Credited Service shall
continue to the Participant's Normal Retirement Date. A Participant's
Accrued Benefit shall be determined as follows: The Participant's
Normal Retirement Benefit shall be multiplied by a fraction, not to
exceed one (1), the numerator of which is the actual Credited Service
completed through the determination date and the denominator of which
is the Credited Service the Participant would have completed if the
Participant had continued Service until his Normal Retirement Date.

(c) In no event shall a Participant's Accrued Benefit be less than his
Accrued Benefit determined as of July 31, 2000, as determined under
the terms of the Prior Plan in effect as of that date.

1.2 "Actuarial Equivalent" shall meat a benefit, payable in a different form
and/or at a different time than a Participant's Accrued Benefit, which
shall be an amount that is equal in value to the Participant's Accrued
