    a New  York corporation (the "Purchaser") and  a wholly owned subsidiary 
    of Pro-Fac Cooperative, Inc., a New York  cooperative corporation 
    ("Pro-Fac"), pursuant to which AHI agreed, subject to certain conditions,
    to  tender pursuant  to  the tender  offer by Purchaser for all shares 
    of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, par value $.99  per 
    share  (collectively, the "Shares"),  of Curtice-Burns  Foods, Inc. 
    (the "Company"), to  tender  all such  Shares owned  by  it within  five

    applicable law and the  terms and conditions of the  Stockholder 
    Agreement, to not withdraw  such Shares.  AHI holds 899,447 Shares and  
    2,036,643 Shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common  Stock,

    A Common  Stock for payment pursuant  to the Offer unless  it accepts 
    at least 44%  of the  Shares  of Class  A   Common  Stock then  out-
    standing  (not including  any Shares of Class  A Common Stock  held by 
    AHI).   Similarly, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to purchase AHI 
    Shares under the Option unless it shall have accepted for payment,  or 
    shall be simultaneiouly accepting  for payment, at  least 44% of the 
    Shares of  Class A Common Stock then outstanding (not including any  
    Shares of Class A  Common Stock held by AHI).   Pro-Fac has separately
