MASTER TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR WARRANTS

ISSUED BY SMITHFIELD FOODS, INC.

The purpose of this Master Terms and Conditions for Warrants (this “ Master Confirmation ”), dated as of July 1, 2008, is to set forth certain terms and conditions for warrant transactions that Smithfield Foods, Inc. (“ Issuer ”) shall enter into with Citibank, N.A. (“ Bank ”). Each such transaction (a “ Transaction ”) entered into between Bank and Issuer that is to be subject to this Master Confirmation shall be evidenced by a written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with such modifications thereto as to which Issuer and Bank mutually agree (a “ Confirmation ”). This Master Confirmation and each Confirmation together constitute a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.

This Master Confirmation and a Confirmation evidence a complete binding agreement between you and us as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and such Confirmation relate. This Master Confirmation and each Confirmation hereunder, shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) as if we had executed an agreement in such form on the Trade Date of the first such Transaction (but without any Schedule except for (i) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement shall apply to Issuer with a “Threshold Amount” of USD 25 million; (ii) Section 5(a)(vi) shall be amended by (x) deleting the words “of not less” in the fifth and tenth lines and inserting the word “greater” in lieu thereof in both places and (y) deleting the words “or becoming capable at such time of being declared” in the seventh line; and (iii) the election of United States dollars as the Termination Currency) between you and us, and such agreement shall be considered the “ Agreement ” hereunder.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Definitions ”) as published by ISDA are incorporated into this Master Confirmation. For the purposes of the Definitions, each reference herein or in any Confirmation hereunder to a Warrant shall be deemed to be a reference to a Call Option or an Option, as context requires.

THE AGREEMENT, THIS MASTER CONFIRMATION AND EACH CONFIRMATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CHOICE OF LAW DOCTRINE (OTHER THAN TITLE 14 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS.

The Transactions under this Master Confirmation shall be the sole Transactions under the Agreement. If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Bank and Issuer or any confirmation or other agreement between Bank and Issuer pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Bank and Issuer, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Bank and Issuer are parties, the Transactions under this Master Confirmation and the Agreement shall not be considered Transactions under, or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement.

1. In the event of any inconsistency between this Master Confirmation, on the one hand, and the Definitions or the Agreement, on the other hand, this Master Confirmation will control for the purpose of the Transaction to which a Confirmation relates. In the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions, the Agreement and this Master Confirmation, on the one hand, and a Confirmation, on the other hand, the Confirmation will govern. With respect to a Transaction, capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction.

2. Each party will make each payment specified in this Master Confirmation or a Confirmation as being payable by such party, not later than the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified below or otherwise specified in writing, in freely transferable funds and in a manner customary for payments in the required currency.

 


3. Confirmations and General Terms :

This Master Confirmation and the Agreement, together with the Confirmation relating to a Transaction, shall constitute the written agreement between Issuer and Bank with respect to such Transaction. Each Transaction to which a Confirmation relates is a Warrant Transaction, which shall be considered a Share Option Transaction for purposes of the Definitions, and shall have the following terms:

 

Components:    Each Transaction will be divided into individual Components, each with the terms set forth in this Master Confirmation and the related Confirmation, and, in particular, with the Number of Warrants and Expiration Date set forth in the Confirmation for such Transaction. The valuation and exercise of the Warrants and the payments and deliveries to be made upon settlement of each Transaction will be determined separately for each Component of such Transaction as if each Component were a separate Transaction under the Agreement.

Buyer:    Bank
Shares:    The common stock, USD.50 par value per share, of Issuer (Symbol: SFD).

Number of Warrants:    For each Component, as set forth in the Confirmation for such Transaction.

4. Procedure for Exercise and Valuation :

In respect of any Component:

 

Expiration Time:    The Valuation Time
Expiration Dates:    As set forth in the Confirmation for such Transaction for such Component (or, if such date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the next following Scheduled Trading Day that is not already an Expiration Date for another Component); provided that if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such Component shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day and is not or is not deemed to be an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component of a Transaction hereunder; and provided , further , that if the Expiration Date has not occurred pursuant to the preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption Date, the Final Disruption Date shall be deemed the Expiration Date (irrespective of whether such date is an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component for a Transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Expiration Date, the Calculation Agent may determine that such Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the number of Warrants for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Expiration Date and shall designate the Scheduled Trading Day determined in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence as the Expiration Date for the remaining Warrants for such Component. Section 6.6 of the Definitions shall not apply to any Valuation Date occurring on an Expiration Date.
Automatic Exercise:    Applicable. The Warrants for any Component shall be deemed automatically exercised at the Expiration Time on the Expiration Date for such Component if at such time the Warrants are In-the-Money; provided that all references in Section 3.4(b) of the Definitions to “Physical Settlement” shall be read as references to “Net Share Settlement.” “ In-the-Money ” means, for any Transaction, that the Reference Price is greater than the Strike Price for such Transaction.
Reference Price:    For any Valuation Date, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page SFD.N <equity> AQR (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time to the Scheduled Closing Time (New York City time) on such Valuation Date (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent).

   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Definitions, if there is a Market Disruption Event on any Valuation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Reference Price for such Valuation Date on the basis of its good faith estimate of the market value for the relevant Shares on such Valuation Date.
Valuation Time:    As defined in Section 6.1 of the Definitions
Valuation Date:    Each Exercise Date
Final Disruption Date:    For any Transaction, the eighth Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the scheduled Expiration Date for the last Component of such Transaction.

   Section 6.3(d) of the Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

5. Settlement Terms :

In respect of any Component:

 

Settlement Method    Net Share Settlement
Net Share Settlement:    On each Settlement Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a number of Shares equal to the Net Share Amount for such Settlement Date to the account specified by Buyer and cash in lieu of any fractional shares valued at the Reference Price for the Valuation Date corresponding to such Settlement Date. If, Buyer reasonably and in good faith determines based on advice of counsel that, for any reason, the Shares deliverable upon Net Share Settlement would not be immediately freely transferable by Buyer under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), then Buyer may elect to either (x) accept delivery of such Shares notwithstanding any restriction on transfer or (y) have the provisions set forth in Section 12(c) below apply.
Net Share Amount:    For any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrants being exercised or deemed exercised on the Exercise Date corresponding to such Settlement Date, (ii) the excess, if any, of the Reference Price for the Valuation Date corresponding to such Settlement Date over the Strike Price for the relevant Transaction (such product, the “ Net Share Settlement Amount ”), and (iii) the Warrant Entitlement, divided by such Reference Price.

Settlement Currency:    USD
Representation and Agreement:    To the extent Seller is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Definitions will be applicable as if Physical Settlement were applicable to the Transaction; provided that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising as a result of the fact that Issuer is the issuer of the Shares.
Maximum Delivery Amount:    As set forth in the Confirmation for such Transaction

6. Dividends :

In respect of any Component:

Tender Offer:    Applicable; provided that if an event occurs that constitutes both a Tender Offer under Section 12.1(d) of the Definitions and an Additional Termination Event under Section 12(f) of this Master Confirmation, Bank may elect, in its commercially reasonable judgment, whether the provisions of Section 12.3 of the Definitions or Section 12(f) of this Master Confirmation will apply.
