(c) Narrative Description of Business

(1) Business Done and Intended to be Done by the Registrant

(i) Principal Products and Services

Pork Division - Seaboard, through its subsidiary Seaboard Foods LLC, previously Seaboard Farms, Inc., engages in the businesses of hog production and pork processing in the United States. Through these operations, Seaboard produces and sells fresh and frozen pork products to further processors, foodservice operators, grocery stores, distributors and retail outlets throughout the United States. Internationally, Seaboard sells to distributors and further processors in Japan, Mexico and other foreign markets. Other further processing companies also purchase Seaboard's fresh and frozen pork products in bulk and produce products, such as lunchmeat, ham, bacon, and sausage. Fresh pork, such as loins, tenderloins and ribs are sold to distributors and grocery stores. Seaboard also sells further processed pork products consisting primarily of raw and pre-cooked bacon from its two bacon further processing plants. Seaboard sells some of its fresh products under the brand name Prairie Fresh and its bacon and other further processed products under the Daily's brand name. Seaboard's hog processing plant is located in Guymon, Oklahoma, and operates at double shift capacity. Seaboard's bacon plants are located in Salt Lake City, Utah and Missoula, Montana. Seaboard also earns fees, based primarily on the number of head processed, to market all of the products produced by Triumph Foods LLC at their pork processing plant located in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Seaboard's hog production operations consist of the breeding and raising of approximately 4.0 million hogs annually at facilities primarily owned or at facilities owned and operated by third parties with whom it has grower contracts. The hog production operations are located in the States of Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Colorado. As a part of the hog production operations, Seaboard produces specially formulated feed for the hogs at six owned feed mills. The remaining hogs processed are purchased from third party hog producers, primarily pursuant to purchase contracts.

In the second quarter of 2008, Seaboard commenced production of biodiesel at a new facility constructed in Guymon, Oklahoma. The biodiesel is produced from pork fat from Seaboard's Guymon pork processing plant and from animal fat supplied by non-Seaboard facilities. The biodiesel is sold to a third party. The facility can also produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Seaboard is able to reduce or stop production when it isn't economically feasible to produce based on input costs or the price of biodiesel. Also during 2008, Seaboard entered into an agreement to build and operate a majority- owned ham-boning and processing plant in Mexico. The plant is currently expected to be completed in the first half of 2009.

Commodity Trading and Milling Division - Seaboard's Commodity Trading and Milling Division, primarily through its subsidiaries, Seaboard Overseas Limited based in Bermuda, Seaboard Overseas Trading and Shipping (PTY), Ltd. located in South Africa, and SeaRice Limited located in Geneva, Switzerland markets wheat, corn, soybean meal, rice and other similar commodities in bulk to third party customers and affiliated companies. These commodities are purchased from most growing regions worldwide, with primary destinations being Africa, South


America, and the Caribbean. The division sources, transports and markets approximately 4.2 million tons of grains and proteins on an annual basis. Seaboard integrates the service of delivering commodities to its customers through the use of chartered bulk vessels and its eight owned bulk carriers.

This division also operates milling and related businesses with 25 locations in 12 countries, which are primarily supplied by the trading locations discussed above. The grain processing businesses are operated through four consolidated and nine non-consolidated affiliates in Africa, the Caribbean and South America. These are flour, feed and maize milling businesses which produce approximately two and a half million metric tons of finished products per year. Most of the products produced by the milling operations are sold in the countries in which the products are produced or into adjacent countries.

Marine Division - Seaboard, through its subsidiary, Seaboard Marine Limited, and various foreign affiliated companies and third party agents, provides containerized cargo shipping service to 25 countries between the United States, the Caribbean Basin, and Central and South America. Seaboard uses a network of offices and agents throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean Basin to book both northbound and southbound cargo to and from the United States and between the countries it serves. Through agreements with a network of connecting carriers, Seaboard can transport cargo to and from numerous U.S. locations by either truck or rail to and from one of its U.S. port locations, where it is staged for export via vessel or received as import cargo from abroad.

Seaboard's primary marine operation is located in Miami and includes a 81 acre terminal located at the Port of Miami and a 135,000 square foot off-dock warehouse for cargo consolidation and temporary storage. Seaboard also operates a 62 acre cargo terminal facility at the Port of Houston that includes approximately 690,000 square feet of on-dock warehouse space for temporary storage of bagged grains, resins and other cargoes. Seaboard also makes scheduled vessel calls in Brooklyn, New York, Fernandina Beach, Florida, New Orleans, Louisiana and 40 foreign ports. At December 31, 2008, Seaboard's fleet consists of 12 owned and approximately 27 chartered vessels, and approximately 55,000 dry, refrigerated and specialized containers and units of related equipment.

Sugar and Citrus Division - Seaboard, through its subsidiary, Ingenio y Refineria San Martin del Tabacal and other Argentine non-consolidated affiliates, is involved in the production and refining of sugar cane and the production and processing of citrus in Argentina. This division also purchases sugar and citrus in bulk from third parties within Argentina for subsequent resale. The sugar products are primarily sold in Argentina, primarily to retailers, soft drink manufacturers, and food manufacturers, with some exports to the United States, South America and Europe while the citrus products are primarily exported to the global market. Seaboard grows a large portion of the sugar cane on more than 60,000 acres of land it owns in northern Argentina. The cane is processed at an owned mill, with a current processing capacity of approximately 230,000 metric tons of sugar and approximately 13 million gallons of alcohol per year. The sugar mill is one of the largest in Argentina. During the second quarter of 2008, construction on the alcohol distillery operation was completed, which increased the alcohol production capacity from approximately four million gallons to approximately 13 million gallons per year. In addition, approximately 3,000 acres of Seaboard's land in northern Argentina is planted with orange trees. Also, during 2008 this division began construction of a 40 megawatt cogeneration power plant, which is expected to be completed in 2010.

All Other Businesses- All other businesses primarily represents the business of Seaboard's subsidiary, Transcontinental Capital Corp. (Bermuda) Ltd. (the Power Division), which operates as an independent power producer in the Dominican Republic. This operation is exempt from U.S. regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1938, as amended. The Power Division operates two floating barges with a system of diesel engines capable of generating a combined rated capacity of approximately 112 megawatts of electricity. See "Status of Product or Segment" below for discussion of the pending sale of the two barges. Seaboard generates electricity into the local Dominican Republic power grid. Seaboard is not directly involved in the transmission or distribution of the electricity but does have contracts to sell directly to third party users. The barges are secured on the Ozama River in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The electricity is sold at contracted pricing to certain large commercial users with contract terms extending from one to four years. Seaboard also sells approximately 40% of its power under a short-term contract to a government-owned distribution company. The remaining electricity is sold in the "spot market" at prevailing market prices, primarily to three wholly or partially government-owned electric distribution companies or other power producers who lack sufficient power production to service their customers.


The information required by Item 1 of Form 10-K with respect to the amount or percentage of total revenue contributed by any class of similar products or services which account for 10 percent or more of consolidated revenue in any of the last three fiscal years is set forth in Note 13 of Seaboard's Consolidated Financial Statements, appearing on pages 56 through 59 of the Seaboard's Annual Report to Stockholders, furnished to the Commission pursuant to rule 14a-3(b) and attached as Exhibit 13 to this report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

(ii) Status of Product or Segment

In April 2008, the Pork Division entered into an agreement to build and operate a majority-owned ham-boning and processing plant in Mexico. This plant is expected to be completed in early 2009.

In the second quarter of 2008, the Pork Division commenced production of biodiesel at a new facility constructed in Guymon, Oklahoma. The biodiesel is produced from pork fat from Seaboard's Guymon pork processing plant and from animal fat supplied by non-Seaboard facilities. The biodiesel is sold to a third party. The facility can also produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. In addition, the Pork Division previously announced plans to expand its processed meats capabilities by constructing a separate further processing plant, primarily for bacon, or acquiring an existing facility. During the second quarter of 2008, Seaboard decided to indefinitely delay plans to expand its processed meats capabilities.

During 2007, the Pork Division constructed additional hog finishing space to allow hogs more time to reach the desired weight for processing at the Guymon plant. Additional hog finishing space was completed in 2008. During 2008, modifications were made to the Guymon plant that increased the daily double shift processing capacity from approximately 16,800 to 18,500 hogs.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, Seaboard ceased flour milling operations in Madagascar through the cancellation of the lease of two milling facilities. In addition, during 2008 Seaboard discontinued operations of its flour milling operations in Mozambique as a result of its Mozambican subsidiary entering into an agreement to exchange its flour milling facility for a ten percent ownership interest in a food processing company in that country. This exchange transaction is expected to be complete in the first half of 2009.

On May 30, 2008, the Marine Division entered into an Amended and Restated Terminal Agreement ("Amended Terminal Agreement") with Miami-Dade County ("County") for marine terminal operations pursuant to which Seaboard Marine renewed its existing Terminal Agreement with the County at the Port of Miami. The Amended Terminal Agreement will enable Seaboard Marine to continue its existing operations at the Port of Miami. The Amended Terminal Agreement has a term through September 30, 2028, with two five-year renewal options, the exercise of which are subject to certain conditions.

During 2007, Seaboard launched a plan to expand the sugar business in the Sugar & Citrus Division. As part of this plan, in 2007 Seaboard purchased land, planted an additional 15,000 acres of sugar cane and started expanding the alcohol distillery operations. The alcohol distillery expansion was completed in 2008. This expansion has raised sugar production from approximately 200,000 metric tons per year to approximately 230,000 metric tons per year and increased alcohol production capacity from approximately four million gallons per year to approximately 13 million gallons per year.

The Sugar and Citrus Division is in the process of developing a 40 megawatt cogeneration power plant. This plant is expected to be completed in 2010. In addition, management is reviewing its strategic options for the citrus business.

On March 2, 2009, an agreement became effective under which Seaboard will sell its two power barges in the Dominican Republic for $70.0 million, which will use such barges for private use. The agreement calls for the sale to occur on or around January 1, 2011. Seaboard will be responsible for the wind down and decommissioning costs of the barges. Completion of the sale is dependent upon the satisfaction of several conditions, including meeting certain baseline performance and emission tests. Failure to satisfy or cure any deficiencies could result in the agreement being terminated. Seaboard will retain all other physical properties of its power generation business, and is considering options to continue its power business in the Dominican Republic after the sale of these assets is completed.


(iii) Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

None of Seaboard's businesses utilize material amounts of raw materials that are dependent on purchases from one supplier or a small group of dominant suppliers.

(iv) Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions

Seaboard uses the registered trademark of Seaboard.

The Pork Division uses registered trademarks relating to its products, including Seaboard Farms, Prairie Fresh, A Taste Like No Other, Daily's, Daily's Premium Meats Since 1893, High Plains Bioenergy, Prairie Fresh Prime, Seaboard Foods, Buffet Brand and Seaboard Farms, Inc. Seaboard considers the use of these trademarks important to the marketing and promotion of its pork products.

The Marine Division uses the trade name Seaboard Marine which is also a registered trademark. Seaboard believes there is significant recognition of the Seaboard Marine trademark in the industry and by many of its customers.

Part of the sales within the Sugar and Citrus Division are made under the Chango brand in Argentina, where this division operates. Local sales prices are affected by sugar import duties imposed by the Argentine government, which affects the volume of sugar imported to and exported from that market.

Seaboard's Power Division benefits from a tax exempt concession granted by the Dominican Republic government through 2012.

Patents, trademarks, franchises, licenses and concessions are not material to any of Seaboard's other divisions.

(v) Seasonal Business

Profits from processed pork are generally higher in the fall months. However, for both 2008 and 2007, elevated grain prices without a comparable increase in live hog prices, lowered profits from hog production offsetting the generally higher fall processing profits from previous years. Sugar prices in Argentina are generally lower during the typical sugarcane harvest period between June and November. Seaboard's other divisions are not seasonally dependent to any material extent.

(vi) Practices Relating to Working Capital Items

There are no unusual industry practices or practices of Seaboard relating to working capital items.

(vii) Depending on a Single Customer or Few Customers

Seaboard does not have sales to any one customer equal to ten percent or more of consolidated revenues. The Pork Division derives approximately 12 percent of its revenues from a few customers in Japan through one agent. The Power Division sells power in the Dominican Republic to a limited number of contract customers and on the spot market accessed primarily by three wholly or partially government-owned distribution companies. Approximately 40% of its power generation is provided for one government-owned distribution company under a short-term contract and for which Seaboard bears a concentrated credit risk as this customer, from time to time, has significant past due balances. No other division has sales to a few customers which, if lost, would have a material adverse effect on any such division or on Seaboard taken as a whole.

(viii) Backlog

Backlog is not material to Seaboard's businesses.

(ix) Government Contracts

No material portion of Seaboard's business involves government contracts.

(x) Competitive Conditions

Competition in Seaboard's Pork Division comes from a variety of national, international and regional producers and processors and is based primarily on product quality, customer service and price. According to recent publications by Successful Farming and Informa Economics, trade publications, Seaboard ranks as one of the nation's top five pork producers (based on sows in production) and top ten pork processors (based on daily processing capacity).


Seaboard's ocean liner service for containerized cargoes faces competition based on price, reliable sailing frequencies and customer service. Seaboard believes it is among the top five ranking ocean liner services for containerized cargoes in the Caribbean Basin based on cargo volume.

Seaboard's sugar business owns one of the largest sugar mills in Argentina and faces significant competition for sugar sales in the local Argentine market. Sugar prices in Argentina can fluctuate compared to world markets due to current Argentine government price protection policies.

Seaboard's Power Division is located in the Dominican Republic. Power generated by this division is sold on the spot market or to contract customers at prices primarily based on market conditions rather than cost-based rates.

(xi) Research and Development Activities

Seaboard conducts research and development activities focused on various aspects of Seaboard's vertically integrated pork processing system, including improving product quality, production processes, animal genetics, nutrition and health. Incremental costs incurred to perform these tests are expensed as incurred and are not material to operating results.

(xii) Environmental Compliance

Seaboard is subject to numerous Federal, state and local provisions relating to the environment which require the expenditure of funds in the ordinary course of business. Seaboard does not anticipate making expenditures for these purposes, which, in the aggregate would have a material or significant effect on Seaboard's financial condition or results of operations.

(xiii) Number of Persons Employed by Registrant

As of December 31, 2008, Seaboard, excluding non-consolidated foreign affiliates, had 10,734 employees, of whom 5,714 were employed in the United States. Approximately 2,000 employees in Seaboard's Pork Division were covered by collective bargaining agreements as of December 31, 2008. Seaboard considers its employee relations to be satisfactory.

(d) Financial Information about Geographic Areas

In addition to the narrative disclosure provided below, the financial information relating to export sales required by Item 1 of Form 10-K is incorporated herein by reference to Note 13 of Seaboard's Consolidated Financial Statements appearing on pages 56 through 59 of Seaboard's Annual Report to Stockholders furnished to the Commission pursuant to Rule 14a-3(b) and attached as Exhibit 13 to this report.

Seaboard considers its relations with the governments of the countries in which its foreign subsidiaries and affiliates are located to be satisfactory, but these foreign operations are subject to risks of doing business in lesser-developed countries which are subject to potential civil unrests and government instabilities, increasing the exposure to potential expropriation, confiscation, war, insurrection, civil strife and revolution, sales price controls, currency inconvertibility and devaluation, and currency exchange controls. To minimize certain of these risks, Seaboard has insured certain investments in its affiliate flour mills in Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Lesotho, Republic of Congo and Zambia, to the extent available and deemed appropriate against certain of these risks with the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, an agency of the United States Government. At the date of this report, Seaboard is not aware of any situations which could have a material effect on Seaboard's business.

(e) Available Information

Seaboard electronically files with the Commission annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The public may read and copy any materials filed with the Commission at their public reference room located at 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Seaboard has identified important risks and uncertainties that could affect the results of operations, financial condition or business and that could cause them to differ materially from Seaboard's historical results of operations, financial condition or business, or those contemplated by forward-looking statements made herein or elsewhere, by, or on behalf of, Seaboard. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those factors described below.

(a) General

(1) Seaboard's Operations are Subject to the General Risks of the Food Industry. The divisions of the business that are in the food products manufacturing industry are subject to the risks posed by:

- food spoilage or food contamination;

- evolving consumer preferences and nutritional and health- related concerns;

- federal, state and local food processing controls;

- consumer product liability claims;

- product tampering;

- the possible unavailability and/or expense of liability insurance.

If one or more of these risks were to materialize, Seaboard's revenues could decrease, costs of doing business could increase, and Seaboard's operating results could be adversely affected.

(2) Foreign Political and Economic Conditions Have a Significant Impact on Seaboard's Business. Seaboard is a diverse agribusiness and transportation company with global operations in several industries. Most of the sales and costs of Seaboard's divisions are significantly influenced by worldwide fluctuations in commodity prices or changes in foreign political and economic conditions. Accordingly, sales, operating income and cash flows can fluctuate significantly from year to year. In addition, Seaboard's international activities pose risks not faced by companies that limit themselves to United States markets. These risks include:

- changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

- foreign currency exchange controls;

- changes in a specific country's or region's political or economic conditions, particularly in emerging markets;

- hyperinflation;

- heightened customer credit risk;

- tariffs, other trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;

- potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws;

- different legal and regulatory structures and unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements; and

- negative perception within a foreign country of a United States company doing business in that foreign country.

Seaboard cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in competing effectively in international markets.

(3) Deterioration of Economic Conditions Could Negatively Impact Seaboard's Business. Seaboard's business may be adversely affected by changes in national or global economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates, availability of capital markets, consumer spending rates, energy availability and costs and the effects of governmental initiatives to manage economic conditions. Any such changes could adversely affect the demand for our pork products, grains and shipping services, or the cost and availability of our needed raw materials and packaging materials, thereby negatively affecting our financial results. The recent disruptions in credit and other financial markets and deterioration of national and global economic conditions, could, among other things:

- impair the financial condition of some of our customers and suppliers thereby increasing customer bad debts or non-performance by customers and suppliers;

- negatively impact global demand for protein products, which could result in a reduction of sales, operating income and cash flows;


- decrease the value of our investments in equity and debt securities, including pension plan assets; and

- impair the financial viability of our insurers.

(4) Ocean Transportation Has Inherent Risks. Seaboard's owned and chartered vessels along with related cargoes are at risk of being damaged or lost because of events such as:

- marine disasters;

- bad weather;

- mechanical failures;

- grounding, fire, explosions and collisions;

- human error; and

- war and terrorism.

All of these hazards can result in death or injury to persons, loss of property, environmental damages, delays or rerouting. If one of Seaboard's vessels were involved in an accident, the resulting media coverage could have a material adverse effect on Seaboard's business, financial condition and results of operations.

(5) Seaboard's Common Stock is Thinly Traded and Subject to Daily Price Fluctuations. The common stock of Seaboard is closely held (72.1% is owned by Seaboard Flour, which is owned by S. Bresky and other members of the Bresky family) and thinly traded on a daily basis on the NYSE Alternext US (formerly, American Stock Exchange). Accordingly, the price of a share of common stock can fluctuate more significantly from day-to- day than a widely held stock that is actively traded on a daily basis.

(b) Pork Division

(1) Fluctuations in Commodity Pork Prices Could Adversely Affect Seaboard's Results of Operations. Sale prices for Seaboard's pork products are directly affected by both domestic and world wide supply and demand for pork products and other proteins, all of which are determined by constantly changing market forces of supply and demand as well as other factors over which Seaboard has little or no control. Commodity pork prices demonstrate a cyclical nature over periods of years, reflecting changes in the supply of fresh pork and competing proteins on the market, especially beef and chicken. Seaboard's results of operations could be adversely affected by fluctuations in pork commodity prices.

(2) Increases in Costs of Seaboard's Feed Components and Hog Purchases Could Adversely Affect Seaboard's Costs and Operating Margins. Feed costs are the most significant single component of the cost of raising hogs and can be materially affected by commodity price fluctuations for corn and soybean meal. The results of Seaboard's Pork Division can be negatively affected by increased costs of Seaboard's feed components. The recent increase in construction of ethanol plants has elevated this risk as it has increased the competing demand for feed ingredients, primarily corn. Similarly, accounting for approximately 25% of Seaboard's total hogs slaughtered, the cost of third party hogs purchased fluctuates with market conditions and can have an impact on Seaboard's total costs. The cost and supply of feed components and the third party hogs that we purchase are determined by constantly changing market forces of supply and demand, which are driven by matters over which we have no control, including weather, current and projected worldwide grain stocks and prices, grain export prices and supports and governmental agricultural policies. Seaboard attempts to manage certain of these risks through the use of financial instruments, however this may also limit its ability to participate in gains from favorable commodity fluctuations. Unless wholesale pork prices correspondingly increase, increases in the prices of Seaboard's feed components or in the cost of third party hogs purchased would adversely affect Seaboard's operating margins.

(3) Seaboard's Ability to Obtain Appropriate Personnel at Remote Locations is Important to Seaboard's Business. The remote locations of the pork processing plant and live hog operations, the lack of immigration reform could negatively affect the availability and cost of labor. Seaboard is dependent on having sufficient properly trained operations personnel. Attracting and retaining qualified personnel is important to Seaboard's success. The inability to acquire and retain the services of such personnel could have a material adverse effect on Seaboard's operations.

(4) The Loss of Seaboard's Sole Hog Processing Facility Could Adversely Affect Seaboard's Business. Seaboard's Pork Division is largely dependent on the continued operation of a single hog processing facility. The loss of or damage to this facility for any reason-including fire, tornado, governmental action or other reason-could adversely affect Seaboard and Seaboard's pork business.


(5) Environmental Regulation and Related Litigation Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Seaboard. Seaboard's operations and properties are subject to extensive and increasingly stringent laws and regulations pertaining to, among other things, odors, the discharge of materials into the environment and the handling and disposition of wastes (including solid and hazardous wastes) or otherwise relating to protection of the environment. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations and any future changes to them may result in significant consequences to Seaboard, including civil and criminal penalties, liability for damages and negative publicity. Some requirements applicable to Seaboard may also be enforced by citizen groups. Seaboard has incurred, and will continue to incur, operating expenditures to comply with these laws and regulations.

(6) Health Risk to Livestock Could Adversely Affect Production, the Supply of Raw Materials and Seaboard's Business. Seaboard is subject to risks relating to its ability to maintain animal health and control diseases. The general health of the hogs and the reproductive performance of the sows can have an adverse impact on production and production costs, the supply of raw material to Seaboard's pork processing operations and consumer confidence. If Seaboard's hogs are affected by disease, Seaboard may be required to destroy infected livestock, which could adversely affect Seaboard's production or ability to sell or export its products. Moreover, the herd health of third party suppliers could adversely affect the supply and cost of hogs available for purchase by Seaboard. Adverse publicity concerning any disease or health concern could also cause customers to lose confidence in the safety and quality of Seaboard's food products.

(7) If Seaboard's Pork Products Become Contaminated, We May be Subject to Product Liability Claims and Product Recalls. Pork products may be subject to contamination by disease producing organisms. These organisms are generally found in the environment and as a result, regardless of the manufacturing practices employed, there is a risk that they as a result of food processing could be present in Seaboard's processed pork products. Once contaminated products have been shipped for distribution, illness and death may result if the organisms are not eliminated at the further processing, foodservice or consumer level. Even an inadvertent shipment of contaminated products is a violation of law and may lead to increased risk of exposure to product liability claims, product recalls and increased scrutiny by federal and state regulatory agencies and may have a material adverse effect on Seaboard's business, reputation, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

(8) Corporate Farming Legislation Could Result in the Divestiture or Restructuring of Seaboard's Pork Operations. The development of large corporate farming operations and concentration of hog production in larger-scale facilities has engendered opposition from residents of states in which Seaboard conducts its pork processing and live hog operations. From time-to-time, corporate farming legislation has been introduced in the United States Senate and House of Representatives, as well as in several state legislatures. These proposed anti-corporate farming bills have included provisions to prohibit or restrict meat packers, such as Seaboard, from owning or controlling livestock intended for slaughter, which would require divestiture or restructuring of Seaboard's operations.

(9) International Trade Barriers Could Adversely Affect Seaboard's Pork Operations. This division realizes a significant portion of its revenues from international markets, particularly Japan and Mexico. International sales are subject to risks related to general economic conditions, imposition of tariffs, quotas, trade barriers and other restrictions, enforcement of remedies in foreign jurisdictions and compliance with applicable foreign laws, and other economic and political uncertainties. These and other risks could result in border closings or other international trade barriers having an adverse effect on Seaboard's earnings.

(10) Discontinuation of Tax Credits for Biodiesel Could Adversely Affect Seaboard's Results of Operations. Seaboard will obtain Federal and State tax credits for the biodiesel it produces and sells. The Federal tax credit is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2009, and if not renewed could adversely affect Seaboard's results of operations and could result in the potential impairment of the recorded value of property, plant and equipment related to the biodiesel processing facility.

(11) Operations of Biodiesel Production Facility. The profitability of Seaboard's biodiesel plant could be adversely affected by various factors, including the market price of pork and other animal fat which is utilized to produce biodiesel, and the market price for biodiesel. Unfavorable changes in these prices over extended periods of time could adversely affect Seaboard's results of operations and could result in the potential impairment of the recorded value of the property, plant and equipment related to this facility.

(c) Commodity Trading & Milling Division

(1) Seaboard's Commodity & Milling Division is Subject to Risks Associated with Foreign Operations. This division principally operates in Africa, Bermuda, South America and the Caribbean and, in most cases, in what are generally


regarded to be lesser developed countries. Many of these foreign operations are subject to risks of doing business in lesser-developed countries which are subject to potential civil unrests and government instabilities, increasing the exposure to potential expropriation, confiscation, war, insurrection, civil strife and revolution, currency inconvertibility and devaluation, and currency exchange controls, in addition to the risks of overseas operations mentioned in clause (a)(2) above. In addition, foreign government policies and regulations could restrict the purchase of various grains, reducing or limiting Seaboard's ability to access grains or to limit Seaboard's sales price for grains sold in local markets.

(2) Fluctuations in Commodity Grain Prices Could Adversely Affect the Business of Seaboard's Commodity & Milling Division. This division's sales are significantly affected by fluctuating worldwide prices for various commodities, such as wheat, corn, soybeans and rice. These prices are determined by constantly changing market forces of supply and demand as well as other factors over which Seaboard has little or no control. North American and European subsidized wheat and flour exports, including donated food aid, and world-wide and local crop production can contribute to these fluctuating market conditions and can have a significant impact on the trading and milling businesses' sales, value of commodities held in inventory and operating income. The current unprecedented volatility of grain prices increase certain business risks including holding high priced inventory or the potential for reduced sales volumes. These risks can increase if governments impose sale price controls or seek to preserve local food supply by banning exports, if grain prices fall significantly and competitors hold lower priced positions, or if customers default, which could result in write-downs of inventory values and an increase in bad debts. Seaboard's results of operations could be adversely affected by fluctuations in commodity prices.

(3) Seaboard's Commodity & Milling Division Largely Depends on the Availability of Chartered Ships. Most of Seaboard's third party trading is transported with chartered ships. Charter hire rates, influenced by available charter capacity and demand for worldwide trade in bulk cargoes, and related fuel costs can impact business volumes and margins.

(4) This Division Uses a Material Amount of Derivative Products to Manage Certain Market Risks. The commodity trading portion of the business enters into various commodity derivatives, foreign exchange derivatives and freight derivatives to create what management believes is an economic hedge for commodity trades it executes or intends to execute with its customers. From time to time, this portion of the business may enter into speculative derivative transactions related to its market risks. Failure to execute or improper execution of a derivative position or a firmly committed sale or purchase contract, a speculative transaction that closes without the desired result or exposure to counter party risk could have an adverse impact on the results of operations and liquidity.

(5) This Division is Subject to Higher than Normal Risks for Attracting and Retaining Key Personnel. In the commodity trading environment, a loss of a key employee such as a commodity trader can have a negative impact resulting from the loss of revenues as personal customer relationships can be vital to obtaining and retaining business with various foreign customers. In the milling portion of this division, employing and retaining qualified expatriate personnel is a key element of success given the difficult living conditions, the unique operating environments and the reliance on a relatively small number of executives to manage each individual location.

(d) Marine Division

(1) The Demand for Seaboard's Marine Division's Services Are Affected by International Trade and Fluctuating Freight Rates. This division provides containerized cargo shipping services primarily from the United States to over twenty-five different countries in the Caribbean Basin, and Central and South America. In addition to the risks of overseas operations mentioned in clause (a)(2) above, fluctuations in economic conditions, unstable or hostile local political situations in the countries in which Seaboard operates can affect import/ export trade volumes and the price of container freight rates and adversely affect Seaboard's results of operations.

(2) Chartered Ships Are Subject to Fluctuating Rates. The largest expense for this division is typically time charter cost. Certain of the ships are under charters longer than one year while others are less than one year. These costs can vary greatly due to a number of factors including the worldwide supply and demand for shipping. It is not possible to determine in advance whether a charter contract for more or less than one year will be favorable to Seaboard's business. Accordingly, entering into long-term charter hire contracts during periods of decreasing charter hire costs or short term charter hire contracts during periods of increasing charter hire costs could have an adverse effect on Seaboard's results of operation.


(3) Fuel Prices Can Adversely Affect Seaboard's Business. Ship fuel expenses are one of the division's largest expenses. These costs can vary greatly from year-to-year depending on world fuel prices. Also, but to a lesser extent, fuel price increases can impact the cost of inland transportation costs.

(4) Hurricanes Can Disrupt Operations in the Caribbean Basin. Seaboard's port operations throughout the Caribbean Basin can be subject to disruption due to hurricanes, especially at Seaboard's major ports in Miami, Florida and Houston, Texas, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations

(5) Seaboard is Subject to Complex Laws and Regulations that Can Adversely Affect the Revenues, Cost, Manner or Feasibility of Doing Business. Federal, state and local laws and domestic and international regulations governing worker health and safety, environmental protection, port and terminal security, and the operation of vessels significantly affect Seaboard's operations, including rate discussions and other related arrangements. Many aspects of the marine industry, including rate agreements, are subject to extensive governmental regulation by the Federal Maritime Commission, the U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and to regulation by private industry organizations. Compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards may require installation of costly equipment or operational changes, while the failure to comply may result in administrative and civil penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or termination of Seaboard's operations or detention of its vessels. In addition, future changes in laws, regulations and standards, including allowed freight rate discussions and other related arrangements, may result in additional costs or a reduction in revenues.

(e) Sugar and Citrus Division

(1) The Success of this Division Depends on the Condition of the Argentinean Economy and Political Climate. This division operates a sugar mill and alcohol production facility in Argentina, locally growing a substantial portion of the sugar cane processed at the mill. In addition, this division also grows oranges in Argentina. The majority of the sales are within Argentina. Fluctuations in economic conditions or changes in the Argentine political climate can have an impact on the costs of operations, the sale price of products and export opportunities and the exchange rate of the Argentine peso to the U.S. dollar. In this regard, local sale prices are affected by sugar import duties imposed by the Argentine government, which affects the volume of sugar imported to and exported from that market. If import duties are changed, this could have a negative impact on Seaboard's sale price of sugar. In addition, the Argentine government attempts to control inflation through price controls on commodities, including sugar, which could adversely impact the local sales price of sugar and the results of operations for this division. A devaluation of the Argentine peso would have a negative impact on Seaboard's financial position.

(2) This Division is Subject to the Risks that Are Inherent in any Agricultural Business. Seaboard's results of operations for this division may be adversely affected by numerous factors over which we have little or no control and that are inherent in any agricultural business, including reductions in the market prices for Seaboard's products, adverse weather and growing conditions, pest and disease problems, and new government regulations regarding agriculture and the marketing of agricultural products. Of these risks, weather particularly can adversely affect the amount and quality of the sugar cane produced by Seaboard and Seaboard's competitors located in other regions of Argentina.

(3) The Loss of Seaboard's Sole Processing Facility Would Adversely Affect the Business of This Division. Seaboard's Sugar and Citrus Division is largely dependant on the continued operation of a single processing facility. The loss of or damage to this facility for any reason - including fire, tornado, governmental action, labor unrest resulting in labor strikes or other reasons - would adversely affect the business of this division.

(f) Power Division

(1) This Division is Subject to Risks of Doing Business in the Dominican Republic. This division operates in the Dominican Republic (DR). In addition to significant currency fluctuations and the other risks of overseas operations mentioned in clause (a)(2) above, this division can experience difficulty in obtaining timely collections of trade receivables from the government partially-owned distribution companies or other companies that must also collect from the government in order to make payments on their accounts. Currently, the DR does not allow a free market to enable prices to rise with demand which would limit our profitability in this business. The government has the ability to arbitrarily decide which power units will be able to operate, which could have adverse effects on results of operations.


(2) Increases in Fuel Costs Could Adversely Affect Seaboard's Operating Margins. Fuel is the largest cost component of this division's business and, therefore, margins may be adversely affected by fluctuations in fuel if such increases can not be fully passed to customers.

(3) Ability to Meet Obligations Under Asset Sale Agreement. Seaboard's agreement to sell its Dominican Republic barges requires that they meet certain performance standards at closing, which if not met will result in Seaboard being in breach of the agreement which could result in Seaboard incurring significant damages.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None

Item 2. Properties

(1) Pork - Seaboard's Pork Division owns a hog processing plant in Guymon, Oklahoma, which opened in 1995. It has a daily double shift capacity to process approximately 18,500 hogs and generally operates at capacity with additional weekend shifts depending on market conditions. The plant is utilized at near capacity throughout the year. In 2008, the Pork division made modifications to this facility that increased daily double shift capacity from approximately 16,800 hogs to 18,500 hogs. Seaboard's hog production operations consist of the breeding and raising of approximately 4.0 million hogs annually at facilities it primarily owns or at facilities owned and operated by third parties with whom it has grower contracts. This business owns and operates six centrally located feed mills which have a combined capacity to produce approximately 1,700,000 tons of formulated feed annually used primarily to support Seaboard's existing hog production, and has the capability of supporting additional hog production in the future. These facilities are located in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Colorado.

Seaboard's Pork Division also owns two bacon further processing plants located in Salt Lake City, Utah and Missoula, Montana. These plants are utilized near capacity throughout the year, which is a combined daily smoking capacity of approximately 300,000 pounds of raw pork bellies.

The Pork Division owns a processing plant in Guymon, Oklahoma with the capacity to produce 30.0 million gallons of biodiesel annually, which is currently produced from pork fat from Seaboard's Guymon pork processing plant and from animal fat supplied by non-Seaboard facilities. The facility can also produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Construction of this plant was completed in the second quarter of 2008. Also during 2008, Seaboard entered into an agreement to build and operate a majority-owned ham-boning and processing plant in Mexico. The plant is currently expected to be completed in the first half of 2009.

(2) Commodity Trading and Milling - Seaboard's Commodity Trading and Milling Division owns, in whole or in part, grain-processing and related agribusiness operations in 12 countries which have the capacity to mill approximately 7,900 metric tons of wheat and maize per day. In addition, Seaboard has feed mill capacity of in excess of 129 metric tons per hour to produce formula animal feed. The milling operations located in Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ecuador, Guyana, Haiti, Kenya, Lesotho, Nigeria, Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Zambia own their facilities; and in Kenya, Lesotho, Mozambique, Nigeria, Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone the land on which the mills are located on is leased under long-term agreements. Certain foreign milling operations may operate at less than full capacity due to low demand related to poor consumer purchasing power, excess milling capacity in their competitive environment and European-subsidized wheat and flour exports. Seaboard also owns seven 9,000 metric-ton deadweight dry bulk carriers, one 23,400 metric ton deadweight dry bulk carrier, and "time charters" (the charter of a vessel, whereby the vessel owner is responsible to provide the captain and crew necessary to operate the vessel) under short-term agreements, between 13 and 29 bulk carrier ocean vessels with deadweights ranging from 2,000 to 44,000 metric tons.

(3) Marine - Seaboard's Marine Division leases a 135,000 square foot off-port warehouse and 81 acres of port terminal land and facilities in Miami, Florida which are used in its containerized cargo operations. Seaboard also leases an approximately 62 acre cargo handling and terminal facility in Houston, Texas, which includes several on-dock warehouses totaling approximately 690,000 square feet for cargo storage. At December 31, 2008, Seaboard owned 12 ocean cargo vessels with deadweights ranging from 2,600 to 19,500 metric tons and time chartered 27 vessels under contracts ranging from approximately one to two years with deadweights ranging from 3,400 to 21,500 metric tons. In addition, Seaboard has contracted to charter two vessels on a two-year time charter. Delivery of these two time chartered ships, each with a deadweight of 26,500 metric tons, is expected in the second half of 2009. Seaboard also owns or leases an aggregate of approximately 55,000 dry, refrigerated and specialized containers and units of related equipment.


(4) Sugar and Citrus - Seaboard's Argentine Sugar and Citrus Division owns more than 60,000 acres of planted sugarcane and approximately 3,000 acres of orange trees. Depending on local harvest and market conditions, this business also purchases third party sugar and citrus for resale. In addition, this division owns a sugar mill with a current capacity to process approximately 230,000 metric tons of sugar and approximately 13 million gallons of alcohol per year. This capacity is sufficient to process all of the cane harvested by this division and certain additional quantities harvested on behalf of the third party farmers in the region. The sugarcane fields and processing mill are located in northern Argentina in the Salta Province, which experiences seasonal rainfalls that may limit the harvest season, which then affects the duration of mill operations and quantities of sugar produced. During 2008, construction was completed on the alcohol distillery operation which increased the alcohol production capacity from approximately four million gallons to approximately 13 million gallons per year. During 2010, it is anticipated that construction will be completed on a 40 megawatt cogeneration power plant. This division also owns a juice processing plant and fresh fruit packaging plant with capacity to produce approximately 5,000 tons of concentrated juice and package approximately 400,000 boxes of fresh fruit annually.

(5) Other - Seaboard's Power Division owns two floating electric power generating facilities, consisting of a system of diesel engines mounted onto barge-type vessels, with a combined rated capacity of approximately 112 megawatts, both located on the Ozama River in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Seaboard operates as an independent power producer. Seaboard is not directly involved in the transmission and distribution facilities that deliver the power to the end users but does have contracts to sell directly to third party users. See "Status of Product or Segment" under Item 1 of this report for discussion of the pending sale of the two barges.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Seaboard's Board of Directors intends that Seaboard will continue to pay quarterly dividends, with the actual amount of any dividends being dependant upon such factors as Seaboard's financial condition, results of operations and current and anticipated cash needs, including capital requirements. As discussed in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements appearing on pages 46 and 47 of the Seaboard Corporation Annual Report to Stockholders furnished to the Commission pursuant to Rule 14a-3(b) and attached as Exhibit 13 to this Report (which discussion is incorporated herein by reference), Seaboard's ability to declare and pay dividends is subject to limitations imposed by the note agreements referred to there.

Seaboard has not established any equity compensation plans or individual agreements for its employees under which Seaboard common stock, or options, rights or warrants with respect to Seaboard common stock, may be granted.

The following table sets forth information concerning any purchases made by or on behalf of Seaboard or any "affiliated purchaser" (as defined by applicable rules of the Commission) of shares of Seaboard's common stock during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not applicable.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures - As of December 31, 2008, Seaboard's management has evaluated, under the direction of our chief executive and chief financial officers, the effectiveness of Seaboard's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act rule 13a - 15(e). Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, Seaboard's chief executive and chief financial officers concluded that Seaboard's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. It should be noted that any system of disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

Item 9B. Other Information

Seaboard Corporation ("Seaboard") and its subsidiary, Transcontinental Capital Corp. (Bermuda) Ltd. ("TCCB"), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among TCCB, as Seller, Seaboard, as Seller-Parent, and Pueblo Viejo Dominicana Corporation, as Buyer ("Pueblo Viejo"), dated September 23, 2008, which agreement was amended by that certain Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement among TCCB, Seaboard and Pueblo Viejo dated as of March 2, 2009 (collectively, the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, TCCB has agreed to sell to Pueblo Viejo its two power barges in the Dominican Republic for a purchase price of $70 million, which will use such barges for private use. The Agreement calls for the sale to occur at or around January 1, 2011. Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, which are expected to be met during March 2009, $15 million will be paid to TCCB and the $55 million balance of the purchase price will be paid into escrow and paid to TCCB at the closing of the sale. Seaboard will be responsible for the wind down and decommissioning costs of the barges. Completion of the sale is dependent upon several issues, including meeting certain baseline performance and emission tests. Failure to satisfy or cure any deficiencies could result in the Agreement being terminated. Seaboard could be responsible to pay liquidated damages of up to approximately $15 million should it fail to perform its obligations under the Agreement, after expiration of applicable cure and grace periods. Seaboard will retain all other physical properties of this business and is considering options to continue its power business in the Dominican Republic after the sale of these assets is completed.

SEABOARD CORPORATION
409A EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2009

ARTICLE I.
HISTORY AND PURPOSE

Seaboard Corporation (the "Company") adopted the Seaboard Corporation Executive Retirement Plan (the "Plan") originally effective January 1, 1994. The Plan was amended and restated in its entirety effective January 1, 1997 (the "1997 Plan"). The 1997 Plan continues to apply to certain employees and former employees of the Company, all of whose benefits under the 1997 Plan were frozen prior to January 1, 2005, and are governed by the 1997 Plan, which, as it applies to these participants, has not been materially modified after October 3, 2004.

The Plan was amended and restated in its entirety effective November 5, 2004, applicable to certain participants as provided therein, and was again amended and restated in its entirety effective January 1, 2005 for the primary purpose of complying with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code:). The Plan is now further amended and restated as provided herein effective January 1, 2009 for the purpose of simplifying administration of the Plan and for the purpose of complying with final Treasury regulations issued under Code Section 409A. The Participants in the Plan as of January 1, 2009 are listed on Addendum A attached hereto. Addendum A will be revised by the Company from time to time as appropriate.

The purpose of the Plan is to aid in retaining and attracting certain key employees of Seaboard Corporation and participating affiliated companies by providing to them supplemental retirement income. The Plan is intended to be an arrangement that is unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing supplemental retirement benefits to a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with this intent.

ARTICLE II.
DEFINITIONS

For the purpose of this Plan, the following words and phrases shall have the meaning indicated, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

2.1. Accrued Benefit means a Participant's benefit determined as of a particular time under the provisions of this Plan.

2.2. Actuarial Equivalent means a form of benefit differing in time, period or manner of payment from a specified payment form, but having equivalent value when computed using an interest rate of 8% per year compounded annually and the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table. It is the intent that at all times reasonable actuarial assumptions be used to determine an actuarial


equivalent form of benefit hereunder. Accordingly, the Committee is authorized to amend the Plan to change the actuarial assumptions under this Section 2.2 at any time deemed advisable by the Committee based upon the advice of the actuary providing actuarial services to the Plan. At any given time the same actuarial assumptions must be used for purposes of valuing each annuity option, and any change in actuarial assumptions must apply to all annuity options simultaneously.

2.3. Actuarial Value means the lump sum equivalent value of a Participant's Accrued Benefit payable at his Normal Retirement Date and determined by using (a) the annual interest rate on 30- year Treasury securities as specified by the Commissioner for the month of November preceding the Plan Year in which payment to the Participant is made, and (b) the applicable mortality table used for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Code
Section 417(e).

2.4. Board means the Board of Directors of Seaboard Corporation.

2.5. Change of Control means an event or transaction described below; provided, however, an event or transaction described below will not be a Change of Control for purposes of a payment event under the Plan unless it constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v):

(a) The acquisition by any unrelated person or entity of more than fifty percent (50%) of either the outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

(b) The sale to an unrelated person or entity of Company assets that have a total gross fair market value of more than eighty-five percent (85%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such sale;

(c) The acquisition, whether by reorganization, merger, consolidation, purchase or similar transaction, by any person or entity or more than one person or entity acting as a group of more than 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company or the entity in which the Company was reorganized, merged or consolidated into;

(d) The acquisition by any person or entity (other than by any descendant of Otto Bresky, Senior or any trust established primarily for the benefit of any descendant of Otto Bresky, Senior or any other related person or entity) of more than fifty percent (50%) of either the membership interests or the combined voting power of Seaboard Flour, LLC at any time when Seaboard Flour, LLC owns 50% or more of the Company.

If a Participant does not receive Earnings during a minimum of 60 whole months, Final Average Earnings shall be determined based upon the Participant's average monthly earnings for all months.

2.17. Inactive Participant means a Participant who is no longer accruing a benefit under the Plan because either (a) the President or a Senior Vice President of the Company has determined in his sole discretion that the Participant shall no longer accrue a benefit under the Plan because the Participant no longer satisfies criteria for participation as determined by the President or a Senior Vice President in his sole discretion, or (b) the Participant has had a Separation from Service.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Years of Accrual Service will not include any service for an entity occurring prior to the time the entity became a Related Company.

ARTICLE III.
PARTICIPATION

3.1. Participation Date. All persons who are Participants in the 2005 Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date will remain Participants as of the Effective Date, and the Participation Date of any such Participant is that date prior to the Effective Date that he became a Participant. An employee of the Company who is not a Participant on the Effective Date, and who is determined by the President of the Company to be a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, will become a Participant if he is designated as a Participant by the President of the Company. Such employee's Participation Date will be the date specified by the President of the Company. Commencement of participation does not guarantee any Participant continued active participation hereunder.

3.2. Cessation of Participation. A Participant will cease to be a Participant when he no longer has an Accrued Benefit.

3.3. Inactive Participants. An Inactive Participant will have a frozen Accrued Benefit hereunder. If at any time the frozen Accrued Benefit of an Inactive Participant is zero, then the Inactive Participant will no longer have an Accrued Benefit and will cease to be a Participant.

3.4. Participation not Contract of Employment. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and participation in the Plan will not give any Participant the right to continue in the employ of or provide services to the Company, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the employment of the Participant or give any right or claim to any benefit under the terms of the Plan unless such right or claim is specifically vested under the terms of the Plan.


ARTICLE IV.
RETIREMENT BENEFITS

4.1. Determination of Accrued Benefit. A Participant's Accrued Benefit is a benefit payable in the form of a single life annuity commencing on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date (or the Participant's Separation Date if later than his Normal Retirement Date) in an annual amount equal to the excess of (1) the sum of (a) (the "Pre-Participation Service Benefit") and (b) (the "Post-Participation Service Benefit") below, over (2) the sum of (c) (the "Pension Plan Offset"), and (d) (the "Prior Cash Payment Offset"); provided, however, in no event shall the Participant's Accrued Benefit be less than the amount of the Participant's Accrued Benefit immediately prior to the Effective Date.

(a) Pre-Participation Service Benefit. A Participant's Pre- Participation Service Benefit will be determined taking into account only the Participant's Years of Accrual Service as of his Participation Date ("Pre- Participation Years of Accrual Service") and will be an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) .65% of his Final Average Earnings multiplied by his Pre-Participation Years of Accrual Service; and

(ii) .50% of his Final Average Earnings in excess of Covered Compensation multiplied by his Pre- Participation Years of Accrual Service.

(b) Post-Participation Service Benefit. A Participant's Post-Participation Service Benefit will be determined taking into account the Participant's Years of Accrual Service after the Participant's Participation Date ("Post-Participation Years of Accrual Service") and will be an amount equal to 2.5% of his Final Average Earnings multiplied by his Post-Participation Years of Accrual Service.

(c) Pension Plan Offset. The amount of a Participant's Pension Plan Offset is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant's accrued benefit as defined in the Pension Plan, determined as if such benefit were payable in the form of a single life annuity that commences on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date or, if later, the Participant's Separation Date.

(d) Prior Cash Payment Offset. This offset applies only to those Participants who received one or more cash payments under the provisions of the Plan in effect from January 1, 1994 through January 1, 1997. The amount of the Prior Cash Payment Offset is the Actuarial Equivalent of the benefit satisfied with such cash payments, determined as if such benefit were payable in the form of a single life annuity that commences on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date or, if later, the Participant's Separation Date. The name of each Participant who received one or more such cash payments and the benefit satisfied with such cash payment or payments are listed on Addendum B attached hereto.

4.2. Early Retirement Accrued Benefit. A Participant's Accrued Benefit on or after the Participant's Early Retirement Date (regardless of whether the Participant's Separation from


Service occurs before or after the Participant's Early Retirement Date) and prior to the Participant's Normal Retirement Date will be an early retirement Accrued Benefit. The Participant's early retirement Accrued Benefit determined as of a date that is on or after the date the Participant attains age 55 will equal the Participant's Accrued Benefit as determined under
Section 4.1, reduced by 4% for each year by which the date of the determination of such Participant's early retirement Accrued Benefit precedes the Participant's Normal Retirement Date. The Participant's early retirement Accrued Benefit determined as of a date that is prior to the date the Participant attains age 55 will equal the actuarial equivalent, as of such determination date, based on the interest and mortality tables then applicable under Section 2.3, of the Participant's early retirement Accrued Benefit at age 55 as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence.

ARTICLE V.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

5.1. Fully Vested Benefits. A Participant will be fully vested in the Participant's Accrued Benefit upon the first to occur of:

(a) The Participant's Normal Retirement Date if the Participant is an employee of the Company or a Related Company on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date; or

(b) The Participant's disability as determined by the Committee if such disability occurs while the Participant is an employee of the Company or a Related Company; or

(c) The Participant's death while the Participant is an employee of the Company or a Related Company; or

(d) The Participant's completion of five Years of Service; or

(e) A Change of Control.

5.2. Forfeitures. If the Participant does not have a vested Accrued Benefit under the provisions of Section 5.1 upon the Participant's Separation Date, then the Participant's Accrued Benefit will be forfeited.

5.3. Commencement of Payment. If the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit is paid in the form of an annuity as hereinafter provided, then payment will commence in the seventh month following the month in which the Participant has a Separation from Service, or in the month of the Participant's attainment of age 62 if later. If the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit is paid in the form of a lump sum as hereinafter provided, then payment will be made in the seventh month following the month in which the Participant has a Separation from Service (or during the 90-day period following the effective date of this amended and restated Plan if later). The following provisions of this Section 5.3 will apply notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 5.3. If a Change of Control occurs prior to the date the Participant has a Separation from Service, then the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit will be paid to the Participant in a lump sum payment within 90 days following the Change of Control. If the


Participant incurs a Disability prior to the date the Participant has a Separation from Service, then the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit will be paid to the Participant in a lump sum within 90 days following the determination of such Disability.

5.4. Method of Payment. The Participant's vested Accrued Benefit will be paid in one of the following methods elected by the Participant in accordance with Section 5.5:

(a) Lump Sum Payment: A lump sum payment is a single cash payment in an amount equal to the Actuarial Value of the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit determined as of the payment date; provided, however, if the Participant is eligible to receive an early retirement benefit under Section 4.2, then the amount of a single lump sum payment to the Participant will equal the present value determined as of the payment date of the Participant's early retirement benefit under Section 4.2 payable in the form of a single life annuity commencing on the payment date and determined by using the interest and mortality tables then applicable for purposes of determining Actuarial Value. Notwithstanding any contrary election made by a Participant, the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit will always be paid in a lump sum payment if as of the commencement date determined under Section 5.3 the dollar amount of the lump sum payment is less than or equal to the sum of $50,000.

(b) Annuity Payment: An annuity is payment in one of the forms described in the subparagraphs under this paragraph (b) that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit. If the Participant has an Eligible Spouse at the time the election is made and elects a joint and survivor annuity payment, but does not have an Eligible Spouse at the time benefit payments commence, then benefit payments will be made in the form of a single life annuity unless the Participant elects a single life annuity with a ten (10) year term certain in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5.

(a) Initial Elections: An Employee who is a Participant in the Plan on December 31, 2008, must make the initial method of payment election on or before December 31, 2008. An Employee who becomes a Participant after December 31, 2008, must make the method of payment election on or before the Employee's Participation Date. Any Participant who does not elect a method of payment is deemed to have elected a lump sum payment.

(b) Subsequent Elections: Except as hereafter provided in this subparagraph (b), a Participant's method of payment election is irrevocable. If a Participant has elected in accordance with the provisions of the preceding subparagraph (a) of this Section 5.5 that the method of payment of the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit will be an annuity, then at any time prior to the time the first annuity payment to the Participant is made, the Participant may elect to change the form of annuity to another form of annuity provided under the provisions of subparagraph (b) of Section 5.4. Such election shall be made by an instrument in writing signed by the Participant and delivered to the Committee

5.6. Death Benefit. If the Participant dies prior to the commencement of payment of Participant's Accrued Benefit, then the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit will be paid to the Participant's beneficiary as determined under Section 5.7 as soon as practical after the Participant's death in the form of a lump sum payment. If the Participant dies after the payment or commencement of payment of the Participant's Accrued Benefit, no further payments will be made hereunder with respect to the Participant and the Participant's benefits hereunder shall be deemed to be fully paid; provided, however, that if at the time of the Participant's death, the Participant's Accrued Benefit was being paid in the form of a single life annuity with a ten (10) year term certain and all of the guaranteed payments had not been made, then the remaining guaranteed payments will be paid to the Participant's beneficiary as determined under Section 5.7; and provided, further, that if at the time of the Participant's death, the Participant's Accrued Benefit was being paid in the form of a joint and survivor annuity, then if the Participant's


Eligible Spouse survives the Participant, the survivor annuity benefit will be paid to the Participant's Eligible Spouse until the death of the Participant's Eligible Spouse.

5.7. Determination of Beneficiary. Each Participant from time to time may designate any person or persons, trust, estate or charitable institution (who may be designated concurrently or contingently) to whom the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit under the Plan will be paid if the Participant dies prior to the payment or commencement of payment of the Participant's Accrued Benefit or if the Participant dies after the commencement of payment in the form of a single life annuity with a ten (10) year term certain and prior to the completion of such guaranteed payments. A beneficiary designation will be effective only if filed in writing with the Plan Administrator while the Participant is alive. The Participant's beneficiary will be the beneficiary designated on the last such written designation filed by the Participant prior to the Participant's death.

If a Participant fails to validly designate a beneficiary, then the Participant's beneficiary will be the Participant's Eligible Spouse, but if the Participant is not survived by an Eligible Spouse then the Participant's beneficiary will be the personal representative of the Participant's estate; provided, however, if the Participant does not otherwise have a probate estate, the Plan Administrator may pay the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit to such person or persons whom the Plan Administrator determines, in the Plan Administrator's sole and absolute discretion, would be the beneficiaries in a probate proceeding, and the Plan Administrator shall have no liability to any person for any such determination.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if as of the date payment is to otherwise be made under the preceding sentence, the Plan Administrator reasonably anticipates that the Company's deduction with respect to such payment to the Executive would be limited or eliminated by the application of Code Section
162(m), then such payment shall not be made except to the extent of a distribution amount that the Plan Administrator reasonably determines will not so limit or eliminate the Company's deduction. Any payment made under this Section 6.02 will be a lump sum payment. The second sentence of this Section 6.02 will not apply with respect to an amount to be paid under the first sentence of this Section 6.02 unless all scheduled payments to the Executive that may then be made under a plan subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and that may be delayed are delayed in accordance with the requirements of Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(i).

6.03 Mandatory Distribution Upon Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the Executive's Account Balance will be distributed by the Company to the Executive in a lump sum payment within 90 days following the occurrence of such Change of Control.

6.04 Mandatory Distribution Upon Separation from Service. In the event of the Executive's Separation from Service, then unless the Executive's Account Balance is to be distributed earlier under another provision of this Article VI, the Executive's Account Balance will be distributed by the Company to the Executive in a lump sum payment during the 90-day period commencing on the first day of the seventh month following the Executive's Separation from Service.

6.05 Death Prior to Payment of Benefits. In the event of an Executive's death prior to the payment to the Executive of the Executive's Account Balance, an amount equal to the Executive's Account Balance shall be paid to the Executive's designated Beneficiary in a lump sum payment during the 90-day period commencing on the date of the Executive's death.

6.06 Distribution Upon Unforeseeable Emergency. If the Plan Administrator determines that an Executive has an Unforeseeable Emergency, then upon the written request of the Executive the Plan Administrator may direct the Company to distribute to the Executive an amount that shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy such emergency need plus amounts


necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which the such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or by liquidation of the Executive's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship.

ARTICLE VII

BENEFICIARY

7.01 Beneficiary Designation. An Executive shall designate a Beneficiary to receive benefits under the Plan on an appropriate form provided by the Plan Administrator. If more than one Beneficiary is named, the share and/or precedence of each Beneficiary shall be indicated. An Executive shall have the right to change the Beneficiary by submitting to the Plan Administrator a new Beneficiary designation form.

7.02 Proper Beneficiary. If the Plan Administrator has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to receive payments hereunder, the Plan Administrator shall have the right to direct the Company to withhold such payments, and the Company may withhold such payments, until the matter is finally adjudicated. However, any payment made by the Company, in good faith and in accordance with this Plan, shall fully discharge the Company from all further obligations with respect to that payment.

7.03 Minor or Incompetent Beneficiary. In making any payments to or for the benefit of any minor or an incompetent Beneficiary, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make a distribution to a legal or natural guardian or other relative of a minor or court-appointed representative of such incompetent. Alternatively, it may make a payment to any adult with whom the minor or incompetent temporarily or permanently resides. The receipt by a guardian, court-appointed representative, relative or other person shall be a complete discharge to the Company. Neither the Company nor the Plan Administrator shall have any responsibility to see to the proper application of any payments so made.

7.04 No Beneficiary Designation. If an Executive fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided in Section 7.01 above, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive or die prior to complete distribution of the Executive's Account Balance, then the Executive's designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be his surviving spouse. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under the Plan to be paid to a Beneficiary shall be payable to the Executive's estate.

ARTICLE VIII

ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

8.01 Finality of Determination. Subject to the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall, from time to time, establish rules, forms and procedures for the administration of the Plan. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive


right to interpret the Plan and to decide any and all matters arising thereunder or in connection with the administration of the Plan, and it shall endeavor to act, whether by general rules or by particular decisions, so as not to discriminate in favor of or against any person.

8.03 Indemnification and Exculpation. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless any person or entity designated to act as the Plan Administrator or its designee and each current and former member of the Board against any and all expenses and liabilities (to the extent not indemnified under any liability insurance contract or other indemnification agreement) which the person incurs on account of any act or failure to act in connection with the good faith administration of the Plan. Expenses against which the Plan Administrator, its designee or a member of the Board shall be indemnified hereunder shall include, without limitation, the amount of any settlement or judgment, costs, counsel fees, and related charges reasonably incurred in connection with a claim asserted, or a proceeding brought or settlement thereof. The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights to which the Plan Administrator, its designee or such member of the Board may be entitled as a matter of law, but shall be conditioned upon the person's notifying the Company of the claim of liability within sixty (60) days of the notice of that claim and offering the Company the right to participate in and control the settlement and defense of the claim.

8.04 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

8.05 FICA and Other Taxes.

3.4 Age and Service Conditions for Participation of Eligible Employee -- Exceptions.

3.5 Commencement of Participation of Eligible Employee Following Termination of Employment. An Eligible Employee who has terminated employment with the Employer and who prior to termination of employment has satisfied the age and service conditions under Section 3.3, or who under Section 3.4 is not required to satisfy the age and service conditions, will become a Participant as follows:

(a) If at the time of the Eligible Employee's termination of employment with the Employer, the Eligible Employee continues to receive medical benefits under the Company Health Plan pursuant to the provisions of COBRA, then the Eligible Employee will become a Participant upon the expiration of the period that such individual is receiving medical benefits pursuant to the provisions of COBRA.

(b) If at the time of such Eligible Employee's termination of employment with the Employer, the Eligible Employee continues to receive medical benefits under the Company Health Plan under provisions of the Company Health Plan that provide benefits to certain retirees who are not eligible for coverage under Medicare, then the Eligible Employee will become a Participant at the time the Eligible Employee is no longer eligible to receive such retiree medical benefits under the Company Health Plan.

3.9 Termination of Participation of Family Member. A Participant who is a Family Member will cease to be a Participant if he or she ceases to be a Family Member under Section 2.13.

3.10 No Continuation Coverage. The Employer will have no obligation under COBRA or any other law to provide continuation coverage to any Participant following the date the Participant ceases to be a Participant hereunder.


ARTICLE IV.
BENEFITS

4.1 COBRA Payments. If an Eligible Employee is receiving medical benefits under the Company Health Plan pursuant to the provisions of COBRA, and if the Eligible Employee will become a Participant upon the expiration of the period that such individual is receiving medical benefits pursuant to the provisions of COBRA, then the Employer will pay the amounts payable by the Eligible Employee pursuant to COBRA necessary for medical coverage of the Eligible Employee and any legal spouse or Dependant of the Eligible Employee to continue for the period of coverage allowed under COBRA. Such payment may be by direct payment to the Eligible Employee or by any other method the Employer determines.

4.2 Insured Benefits. All Benefits will be provided only through individual medical benefit insurance policies or contracts purchased by the Employer. Benefits may be provided either through a traditional indemnity insurance policy or through an arrangement with a health maintenance organization. The Company will select the provider of the Benefits in its sole and absolute discretion and after making a good faith judgment that the provider has a history of good business practices and is in sound financial health. If at any time prior to the termination of an individual's participation in the Plan the provider of Benefits selected will no longer provide Benefits of any type to the Participant due to the dissolution of the provider or a change in the provider's business practices, then the Company will arrange for Benefits for the Participant through another provider. If a provider fails to pay any Benefits with respect to a Participant that would otherwise be payable by the provider solely because the provider has become insolvent, the Employer will pay such amounts that otherwise would have been paid by the provider. Except as provided in the preceding sentences, the Employer will have no responsibility or liability for any action or inaction of the provider of Benefits in connection with providing such Benefits to a Participant other than action or inaction due to the Employer's failure to pay the provider the payment amount specified in the initial arrangement. The Employer may, in its sole and absolute discretion with no obligation to do so, pay Benefits hereunder from the general assets of the Employer on a self-insured basis with respect to any one or more Participants.

4.3 Income Tax Gross-up Payments. In the event Benefits paid to a Participant in a particular calendar year constitute taxable income to the Participant and exceed in the aggregate the sum of $20,000, then the Employer will pay to the Participant a cash amount determined by the Employer in its discretion (which determination shall be made in good faith) sufficient to pay the state and federal income tax liability of the Participant with respect to the amount of taxable Benefits paid for such year in excess of the sum of $20,000. Such payment by the Employer shall be made no later than the day the Participant remits the payment in the amount of the applicable tax liability to the applicable taxing authority. The payment to be made under this Section 4.3 shall be only with respect to taxable Benefits and not with respect to any other taxable income of the Participant (including taxable amounts paid under this Section 4.3.)


4.4 Benefits for Participants Not Eligible for Medicare. Benefits provided hereunder for a Participant who is not eligible for medical coverage under Medicare will be comparable to the medical benefits provided under the Company Health Plan at the time the Participant becomes a Participant under this Plan; provided, however, that the Benefits will not be subject to any overall lifetime or annual maximum dollar limits. For purposes of this Section 4.4, "comparable" means as similar as possible as determined by the Company in its discretion in good faith taking into account the options available for the Company in selecting a provider of Benefits at such time. In the case of a Participant who was a participant in the Company Health Plan at the time of becoming a Participant, the Company will determine "comparable" based upon the medical benefits of such Participant in the Company Health Plan immediately prior to becoming a Participant. In the case of any other Participant, the Company will make a good faith effort to determine "comparable" in its discretion based upon reasonable assumptions as to the type of coverage the Participant would have had under the Company Health Care Plan.

4.5 Benefits for Participants Eligible for Medicare. Benefits provided hereunder for a Participant who is eligible for medical coverage under Medicare will be comparable to the medical coverage provided under the Company Health Plan for retired employees of Seaboard Corporation eligible for Medicare coverage at the time of the adoption of this Plan, except that the Benefits will not be subject to any overall lifetime or annual maximum dollar limits. For purposes of this Section 4.5, "comparable" means as similar as possible as determined by the Company in its discretion in good faith taking into account the options available for the Company in selecting a provider of Benefits at such time.

4.6 Benefits Secondary to Other Coverage. At any time a Participant has medical coverage in addition to the Benefits hereunder then the Benefits hereunder shall be secondary to any such other medical coverage. Therefore Benefits otherwise provided hereunder will be reduced to the extent provided under such other medical coverage.

4.7 Participant Agreement to Provide Information. As a condition to receiving Benefits, a Participant agrees to provide the Employer or the Committee any information reasonably needed in order to administer any of the provisions of the Plan.

4.8 No Benefits for Persons Related to Family Members. In no event will any Benefits be provided to any individual who is not an Eligible Employee or the Family Member of an Eligible Employee.

4.9 409A Compliance. If necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, (a) the amount of benefits that the Company is obligated to pay under this Plan in any given calendar year shall not affect the amount of such benefits that the Company is obligated to pay in any other calendar year, and (b) a Participant's right to have the Company provide such benefits may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.


ARTICLE V.
ADMINISTRATION

The Company may delegate the authority to administer the Plan to a Committee. In the absence of any such delegation the Company will be the Committee for purposes of the Plan. The Committee is authorized in its sole and absolute discretion to construe and interpret the provisions of the Plan. Any interpretation of the Plan and any decision on any matter within the discretion of the Committee made in good faith is binding on all persons. The Committee and the individual members of the Committee will be indemnified by the Company against any and all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses of any kind or nature incurred by or asserted against the Committee or any individual member of the Committee in connection with any action or inaction pursuant to this Plan.

ARTICLE VI.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

6.1 Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Company may amend the Plan at any time in its sole discretion by execution of a written amendment to the Plan or by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company. An amendment to the Plan may provide for a partial or complete termination of the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, if any such amendment would adversely affect any individual who is an Eligible Employee, Participant or Family Member at the time of such amendment, then the Plan provisions as in effect immediately prior to such amendment shall remain in effect for such individual and such amendment shall not apply with respect to such individual.

6.2 Special Rule for Substantial Change in United States Health Care. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1, the Company may amend the Plan in any manner it deems advisable in its sole and absolute discretion, with respect to current and future Eligible Employees and Participants, if there is a substantial change in the provision of health care coverage in the United States (including, but not limited to, the adoption of what is often referred to as "socialized medicine" or "universal coverage") such that medical coverage for Eligible Employees and Participants is available elsewhere and the nature of such other coverage is such that the Company would not have adopted this Plan had such other coverage been available at the time of the adoption of this Plan. The Company will act in good faith in adopting any amendment to the Plan under this Section 6.2 and the Company will endeavor in good faith to assure that those individuals who are Eligible Employees, Participants or Family Members at the time of any such amendment receive benefits comparable to the medical coverage they were receiving under the Plan, or were anticipated to receive in the future under the Plan, immediately prior to any such amendment.

6.3 No Employment Rights. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring upon an Eligible Employee the right to continue in the employ of the Employer in the


Eligible Employee's current position or in any other capacity. Each Eligible Employee shall have contractual rights to enforce the provisions of the Plan.

6.4 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Plan are binding upon the Employer and its successors and assigns.

6.5 Governing Law. This Plan shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Plan is executed this 22nd day of December, 2008.

ARTICLE III
PARTICIPATION

3.1 Participation for Deferrals. The Committee will designate those Eligible Employees who are eligible to make Deferral Elections for a particular Plan Year. Such designation will be by written communication to such Eligible Employees and will be effective on the date of such written communication. Once an Eligible Employee has been designated under this Section 3.1, he or she may make a Deferral Election for the first Plan Year stated in such written designation and for each subsequent Plan Year until the first to occur of (1) the Participant's Separation from Service, or (2) a written notice from the Committee delivered prior to the first day of the Plan Year for which it is effective advising the Participant that he or she is no longer eligible to make a Deferral Election.

3.2 Participation for Company Contributions. Any Eligible Employee who has satisfied the requirements for eligibility to participate in the Retirement Savings Plan for Seaboard Corporation, as amended from time to time (the "401(k) Plan") for a Plan Year and whose Compensation for a Plan Year is in excess of the maximum amount of compensation determined pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) that is permitted to be taken into account under the 401(k) Plan for the plan year of the
401(k) Plan that ends within such Plan Year, will be a Participant for purposes of the Company Contribution for that Plan Year.

ARTICLE IV
DEFERRAL ELECTIONS

4.1 Method. A Deferral Election shall be made in writing on a form provided by the Committee and shall be submitted to the Committee in such manner as the Committee determines. A Deferral Election will not be valid unless it is submitted to the Committee in the manner required.

4.2 Irrevocable. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.6 or Section 4.7, a Deferral Election will become irrevocable on the last day established by the Committee (in accordance with the provisions hereunder) for submitting the Deferral Election to the Committee; provided, however, in the case of a Deferral Election that is submitted under Section 4.4 after the first day of a Plan Year, the Deferral Election shall become irrevocable at the time the Deferral Election is submitted to the Committee.

4.3 Deferral Election. A Participant's Deferral Election for a Plan Year must be made at such time as the Committee determines, but in no event later than the last day of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year for which the Deferral Election is effective. A Participant's Deferral Election for a Plan Year with respect to salary shall apply to salary payable in the Plan Year for which the election is made. A Participant's Deferral Election for a Plan Year with respect to bonus shall apply to bonus earned in the Plan Year for which the election is made.

4.4 Special Rule for Deferral Election for First Year of Eligibility. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.4, an Eligible Employee who is designated under Section 3.1 for the first time, may elect to make Deferrals provided he or she submits a Deferral Election to the Committee by such time as the Committee determines, but in no event later than 30 days after


the date the Eligible Employee first becomes eligible to participate for Deferrals under Section 3.1. A Deferral Election made under this Section 4.4 after the first day of a Plan Year and applicable to salary, shall apply only with respect to salary earned after the date the Deferral Election becomes irrevocable. A Deferral Election under this Section 4.4 after the first day of a Plan Year applicable to a bonus payable to the Participant, shall apply only to the amount of the Participant's bonus that is deemed to be payable for services performed after the Deferral Election shall be determined by multiplying the total bonus payable by a fraction, the denominator of which is the total number of days in the performance period for which the bonus is payable, and the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in such performance period after the date the Participant's Deferral Election becomes irrevocable. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 4.4, if at the time an Eligible Employee becomes first eligible as a Participant for Deferrals under Section 3.1, the Eligible Employee is or has been eligible to participate in any nonqualified deferred compensation plan of a Related Company that is subject to Code Section 409A and that is required by Code
Section 409A to be aggregated with this Plan with respect to Deferrals, then the Participant's Deferral Election will only be effective if it is submitted to the Committee at the time provided in Section 4.3.

4.5 Minimum Annual Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IV, a Participant may not make a Deferral Election for a Plan year unless the Participant's Deferral Election for such Plan Year provides for a Deferral amount that is determined by the Committee to be at least $10,000. Such determination will be made by the Committee prior to the date the Deferral Election becomes irrevocable hereunder.

4.6 Cancellation of Deferral Election on Account of Hardship Distribution. In the event a Participant receives a distribution from the 401(k) Plan on account of hardship, which distribution is made pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3) and requires suspension of deferrals under other arrangements such as this Plan, the Participant's Deferral Election pursuant to which Deferrals would otherwise be made during the 6-month period following the date of the distribution shall be cancelled.

4.7 Cancellation of Deferral Election on Account of Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event a Participant requests a distribution pursuant to Section 7.10 due to an Unforeseeable Emergency, or the Participant requests a cancellation of the Deferral Election of the Participant due to an Unforeseeable Emergency, and the Committee determines that the Participant's Unforeseeable Emergency may be relieved all or in part through the cancellation of the Participant's current Deferral Election, then such Deferral Election shall be cancelled as soon as administratively practicable following such determination by the Committee.

ARTICLE V
COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS

5.1 Participation. As soon as administratively feasible after the last day of each Plan Year a Company Contribution will be credited to the Accounts of those Participants determined by the Committee under Section 3.2.

5.2 Amount. The amount of a Company Contribution credited on behalf of a Participant for a Plan Year will equal the sum of (a) the Company matching contribution, if any,


which is 3% of the Participant's Deferral for such Plan Year, and (b) the Company excess contribution, if any, which is 3% of the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year that is in excess of the maximum amount of compensation determined pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) that is permitted to be taken into account under the 401(k) Plan for the plan year of the
401(k) Plan that ends within such Plan Year.

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENT RETURN

6.1 Account Adjustments for Deferrals, Company Contributions and Distributions. All Deferrals of a Participant with respect to a Plan Year will be credited to the Participant's Account as soon as administratively feasible after the date on which the Deferral would have been paid in cash absent the Deferral Election applicable to such Deferral. All Company Contributions made on behalf of a Participant with respect to a Plan Year will be credited to the Participant's Account at such time or times as determined by the Committee. Any distribution from a Participant's Account will be charged to the Account as of the time of the distribution.

6.2 Account Adjustments for Investment Return. A Participant's Account will be deemed invested in one or more Investment Options as directed or deemed directed by the Participant pursuant to procedures established by the Committee. At such times as determined by the Committee, and at such time as provided under Section 7.11, the Investment Return will be credited (in the case of net earnings) or charged (in the case of net losses) to the Participant's Account.

6.3 Vesting. A Participant will be fully vested in his or her Account at all times.

ARTICLE VII
DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1 Distribution Preference Elections. A Participant shall make, or be deemed to make, a separate Distribution Preference Election with respect to each Plan Year. A Distribution Preference Election will apply to the distribution of all Deferrals and Company Contributions allocated to the Participant's Account with respect to a Plan Year, as adjusted thereafter for Investment Return. The Distribution Preference Election will designate the date for the payment by the Employer to the Participant of the amounts subject to the Distribution Preference Election. Except as provided in Section 7.2, payment by the Employer will be made during the 90-day period commencing upon the distribution date designated in the applicable Distribution Preference Election. The form of payment will always be a lump sum payment.

7.2 Subject to Mandatory Distribution Provisions and 162(m) Payment Delay. Any Distribution Preference Election hereunder, whether an actual election or a deemed election, shall be subject to the mandatory distribution provisions of Sections 7.6, 7.7, 7.8 and 7.9. In addition, to the extent required under Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(i) for purposes of compliance with Code Section 409A, any payment otherwise to be made pursuant to the Participant's Distribution Preference Election will be delayed if a payment to the Participant in the same year under the Seaboard Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan is delayed


due to the anticipated limitation or elimination of the Company's deduction under Code Section 162(m). Any payment delayed under the preceding sentence shall be paid upon the first to occur of (a) a mandatory distribution referenced in the first sentence of this Section 7.2, or (b) the date the delayed payment is made under the Seaboard Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, to the extent consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

7.3 Election Form. A Distribution Preference Election (other than a deemed election) must be made in writing on a form provided by the Committee and shall be submitted to the Committee in such manner as the Committee determines. A Distribution Preference Election will not be valid unless it is submitted to the Committee in the manner required.

7.4 Time of Initial Election or Deemed Election. If a Participant makes a Deferral Election for a Plan Year, then at the time the Participant makes the Deferral Election the Participant may also make a Distribution Preference Election. If the Participant fails to make a Distribution Preference Election at such time, or if the Participant does not make a Deferral Election for a Plan Year but a Company Contribution is made on behalf of the Participant for such Plan Year, then the Participant shall be deemed to have made a Distribution Preference Election applicable to all amounts allocated to the Participant's Account for such Plan Year, as adjusted thereafter for Investment Return, of a lump sum payment payable during the 90-day period commencing on the first day of the sixth Plan Year following the year for which the Deferral Election is made.

7.5 Subsequent Distribution Preference Election. A Participant may change any existing Distribution Preference Election (whether it was made by the Participant or deemed made by the Participant) by filing a subsequent Distribution Preference Election with the Committee; provided, however, a subsequent Distribution Preference Election will not be effective unless it satisfies all of the following requirements:

(a) A subsequent Distribution Preference Election may not take effect until at least twelve months after the date on which it is filed by the Participant.

(b) A subsequent Distribution Preference Election may not be filed less than twelve (12) months prior to the designated distribution date under the existing Distribution Preference Election.

(c) The payment that is subject to the subsequent Distribution Preference Election may not be made earlier than five (5) years after the date such payment would have been made absent such subsequent Distribution Preference Election.

7.6 Mandatory Distribution Upon Separation from Service. In the event of a Participant's Separation from Service, then unless the Participant's Account is to be distributed earlier under another provision of this Article VII, the Participant's Account will be distributed by the Employer to the Participant in a lump sum payment during the seventh month following the month in which the Participant has a Separation from Service.

7.7 Mandatory Distribution Upon Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, then unless the Participant's Account is to be distributed earlier under another provision


of this Article VII, the Participant's Account will be distributed by the Employer to the Participant in a lump sum payment within 90 days following the Change of Control.

7.8 Mandatory Distribution Upon Disability. In the event of the Disability of the Participant, then unless the Participant's Account is to be distributed earlier under another provision of this Article VII, the Participant's Account will be distributed by the Employer to the Participant in a lump sum payment within 90 days following the determination of such Disability.

7.9 Mandatory Distribution Upon Death. In the event of the death of the Participant, then the Participant's Account will be distributed by the Employer to the Participant's Beneficiary in a lump sum payment within 90 days following the Participant's death.

7.10 Distribution Upon Unforeseeable Emergency. If the Committee determines that a Participant has an Unforeseeable Emergency, then upon the written request of the Participant the Committee may direct the Employer to distribute to the Participant an amount that shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy such emergency need plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which the such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or by liquidation of the Participant's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship.

7.11 Adjustments to Accounts. At any time a Participant's entire Account is to be distributed hereunder, the Participant's Account shall be adjusted, as provided in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, prior to the date of distribution and as near as administratively feasible to the date of distribution.

ARTICLE VIII
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

The Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, amend, in whole or in part, any of the provisions of the Plan or may terminate it as a whole or with respect to any Participant or group of Participants; provided, however, no amendment or termination shall accelerate or postpone the time of any distributions hereunder except to the extent allowed under Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE IX

Allocations to the extent enumerated on Schedule 3.3 shall be binding on Buyer and Seller and their respective Affiliates for Tax purposes, and none of the Parties or their respective Affiliates shall take, for Tax purposes, any position in any Tax Return that is inconsistent with such allocation.

3.4 Nonassignability of Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent the sale, assignment, sublease, transfer, conveyance or delivery or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery to Buyer, of any Contract or other asset that would be an Acquired Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom is prohibited by any applicable Law or would require any authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers of a Governmental Entity or other third party, and such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, if Buyer, in its sole discretion, so elects in writing, the Closing shall proceed without the sale, assignment, sublease, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such Contract or other asset and this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, sublease, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such Contract or other asset or an attempt thereof. If the Closing proceeds (as a result of Buyer's election above) without the sale, transfer, conveyance, sublease, assignment or delivery of any such Contract or other asset, then, following the Closing, the parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers; provided, however, that Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration for any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver other than filing, recordation or similar fees which shall be paid by the party who is required by Law or course of dealing to do so. Pending such authorization, approval, consent or waiver, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Buyer the benefits of use of such Contract or other asset and to Seller the benefits, including any indemnities, that they would have obtained had the Contract or other asset been conveyed to Buyer at the Closing. To the extent that Buyer is provided the benefits pursuant to this Section 3.4 of any Contract or other asset, Buyer shall perform for the benefit of the other Persons that are parties thereto the obligations of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller thereunder and any related liabilities that, but for the lack of an authorization, approval, consent or waiver to assign such liabilities to Buyer, would be Assumed Liabilities and such obligations and liabilities shall for the purposes of Article VII be deemed to be Assumed Liabilities. Once authorization, approval, consent or waiver for the sale, assignment, sublease, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such Contract or other asset not sold, assigned, subleased, transferred, conveyed or delivered at the Closing is obtained, Seller shall or shall cause its Affiliates to assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Contract or other asset to Buyer at no additional cost to Buyer.

During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Wind Down Date, Seller shall operate, maintain and preserve, at its sole cost and expense, the Barges (including the hulls thereof) and the other Acquired Assets in accordance with Prudent Standards and Practices and Hull Maintenance, Seaworthy (in the case of the Barges), so that the Barges' hulls meet the Baseline Hull Condition and the Acquired Assets otherwise operate (through and until the Generation Assets cease to


operate) at the Baseline Performance Levels (provided, with respect to the Noise Emissions Baseline, Seller's obligations shall be limited as provided in Section 4.F.3 of Schedule 1.1(d)) (collectively, the "Required Operating Condition"). It is understood that the requirements of this
Section 6.2 shall be deemed to be satisfied if Seller has operated, maintained and preserved the Acquired Assets during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Wind Down Date consistent with Prudent Standards and Practices and Hull Maintenance and so that the Barges' hulls meet the Baseline Hull Conditions and the Acquired Assets otherwise operate (through and until the Generation Assets cease to operate) at the Baseline Performance Levels. With respect to the hulls of the Barges, as of the date of this Agreement, Seller shall perform the Hull Maintenance in a prompt manner consistent with Prudent Standards and Practices. As promptly as reasonably possible following the date hereof, Seller shall cause the repairs referred to Schedule 4.5 to be completed. Seller will furnish Buyer with a maintenance report by the fifteenth (15th) day of each month until the Second Closing in the form set forth in Exhibit J.

(b) Decommission. From the Wind Down Date to the Closing Date, Seller shall safeguard and maintain the condition of the Acquired Assets as they are prepared for delivery to Buyer in a manner consistent with Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance.

(c) Expenses. All expenses in respect of the Acquired Assets prior to the Closing Date shall be for the sole account of Seller.

(d) Insured Events. If, prior to the Closing Date, the Acquired Assets are damaged or destroyed due to any event (the "Insured Event"), then, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in a detailed writing thereof and within forty-five (45) days following the occurrence of the Insured Event, Seller shall obtain and deliver to Buyer a written estimate of the total costs and the repair time required to complete the actions necessary to replace, restore or repair the Acquired Assets to the Required Operating Condition.

6.3 Access to Information. Subject to the restrictions of any applicable Law between the date hereof and the Closing, Seller shall:

(a) give Buyer and its authorized representatives reasonable access to all books, records, offices and other facilities and properties of or relating to the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (except for financial information (other than related to operating expenses) and except for employee records or records regarding Seller or its Affiliates not relevant to the Acquired Assets); and

(b) permit Buyer to make such inspections thereof as Buyer may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such investigation shall be conducted during normal business hours and in such a manner as to not interfere unreasonably with the business operations of Seller.

6.4 Consents.

(a) Joint Efforts. Each of Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain all licenses, permits, consents, approvals,


authorizations, qualifications and orders of Governmental Entities and other third parties necessary to assign the Contracts and to consummate the Acquisition. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer agrees to provide such information relating to its financial capability, resources and creditworthiness as may be reasonably requested by any third party whose consent or approval is sought in connection with the Acquisition.

(b) Releases. After the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts (i) to promptly cause Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, as the case may be, to be released and discharged from any and all Assumed Liabilities and (ii) to promptly cause Buyer to be substituted in the place of Seller or any of the Affiliates of Seller, as the case may be, for all purposes under the Contracts.

6.5 Further Assurances. Each of Seller and Buyer shall cooperate, and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate the Acquisition.

6.6 Wind Down.

(a) Wind Down.

(i) Preparation for Delivery. After the date hereof, Buyer will deliver to Seller the Wind Down Notice. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, however, it is understood that the Wind Down Date shall not be a date prior to October 1, 2010. On the Wind Down Date, Seller will stop operating the Acquired Assets and will proceed to prepare the Acquired Assets for delivery to Buyer in accordance with the Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance. Seller shall undertake all steps necessary to ensure that the Closing Date occurs during the Delivery Window. In all circumstances, the place of delivery for the Acquired Assets (the "Delivery Point") shall be at their current location in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

(ii) Baseline Performance Levels. After the Buyer has delivered to the Seller the Wind Down Notice and (unless otherwise expressly directed by Buyer in the Wind Down Notice not to conduct such tests at all) on such dates as mutually selected by Buyer and Seller to permit the completion of the applicable tests as close to the Wind Down Date as reasonably practicable but not in any event more than sixty (60) days after the date of Seller's receipt of the Wind Down Notice (such sixty (60) day period being referred to herein as the "Final Testing Period"), Seller shall, in the presence of representatives of Buyer, test the Generation Assets in accordance with the Performance Tests to determine if the Barges are in the Required Operating Condition. The costs of the Performance Tests shall be borne as provided in Schedule 1.1(d).

(iii) Hull Inspection. After Buyer has delivered to the Seller the Wind Down Notice, Seller shall permit Buyer, on a mutually agreed Business Day, which is at least sixty
(60) days prior to the Wind Down Date, to inspect the Barges' hulls in accordance with the Hull Test Guidelines to determine if the Barges' still meet the Baseline Hull Condition. If a Barge does not meet the Baseline Hull Condition, then Seller shall


promptly repair the Barge(s) so that the hull(s) of the Barge(s) meet the Baseline Hull Condition by the last day of the Delivery Window or, if not so repaired, a Minor Delivery Failure shall be deemed to have occurred. Following the Closing with respect to a Barge(s), Buyer shall, at its election, be permitted to conduct, at its own expense, a dry dock inspection of the hull(s) of the Barge(s). To the extent that, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date of a Barge(s) (subject to extension of such one hundred twenty (120) day period in cases of a Dry Dock Force Majeure Event for an additional period of up to sixty
(60) days), Buyer and Seller mutually determine in writing or an independent and reputable expert advises Buyer and Seller, in writing, that the hull(s) of the Barge(s) requires repairs in order for the hull(s) to meet the Baseline Hull Condition (such repairs to meet such Condition being hereinafter referred to as the "Required Repairs"), then Buyer shall be entitled to cause the Required Repairs to be made and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for such Repairs in an amount (the "Hull Net Repair Cost"), if any, equal to (A) the actual total cost of the Required Repairs for both Barges less (B) One Million Dollars (U.S. $1,000,000). Any amount payable to Buyer by Seller pursuant to this
Section 6.6 (a)(iii) shall be paid first from Escrow Account out of the Hull Escrow Amount, to the extent thereof, and, thereafter directly by Seller. Promptly following the payment of the Hull Net Repair Cost or the determination that no Hull Net Repair Cost will be payable hereunder by Seller, the balance of the Hull Escrow Amount shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent to Seller.

(iv) Known Hull Repair Issues. Seller shall repair the Known Hull Repair Issues in a reasonable manner within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date hereof; provided, however, that, if the Known Hull Repair Issues have not been repaired at least sixty (60) days prior to the Wind Down Date, Buyer may notify the Seller in writing that Buyer wishes to address any or all of the Known Hull Repair Issues after the Closing, in which case the applicable amount set forth on Schedule 1.1(i) will be deducted from the Closing Date Payment; provided further, however, if the reasonable actual cost for the Known Hull Repair Issues exceed the estimated amount of the Known Hull Repair Issues listed in Schedule 1.1(i), Seller Parties shall promptly reimburse and pay the difference upon demand (including evidence thereof). The Parties agree that such amount may also be paid to Buyer from the Hull Escrow Amount. For purposes of clarity, it is understood that Seller's estimated cost for Known Hull Repair Issues addressed by Buyer after the Closing in accordance with this Section 6.6
(a)(iv) shall be deducted from the Closing Date Payment and then any incremental actual cost for such Known Hull Repair Issues shall be reimbursed to Buyer pursuant to this Section
6.6(a) (iv) and, as such, shall not be subject to the One Million Dollars (U.S. $1,000,000) deductible otherwise provided for in Section 6.6(a)(iii).

(v) Allocation. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.6(a)(iii) or Section 6.6(a)(iv) to the contrary, it is understood that (a) to the extent Required Repairs or repairs for Known Hull Repair Issues are performed by Buyer after the Closing, (b) those repairs are made to correct any deteriorated shell plating on a Barge's hull where deterioration exceeds 30% of original manufactured thickness, and (c) Buyer elects to make repairs to the shell plating such that, following such repairs, the remaining deterioration to the repaired area is less than 30% of original manufactured thickness, then, for the purposes of
Section 6.6(a)(iii) or Section 6.6(a)(iv), the actual cost

of


making the Required Repairs or the repairs for Known Hull Repair Issues, as relates to such shell plating, shall be determined on a pro rata basis (thus, for example, if the relevant deterioration was 35% of original manufactured thickness pre-repair and there was no (0%) deterioration from original manufactured thickness post-repair, then one- seventh (1/7th) (5% divided by 35%) of the applicable repair costs would be deemed the cost of the applicable Required Repairs or repairs for Known Hull Repair Issues while the remaining six-sevenths (6/7ths) of the applicable repair costs would be disregarded for the purposes of Section 6.6(a)(iii) or Section 6.6(a)(iv), as applicable.

(b) Force Majeure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Seller cannot, due to a Force Majeure Event which occurs at any time following the date hereof, deliver all the Acquired Assets in the Required Operating Condition during the Delivery Window, without prejudice to Buyer's rights under Section 8.1 (e), then, so long as Seller shall continue to exercise its best efforts to deliver all the Acquired Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as promptly as possible, the Delivery Window shall be extended for such reasonable time so as to permit Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement. Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer (the "Force Majeure Notice") promptly following Seller's Knowledge of the Force Majeure Event. The Force Majeure Notice shall set forth the nature and facts surrounding the Force Majeure Event and the actions Seller has taken or intends to take to resolve issues related to the delivery of the Acquired Assets that are attributable to such Force Majeure Event. Force Majeure Events shall not excuse a Party from delay or failure in performing its obligations:

(i) simply because performance has become more expensive;

(ii) if its failure to perform is due to the non- performing Party's intentional acts or omissions or its failure to exercise due diligence, oversight or planning (as defined in the definition of "Force Majeure Event" in
Section 1.1 ); or

(iii) to the extent that the Party asserting a Force Majeure Event fails to fulfill its obligations as soon as reasonably possible after such Force Majeure Event has been eliminated or has ceased to prevent the affected Party from fulfilling its obligations.

If a Force Majeure Event occurs at any time following the date hereof and, as a result thereof, it is reasonably likely that using Commercially Reasonable Efforts Seller will not be able to consummate the Closing on or before May 31, 2011 (a "Force Majeure Delivery Failure") with respect to one or both of the Barges, other than due to the failure to cure a Minor Delivery Failure as of May 31, 2011, then Buyer, at its election (exercised by giving written notice to Seller within thirty
(30) days following the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event), shall have the right (A) if the Force Majeure Delivery Failure is applicable to both Barges, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 (e) (a "Force Majeure Termination") or (B) if the Delivery Failure is applicable to only one of the Barges, to exclude from the Acquisition the Barge so affected and any related Acquired Assets (a "Force Majeure Exclusion"). In the case where Buyer elects a Force Majeure Exclusion with respect to only one Barge and any related Acquired Assets, then (i) Seller shall, promptly thereafter, after receiving written notice of such election, pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account (or accounts) as shall have been designated in writing by Buyer to Seller, an amount (in U.S. Dollars) equal to the


Partial Termination Payment, if any, (ii) the Escrow Agent shall disburse to Buyer, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Partial Termination Escrow Payment and (iii) upon receipt of the Partial Termination Payment, if any, and the Partial Termination Escrow Payment, Buyer shall promptly thereafter release all liens under the Security Agreement with respect to the Barge and any related Acquired Assets which have been excluded from the Acquisition.

(c) Repair Notice. If, for any reason other than a Force Majeure Event, it can reasonably be expected that Seller will not be able to deliver all the Acquired Assets during the Delivery Window in the Required Operating Condition (a "Repair Condition"), then Seller shall promptly as practicably possible give Buyer written notice thereof (the "Repair Notice"), which notice shall set forth (i) a detailed listing of the Acquired Assets which cannot be delivered during the Delivery Window in the Required Operating Condition (the "Damaged Assets"); (ii) the actions (the "Repair Actions") necessary to replace, restore or repair the Damaged Assets to the Required Operating Condition; and (iii) an estimate of the total time (stated in days) (the "Projected Repair Time") and the estimated total costs (the "Repair Costs") necessary to complete the Repair Actions, which estimates shall be supported by reasonably detailed documentation, and, if requested in writing by Buyer, such estimates shall be reviewed by an independent expert who shall comment on such estimates after due consultation with the DR Employees (which expert shall be mutually agreed to in writing by Buyer and Seller and the costs of which expert shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller). If an independent expert is engaged, Seller agrees to consider fully any and all recommendations made by such expert and, if appropriate based upon a good faith review of those recommendations, to revise the Repair Actions, Projected Repair Time or Repair Costs pursuant to this Section 6.6 (c) after due consultation with the independent expert (which estimates, as so revised, shall thereafter serve as the applicable estimates for Repair Actions, Projected Repair Time and Repair Costs for the purposes of this Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.6 (d) or Section 6.6 (e), promptly following the occurrence of a Repair Condition, Seller shall use its best efforts, at its expense, to have all Repair Actions completed as soon as practicably possible.

(d) Minor Delivery Failure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Repair Actions constitute a Minor Delivery Failure which have not been cured by the last day of the Delivery Window, then Buyer, at its election (exercised by giving written notice to Seller within thirty
(30) Business Days following Buyer's receipt of the Repair Notice), shall either elect (i) to delay the Closing Date (and to extend the Delivery Window) until such time as Seller can deliver all of the Acquired Assets in the Required Operating Condition (such option being hereinafter referred to as "Option A") or (ii) to establish a date for the Closing (and to extend the Delivery Window) to occur (which shall be a Business Day selected by Buyer which shall be no earlier than the seventy-fifth (75th) day after the Wind Down Date) and to close the Acquisition on the Closing Date, but, when the Closing is consummated pursuant to this
Section 6.6 (d)(ii), the Closing Date Payment shall be reduced (in accordance with Section 3.1 (c) (vii)) by the estimated Repair Costs which have not been paid by Seller subsequent to the date of the Repair Notice and prior to the Closing Date (in which case Buyer shall thereafter be responsible for the completion of any remaining Repair Actions and the payment of any remaining Repair Costs) (such option being hereinafter referred to as "Option B"). Notwithstanding


anything herein to the contrary, in a case where Buyer elects Option A pursuant to this Section 6.6 (d) and all of the Acquired Assets are not in the Required Operating Condition as of the end of the Repair Time, then Buyer, at its election (exercised by giving written notice to Seller within ten (10) Business Days following the end of the Repair Time), shall once again have the option to elect Option B (otherwise, Option A shall remain in effect).

(e) Major Delivery Failure. (i) Buyer Options. Notwithstanding anything herein (other than in Section 6.6
(e)(ii)) to the contrary, if the Repair Condition constitutes a Major Delivery Failure which Seller using Commercially Reasonable Efforts cannot be reasonably expected to rectify so that the Barges meet the Required Operating Condition by the last day of the Delivery Window, then Buyer, at its election (exercised by giving written notice to Seller within thirty (30) Business Days following Buyer's Knowledge of the Major Delivery Failure), shall either elect (A) to elect Option A, (B) to elect Option B or
(C) to establish a date for the Closing (and to extend the applicable Delivery Window) to occur (the "First Closing Date") (consistent with the time frame prescribed in Option
B), to close the Acquisition with respect to any Barge which does not have Damaged Assets situated thereon, in which case, the Closing Date Payment shall be reduced (in accordance with Section 3.1 (c)(vi)) by an amount (the "Seller Delivery Failure Amount") equal to the sum of (1) the Barge A Purchase Price or the Barge B Purchase Price, as applicable, if Buyer is not purchasing Barge A or Barge B on the First Closing Date plus (2) the respective amount of the Purchase Price otherwise allocable (in accordance with Schedule 3.3) to any other Generation Assets which are not being acquired on the First Closing Date (the "Remaining Assets") (such option being hereinafter referred to as "Option C").

(1) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in a case where Buyer elects Option A pursuant to this Section 6.6 (e)(i) and all of the Acquired Assets are not in the Required Operating Condition as of the end of the Repair Time, then Buyer, at its election (exercised by giving written notice to Seller within ten (10) Business Days following the end of the Repair Time), shall once again have the option to elect Option B or Option C.

(2) In the case where Buyer elects Option C, Buyer shall, as a part of that Option, also elect (in the same written notice in which Buyer elects Option C) either (x) to exclude from the Acquisition completely the Remaining Assets (such option, under Option C, being hereinafter referred to as "Option C-1") or (y) to defer the Acquisition of the Remaining Assets (and to extend the applicable Delivery Window) until the end of the Repair Time (such option, under Option C, being hereinafter referred to as "Option C-2"). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case where Buyer elects Option C-1, on the Closing Date as part of the Closing, (1) the Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller the Closing Date Payment and an amount equal to the Escrow Fraction times the Escrow Interest Amount shall also be paid to Seller; (2) remaining balance of the Escrow Deposit and the Escrow Interest Amount shall be paid to Buyer;


and (3) Buyer shall release all liens under the Security Agreement in connection with such Remaining Assets which are excluded from the Acquisition. In the case where Buyer elects Option C-2, then, at such time as Seller has completed the Repair Actions with respect to the Damaged Assets, Seller shall establish a date for the Closing to occur (the "Second Closing Date") (by at least ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice to Buyer) at which Buyer and Seller shall close the Acquisition of the Remaining Assets, and
(1) Buyer shall pay on the Second Closing Date (either directly or through the disbursement of the Escrow Deposit by the Escrow Agent) the balance of the Closing Date Payment which was not otherwise paid on the First Closing Date, and (2) the balance of the Escrow Interest Amount shall be disbursed to Seller in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in a case where Buyer elects Option C-2 pursuant to Section 6.6 (e)(i) and the Remaining Assets are not in the Required Operating Condition as of the end of the Repair Time, then Buyer, at its election (exercised by giving written notice to Seller within ten (10) Business Days following the end of the Repair Time), shall once again have the option to elect Option C-1.

(ii) Additional Option. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in case of a Major Delivery Failure and if the Seller has delivered the Repair Notice promptly as practicably possible and the Repair Costs with respect to a Barge exceed, in the case of Repair Costs with respect to Barge A, eighty-five percent (85%) of the Barge A Purchase Price, or, in the case of Repair Costs with respect to Barge B, eighty-five percent (85%) of the Barge B Purchase Price, and if Buyer decides not to elect Option C, within ten (10) Business Days of such decision not to elect Option C, Buyer shall give Seller written notification thereof and upon receipt of such notification Seller shall have the option to exclude from the Acquisition (such option being hereinafter referred to as "Option D") (A) any Barge for which the Repair Costs with respect thereto exceed eighty-five percent (85%) of its Purchase Price and (B) any related Acquired Assets. Seller shall (if it chooses to do so) exercise its rights under this Section 6.6 (e)(ii) by giving Buyer written notice thereof within thirty (30) Business Days following the date that the Repair Notice has been given to Buyer as required by the previous sentence and the Repair Cost has been determined within a reasonable period. In the case where Buyer decides not to elect Option C and Seller elects Option D with respect to both Barges, then Seller, Buyer and the Escrow Agent shall take the respective actions specified in Section 8.3(c) as if the Agreement had been terminated in accordance with Section 8.1
(c) hereof. In the case where Buyer decides not to elect Option C and Seller elects Option D with respect to only one Barge and related Acquired Assets, then (i) the Seller shall, within ten (10) Business Days after electing Option D, pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account (or accounts) as shall have been designated in writing by Buyer to Seller, an amount (in U.S. Dollars) equal to the Partial Termination Payment, if any, (ii) the Escrow Agent shall disburse to Buyer, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Partial Termination Escrow Payment and (iii) upon receipt of the Partial Termination Payment, if any, and the Partial Termination Escrow Payment, Buyer shall release all liens under the Security Agreement


with respect to the Barge and any related Acquired Assets which have been excluded from the Acquisition.

(f) Seller Late Decommission Obligations. If the Closing with respect to one or both of the Barges (the "Delinquent Barge(s)") has not occurred as a result of a Seller Delivery Failure or Seller's failure to perform the Performance Test during the Final Testing Period if directed to perform such in the Wind Down Notice in accordance with
Section 6.6 (a) (ii), as of the following dates, as applicable, (a) the last day of the Delivery Window with respect to the Delinquent Barge (as extended with respect to the Delinquent Barge by a Force Majeure Event, if applicable, pursuant to Section 6.6 (b)), or, in the case of a Minor Delivery Failure or a Major Delivery Failure, (x) if Buyer has elected Option A or Option C-2 with respect to the Delinquent Barge, the last day of the applicable Repair Time with respect to the Delinquent Barge (as extended with respect to the Delinquent Barge by a Force Majeure Event, if applicable, pursuant to Section 6.6 (b)), or (y) if Buyer has elected Option B or Option C with respect to the Delinquent Barge, the applicable Closing Date established by Buyer with respect to the Delinquent Barge pursuant to
Section 6.6 (d) or Section 6.6 (e), as applicable (such date as described in clause (a), (x), or (y), as applicable, being hereinafter referred to as the "Delinquent Date"), Seller Parties shall for the time period (the "Damage Period") commencing on the Delinquent Date and ending on the earliest of, as applicable, (i) the Closing Date for the Delinquent Barge, (ii) the date as of which Buyer elects to exclude the Delinquent Barge from the Acquisition, or (iii) the date which is two hundred seventy (270) days after the Delinquent Date, take the following actions:

(i) Seller shall furnish to Buyer Replacement Power at the Agreed kWh Rate as and when Buyer desires to consume such Replacement Power during each day of the Damage Period;

(ii) to the extent that Seller fails to provide Buyer the Replacement Power in accordance with Section 6.6 (f)(i), then Seller shall pay to Buyer weekly on an estimated basis (to be reconciled at the end of each month when actual costs are available and subject to a late fee of one (1) percent per month if not paid within five (5) days of the end of each month) the costs (the "Replacement Costs Amounts") Buyer incurs to obtain Replacement Power for use in the Dominican Republic because the Market Rates at any time and from time to time exceed the Agreed kWh Rate, as such costs for convenience are determined on a per diem basis for each day during the Damage Period when Seller fails to provide Buyer the Replacement Power in accordance with Section 6.6
(f)(i) (the total of the Replacement Costs Amount, if any, payable by Seller to Buyer hereunder is referred to as the "Seller Late Decommission Payment").

During the Damage Period, Buyer shall first to the extent in service utilize idle power capacity available from generation stations owned by the Buyer and/or its affiliates that are permanently located in the Dominican Republic and are not powered by diesel fuel. Buyer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to procure Replacement Power from alternative sources at commercially reasonable rates based upon then prevailing market conditions (the "Market Rates") if Seller does not provide some or all of such. If, on any day (a "No Power Day") during the Damage Period, some or all Replacement Power is unavailable to Buyer despite Buyer's


using its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain such Replacement Power, Seller shall pay Buyer consequential damages up to a maximum of Ninety Thousand Dollars (U.S. $90,000) per No Power Day for the first ninety (90) No Power Days during the Damage Period and up to a maximum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (U.S. $150,000) per No Power Day for each additional No Power Day during the Damage Period after the first ninety (90) No Power Days. In all cases the foregoing amounts shall be pro rated by multiplying them by the Replacement Power not provided divided by the Replacement Power which was to be provided. Notwithstanding Seller's provision of Replacement Power or payment of Replacement Costs Amount above, to the extent Buyer has not elected to exclude the Delinquent Barge(s) from the Acquisition or to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall satisfy all its obligations hereunder so that the Closing with respect to the Delinquent Barge(s) may occur promptly, and Seller and Buyer agree time is of the essence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Seller Parties provide Replacement Power or pay Buyer the Seller Late Decommission Payment in accordance with this Section 6.6 (f), then, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5 (b), Seller Parties shall not be responsible for any additional monetary damages due to Losses incurred by Buyer as a result of the failure of the Closing to occur with respect to the Delinquent Barge(s) on or prior to the Delinquent Date, but Seller shall continue to be responsible to perform its obligations under the previous sentence.

6.7 Shipping of Acquired Assets from Delivery Point. Seller shall, at its sole expense and cost, dismantle, decommission, pack and otherwise prepare the Acquired Assets for removal in shipping quality consistent with Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall be responsible for the shipping, relocation and installation of the Barges and any other Acquired Assets from the Delivery Point to Buyer's power plant or any other location determined by Buyer. For a period not to exceed ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, at Buyer's request, Seller shall provide (to the extent Seller continues to employ skilled technical personnel), at no additional cost to Buyer, technical consultation (up to a total of 120 man/woman hours) with respect to the relocation, the infrastructure and installation of the Barges and other Acquired Assets as shall be reasonably requested in writing by Buyer.

6.8 Public Announcements. Except as hereafter agreed to in writing by the Parties, the Parties hereby agree that no disclosures with respect to this Agreement or the Acquisition shall be made prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prevent the Parties from announcing the fact that Buyer has contracted with Seller Parties for the purchase of the Acquired Assets in connection with the Mining Project. Notwithstanding the first sentence above, if, in the reasonable judgment of a Party, such Party is required by Law or by the rules of a national securities exchange, to issue any report, statement or press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the Acquisition which would otherwise violate the restrictions contained in the first sentence of this Section 6.8 , then such Party shall be permitted to make such disclosure following reasonable advance notice thereof to the other Parties.

6.9 Tax Matters. After the Closing Date (as applicable), Buyer and Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts and cooperate (without being required to make any payment or incur any economic burden) to provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or


other examination by any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes.

6.10 Confidentiality. Each Party shall keep confidential and shall not disclose to any Person without prior written consent of the other Party (the "Provider") the existence or content of this Agreement, all information (irrespective of written, oral or any other form) received prior to, on or after the date hereof by such Party or its representatives and Affiliates (each, a "Recipient") from the Provider in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Acquisition (the "Confidential Information"); provided, however, that the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its representatives, potential and actual investors, financers, insurers, contractors, suppliers, consultants and Affiliates involved in the Acquisition or the Mining Project; and provided further, however, subject to the requirements of Section 6.8 , Barrick or any Affiliate shall be permitted to announce the fact that it has contracted with Seller Parties to purchase the Acquired Assets in connection with its proposed mining operations. The Recipient shall be liable for any breach by its representatives and Affiliates of any of its confidentiality obligations contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Recipient or any of its representatives or Affiliates is requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable Law or legal process (including rules of any national securities exchange) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Recipient shall notify the Provider promptly so that the Provider may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in the Provider's sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or that the Provider waives compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Recipient shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Recipient is advised by counsel is required and will exercise all reasonable efforts as are practicable to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, however, any Party unconditionally shall be permitted to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission any information regarding this Agreement that it deems advisable in its sole discretion.

6.11 Solicitation by Buyer. Following delivery of the Wind Down Notice, Buyer may solicit the DR Employees for employment, provided, however, that (absent Seller's written consent, which shall not be withheld unreasonably) no DR Employees shall commence employment with the Buyer or its Affiliates until the later to occur of the Closing Date or the Second Closing Date (if applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be obligated to offer to employ any DR Employees or any other Person, and Seller Parties shall indemnify Buyer for any liability Buyer may incur as a result of Law of a Governmental Entity or labor organization, which requires otherwise. Seller and its Affiliates will provide reasonable assistance in the transition of those DR Employees that accept employment with Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.11 . Not later then ten
(10) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of the names of the DR Employees which Buyer will hire as of the Closing Date (the "Chosen DR Employees"). For the period (the "No Hire Period") commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 (if this Agreement is terminated) or (b) the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if applicable, the Second Closing Date), except as otherwise permitted under the terms of this Section 6.11 with respect to DR Employees, Buyer shall not solicit for employment or otherwise hire any person who is (as of any point during the No Hire Period) listed as a restricted employee of Seller or its Affiliates on Schedule 6.11 ("Restricted


Employee"); provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to the extent that such DR Employee (other than a Restricted Employee) has already solicited, responded to a search for employment for, or is already in discussions (directly, through a professional recruiter, online or otherwise) with, Buyer or its Affiliates as of the time of this Agreement; provided further that the foregoing restriction shall not be deemed to include general solicitations of employment (e.g., the use of general advertisements in the media (including trade media) or through the engagement of firms to conduct searches not specifically directed toward the DR Employees).

6.12 Insurance Coverage; Risk of Loss.

(a) Insurance Coverage. From the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain or cause to be maintained, at Seller's expense, insurance coverage on the Acquired Assets in accordance with Schedule 4.14 hereto which may be improved by Buyer at its cost and expense and Seller will promptly use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement any such changes reasonably requested by Buyer in writing.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days thereafter, to assume the defense of such complaint, audit, investigation, action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel. If the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume and continue to diligently prosecute the defense of the audit, investigation, action or proceeding (with respect to which the Indemnified Party is covered hereunder) on the terms provided above within such thirty (30) day period, however, the Indemnified Party may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any such audit, investigation, action or proceeding and, the


Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel as incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one (1) counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single audit, investigation, action or proceeding.

The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, apprised of the status of any matter the defense of which they are maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter. No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Procedures for Direct Claims. If an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement not involving a third party claim covered by Section 7.4 (a) hereof, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the appropriate Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with this Agreement.

9.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Document shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Acquisition is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Document so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Acquisition be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

9.4 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, including by operation of Law, by any Party without the prior written consent of any other Party; provided, however, that Buyer may assign this Agreement to any Financing Party in connection with the financing of the Pueblo Viejo mining and processing project in the Dominican Republic (the "Mining Project"), but, in such case, Buyer shall continue to be bound by the terms hereof.

9.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is exclusively for the benefit of Seller Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, with respect to the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement, and for the benefit of Buyer, and its respective successors and permitted assigns, with respect to the obligations of Seller Parties under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer upon or give to any other third party any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right.

9.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto) and the Ancillary Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

9.7 Governing Law and Choice of Forum.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.10 , this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(b) Subject to the terms of Section 9.7 (c), actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement (except with respect to the Security Agreement, documents, certificates or instruments filed outside the United States of America in connection therewith) shall be heard and determined in any New York federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York (except with respect to the Security Agreement, documents, certificates or instruments filed outside the United States of America in connection therewith); provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such action, such action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York.


Consistent with the preceding sentence, the Parties hereby
(i) submit to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York for the purpose of any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (ii) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above- named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above- named courts.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.7 (b), Buyer or Seller may initiate proceedings seeking specific performance pursuant to Section 9.10 of this Agreement against the other Parties (i) in any federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of the City of New York; provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such action, such action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York, or (ii) in the country of, and under the laws of, (A) the Dominican Republic or (B) any such jurisdiction where the Barges are to be found.

9.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereby (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.8.

9.9 Process Agents. Seller Parties hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Corporation Service Company as their authorized agent upon which process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Documents. Buyer hereby irrevocably designates and appoints National Corporate Research, Ltd. as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Documents.

9.10 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and accordingly the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each Party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy or the defense thereof by a Party claiming that there is an adequate remedy at law.

9.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (including by facsimile) to the other Party.


9.12 Amendment; Modification. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by express written agreement of the Parties.

9.13 Disclosure Schedules. In no event shall the listing of such agreements or other matters in the Schedules be deemed or interpreted to broaden or otherwise amplify Seller Parties' representations and warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document, and nothing in the Schedules shall influence the construction or interpretation of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document. The headings contained in the Schedules are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to modify or influence the interpretation of the information contained in the Schedules or this Agreement. Furthermore, the disclosure of a particular item of information in the Schedules shall not be taken as an admission by Seller Parties that such disclosure is required to be made under the terms of any of such representations and warranties. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule hereto referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Section in this Agreement if such disclosure would permit a reasonable person to find such disclosure relevant to such other Sections. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedules hereto is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

9.14 Waiver. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Each of Seller, Seller Parent and Buyer are sometimes individually referred to in this Amendment as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Parties are parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated September 23, 2008 (capitalized terms used in this Amendment which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to those terms in the Purchase Agreement);

WHEREAS, the Parties have now completed the Pre-Effective Date Inspection and, based on the results of that Inspection, now desire to take steps to establish the Effective Date; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Purchase Agreement in certain respects as hereinafter provided;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective covenants and agreements contained in this Amendment, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Effective Date.

1.1 Pre-Effective Date Inspection. The Pre-Effective Date Inspection was completed as of January 14, 2009. A copy of the Pre-Effective Date Inspection summary of results and an accompanying cover letter, dated January 14, 2009, were delivered by Seller and Seller Parent to Buyer. Seller, Seller Parent and Buyer subsequently agreed to certain changes to some of the Pre-Effective Date Inspection summary results, which were memorialized in a cover letter dated February 11, 2009 from Seller and Seller Parent to Buyer attaching the updated results of the Pre-Effective Date Inspection.

1.2 Effective Date Certificate. On February 13, 2009, Buyer delivered the Effective Date Certificate to Seller and Seller Parent (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I).


1.3 Effective Date. Seller and Seller Parent hereby waive their right to give Buyer a Baseline Termination Notice, and the Parties hereby agree, notwithstanding anything in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, as follows:

(a) The Effective Date shall be deemed to be March 2, 2009; and

(b) Pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Agent the sum of Fifteen Million Dollars (U.S. $15,000,000) as the Effective Escrow Deposit on or before March 3, 2009.

Section 2. Amendments.

The Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) The definitions set forth in Section 1.1 of the Purchase Agreement for the terms "Baseline Hull Condition," "Baseline Performance Levels" and "Effective Date" are hereby deleted in their entirety and the following definitions are hereby substituted in lieu thereof:

"Baseline Hull Condition" means the state of the Barges' hulls, as determined based upon the Pre- Effective Date Inspection (tested in accordance with the Hull Test Guidelines and the Hull Test Procedures, listed in Schedule 1.1(a)) and set forth in Exhibit A to the Effective Date Certificate, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall take into account, in the case of the covenants to be performed by Seller pursuant to Section 6.2(a) and the tests and covenants to be performed in connection with the Closing in accordance with Section 6.6, any tolerance or degradation, in the case of pitting, to the extent, but only to the extent, of pitting permitted as set forth in Table 4 (Pitting intensity and corresponding maximum average depth of pitting), in the case of the thickness of the "Neutral Axis Zone" or the "Bottom Zone" of the hull of each Barge, to the extent, but only to the extent, of wastage permitted as set forth in the "Neutral Axis Zone" and the "Bottom Zone" sections, respectively, of Table 5 (Local and global acceptance criteria for general cargo ships (given in % of wastage)), and, with respect to matters other than pitting and thickness, as otherwise expressly permitted by the Hull Test Guidelines and the Hull Test Procedures. Notwithstanding the Pre-Effective Date Inspection results with respect to the state of the Barges' hull thickness, the Baseline Hull Condition hull thickness of each of the Barges shall be deemed to be no greater than the original manufactured thickness of such Barge.

"Baseline Performance Levels" means those levels, as determined based upon the Pre-Effective Date Inspection and set forth in Exhibit B to the Effective Date Certificate, for the Heat Rate Baseline, the Net Electrical Capacity Baseline, the Capacity Factor Baseline, the Lubricating Oil Consumption Baseline, the Stack Emissions Baseline, the Noise Emissions Baseline and the Effluent Emissions Baseline (with respect to the Generation Assets operating individually or simultaneously in compliance with all applicable Laws and within acceptable


operating limits as recommended by the manufacturer and specified in the manufacturer's operations and maintenance manuals), tested in accordance with the Performance Test Guidelines and the Performance Test Procedures, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall take into account, in the case of the covenants to be performed by Seller pursuant to Section 6.2(a) and the tests and covenants to be performed in connection with the Closing in accordance with Section 6.6, (a) any tolerance or degradation expressly permitted by the Performance Test Guidelines and Performance Test Procedures and (b) with respect to the Noise Emissions Baseline, the fact that Seller's obligations shall be limited as provided in Section
4.F.3 of Schedule 1.1(d).

"Effective Date" means March 2, 2009.

(b) The following definitions are hereby added to Section 1.1 of the Purchase Agreement, in alphabetical order:

"Table 4" means the narrative information under part 4.5 and the following Table 4: Pitting intensity and corresponding maximum average depth of pitting, which is set forth in Chapter 2 Appendix 3 (Thickness Measurements:
Extent, Determination of Locations, Acceptance Criteria) of the Rules for the Classification of Steel Ships - Part A Classification and Surveys published by Bureau Veritas (May 2006) and which is attached hereto as Schedule 1.1(j).

"Table 5" means the narrative information under part 4.5 and the following Table 5: Local and global acceptance criteria for general cargo ships (given in % of wastage), which is set forth in Chapter 2, Appendix 3 (Thickness Measurements: Extent, Determination of Locations, Acceptance Criteria) of the Rules for the Classification of Steel Ships - Part A Classification and Surveys published by Bureau Veritas (May 2006) and which is attached hereto as Schedule 1.1(j).

(c) Schedule 1.1(j), which is attached to this Amendment, is hereby deemed attached to the Purchase Agreement as a part thereof.

(d) Subparagraph (c) of Section 2.11 (Conditions Precedent to Release of the Effective Escrow Deposit) of the Purchase Agreement is amended to read as follows:

"(c) an official certificate of registration (i) of a valid and perfected naval mortgage (hipoteca naval) in the Barges in the Dominican Republic (based on the execution and delivery of the Hipoteca Naval in accordance with Section 2.8) and (ii) of a valid and perfected lien and security interest in the other Acquired Assets (other than the Concession) (based on the execution and delivery of the Contrato de Prenda sin Desapoderamiento in accordance with Section 6.19(f));"

(e) As noted in the results of the Pre-Effective Date Inspection, the test of the oil and grease concentration of the Effluent Emissions resulted in a reading of 15.7 mg/l for Barge A against a maximum allowable concentration of 10 mg/l. Section 6.6(a)(ii)


(Baseline Performance Levels) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence as the last sentence of that Section:

"Prior to the Wind Down Date, Seller shall make any repairs and/or improvements to Barge A which are necessary to enable Barge A to meet the Baseline Performance Level for the Effluent Emissions Baseline."

(f) Section 6.6(a)(iii) (Hull Inspection) of the Purchase Agreement shall be amended by adding the following sentences as the third and fourth sentences of that Section (immediately following the sentence in that Section which begins "If a Barge does not meet . . ."), with the remainder of that Section continuing in effect as currently set forth in the Purchase Agreement:

"If there is any disagreement between Buyer or Seller as to whether a Barge meets the Baseline Hull Condition, then the final determination with respect to that issue shall be made by an independent and reputable expert mutually selected by Buyer and Seller promptly following Buyer's inspection of the Barges' hulls. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the pitting or hull thickness of each of the Barge(s) only, if there is pitting or hull wastage, in either case, in excess of that permitted by the Baseline Hull Condition as determined in accordance with the Hull Test Guidelines and such condition is not repaired by the last day of the Delivery Window, then such condition shall be deemed to be a Minor Delivery Failure and Buyer shall be required to elect Option B under Section 6.6(d) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be entitled to elect Option A) with respect to the Minor Delivery Failure caused by such condition."

(g) The initial clause of the first sentence of Section
6.6(a)(iv) (Known Hull Repair Issues) of the Purchase Agreement (which reads "Seller shall repair the Known Hull Repair Issues in a reasonable manner within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date hereof") shall be amended to read as follows:

"Seller shall repair the Known Hull Repair Issues in a reasonable manner within one hundred eighty (180) days following February 23, 2009;"

and the remainder of that sentence shall continue in effect as set out in the Purchase Agreement without change.

(h) Section 6.6(a)(v) (Allocation) of the Purchase Agreement shall be amended to read as follows:

"(v) Allocation. Notwithstanding anything in
Section 6.6(a)(iii) or Section 6.6(a)(iv) to the contrary, it is understood that (a) to the extent Required Repairs or repairs for Known Hull Repair Issues are performed by


Buyer after the Closing, (b) those repairs are made to correct any pitting or deteriorated shell plating on a Barge's hull where pitting or deterioration exceeds that permitted by the Baseline Hull Condition, and (c) Buyer elects to make repairs to the shell plating such that, following such repairs, the remaining pitting or deterioration to the repaired area is less than that permitted by the Baseline Hull Condition then, for the purposes of Section 6.6(a)(iii) or Section 6.6(a)(iv), the actual cost of making the Required Repairs or the repairs for Known Hull Repair Issues, as relates to such shell plating, shall be determined on a pro rata basis (thus, for example, if the relevant deterioration permitted by the Baseline Hull Condition was 30% and the actual deterioration was 35% of original manufactured thickness pre-repair and there was no (0%) deterioration from original manufactured thickness post-repair, then one-seventh (1/7th) (5% divided by 35%) of the applicable repair costs would be deemed the cost of the applicable Required Repairs or repairs for Known Hull Repair Issues while the remaining six-sevenths (6/7ths) of the applicable repair costs would be disregarded for the purposes of Section 6.6(a)(iii) or Section 6.6(a)(iv), as applicable."

(i) Schedule 1.1(a) (Hull Test Guidelines for Minimum Hull Standards) of the Purchase Agreement and Schedule 1.1(g) (Hull Maintenance) of the Purchase Agreement are hereby replaced in their entirety by Schedule 1.1(a) (Hull Test Guidelines for Minimum Hull Standards) and Schedule 1.1(g) (Hull Maintenance), respectively, which are attached to this Amendment.

(j) In the definition of "Stack Emissions Baseline Tolerance" in part 1 (Definitions) of Schedule 1.1(d) (Performance Test Guidelines) of the Purchase Agreement, the four (4) references to "2,200 mg/Nm3" are hereby deleted and, in lieu thereof, are inserted references to "2,300 mg/Nm3."

(k) Schedule 1.1(i) (Known Hull Repair Issues) or the Purchase Agreement shall be amended by adding the following paragraph under the section entitled "Barge B - Known Hull Repair Issues:"

"2. The Cathodic Protection System shall be serviced and/or repaired as necessary to repair the issues listed in the report of Miami Diver, Inc., dated 16 October 2008, with respect to Barge B (Job Number 08510) under the section entitled "Cathodic Protection System" (a copy of which report is attached to the Effective Date Certificate, dated February 13, 2008)."

Section 3. Fulfillment of Certain Conditions.

3.1 Security Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Amendment, Seller and Buyer have executed and delivered the Security Agreement in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Purchase Agreement.


3.2 Certificates. Pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Purchase Agreement, as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date, Seller is to deliver, or cause to be delivered, certain certifications/ confirmations (which deliveries are conditions precedent to the release of the Effective Escrow Deposit). As of the date hereof, the Parties acknowledge that the following items have been delivered to Buyer:

(a) an official certification from the Internal Revenue Directorate (Dirreci?n General de Impuestos Internos) in the Dominican Republic, dated January 29, 2009, confirming that Seller is in compliance with its fiscal obligations;

(b) official certifications, dated February 5, 2009, from the Naval Ministry (Marina de Guerra) in the Dominican Republic confirming that the Barges are registered in the Dominican Republic;

(c) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of Seller Parties certifying that the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date, except for (i) representations and warranties which are as of a specific date, which were true and correct in all material respects as of such date, and (ii) where the failure to be true and correct would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or have a material adverse effect on the ability of Seller to consummate the Acquisition; and

(d) written confirmation that the Chase Lien has been satisfied in full and discharged of record, as evidenced by a search performed by Buyer's Bermuda counsel.

Section 4. Miscellaneous.

4.1 Binding Effect. This Amendment and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

4.2 Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

4.3 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (including by facsimile) to the other Party.

4.4 Amendment; Modification. This Amendment may only be amended, modified or supplemented by express written agreement of the Parties.

4.5 Continuing Effect. The Purchase Agreement, as amended pursuant to the terms hereof, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Letter to Stockholders

Despite the chaotic and extraordinary business climate in 2008, we managed to post reasonable returns, which, in light of the global financial crisis, is a testament to our model of a diverse mix of vertically integrated commodity businesses. Given the loss of confidence in the private sector, the tightening of credit from financial institutions and the severe recession worldwide, we are fortunate to be in basic industries that may falter but should not fail when managed carefully and conservatively. With government intervention around the world now a major force in the fundamental workings of economies, we don't expect a turnaround to a healthier market-driven economy for an extended period. Needless to say, these are startling times.

In 2008, we achieved the highest revenue in the Company's history at more than $4.2 billion, mostly as a result of higher unit prices and, to a lesser extent, because of increased unit volume. Operating income of $121.8 million was 28% less than in 2007 and 47% less than our trailing five-year average. Generally, margins suffered due to higher costs, but prices of our main inputs, namely grain, energy and transportation, declined sharply in the latter half of the year and we hope it will be less volatile going forward. In 2008, the price fluctuations of these cost components were nothing short of astounding, and we did a credible job of managing the risks. Of grave concern is the abrupt slowdown in economies around the world and the potential for protectionism and shrinking international trade. We are vulnerable in all major divisions as our reliance on exports from the U.S. and a market-driven economy are critical components of our success.

On the bright side, the Commodity Trading and Milling Division had an unprecedented year in sales and operating income and far surpassed its previous records in both areas. Well managed grain and ocean freight positions, expanded trade with third parties, including results of our newly formed Rice business, and generally improved margins all contributed toward sales of $1.9 billion and operating income of $ 96.5 million. As wheat and feed ingredient prices moderated in the last half of the year, our milling volumes recovered at many locations in Africa and the Americas, and we look forward to stability and perhaps growth in market share in select countries. This past year, we altered several company structures at overseas locations through mergers, closures, expansions and additions, and we will continue to make such changes where we believe it makes sense and when it affords us an opportunity to improve our competitive position. We continue to expand our integrated model of supplying third parties and our own affiliates with grain and grain by-products.

Seaboard Foods endured another year of high feed costs without a commensurate offset of higher product prices. Congress has not, to date, legislated changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard, which mandates increased production of biofuels through 2012. The unintended consequence of this provision of the U.S. Energy Policy Act is the linking of the price of corn-based ethanol with that of fossil fuels. As a result, the production costs of all animal proteins, including pork, have risen dramatically due to higher ingredient prices. We are optimistic that this will get resolved in the long term through market forces. Until then, total meat supply, including beef and poultry, should shrink, causing a better balance between cost and revenue for our vertically integrated pork operations.

In Guymon, Oklahoma, we completed construction of our 30-million- gallon biodiesel facility and began production during the second quarter. This plant allows us to use our own animal fat as well as raw materials from third parties as inputs. During the startup, we experienced some operational difficulties and incurred negative margins for the year, but we expect better results in 2009. We also have enhanced our process to comply with all newly implemented ASTM standards, which will allow us to meet European quality requirements and ship biofuel to these markets in the future. In addition, during the first half of 2009, we expect to complete the construction of our ham-boning operation in Reynosa, Mexico, and commence operations there, which will give us the flexibility to produce additional value-added products for the high-volume Mexican market.

2009 also will be a challenging year as processing margins have narrowed sharply and hog production losses will continue at least through the spring. One mitigating factor in 2008 was that, once again, the U.S. pork industry set a new record volume of exports with a 49% year-over-year increase. Although analysts are predicting a marginal decrease in these volumes in 2009, we are optimistic that continued strong exports will support domestic prices. Currency levels, trade policies and economic health will significantly affect the level of pork exports that we realize in 2009.

In April 2008, Seaboard Foods published its first sustainability report entitled "Sustainability & Stewardship." We are very excited about the release of this report as it illustrates the significant commitment that our company has made in the areas of quality, customer service, employees, environment, animal care and civic responsibility.

Seaboard Marine had another good year enjoying record volumes and revenues. Managing costs, particularly fluctuating fuel and charter hire costs, has been challenging with overall margins narrowing. Considerable effort has been made to control expenses, improve customer service through increased frequency of port calls and solidify our


U.S. and outport terminal infrastructures with capital programs. Of note, we extended our terminal lease at the Port of Miami through 2028, began vessel calls to and from Brooklyn, NY, and expanded our terminal facilities in Colombia and the Dominican Republic. We continue to upgrade our container fleet and hope to capitalize on lower ship values to upgrade our fleet of vessels.

The worldwide container shipping industry will be plagued by overcapacity in 2009 largely because of the global economic downturn. Given that Seaboard Marine's business hinges on healthy multilateral trade within the Americas, more so than in other global trade lanes, it is critical that government trade policies and local economies within our regions remain market driven and robust. These elements are in play this year, and a confluence of negative factors could affect volumes and rates for Seaboard Marine.

Our Sugar and Citrus operation in Argentina struggled this past year despite the fact we realized higher revenue. Although sugar margins remained positive, citrus posted negative margins. Amid higher labor and administrative costs, operating income was down sharply. We are reviewing our position in the citrus business this year with a view toward mitigating some of the risks inherent in the fresh fruit and juice business.

The Argentine Government continues to attempt to manage inflation by putting price controls on certain staples and imposing export taxes on critical agricultural products. This has resulted in a degree of political unrest among farmers, in particular, and in the business community as a whole. Because the sugar industry is a large employer in many underdeveloped regions of Argentina, we don't expect the government's actions to significantly affect our business, except for its support of higher labor costs. On the positive side, the government has legislated a biofuels program that will create domestic demand for ethanol. The new law should reduce the amount of sugar that the country and Tabacal export each year at market-clearing world prices. Recent and ongoing investments in boiler and distillery capacity will give us the flexibility to use sugar cane production to manufacture either sugar or alcohol for the local market. With the planned completion of our investment in co-generation in 2010, we will have an extremely cost-efficient and flexible facility that will maximize revenue from our farm production. Since our acquisition in 1996, we have continually channeled profits into improving the productive assets of the Company, and we now have a world class sugar cane production and processing complex that should provide the necessary cash flows to return deployed capital.

Our power generation business in the Dominican Republic performed well in 2008 with increased operating income. With formula-driven sales contracts with private users and government-related entities, the success of the business is determined by cost containment and efficient performance of heavy fuel engines. On March 2, 2009, we provisionally sold our power barges to a company that plans to deploy them to another location in early 2011. Until then, we will continue to run the business and fulfill our contractual obligations to our current power users. Given our working knowledge of the power industry in the Dominican Republic, our equity investment in a 300-MW facility and the goodwill we believe we have built among our customer base, we plan to explore alternative energy investments in this country. We have enjoyed the support of the Dominican Republic government and the business community for 20 years and would like to remain invested in this country.

Over the last five years (2004-2008), Seaboard has enjoyed a reasonable measure of success with regard to share price, stockholder's equity and revenue, realizing increases of 323%, 180% and 115%, respectively. Going forward, we face a different set of challenges with many factors outside of our control. However, we can work to manage costs and business risks, fortify our business model through integration and expansion and create a healthy work environment and company culture. It is our hope that we can accomplish this and, if successful, we can repeat and perhaps exceed our past financial performance.

As always, I am extremely appreciative of the hard work, integrity and company spirit that I see demonstrated day in and day out at Seaboard. I am grateful to be a part of this organization and I hope, as fellow shareholders, you are as well.

Division Summaries

Pork Division

Seaboard's Pork Division is one of the largest vertically integrated pork processors in the United States. Seaboard is able to control animal production and processing from research and development in nutrition and genetics, to the production of high quality meat products at our processing facility.

Seaboard's processing facility is located in Guymon, Oklahoma. The facility has a daily double shift capacity to process approximately 18,500 hogs and generally operates at capacity with additional weekend shifts depending on market conditions. During 2008, the Pork Division made modifications to its processing plant that increased daily double shift capacity from approximately 16,800 hogs to approximately 18,500 hogs. Seaboard produces and sells fresh and frozen pork products to further processors, foodservice operators, grocery stores, distributors and retail outlets throughout the United States. Seaboard also sells to distributors and further processors in Japan, Mexico and other foreign markets. Hogs processed at the plant principally include Seaboard-raised hogs as well as hogs raised by third parties purchased under contract and in the spot market.

Seaboard's hog production facilities consist of genetic and commercial breeding, farrowing, nursery and finishing buildings located in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Colorado. These facilities have a capacity to produce approximately 4.0 million hogs annually. Seaboard owns and operates six centrally located feed mills to provide formulated feed to these facilities and has additional feed milling capacity to support future growth.

Seaboard's Pork Division also owns two bacon processing plants located in Salt Lake City, Utah and Missoula, Montana. The processing plants produce sliced and pre-cooked bacon primarily for food service. These operations represent Seaboard's recent expansion of its integrated pork model into value-added products and are expected to enhance Seaboard's ability to extend production to include other further processed pork products.

In the second quarter of 2008, Seaboard commenced production of biodiesel at a new facility constructed in Guymon, Oklahoma. The biodiesel is produced from pork fat from Seaboard's Guymon pork processing plant and from animal fat supplied by non-Seaboard facilities. The biodiesel is sold to a third party. The facility can also produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Also during 2008, Seaboard entered into an agreement to build and operate a majority-owned ham-boning and processing plant in Mexico. The plant is currently expected to be completed in the first half of 2009.

Seaboard's Pork Division has an agreement with a similar size pork processor, Triumph Foods LLC (Triumph), to market all of the pork products produced at Triumph's plant in St. Joseph, Missouri. Pursuant to this agreement, Seaboard is able to provide the same quality assured products to its customers that are produced in its own facilities. The plant began operations in January 2006 and Seaboard began marketing the related pork products for a fee primarily based on the number of head processed by Triumph Foods and is entitled to be reimbursed for certain expenses.

Commodity Trading & Milling Division

Seaboard's Commodity Trading & Milling Division markets grain and oilseed products overseas to third party customers and affiliated companies. These commodities are purchased worldwide with primary destinations in Africa, South America, and the Caribbean.

The division annually sources, transports and markets approximately 4.2 million metric tons of wheat, corn, soybean meal, rice and other related commodities to the food and animal feed industries. The division efficiently provides quality products and reliable services to industrial customers in selected markets. Seaboard integrates the delivery of commodities to its customers primarily through the use of company owned and chartered bulk carriers.

Seaboard's Commodity Trading and Milling Division has facilities in 17 countries. The commodity trading business operates through seven offices in six countries and one non-consolidated affiliate location in South America. The grain processing businesses operate facilities at 25 locations in 12 countries and include four consolidated and nine non-consolidated affiliates in Africa, South America, and the Caribbean. These businesses produce approximately 2.5 million metric tons of finished product per year.


Marine Division

Seaboard's Marine Division provides containerized shipping service between the United States, the Caribbean Basin, and Central and South America. Seaboard's primary operations, located in Miami, include a 135,000 square-foot off-port warehouse for cargo consolidation and temporary storage and an 81 acre terminal at the Port of Miami. At the Port of Houston, Seaboard operates a 62 acre cargo terminal facility that includes approximately 690,000 square feet of on-dock warehouse space for temporary storage of bagged grains, resins and other cargoes. Seaboard also makes scheduled vessel calls to Brooklyn, New York, Fernandina Beach, Florida, New Orleans, Louisiana and 40 foreign ports.

Seaboard's marine fleet consists of 12 owned and about 27 chartered vessels, as well as approximately 55,000 dry, refrigerated and specialized containers and units of related equipment. Seaboard is the largest shipper in terms of cargo volume to and from the Port of Miami. Seaboard Marine provides direct service to 25 countries. Seaboard also provides extended service from our domestic ports of call to and from multiple foreign destinations through a network of connecting carrier agreements with major regional and global carriers.

To maximize fleet utilization, Seaboard uses a network of offices and agents throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean Basin to book both northbound and southbound cargo to and from the United States and between the countries it serves. Seaboard's full service capabilities, including agreements with a network of connecting carriers, allow transport by truck or rail of import and export cargo to and from various U.S. ports. Seaboard's frequent sailings and fixed-day schedules make it convenient for customers to coordinate manufacturing schedules and maintain inventories at cost-efficient levels. Seaboard's approach is to work in partnership with its customers to provide the most reliable and effective level of service throughout the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean Basin and between the countries it serves.

Other Divisions

In Argentina, Seaboard is involved in the production and refining of sugar and the production and processing of citrus products. These products are primarily marketed locally with some exports to the United States, other South American countries and Europe. Seaboard's mill, one of the largest in Argentina, has a processing capacity of approximately 230,000 metric tons of sugar and approximately 13 million gallons of alcohol per year. During 2008, construction was completed on the alcohol distillery operation which increased annual alcohol production capacity from about four million gallons to approximately 13 million gallons. The mill is located in the Salta Province of northern Argentina with administrative offices in Buenos Aires. Approximately 60,000 acres of land owned by Seaboard in Argentina is planted with sugar cane, which supplies the majority of the raw product processed by the mill. In addition, approximately 3,000 acres of land is planted with orange trees. Depending on local harvest and market conditions, sugar and citrus may be purchased from third parties for resale. During 2008 this division began construction of a 40 megawatt cogeneration power plant, which is expected to be completed in 2010.

Seaboard owns two floating electric power generating facilities in the Dominican Republic, consisting of a system of diesel engines mounted on barges with a combined rated capacity of approximately 112 megawatts. Seaboard operates as an independent power producer generating electricity for the local power grid. Seaboard is not directly involved in the transmission or distribution of electricity but does have contracts to sell directly to third party users. Electricity is sold under contract to certain large commercial users, under a short-term contract with a government-owned distribution company and on the spot market that is accessed by three wholly or partially government-owned distribution companies and limited others. On March 2, 2009, an agreement became effective under which Seaboard will sell the two barges. Completion of the sale is dependent upon the satisfaction of several conditions, including meeting certain baseline performance and emission tests. Failure to satisfy or cure any deficiencies could result in the agreement being terminated. Seaboard is considering options to continue its power business in the Dominican Republic after the sale of these assets is completed.

As of December 31, 2006, Seaboard adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 158 (SFAS 158), "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans." The adoption of SFAS 158 reduced stockholders equity by $25,014,000 as an adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, Seaboard made a one-time election to repatriate previously permanently invested foreign earnings resulting in a total tax expense of approximately $11,586,000, recognized a tax benefit of $21,428,000 for the finalization of certain tax years as a result of a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service and recognized a tax benefit of $4,977,000 as a result of an agreement with the Puerto Rican Treasury department that favorably resolved certain prior years' tax issues. The net effect of these events was an increase in net earnings of $14,819,000, or $11.78 per common share on a diluted earnings basis for the year. See Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

In January 2005, Seaboard agreed to a tax settlement related to prior year tax returns resulting in a tax benefit of $14,356,000, or $11.44 per common share, which was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2004.

In the fourth quarter of 2004, Seaboard recognized a $3,592,000 decline in value considered other than temporary in its investment in a Bulgarian wine business as a charge to loss from foreign affiliates. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. As a result of its decision to sell this equity investment, in the fourth quarter of 2004, Seaboard recharacterized the related accounting for income tax purposes from ordinary to capital losses, which resulted in the reversal of a previously recorded tax benefit of $5,795,000 related to prior year losses. The effect of these fourth quarter events related to this business was a decrease in net earnings of $9,387,000, or $7.48 per common share.


Company Performance Graph

The Securities and Exchange Commission requires a five-year comparison of stock performance for Seaboard with that of an appropriate broad equity market index and similar industry index. Seaboard's common stock is traded on the NYSE Alternext US (formerly the American Stock Exchange). On October 1, 2008, the NYSE Euronext completed its acquisition of the American Stock Exchange. The new entity is known as NYSE Alternext US, however the index is still referred to as the AMEX Composite and provides an appropriate comparison for Seaboard's stock performance. Because there is no single industry index to compare stock performance, the companies comprising the Dow Jones Food and Marine Transportation Industry indices (the "Peer Group") were chosen as the second comparison.

The following graph shows a five-year comparison of cumulative total return for Seaboard, the AMEX Composite Index and the companies comprising the Dow Jones Food and Marine Transportation Industry indices weighted by market capitalization for the five fiscal years commencing December 31, 2003, and ending December 31, 2008. The information presented in the performance graph is historical in nature and is not intended to represent or guarantee future returns.

See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.


Management's Discussion & Analysis

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Seaboard is a diverse agribusiness and transportation company with global operations in several industries. Most of the sales and costs of Seaboard's segments are significantly influenced by worldwide fluctuations in commodity prices or changes in foreign political and economic conditions. Accordingly, sales, operating income and cash flows can fluctuate significantly from year to year. As each segment operates in unrelated industries and different geographical locations, management evaluates their operations separately. Seaboard's reporting segments are based on information used by Seaboard's Chief Executive Officer in his capacity as chief operating decision maker to determine allocation of resources and assess performance.

Pork Segment

The Pork segment is primarily a domestic business with some export sales to Japan, Mexico, and other foreign markets. Revenues from the sale of pork products are primarily generated from a single hog processing plant in Guymon, Oklahoma, which operates at double shift capacity and two bacon further processing plants located in Salt Lake City, Utah and Missoula, Montana. In 2008, Seaboard raised about 75% of the hogs processed at the Guymon plant with the remaining hog requirements purchased primarily under contracts from independent producers. This segment is Seaboard's most capital intensive segment with approximately 61% of Seaboard's fixed assets and material dollar amounts for live hog inventories.

Of Seaboard's businesses, management believes the Pork segment also has the greatest exposure to commodity price fluctuations. As a result, this segment's operating income and cash flows can materially fluctuate from year to year, significantly affecting Seaboard's consolidated operating income and cash flows. Sales prices are directly affected by both domestic and worldwide supply and demand for pork products and other proteins. Feed costs are the most significant single component of the cost of raising hogs and can be materially affected by prices for corn and soybean meal. In addition, costs can be materially affected by market prices for hogs purchased from third parties for processing at the plant.

The Pork segment constructed a processing plant to produce biodiesel to be sold to a third party. Biodiesel is produced from pork fat from Seaboard's Guymon pork processing plant and from animal fat provided by other parties. The processing plant also can produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. This plant was completed in the second quarter of 2008. During 2007 and 2008, the Pork segment constructed additional hog finishing space to allow hogs more time to reach the desired weight for processing at the Guymon plant. During 2008, modifications were made to the Guymon hog processing plant that increased daily double shift processing capacity from approximately 16,800 hogs to 18,500 hogs. As the Guymon plant operates at capacity, to improve operating income Seaboard is constantly working towards improving the efficiencies of the Pork operations as well as considering ways to increase margins by expanding product offerings.

In April 2008, the Pork segment entered into an agreement to build and operate a majority-owned ham-boning and processing plant in Mexico. This plant is currently expected to be completed in the first half of 2009. During the second quarter of 2008, Seaboard decided to indefinitely delay previously announced plans to expand its processed meats capabilities by either constructing a separate further processing plant, primarily for bacon, or acquiring an existing facility.

During 2006, Triumph Foods began production at its pork processing plant located in St. Joseph, Missouri, and Seaboard began marketing the related pork products for a fee primarily based on the number of head processed by Triumph Foods. This plant has a capacity similar to that of Seaboard's Guymon plant and operates upon an integrated model similar to that of Seaboard's. Triumph Foods reached full double shift operating capacity during 2007. Seaboard's sales prices for its pork products are primarily based on a margin sharing arrangement that considers the average sales price and mix of products sold from both Seaboard's and Triumph Food's hog processing plants.


Commodity Trading and Milling Segment

The Commodity Trading and Milling segment primarily operates overseas with locations in Africa, Bermuda, South America, the Caribbean and Europe. These foreign operations can be significantly impacted by local crop production, political instability, local government policies, economic and industry conditions, and currency fluctuations. This segment's sales are also significantly affected by fluctuating prices of various commodities, such as wheat, corn, soybean meal and rice. Although this segment owns eight ships, most of the third party trading business is transacted with chartered ships. Charter hire rates, influenced by available charter capacity for worldwide trade in bulk cargoes, and related fuel costs also affect business volumes and margins as they did during the recent period of extreme price volatility. The milling businesses, both consolidated and non-consolidated affiliates, operate in foreign and, in most cases, lesser developed countries. Subsidized wheat and flour exports can create fluctuating market conditions that can have a significant impact on both the trading and milling businesses' sales and operating income.

The majority of the Commodity Trading and Milling segment's sales pertain to the commodity trading business. Grain is sourced from domestic and international locations and delivery of grains to third party and affiliate customers in various international locations. The execution of these purchase and delivery transactions have long cycles of completion which may extend for several months with a high degree of price volatility. As a result, these factors can significantly affect sales volumes, operating income, working capital and related cash flows from quarter-to-quarter.

Seaboard concentrates on the supply of raw materials to its core milling operations and to third party commodity trades in support of these milling operations. Seaboard continues to seek opportunities in trading and milling businesses in order to achieve greater scale, volumes and profitability.

Marine Segment

The Marine segment provides containerized cargo shipping services primarily from the United States to 25 different countries in the Caribbean Basin, and Central and South America. As a result, fluctuations in economic conditions or unstable political situations in the countries in which Seaboard operates can affect import/export trade volumes. In prior years, when certain countries experienced such instability, Seaboard's volumes and operating profits were significantly affected. In addition, containerized cargo rates can fluctuate depending on local supply and demand for shipping services. This segment time-charters or leases the majority of its ocean cargo vessels and is also affected by fluctuations in charter hire rates and fuel costs.

In recent years, Seaboard was able to raise cargo rates in most markets, which has helped offset higher charter hire rates and fuel costs. As a result of cargo volume growth in recent years, this segment's need for vessels and cargo carrying and handling equipment has increased and is expected to increase further during the next couple of years. Seaboard continues to explore ways to increase volumes on existing routes while seeking opportunities to broaden its route structure in the region.

Sugar and Citrus Segment

Seaboard's Sugar and Citrus segment operates a vertically integrated sugar and citrus production and processing complex in Argentina. This segment's sales and operating income are significantly affected by local and worldwide sugar prices. Yields from the Argentine sugar harvest can have an impact on the local price of sugar. Also, but to a lesser degree, price fluctuations in the world market can affect local sugar prices and export sales volumes and prices. Depending on local harvest and market conditions, this business purchases from third parties sugar and citrus for resale. Over the past several years, Seaboard made various modifications to this business to improve the efficiency of its operations.

The functional currency of the Sugar and Citrus segment is the Argentine peso. The currency exchange rate can have an impact on reported U.S. dollar sales, operating income and cash flows. Financing needs for the foreseeable future will remain high for this operation as a result of ongoing expansion of sugar production, construction of a 40 megawatt cogeneration power plant expected to be completed in 2010, and the payment of debt. Seaboard continues to explore ways to improve and expand its existing operations while considering other alternatives to expand this segment.


All Other Segments

All Other segments primarily represents results from Seaboard's Power division located in the Dominican Republic (DR). The Power division operates as an unregulated independent power producer in the DR generating power from diesel engines mounted on two barges. This division's financing needs have been minimal for the existing operations. During the past few years, operating cash flows have fluctuated from inconsistent customer collections. Seaboard has contracts to sell approximately 45% of the power it generates to certain government-approved commercial large users under long-term contracts. Seaboard also has a short- term contract for approximately 40% of its power with a government-owned distribution company. This short-term contract exposes Seaboard to a concentrated credit risk as the customer, from time to time, has significant past due balances. Energy produced in excess of contracted amounts is sold on the spot market primarily to three wholly or partially government-owned distribution companies or other power producers who lack sufficient power production to service their customers. Seaboard continues to pursue additional commercial contract customers, which would reduce dependency on the government for liquidity.

The DR regulatory body schedules power production based on the amount of funds available to pay for the power produced and the relative costs of the power produced. Fuel is the largest cost component, but increases in fuel prices generally have been passed on to customers. See footnote 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion on a pending sale of the two barges in the near future. Seaboard is considering options to continue its power business in the Dominican Republic after the sale is completed. In addition, Seaboard is pursuing additional investment opportunities in the power industry.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Summary of Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash and short-term investments as of December 31, 2008 increased $39.3 million from December 31, 2007, while cash from operating activities was $109.9 million for 2008. The increase was primarily the result of the combination of cash from operating activities, an increase in notes payable of $79.4 million in excess of cash used for capital expenditures of $134.6 million, scheduled principal payments of long-term debt of $11.7 million and $5.0 million used to repurchase common stock as discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Cash from operating activities for 2008 decreased $33.9 million compared to 2007, primarily reflecting lower net earnings for the year.

Cash and short-term investments as of December 31, 2007 decreased $176.2 million from December 31, 2006, while cash from operating activities was $143.9 million for 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of cash being used for capital expenditures of $164.2 million, a payment of $61.3 million for the repurchase of the minority interest as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, scheduled principal payments of long-term debt of $63.5 million and $30.5 million used to repurchase common stock as discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Cash from operating activities for 2007 decreased $139.9 million compared to 2006, primarily reflecting lower net earnings for the year and increases in working capital needs in the Commodity Trading and Milling segment primarily for increased amounts of receivables and inventory.

Capital Expenditures, Acquisitions and Other Investing Activities

During 2008 Seaboard invested $134.6 million in property, plant and equipment, of which $52.6 million was expended in the Pork segment, $46.3 million in the Marine segment, $31.0 million in the Sugar and Citrus segment and $4.7 million in the remaining businesses. For the Pork segment, $12.8 million was spent constructing additional hog finishing space, $9.3 million was spent on the construction of a biodiesel plant and $8.2 million was spent on the ham-boning and processing plant discussed below. For the Marine segment, $36.5 million was spent to purchase cargo carrying and handling equipment. In the Sugar and Citrus segment, $10.4 million was used for development of the cogeneration power plant with the remaining capital expenditures being used primarily for expansion of alcohol distillery operations and expansion of cane growing operations. All other capital expenditures were primarily of a normal recurring nature and primarily included replacement of machinery and equipment, and general facility modernizations and upgrades.


In April 2008, the Pork segment entered into an agreement to build and operate a majority-owned ham-boning and processing plant in Mexico. This plant is expected to be completed in the first half of 2009 at a total cost of $10.0 million with approximately $1.8 million remaining to be spent in 2009. During the second quarter of 2008, Seaboard decided to indefinitely delay previously announced plans to expand its processed meats capabilities by either constructing a separate further processing plant, primarily for bacon, or acquiring an existing facility. In addition, during the first quarter of 2008 Seaboard decided not to proceed with any investment in the previously announced consortium to construct two coal-fired 305 megawatt electric generating plants in the Dominican Republic.

The total 2009 capital expenditures budget is $111.0 million. In addition to the project discussed above, the Pork segment plans to spend $18.4 million primarily for improvements to existing hog facilities, upgrades to the Guymon pork processing plant and additional facility upgrades and related equipment. The Marine segment has budgeted $58.0 million primarily for additional cargo carrying and handling equipment and port development projects. In addition, management will be evaluating whether to purchase additional containerized cargo vessels for the Marine segment during 2009. The Sugar and Citrus segment plans to spend $24.5 million, including $15.0 million for the development of a 40 megawatt cogeneration power plant, with the remaining amount primarily for the expansion of cane growing operations and harvesting equipment. The cogeneration power plant is expected to be operational by the second quarter of 2010 with an additional $6.0 million spent during 2010. The balance of $8.3 million is planned to be spent in all other businesses. Management anticipates paying for these capital expenditures from available cash, the use of available short-term investments or Seaboard's available borrowing capacity. As of December 31, 2008 Seaboard had commitments of $32.6 million to spend on construction projects, purchase equipment, and make facility improvements.

During 2007 Seaboard invested $164.2 million in property, plant and equipment, of which $78.1 million was expended in the Pork segment, $3.0 million in the Commodity Trading and Milling segment, $61.0 million in the Marine segment, $21.4 million in the Sugar and Citrus segment and $0.7 million in the remaining businesses. For the Pork segment, $31.7 million was spent on the construction of a biodiesel plant discussed below and $22.9 million was spent constructing additional hog finishing space also discussed below. For the Marine segment, $21.8 million was spent to purchase two containerized cargo vessels and $21.4 million was spent to purchase cargo carrying and handling equipment. In the Sugar and Citrus segment, the capital expenditures were primarily used for expansion of cane growing operations, various improvements to the sugar mill and expansion of alcohol distillery operations. All other capital expenditures were primarily of a normal recurring nature and primarily included replacements of machinery and equipment, and general facility modernizations and upgrades.

During 2006 Seaboard invested $85.9 million in property, plant and equipment, of which $30.3 million was expended in the Pork segment, $4.0 million in the Commodity Trading and Milling segment, $30.4 million in the Marine segment, $18.4 million in the Sugar and Citrus segment and $2.8 million in the remaining businesses. For the Pork segment, $12.9 million was spent on the construction of a biodiesel plant as discussed above, improvements to the Guymon processing plant and expanding the further processing capacity acquired from Daily's. For the Marine segment, $23.1 million was spent to purchase cargo carrying and hauling equipment, expansion of port facilities and to purchase two containerized cargo vessels previously chartered. In the Sugar and Citrus segment, the capital expenditures were primarily used for the purchase of land, expansion of the alcohol distillery operations, improvements to the mill, plantation and harvesting equipment. All other capital expenditures were of a normal recurring nature and primarily included replacement of machinery and equipment, and general facility modernizations and upgrades.

On March 2, 2009, an agreement became effective whereby Seaboard will sell its two power barges in the Dominican Republic on or around January 1, 2011 for $70.0 million. Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, which are expected to be met during March 2009, $15.0 million will be paid to Seaboard and the $55.0 million balance of the purchase price will be paid into escrow and paid to Seaboard at the closing of the sale. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

In late September 2007, Seaboard acquired for $8.5 million a 40% non-controlling interest, including cash contributed into the business, in a flour milling business located in Colombia. During the fourth quarter of 2007, Seaboard acquired for $6.6 million a 50% non-controlling interest in a grain trading business in Peru. Both investments are accounted for using the equity method.


In January 2007, Seaboard repurchased the 4.74% equity interest in its subsidiary, Seaboard Foods LLC, from the former owners of Daily's. As part of the Purchase Agreement, on January 2, 2007 Seaboard paid $30.0 million of the purchase price for the 4.74% equity interest to the former owners of Daily's. During the third quarter of 2007, Seaboard paid approximately $31.2 million to the former owners of Daily's as the final payment to repurchase their minority interest in Seaboard Foods, LLC. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

During the fourth quarter of 2006 Seaboard invested $4.6 million, plus $0.7 million previously placed in escrow in 2004 for a total of $5.3 million, for a less than 20% ownership interest in a company operating a 300 megawatt electricity generating facility in the Dominican Republic.

Financing Activities, Debt and Related Covenants

On July 10, 2008, Seaboard entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that increased its committed line of credit from $100.0 million to $300.0 million. This credit facility has a term of five years, maturing July 10, 2013.

The following table represents a summary of Seaboard's available borrowing capacity as of December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2008, borrowings outstanding under the committed lines of credit totaled $115.0 million and borrowings under the uncommitted lines of credit totaled $5.6 million, all related to foreign subsidiaries. Letters of credit reduced Seaboard's borrowing capacity under its committed and uncommitted credit lines by $58.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, primarily representing $42.7 million for Seaboard's outstanding Industrial Development Revenue Bonds and $15.2 million related to insurance coverage.

Available borrowing capacity at December 31, 2008         $254,427

Seaboard has capacity under existing covenants to undertake additional debt financings of approximately $836.5 million. As of December 31, 2008, Seaboard is in compliance with all restrictive covenants relating to these arrangements. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the material terms of Seaboard's credit facilities, including financial ratios and covenants.

Scheduled long-term debt maturities range from $1.5 million to $47.1 million per year, for a total of $50.6 million over the next three years. Although the current global liquidity crisis and worldwide economic downturn could affect our ability to fund operations, management believes Seaboard's combination of internally generated cash, liquidity, capital resources and borrowing capabilities will be adequate for its existing operations and any known potential plans for expansion of existing operations or business segments for 2009. Seaboard recently secured a $300.0 million line of credit for five years and has cash and short-term investments of $373.3 million with total net working capital of $779.8 million as of December 31, 2008. In management's view, the primary liquidity issues for 2009 pertain to its customers' and suppliers' liquidity, financing capabilities and overall financial health, which could affect Seaboard's sales volumes or customer contract performance, procurement of or access to needed inventory, supplies and equipment, and the timely collection of receivables along with related potential deterioration in the receivables aging. Management does, however, periodically review various alternatives for future financing to provide additional liquidity for future operating plans. Regardless of the current global business climate, management intends to continue seeking opportunities for expansion in the industries in which Seaboard operates, utilizing existing liquidity and available borrowing capacity, and currently does not plan to pursue other financing alternatives.

On August 7, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized Seaboard to repurchase from time to time prior to August 31, 2009 up to $50.0 million market value of its Common Stock in open market or privately negotiated purchases, of


which $14.5 million remained available at December 31, 2008. Under this repurchase plan, Seaboard used cash to repurchase 3,852 shares of common stock at a total price of $5.0 million in 2008 and 17,089 shares of common stock at a total price of $30.5 million in 2007. The stock repurchase will be funded by cash on hand or available short-term borrowing capacity. Shares repurchased are retired and resume status of authorized and unissued shares. The Board's stock repurchase authorization does not obligate Seaboard to acquire a specific amount of common stock and the stock repurchase program may be modified or suspended at any time at Seaboard's discretion.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

The following table provides a summary of Seaboard's contractual cash obligations as of December 31, 2008.

The Marine segment enters into contracts to time-charter vessels for use in its operations. To support the operations of the Pork segment, Seaboard has contract grower finishing agreements in place with farmers to raise a portion of Seaboard's hogs according to specifications. Seaboard has entered into grain and feed ingredient purchase contracts to support the live hog operations of the Pork segment and has contracted for the purchase of additional hogs from third parties. The Commodity Trading and Milling segment enters into commodity purchase contracts and ocean freight contracts, primarily to support sales commitments. Seaboard also leases various facilities and equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements. On May 30, 2008, Seaboard Marine Ltd. ("Seaboard Marine"), entered into an Amended and Restated Terminal Agreement with Miami-Dade County ("County") for Marine Terminal Operations ("Amended Terminal Agreement"), pursuant to which Seaboard Marine renewed its existing Terminal Agreement with the County at the Port of Miami. The Amended Terminal Agreement enables Seaboard Marine to continue its existing operations at the Port of Miami. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion and for a more detailed listing of other purchase commitments.

Seaboard has also issued $2.0 million of guarantees to support certain activities of non-consolidated affiliates and third parties who provide services for Seaboard. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased to $4,267.8 million from $3,213.3 million in 2007 and $2,707.4 million for 2006. The increase in net sales in 2008 was primarily the result of significant price increases for commodities sold by the commodity trading business and, to a lesser extent, increased commodity trading volumes. Also increasing sales were higher cargo rates and, to a lesser extent, higher cargo volumes for the Marine division. The increase in net sales in 2007 was primarily the result of higher prices for commodities sold by the commodity trading business and, to a lesser extent, increased commodity trading volumes and higher volumes for marine cargo services.

Operating income decreased to $121.8 million in 2008, from $169.9 million in 2007 and $297.0 million in 2006. The 2008 decrease compared to 2007 primarily reflected the higher feed costs for hogs as a result of higher corn prices and, to a lesser extent, higher soybean meal prices. Also decreasing operating income were lower margins on marine cargo services as a result of higher fuel prices and other related operating costs. The decreases were partially offset by the result of higher commodity trading margins that are not expected to repeat and the effect of the mark-to-market of derivatives in the Commodity Trading and Milling segment along with the higher cargo rates for the Marine division. The 2007 decrease compared to 2006 primarily reflected the higher feed costs for hogs, including the effect on LIFO reserves, primarily from the increased price of corn and, to a lesser degree, the effect of the mark-to-market of derivatives in the Commodity Trading and Milling segment, and the pension settlement loss in the first quarter of 2007 as discussed in Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net sales                       $ 1,126.0  $ 1,003.8   $ 1,002.7
Operating income (loss)         $   (45.9) $    39.5   $   138.3

Net sales of the Pork segment increased $122.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2007. The increase was primarily the result of higher pork sales volumes, which reflected increases in both domestic and export sales. The increased volumes were made possible by the expansion in daily capacity at the Guymon processing plant during the first quarter of 2008. Sales of biodiesel related to the start-up of the new biodiesel processing plant during the second quarter of 2008 also contributed to the increase in net sales. To a lesser extent, the results of the Pork segment were affected by higher pork product prices.

Operating income decreased $85.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared with 2007. The decrease was primarily a result of higher feed costs from higher corn prices and to a lesser extent, soybean meal prices. To a lesser extent, operating losses related to the start-up of the biodiesel plant affected operating income. In addition, as further discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, during the fourth quarter of 2008 Seaboard incurred an impairment charge of $7.0 million related to Daily's trade name. Partially offsetting these decreases was the increase in sales prices for pork products noted above.

Management is unable to predict future market prices for pork products or the cost of feed and hogs purchased from third parties. Raw material costs in feed rations were extremely volatile during 2008 but have shown signs of stability recently, although at levels notably higher than historical averages. Absent another year of extreme market volatility during 2009, management anticipates this segment's results to improve to profitable levels after the first quarter of 2009. In addition, as discussed in Note 2 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, there is a possibility that some amount of either goodwill or other intangible assets not subject to amortization, or both, related to Daily's and some amount of the biodiesel plant could be deemed impaired during some future period including fiscal 2009, which may result in a charge to earnings if current projections are not met.

Net sales of the Pork segment increased $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 2006. The increase was primarily the net result of higher overall prices for pork products sold and higher marketing fee income principally offset by lower overall sales volume of pork products. While the number of hogs processed actually increased slightly, overall pork product sales were down slightly, primarily as a result of lower weights of internal hogs processed. Overall, export sales volumes increased significantly more than export sale prices decreased for an overall increase in export sales while domestic sale volumes decreased significantly more than domestic sale prices


increased for an overall decrease in domestic sales. Marketing fee income increased as a result of an increase in the number of head processed by Triumph Foods.

Operating income decreased $98.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with 2006. The decrease was primarily a result of higher feed costs, primarily from the increased price of corn, and to a lesser extent, soybean meal, especially during the fourth quarter of 2007. Also decreasing operating income was the impact of using the LIFO method for determining certain inventory costs which decreased operating income by $25.0 million in 2007 compared to an increase of $0.9 million in 2006, primarily as a result of higher feed costs. These higher costs were partially offset by increased marketing fee income. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Pork segment incurred an operating loss of $5.6 million primarily from the negative LIFO impact of $9.8 million.

Commodity Trading and Milling Segment

(Dollars in millions)                2008       2007      2006

Net sales                         $ 1,897.4  $ 1,152.0  $  735.6
Operating income                  $    96.5  $    20.9  $   37.2
Income from foreign affiliates    $    12.6  $     5.2  $    6.3

Net sales of the Commodity Trading and Milling segment increased $745.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2007. The increase was primarily the result of significantly higher prices of commodities sold by the commodity trading business, especially wheat, and, to a lesser extent, increased commodity trading volumes. The increased trading volumes were primarily a result of Seaboard expanding its business in new and existing markets, including trading rice. As worldwide commodity price fluctuations cannot be predicted, management is unable to predict the level of future sales.

Operating income increased $75.6 million for 2008 compared to 2007. The increase primarily reflected increased commodity trading margins and, to a lesser extent, the increased commodity trading volumes discussed above. The increase in commodity trading margins primarily reflected certain long inventory positions, principally wheat, previously taken by Seaboard, which provided higher than average commodity trading margins during the first half of 2008, as the price of these commodities significantly increased to historic highs at the time of sale. However, management does not expect to be able to continue these significant favorable margins in 2009. The increase also reflected the $31.3 million fluctuation of marking to market the derivative contracts as discussed below.

Due to the uncertain political and economic conditions in the countries in which Seaboard operates and the current volatility in the commodity markets management is unable to predict future sales and operating results. However, management anticipates positive operating income for 2009 although materially lower than 2008, excluding the potential effects of marking to market derivative contracts. It should be noted the unprecedented high level of grain prices during the first half of 2008 and the significant decrease in grain prices during the second half of 2008 increase certain business risks for each of the commodity trading, consolidated milling and foreign affiliate operations in this segment. Those risks, including holding high priced inventory or the potential for reduced sales volumes, can increase if governments impose sales price controls, grain prices remain volatile and/or competitors hold lower priced positions, or customers default, which could result in write-downs of inventory values and an increase in bad debt expense. In addition, see Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidation Financial Statement for discussion regarding certain grain inventories and related write-downs for 2008. If any one or more of these conditions develop, the result could materially lower operating income and could result in operating losses for any one or all of the commodity trading, consolidated milling and/or foreign affiliate operations.

If Seaboard had not applied mark-to-market accounting to its derivative instruments, operating income for 2008 and 2006 would have been lower by $18.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and operating income for 2007 would have been higher by $13.2 million. While management believes its commodity futures and options, foreign exchange contracts and forward freight agreements are primarily economic hedges of its firm purchase and sales contracts or anticipated sales contracts, Seaboard does not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for these types of transactions as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, while the changes in value of the derivative instruments were marked to market, the changes in value of the firm purchase or sales contracts were not marked to market. As products are delivered to customers, these mark-to-market adjustments should be primarily offset by realized margins as revenue is recognized. Accordingly, these mark-to-market gains could reverse in fiscal 2009.


Income from foreign affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased $7.4 million from 2007 as a result of favorable market conditions. Based on the uncertainty of local political and economic situations in the countries in which the flour and feed mills operate, management cannot predict future results although management anticipates that 2009 income from foreign affiliates will be lower than 2008.

Net sales of the Commodity Trading and Milling segment increased $416.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 2006. The increase primarily reflected increased prices for commodities sold, especially for wheat, and, to a lesser extent, increased commodity trading volumes with third parties. The increased trading volumes to third parties were primarily a result of Seaboard expanding its business in new and existing markets.

Operating income decreased $16.3 million for 2007 compared to 2006. This decrease primarily reflected the fluctuation of $19.3 million in 2007 compared to 2006 of marking to market derivative contracts, as discussed below. The decrease was also the result of lower margins from certain milling operations, especially in Zambia. The lower margins at certain milling locations were the result of less favorable market conditions, primarily from competitive pressures and higher wheat costs. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased margins on sales per metric ton to certain foreign non-consolidated affiliates and also increased trading volumes to third parties as discussed above.

Income from foreign affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased $1.1 million from 2006 as a result of less favorable market conditions primarily from competitive pressures and higher wheat costs.

Marine Segment

(Dollars in millions)           2008       2007         2006

Net sales                     $  958.0   $  822.2     $  741.6
Operating income              $   62.4   $  104.2     $  106.0

Net sales of the Marine segment increased $135.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 2007 primarily as a result of higher cargo rates and, to a lesser extent, higher cargo volumes. Cargo rates were higher in certain markets primarily as a result of higher cost-recovery surcharges for fuel. Cargo volumes were higher as a result of the expansion of services provided in certain markets and favorable economic conditions during 2008 in several Latin American markets served.

Operating income decreased by $41.8 million compared to 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of significantly higher fuel costs for vessels on a per unit shipped basis. Operating income also decreased as a result of higher operating costs on a per unit shipped basis including charter hire and owned-vessel operating costs, trucking, terminal costs and stevedoring. In addition, the decrease reflected an accounting error totaling $6.3 million relating to prior periods that was recorded in the second quarter of 2008, as discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management cannot predict changes in future cargo volumes and cargo rates or to what extent changes in economic conditions in markets served will affect net sales or operating income during 2009. However, given the recent decline in global trade, management anticipates a material decrease in operating income during 2009 compared to 2008 despite expected lower charter hire and fuel expenses.

Net sales of the Marine segment increased $80.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to 2006 primarily as a result of higher cargo volumes. Cargo volumes were higher as a result of continued favorable economic conditions in most markets served and the expansion of services provided in certain markets. Cargo rates remained relatively flat as a result of increased competition. Operating income decreased by $1.8 million over 2006. The decrease was primarily the result of higher dry dock expenses and increased fuel costs for vessels on a per unit shipped basis more than offsetting the increase in higher cargo volumes discussed above.


Sugar and Citrus Segment

(Dollars in millions)                    2008     2007     2006

Net sales                              $ 142.1  $ 125.9  $ 123.4
Operating income                       $   3.7  $  15.5  $  19.2
Income (loss) from foreign affiliates  $   0.5  $   0.4  $  (1.1)

Net sales of the Sugar and Citrus segment increased $16.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2007. The increase primarily reflected higher domestic sugar prices. Although domestic Argentine prices increased, governmental authorities continue to attempt to control inflation by limiting the price of basic commodities, including sugar. Accordingly, management cannot predict whether sugar prices will continue to increase for 2009. Seaboard expects to at least maintain its historical sales volume to Argentinean customers.

Operating income decreased $11.8 million during 2008 compared to 2007 primarily as a result of losses incurred by the citrus and juice businesses, principally from citrus quality issues and increased production costs for the juice business. In addition, operating income decreased as a result of higher selling and administrative personnel costs. Total gross margin from sugar sales did not increase in 2008 compared to 2007 as the higher sugar prices discussed above were primarily offset by a higher percentage of sales from sugar purchased from third parties for resale. This sugar had a significantly lower margin compared to sugar produced by Seaboard. Increased production costs also affected gross margin from sugar sales. Management expects higher operating income in this segment for 2009 compared to 2008. In addition, management is reviewing its strategic options for the citrus business in light of what may be a continually difficult operating environment.

Net sales of the Sugar and Citrus segment increased $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 2006. The increase primarily reflected higher citrus sales partially offset by lower sugar sales. Citrus sales increased primarily as a result of higher sales volume from larger purchases of citrus from third parties for resale during the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to 2006. Sugar sales decreased primarily as a result of lower sales volume partially offset by higher domestic sugar prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily from lower export sales as the result of lower sales of purchased sugar from third parties for resale. Operating income decreased $3.7 million during 2007 compared to 2006 primarily as a result of higher overall sugar production costs in excess of domestic price increases, as discussed above, and also an increase in administrative expenses, primarily from higher personnel costs.

The loss from foreign affiliates in 2006 primarily represented the expense of canceling a franchisee agreement incurred during the first quarter of 2006.

All Other Segments

(Dollars in millions)                 2008      2007     2006

Net sales                           $ 144.3   $ 109.4  $ 104.2
Operating income                    $   8.9   $   6.0  $  10.0
Loss  from  foreign affiliate       $     -   $  (1.7) $  (1.2)

Net sales and operating income for all other segments primarily represented results from the Dominican Republic Power division. Net sales increased $34.9 million for 2008 compared to 2007 primarily as a result of higher rates. The higher rates were attributable primarily to higher fuel costs, a component of pricing. Operating income increased $2.9 million during 2008 compared to 2007 primarily as a result of higher rates being in excess of higher fuel costs. Management cannot predict future fuel costs or the extent to which rates will fluctuate compared to fuel costs, although management anticipates this division to remain profitable in 2009. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the potential future sale of certain assets of this business.

Net sales increased $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily as a result of higher rates. The higher rates were attributable primarily to higher fuel costs, a component of pricing. Operating income decreased $4.0 million during 2007 compared to 2006. The decrease was primarily the result of fuel cost increases being higher than the increase in rates discussed above. The decrease was also the result of, but to a lesser extent, lower recovery of bad debts during 2007 than 2006 which resulted in a reversal of bad debt expense for each year.


The loss from foreign affiliate in 2007 and 2006 reflected Seaboard's share of losses from its equity method investment in a Bulgarian wine business (the Business). In 2007 and 2006, Seaboard recorded 50% of the losses from the Business. No additional losses were incurred in 2008 or will be incurred in future years as Seaboard has discontinued using the equity method of accounting for this investment and there was no remaining book value as of December 31, 2007. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased by $3.8 million over 2007 to $175.9 million. This increase was primarily due to increased personnel costs. Partially offsetting the increase were decreased costs related to Seaboard's deferred compensation programs (which are offset by the effect of the mark-to-market investments recorded in other investment income discussed below). Also, partially offsetting the increase was a $3.7 million pension settlement loss recognized in the first quarter of 2007 related to the late Mr. H. H. Bresky's retirement payment in February 2007 as discussed in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A decreased to 4.1% for 2008 compared to 5.4% for 2007 primarily as a result of increased sales in the Commodity Trading and Milling segment.

SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by $14.8 million from 2006 to $172.1 million. This increase was primarily due to increased personnel costs principally related to the growth of the business and, to a lesser extent, the result of the $3.7 million pension settlement loss recognized in the first quarter of 2007 related to Mr. H. H. Bresky's retirement payment in February 2007 as discussed in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A decreased to 5.4% for 2007 compared to 5.8% for 2006 primarily as a result of increased sales in the Commodity Trading and Milling and Marine segments.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $15.4 million, $12.6 million and $18.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest expense increased for 2008 compared to 2007, primarily as a result of a higher average level of short- term borrowings outstanding during 2008 partially offset by a lower average level of long-term borrowings outstanding. Interest expense decreased for 2007 compared to 2006, reflecting a lower average level of long-term borrowings outstanding during 2007 and lower average interest rates on short-term borrowings.

Interest Income

Interest income totaled $14.9 million, $18.9 million and $25.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease for 2008 primarily reflected a decrease in average funds invested. The decrease for 2007 primarily reflected a decrease in interest received on outstanding customer receivable balances in the Power division, partially offset by an increase in average funds invested and higher interest rates on funds invested.

Minority and Other Noncontrolling Interests

Minority and other noncontrolling interests expense decreased $6.9 million in 2007 compared to 2006, primarily a result of no longer having the minority interest associated with the Daily's acquisition due to the equity interest being repurchased by Seaboard effective January 1, 2007 as discussed in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Currency Gains (Losses)

Foreign currency gains (losses) totaled $(19.7) million, $0.1 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The fluctuation for 2008 compared to 2007 primarily related to currency translation and realized losses in the commodity trading business related to transactions denominated in South African rand and, to a lesser extent, the Euro Zone euro principally during the fourth quarter of 2008. Although Seaboard does not utilize hedge accounting, the commodity trading business does utilize foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its risks and exposure to foreign currency fluctuations caused by the South African rand and the Euro Zone euro. Management believes the gains and losses, including the mark-to-market effects, of these foreign currency contracts relate to the underlying commodity transactions and classifies such gains and losses in cost of sales. In addition, the 2008 loss includes currency losses related to the yen based borrowing by the Sugar & Citrus segment, principally during the fourth quarter of 2008. A significant portion of this currency loss was offset by a currency gain on the underlying debt, which was recorded in a cumulative translation adjustment account in equity as of December 31, 2008. Seaboard operates in many developing countries. The political and economic conditions of


these markets, along with fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar, cause volatility in currency exchange rates which exposes Seaboard to fluctuating foreign currency gains and losses which cannot be predicted by Seaboard.

Other Investment Income, Net

Other investment income, net totaled $7.5 million, $6.1 million and $4.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Other investment income for 2008 primarily reflected $8.9 million on equity securities transactions, income of $7.6 million in the Power division related to the settlement of a receivable, not directly related to its business and purchased at a discount, and income of $1.1 million related to the assignment of rights related to an investment as discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Partially offsetting the above income items was a $9.6 million loss in the mark-to-market value of Seaboard's investments related to the deferred compensation programs in 2008. The increase for 2007 compared to 2006 primarily reflected a $3.6 million gain recognized by the Power division for the settlement of a receivable, not related to its business, purchased at a discount.

Miscellaneous, Net

Miscellaneous, net totaled $2.5 million, $5.2 million and $10.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the second quarter of 2007, Seaboard recognized a gain of $4.1 million from a favorable settlement received in June 2007 related to a land expropriation in Argentina. This land settlement was recorded as miscellaneous income since the land was expropriated prior to Seaboard's purchase of the sugar and citrus business, thus never a part of the sugar and citrus operations recorded by Seaboard. For 2006, miscellaneous, net included the impact of Seaboard terminating all interest rate exchange agreements resulting in a gain of $3.4 million related to these swaps. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion. Also included in 2006 was income of $5.4 million of put option value change as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate decreased for 2008 compared to 2007 primarily from lower domestic taxable income resulting in a tax benefit based on domestic taxable loss compared to permanently deferred foreign earnings. The effective tax rate decreased for 2007 compared to 2006 primarily from lower domestic taxable income resulting in a higher percentage of permanently deferred foreign earnings compared to domestic taxable income and, to a lesser extent, a change in valuation allowances resulting in a net benefit in 2007. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of these items.

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Seaboard is subject to various federal and state regulations regarding environmental protection and land and water use. Among other things, these regulations affect the disposal of livestock waste and corporate farming matters in general. Management believes it is in compliance, in all material respects, with all such regulations. Laws and regulations in the states where Seaboard conducts its pork operations are restrictive. Future changes in environmental or corporate farming laws could adversely affect the manner in which Seaboard operates its business and its cost structure.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 141(R), "Business Combinations" (FAS 141R). This statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. This statement also requires that acquisition- related costs of the acquirer be recognized separately from the business combination and will generally be expensed as incurred. Seaboard will be required to adopt this statement as of January 1, 2009. The impact of adopting FAS 141R will be limited to any future business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51" (FAS 160). This statement will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. Seaboard will be required to adopt this statement as of January 1, 2009. Management believes the adoption of FAS 160 will not have a material impact on Seaboard's financial position or net earnings.


In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2 which amended FAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (FAS 157). This FSP defers the effective date of FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity's financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Seaboard will be required to adopt FAS 157 for these nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as of January 1, 2009, which primarily pertains to impairment charges related to goodwill, other intangible assets not subject to amortization and property, plant and equipment. Management believes the adoption of FAS 157 deferral provisions will not have a material impact on Seaboard's financial position or net earnings.

Management does not believe its businesses have been materially adversely affected by general inflation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has identified the accounting estimates believed to be the most important to the portrayal of Seaboard's financial condition and results, and which require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. These critical accounting policies include:

Allowance for doubtful accounts - Seaboard primarily uses a specific identification approach, in management's best judgment, to evaluate the adequacy of this reserve for estimated uncollectible receivables as of the consolidated balance sheet date. Changes in estimates, developing trends and other new information can have a material effect on future evaluations. Furthermore, Seaboard's total current and long-term receivables are heavily weighted toward foreign receivables ($268.7 million or 69.1% at December 31, 2008), including receivables due from foreign affiliates ($100.4 million at December 31, 2008) and receivables in the Power division, which generally represent more of a collection risk than its domestic receivables. Receivables due from foreign affiliates are generally associated with entities located in foreign countries considered underdeveloped, as discussed below, which can experience conditions causing sudden changes to their ability to repay such receivables on a timely basis or in full. For the Power division which operates in the Dominican Republic (DR), collection patterns have been sporadic and are sometimes based upon negotiated settlements for past due receivables resulting in material revisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts from year to year. For example, currently the Power division sells approximately 40% of its power generation to a government-owned distribution company under a short-term contract for which Seaboard bears a concentrated credit risk as this customer is usually behind in its payments on account. As of December 31, 2008, this customer account had billings outstanding of $27.3 million, including $20.0 million classified as long-term. Future collections of receivables or lack thereof could result in a material charge or credit to earnings depending on the ultimate resolution of each individual customer past due receivable. Bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $0.8 million, $1.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Valuation of Inventories - Inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost or market. In determining market, management makes assumptions regarding replacement costs, estimated sales prices, estimated costs to complete, estimated disposal costs, and normal profit margins. For commodity trading inventories, when contract performance by a customer becomes a concern, management must also evaluate available options to dispose of the inventory, including assumptions about potential negotiated changes to sales contracts, sale prices in alternative markets in various foreign countries and potentially additional transportation costs. At times, management must consider probability weighting various viable alternatives in its determination of the net realizable value of the inventories. These assumptions and probabilities are subjective in nature and are based on management's best estimates and judgments existing at the time of preparation. Changes in future market prices of grains or facts and circumstances could result in a material write-down in value of inventory or increased future margins on the sale of inventory. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of inventories with a value of approximately $27.9 million that are committed to various customers in foreign countries for which customer contract performance is a heightened concern as of December 31, 2008.


Impairment of Long-lived Assets - At each balance sheet date, long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Some of the key assumptions utilized in determining future projected cash flows include estimated growth rates, expected future sales prices and estimated costs. In some cases, judgment is also required in assigning probability weighting to the various future cash flow scenarios. The probability weighting percentages used and the various future projected cash flow models prepared by management are based on facts and circumstances existing at the time of preparation and management's best estimates and judgment of future operating results. Seaboard cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of long-lived assets, which include but are not limited to, a change in the business climate, government incentives, a negative change in relationships with significant customers, and changes to strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions. Changes in these facts, circumstances and management's estimates and judgment could result in an impairment of fixed assets resulting in a material charge to earnings. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the Pork Segment and its recorded value for the biodiesel processing plant of $45.3 million.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - Goodwill and other indefinite-life intangible assets, not subject to amortization, are evaluated annually for impairment at the quarter-end closest to the anniversary date of the acquisition, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment is likely. The impairment tests require management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in estimating fair value. One of the methods used by Seaboard to determine fair value is the income approach using discounted future projected cash flows. Some of the key assumptions utilized in determining future projected cash flows include estimated growth rates, expected future sales prices and costs, and future capital expenditures requirements. In some cases, judgment is also required in assigning probability weighting to the various future cash flow scenarios. The probability weighting percentages used and the various future projected cash flow models prepared by management are based on facts and circumstances existing at the time of preparation and management's best estimates and judgment of future operating results. Seaboard cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets that may include, but are not limited to, a change in the business climate, a negative change in relationships with significant customers, and changes to strategic decisions, including decisions to expand, made in response to economic and competitive conditions. Changes in these facts, circumstances and management's estimates and judgment could result in an impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets resulting in a material charge to earnings. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the Pork segment and its recorded intangible asset values related to Daily's, including an impairment charge of $7.0 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to Daily's trade name. At December 31, 2008, Seaboard had goodwill of $40.6 million and other intangible assets not subject to amortization of $17.0 million.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are determined by management based on current tax regulations in the various worldwide taxing jurisdictions in which Seaboard conducts its business. In various situations, accruals have been made for estimates of the tax effects for certain transactions, business structures, the estimated reversal of timing differences and future projected profitability of Seaboard's various business units based on management's interpretation of existing facts, circumstances and tax regulations. Should new evidence come to management's attention which could alter previous conclusions or if taxing authorities disagree with the positions taken by Seaboard, the change in estimate could result in a material adverse or favorable impact on the financial statements. As of December 31, 2008, Seaboard has deferred tax assets of $61.8 million, net of the valuation allowance of $21.1 million, and deferred tax liabilities of $128.8 million. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, income tax expense included $(6.3) million, $(22.5) million and $6.5 million, respectively, for deferred taxes to federal, foreign, state and local taxing jurisdictions.


Accrued Pension Liability - The measurement of Seaboard's pension liability and related expense is dependent on a variety of assumptions and estimates regarding future events. These assumptions include discount rates, assumed rate of return on plan assets, compensation increases, turnover rates, mortality rates and retirement rates. The discount rate and return on plan assets are important elements of liability and expense measurement and are reviewed on an annual basis. The effect of changing the discount rate and assumed rate of return on plan assets by 50 basis points would increase pension expense by approximately $1.3 million per year. The effects of actual results differing from the assumptions (i.e. gains or losses) are primarily accumulated in accrued pension liability and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect Seaboard's recognized pension expense in such future periods unless the actual results fall within the 10% corridor as permitted under FAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions". Accordingly, accumulated gains or losses in excess of 10% of the greater of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation are amortized over the average future service of active participants. The unrecognized losses as of December 31, 2008 exceeded this 10% threshold as a result of the significant investment losses incurred during 2008. As a result, Seaboard's pension expense for its defined benefit pension plan for its salaried and clerical employees will increase by approximately $3.0 million for 2009 as compared to 2008 due to loss amortization. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of management's assumptions and projected 2009 expense.

DERIVATIVE INFORMATION

Seaboard is exposed to various types of market risks in its day- to-day operations. Primary market risk exposures result from changing commodity prices, freight rates, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Although used to manage overall market risks, Seaboard does not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for derivative transactions as hedges. Management believes it uses derivatives primarily as economic hedges although they do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. Since these derivatives are not accounted for as hedges, fluctuations in the related prices could have a material impact on earnings in any given year. From time to time, Seaboard may enter into speculative derivative transactions related to its market risks.

Changes in commodity prices affect the cost of necessary raw materials and other inventories, finished product sales and firm sales commitments. Seaboard uses various grain and oilseed futures and options purchase contracts to manage certain risks of increasing prices of raw materials and firm sales commitments or anticipated sales contracts. Short sales contracts are then used to offset the open purchase derivatives when the related commodity inventory is purchased in advance of the derivative maturity, effectively offsetting the initial futures or option purchase contract. From time to time, hog futures are used to manage risks of increasing prices of live hogs acquired for processing, and pork bellies and hog futures are used to manage risks of fluctuating prices of pork product inventories and related future sales. From time to time, Seaboard may enter into short positions in energy related resources (i.e. heating oil, crude oil, etc.) to manage certain exposures related to bioenergy margins. Inventories that are sensitive to changes in commodity prices, including carrying amounts at December 31, 2008 and 2007, are presented in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Raw material requirements, finished product sales, and firm sales commitments are also sensitive to changes in commodity prices.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Commodity Trading and Milling segment for the first time entered into certain forward freight agreements, viewed as taking long positions in the freight market as well as covering short freight sales, which may or may not result in actual losses when future trades are executed. These forward freight agreements are viewed by management as an economic hedge against the potential of future rising charter hire rates to be incurred by this segment for bulk cargo shipping while conducting its business of delivering grains to customers in many international locations.


Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect the cash paid or received on foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, Seaboard manages certain of these risks through the use of foreign currency forward exchange agreements. Changes in interest rates affect the cash required to service variable rate debt. From time to time, Seaboard uses interest rate swaps to manage risks of increasing interest rates.

In December 2008, Seaboard entered into a ten-year interest rate exchange agreement which involves the exchange of fixed-rate and variable-rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates on variable rate debt. Seaboard pays a fixed rate and receives a variable rate of interest on a notional amount of $25.0 million.

As previously disclosed, during July 2008 the Pork segment significantly increased the number of hog, grain and oilseed futures contracts entered into based on market conditions that existed at that point. During the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2008, as a result of changes in market conditions since July, these additional positions were closed leaving remaining open positions more closely approximating historical levels.

While Seaboard previously presented the market value of derivative instruments in a table, Seaboard began using sensitivity analysis in the second quarter of 2008 to evaluate the effect that changes in the market value will have on these derivative instruments. Seaboard feels that sensitivity analysis more appropriately reflects the potential market value exposure associated with the use of derivative instruments. The following table presents the sensitivity of the fair value of Seaboard's open net commodity future and option contracts, forward freight agreements, foreign currency contracts and interest rate exchange agreements for all divisions to a hypothetical 10% adverse change in market prices or in foreign exchange rates and interest rates as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. For all open derivatives, the fair value of such positions is a summation of the fair values calculated for each item by valuing each net position at quoted market prices as of the applicable date.

Forward freight agreements shown above in the sensitivity analysis for 2008 has no net exposure to a change in market price as the two open forward freight agreements offset each other at December 31, 2008.

The table below provides information about Seaboard's non-trading financial instruments sensitive to changes in interest rates at December 31, 2008. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. At December 31, 2008, long-term debt included foreign subsidiary obligations of $1.1 million denominated in CFA francs (a currency used in several central African countries), $0.3 million payable in Argentine pesos, and $0.1 million denominated in Mozambique metical. At December 31, 2007, long-term debt included foreign subsidiary obligations of $1.7 million denominated in CFA francs, $0.3 million payable in Argentine pesos, and $0.1 million denominated in Mozambique metical. Weighted average variable rates are based on rates in place at the reporting date. Short-term instruments including short-term investments, non-trade receivables and current notes payable have carrying values that approximate market and are not included in this table due to their short-term nature.

Management's Responsibility for Consolidated Financial Statements

The management of Seaboard Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (Seaboard) is responsible for the preparation of its consolidated financial statements and related information appearing in this report. Management believes that the consolidated financial statements fairly present Seaboard's financial position and results of operations in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily includes amounts that are based on estimates and judgments which it believes are reasonable based on current circumstances with due consideration given to materiality.

Management relies on a system of internal controls over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, transactions are executed in accordance with company policy and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and are properly recorded, and accounting records are adequate for preparation of financial statements and other information and disclosures. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on recognition that the cost of a control system should not exceed the benefits expected to be derived and such evaluations require estimates and judgments. The design and effectiveness of the system are monitored by a professional staff of internal auditors.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

The Board of Directors pursues its review of auditing, internal controls and financial statements through its audit committee, composed entirely of independent directors. In the exercise of its responsibilities, the audit committee meets periodically with management, with the internal auditors and with the independent registered public accounting firm to review the scope and results of audits. Both the internal auditors and the registered public accounting firm have unrestricted access to the audit committee with or without the presence of management.

The consolidated financial statements have been audited by the independent registered public accounting firm of KPMG LLP. Their responsibility is to examine records and transactions related to the consolidated financial statements to the extent required by the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. KPMG has rendered their opinion that the consolidated financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Their report is included herein.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of Seaboard Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (Seaboard) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of management and its Internal Audit Department, Seaboard conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, management concluded that Seaboard's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

Seaboard's registered independent public accounting firm, that audited the consolidated financial statements included in the annual report, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of Seaboard's internal control over financial reporting. Their report is included herein.


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Seaboard Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Seaboard Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Seaboard Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, in 2006.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Seaboard Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 2, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Seaboard Corporation:

We have audited Seaboard Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Seaboard Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Seaboard Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Seaboard Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, and our report dated March 2, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Operations of Seaboard Corporation and its Subsidiaries

Seaboard Corporation and its subsidiaries (Seaboard) is a diversified international agribusiness and transportation company. In the United States, Seaboard is primarily engaged in pork production and processing, and ocean transportation. Overseas, Seaboard is primarily engaged in commodity merchandising, grain processing, sugar production, and electric power generation. Seaboard Flour LLC (the Parent Company) is the owner of 72.1% of Seaboard's outstanding common stock.

Principles of Consolidation and Investments in Affiliates

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Seaboard Corporation and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in non-controlled foreign affiliates are accounted for by the equity method. Financial information from certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates is reported on a one- to three-month lag depending on the specific entity.

During the second quarter of 2008, an accounting error at the Marine segment was discovered in previously issued financial statements. The error arose in the Marine segment's consolidation and intercompany elimination process of its foreign outport operations. The error, if properly recorded, would have decreased sales and net earnings in 2006 by $2,101,000, decreased sales and net earnings in 2007 by $4,171,000 and decreased sales and net earnings in the first quarter of 2008 by $964,000. As the effect on prior periods was not considered material, an adjustment to decrease sales and net earnings by $7,236,000 was recorded in the second quarter of 2008.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments are retained for future use in the business and may include money market accounts, municipal debt securities, corporate bonds and U.S. government obligations and, on a limited basis, foreign government bonds, high yield bonds, currency futures and domestic equity securities. Investments held by Seaboard that are categorized as available-for-sale are reported at fair value with any related unrealized gains and losses reported net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Investments held by Seaboard that are categorized as trading securities are reported at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses included in other investment income on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Debt securities that are categorized as held to maturity, are recorded at amortized cost, which is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest income. Gains and losses on sale of investments are generally based on the specific identification method.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. The Power division, however, collects interest on certain past due accounts and the Commodity Trading and Milling segment provides extended payment terms for certain customers and/or markets due to local business conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts is Seaboard's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses. For most operating segments, Seaboard uses a specific identification approach to determine, in management's judgment, the collection value of certain past due accounts. For the Marine segment, the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an aging percentage methodology primarily based on historical write-off experience. Seaboard reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Inventories

Seaboard uses the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market for determining inventory cost of live hogs, fresh pork product and related materials. Grain, flour and feed inventories at foreign milling operations are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market. All other inventories, including further processed pork products, are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and are being depreciated generally on the straight-line method over useful lives ranging from 3 to 30 years. Property, plant and equipment leases which are deemed to be installment purchase obligations have been capitalized and included in the property, plant and equipment accounts.


Routine and planned major maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred while major renewals and improvements are capitalized.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. See Note 6 for further discussion on the Pork Segment and its recorded value of the biodiesel processing plant.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other indefinite-life intangible assets are evaluated annually for impairment at the quarter-end closest to the anniversary date of the acquisition, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment is likely. Separable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Any one event or a combination of events such as change in the business climate, a negative change in relationships with significant customers, and changes to strategic decisions, including decisions to expand, made in response to economic or competitive conditions could require an interim assessment prior to the next required annual assessment. The most recent impairment tests performed and current market conditions indicated no impairment to Goodwill but an impairment charge to other intangible assets in the amount of $7,000,000 was recorded as of December 31, 2008. See Note 2 for further discussion on the Pork Segment and its recorded intangible asset values related to Daily's.

Accrued Self-Insurance

Seaboard is self-insured for certain levels of general and vehicle liability, property, workers' compensation, product recall and health care coverage. The cost of these self- insurance programs is accrued based upon estimated settlements for known and anticipated claims. Changes in estimates to previously recorded reserves are reflected in current operating results.

Deferred Grants

Included in other liabilities at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $6,894,000 and $7,317,000, respectively, of deferred grants. The deferred grants represent economic development funds contributed by government entities that were limited to construction of a pork processing facility in Guymon, Oklahoma. Deferred grants are being amortized as a reduction of depreciation expense over the life of the assets acquired with the funds.

Asset Retirement Obligation

Seaboard has recorded long-lived assets and a related liability for the asset retirement obligation costs associated with the closure of the hog lagoons it is legally obligated to close in the future should Seaboard cease operations or plan to close such lagoons voluntarily in accordance with a changed operating plan. Based on detailed assessments and appraisals obtained to estimate the future retirement costs, Seaboard has determined and recorded the present value of the projected costs in non-current other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, with the retirement asset depreciated over the economic life of the related asset. The following table shows the changes in the asset retirement obligation during 2008 and 2007.

                                              Years ended December 31,

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. However, in the future as these timing differences reverse, a lower statutory tax rate may apply pursuant to the provisions for domestic manufacturers of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS No. 109- 1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004", Seaboard will recognize the benefit or cost of this change in the future.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue of the containerized cargo service is recognized ratably over the transit time for each voyage with expenses associated with containerized cargo service being recognized as incurred. Revenue of the commodity trading business is recognized when the commodity is delivered to the customer, collection is reasonably assured, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Revenues from all other commercial exchanges are recognized at the time products are shipped or delivered in accordance with shipping terms or services rendered, the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection is reasonably assured and the sales price is fixed or determinable. As a result of a marketing agreement with Triumph Foods, beginning in 2006, Seaboard's sales prices for its pork products included in product revenues are primarily based on a margin sharing arrangement that considers the average sales price and mix of products sold from both Seaboard's and Triumph Foods' hog processing plants. Seaboard earns a fee for marketing the pork products of Triumph Foods and recognizes this fee as service revenue primarily based on the number of head processed by Triumph Foods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for all periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, management considers all demand deposits and overnight investments as cash equivalents. The following table shows the amounts paid for interest and income taxes.

                                           Years ended December 31,

Supplemental Noncash Transactions

As more fully described in Note 2, Seaboard repurchased the 4.74% equity interest in Seaboard Foods LLC from the former owners of Daily's effective January 1, 2007. The following table summarizes the non-cash transactions resulting from this repurchase.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Power division received $4,500,000 of fixed assets for the settlement of a receivable, not related to its business and purchased at a discount, and recognized a gain of $3,596,000 included in other investment income.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

Seaboard has operations in and transactions with customers in a number of foreign countries. The currencies of the countries fluctuate in relation to the U.S. dollar. Certain of the major contracts and transactions, however, are denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, the value of the U.S. dollar fluctuates in relation to the currencies of countries where certain of Seaboard's foreign subsidiaries and affiliates primarily conduct business. These fluctuations result in exchange gains and losses. The activities of these foreign subsidiaries and affiliates are primarily conducted with U.S. subsidiaries or operate in hyper-inflationary environments. As a result, the financial statements of certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates are re-measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Included in foreign currency gain (loss), net for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were foreign currency losses of $(4,575,000) and foreign currency gains of $1,000,000 and $1,695,000, respectively. These losses and gains reflect the re-measurements as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 of a note payable denominated in Japanese Yen, as discussed in Note 8, of a foreign consolidated subsidiary accounted for on a one-month lag except for this re-measurement of this note payable. The currency loss for 2008 and gains for 2007 and 2006 were primarily offset by a mark-to-market currency gain at December 31, 2008 and losses at December 31, 2007 and 2006 from a foreign currency derivative contract discussed in Note 9.

Seaboard's Sugar and Citrus segment and three non-controlled, non- consolidated foreign affiliates (milling businesses in Colombia, Kenya and Lesotho), use local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and income and expense items are translated at average rates. Translation gains and losses are recorded as components of other comprehensive loss. U.S. dollar denominated net asset or liability conversions to the local currency are recorded through income.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Seaboard recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at their fair values. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on its designation and effectiveness. Derivatives qualify for treatment as hedges for accounting purposes when there is a high correlation between the change in fair value of the instrument and the related change in value of the underlying commitment. In order to designate a derivative financial instrument as a hedge for accounting purposes, extensive record keeping is required. For derivatives that qualify as hedges for accounting purposes, the change in fair value has no net impact on earnings, to the extent the derivative is considered effective, until the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, or for the ineffective portion of a hedging instrument, the change in fair value does affect current period net earnings.

Seaboard holds and issues certain derivative instruments to manage various types of market risks from its day-to-day operations primarily including commodity futures and option contracts and foreign currency exchange agreements, and from time- to-time, forward freight agreements and interest rate exchange agreements. While management believes each of these instruments primarily are entered into in order to effectively manage various market risks, as of December 31, 2008, none of the derivatives are designated and accounted for as hedges primarily as a result of the extensive record-keeping requirements. From time to time, Seaboard may enter into speculative derivative transactions related to its market risks.


Accounting Changes and New Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 141(R), "Business Combinations" (FAS 141R). This statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. This statement also requires that acquisition- related costs of the acquirer be recognized separately from the business combination and will generally be expensed as incurred. Seaboard will be required to adopt this statement as of January 1, 2009. The impact of adopting FAS 141R will be limited to any future business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51" (FAS 160). This statement will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. Seaboard will be required to adopt this statement as of January 1, 2009. Management believes the adoption of FAS 160 will not have a material impact on Seaboard's financial position or net earnings.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2 which amended FAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (FAS 157). This FSP defers the effective date of FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity's financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Seaboard will be required to adopt FAS 157 for these nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as of January 1, 2009, which primarily pertains to impairment charges related to goodwill, other intangible assets not subject to amortization and property, plant and equipment. Management believes the adoption of FAS 157 deferral provisions will not have a material impact on Seaboard's financial position or net earnings.

Note 2

Acquisitions and Repurchase of Minority Interest

On July 5, 2005, Seaboard acquired Daily's, a bacon processor located in the western United States. As part of this acquisition, a 4.74% equity interest in Seaboard Foods LLC was issued to the sellers. On December 27, 2006, Seaboard entered into a Purchase Agreement to repurchase the 4.74% equity interest in Foods from the former owners of Daily's effective January 1, 2007. As part of the Purchase Agreement, on January 2, 2007 Seaboard paid $30,000,000 of the purchase price for the 4.74% equity interest to the former owners of Daily's. Based on the formula of operating results and certain net cash flows through June 30, 2007, the final purchase price was determined to be $61,260,000, including transaction costs of $53,000. Seaboard paid the balance of the purchase price owed to the former owners of Daily's of $31,207,000 in August 2007. The total purchase price for the 4.74% equity interest in Seaboard Foods LLC of $61,260,000 represents $23,327,000 in excess of book value. Seaboard applied the purchase method of accounting for this step acquisition by allocating the purchase price to the fair value of the net assets acquired to the extent of the 4.74% change in ownership. Depreciation and amortization of $593,000 was recorded in the second quarter representing the amount of depreciation on the write-up of fixed assets and amortization of intangible asset from January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007.

The agreement to repurchase the 4.74% equity interest resulted in the put option obligation being reduced to zero, as the purchase price was representative of the fair value of the 4.74% equity interest, with the offset to income as of December 31, 2006. The decrease of the put option obligation was primarily the result of the passage of time decreasing this exposure to Seaboard. Included in Miscellaneous, net for the year ended December 31, 2006 was the change in fair value of the put option obligation of approximately $5,400,000.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at January 1, 2007, the effective date of the repurchase.

The intangible asset from the repurchase is for customer relationships and will be amortized over fifteen years. As a result of the Daily's acquisition and repurchase, the Pork Division is the only segment with goodwill or intangible assets. The following table is a summary of goodwill and intangible assets acquired from the Daily's acquisition and Seaboard's repurchase of Daily's 4.74% equity interest in Foods, at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Total goodwill and intangible assets, net                $62,913    $71,523

The amortization expense of amortizable intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $1,610,000, $1,610,000 and $1,360,000 respectively. Amortization expense for the five succeeding years is $1,610,000 for the next year, $930,000 in the second year and $250,000 each for the third, fourth and fifth year.

The Pork segment recognized $28,372,000 of goodwill and $24,000,000 of other intangible assets not subject to amortization in connection with its acquisition of Daily's in 2005. Previously, the fair value of these intangible assets was partially based on certain scenarios that included management's ability and intention to grow and expand Daily's through construction or acquisition of additional capacity. During the second quarter of 2008, management decided to indefinitely delay plans for expanding Daily's capacity. As of June 28, 2008, Seaboard conducted its annual evaluation for impairment of this goodwill and other intangible assets and, based on current market conditions indicating projected future sale price increases and related levels of estimated operating margins, determined there was no impairment. However, revised projected future sales prices as of December 31, 2008 indicated the potential for impairment. In addition, the overall downturn of the United States economy and Seaboard's stock price trading below book value during the fourth quarter of 2008 provided additional indicators that Seaboard should reassess its evaluation for impairment related to Daily's intangible assets. This reassessment included downward revisions in previously used future projected sales volumes and royalty rate assumptions used in the measurement of Daily's trade name as a result of the current economic conditions. This analysis resulted in a $7,000,000 impairment charge recorded in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the fourth quarter of 2008 to write down the recorded value of Daily's trade name to its estimated fair value of $17,000,000 as of December 31, 2008. After this impairment charge, there was no indication of potential impairment of Goodwill related to Daily's as the revised estimated enterprise fair value of Daily's exceeded its book value as of December 31, 2008. If future market conditions do not produce projected future sale price increases or additional processed meats sales volumes, and related levels of estimated operating margins, there remains the possibility that some additional amount of either this goodwill or the remaining amount of recorded other intangible assets not subject to amortization, or both, could be deemed impaired during some future period including fiscal 2009, which may result in a charge to earnings.


Note 3

Investments

Seaboard's short-term investments are treated as available-for- sale securities with the exception of domestic equity securities held at December 31, 2008 that are treated as trading securities. All of Seaboard's short term investments are recorded at their estimated fair market values. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, cost and estimated fair market value were not materially different for these investments. See Note 9 for cost and fair value of short-term investments as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the available-for-sale investments primarily consisted of fixed rate municipal notes and bonds, money market funds, variable rate demand notes (VRDN), and U.S. Government agency securities. In addition, Seaboard had available-for-sale investments in auction rate securities and domestic equity securities at December 31, 2007, all of which were sold during 2008. The VRDNs are variable rate securities and have maturities over one year, however, liquidity is provided with a put feature to the tender agent which allows the holder to sell the VRDN at par plus accrued interest with a seven day notice. Because the VRDN investments are frequently re-priced, they trade in the market on a par-in, par-out basis. All available-for-sale securities are classified as current assets as they are readily available to support Seaboard's current operating needs. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, short-term investments included $14,553,000 and $13,127,000, respectively, held by a wholly-owned consolidated insurance captive to pay Seaboard's retention of accrued outstanding workers' compensation claims.

The following is a summary of the estimated fair value of short- term investments for both available for sale and trading securities at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

                                                                 December 31,

In addition to its short-term investments, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 Seaboard also had long-term investments totaling $11,748,000 and $9,800,000, respectively, included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Included in this amount is a $5,313,000 investment for a less than 20% ownership interest in a company operating a 300 megawatt electricity generating facility in the Dominican Republic. This investment is accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Also, see Note 10 for a discussion of assets held in conjunction with investments related to Seaboard's deferred compensation plans.

If the FIFO method had been used for certain inventories of the Pork segment, inventories would have been higher by $40,672,000 and $23,509,000 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

As of December 31, 2008, Seaboard had $27,901,000 recorded in grain inventories related to its commodity trading business that are committed to various customers in foreign countries for which customer contract performance is a heightened concern. This amount is net of a write-down of $7,010,000, including $5,653,000 ($4,940,000 net of tax), or $3.98 per share, recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008, based on management's estimate of net realizable value considering all of the facts and circumstances at this time. However, if Seaboard is successful in realizing more value from this inventory than what is currently estimated, or if Seaboard is unable to collect amounts from these customers as currently estimated or Seaboard is forced to find other customers for a portion of this inventory, it is possible that Seaboard could either recover previous write-downs when the inventory is sold or could incur an additional material write- down in value of this inventory if Seaboard is not successful in selling at current carrying value.

Investments in and Advances to Foreign Affiliates

Seaboard's investments in and advances to non-controlled, non- consolidated foreign affiliates are primarily with businesses conducting flour, maize and feed milling. As of December 31, 2008, the location and percentage ownership of these foreign affiliates are as follows: Democratic Republic of Congo (50%), Lesotho (50%), Kenya (35%), and Nigeria (45-48%) in Africa; Colombia (40%) and Ecuador (25-50%) in South America; and Haiti (23%) in the Caribbean. Also, Seaboard has an investment in a grain trading business in Peru (50%). Seaboard generally is the primary provider of choice for grains and supplies purchased by these non-controlled foreign affiliates. As Seaboard conducts its commodity trading business with third parties, consolidated subsidiaries and foreign affiliates on an interrelated basis, gross margin on foreign affiliates cannot be clearly distinguished without making numerous assumptions primarily with respect to mark-to-market accounting for commodity derivatives. In addition, Seaboard has investments in and advances to two sugar-related businesses in Argentina (46% - 50%). The equity method is used to account for all of the above investments.


In September 2007, Seaboard acquired for $8,500,000 a 40% non- controlling interest, including cash contributed into the business, in a flour milling business in Colombia. During the fourth quarter of 2007, Seaboard acquired for $6,620,000 a 50% non-controlling interest in a grain trading business in Peru. Both of these investments are accounted for using the equity method. At December 31, 2008, Seaboard's investment in foreign affiliates included $4,080,000 related to the difference between the amount at which these investments were carried and the amount of underlying equity in net assets. The amortizable assets are being amortized to earnings from foreign affiliates over the remaining life of the assets.

Seaboard also has an investment in a Bulgarian wine business (the Business). Beginning in March 2007, this business was unable to make its scheduled loan payments and was in technical default on its bank debt. During the fourth quarter of 2007, Seaboard signed an agreement to allow a bank to take majority ownership of the Business resulting in a loss of significant influence by Seaboard. Accordingly, after recording its share of operating losses for the fourth quarter, Seaboard discontinued using the equity method of accounting. In accordance with FASB Staff Position APB 18-1, Seaboard reversed $2,801,000 of previously recorded foreign currency translation gains out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the equity section of the balance sheet related to this investment, wrote-off the remaining investment balance of $1,472,000, and recognized as income the remaining net amount of foreign currency gains of $1,329,000 as of December 31, 2007. In 2007 and 2006, Seaboard recorded 50% of the losses from the Business. In February 2009, Seaboard received approximately $64,000 for all of its remaining shares outstanding in this Business.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, Seaboard's remaining individual investments in and advances to the Nigerian non- consolidated foreign affiliates of $1,048,000 were written down to zero as a result of Seaboard's proportionate share of operating losses of these entities. Accordingly, Seaboard has discontinued the application of the equity method of accounting for these non-consolidated foreign affiliates until such time Seaboard's share of the investee's net income equals the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method is suspended.

Combined condensed financial information of the non-controlled, non-consolidated foreign affiliates for their fiscal periods ended within each of Seaboard's years ended, excluding the Bulgarian wine operation's financial position as of December 31, 2007 and net sales and net loss for 2008 of Other Businesses, were as follows:

During the first half of 2008, Seaboard started operations at its processing plant to produce biodiesel. The ongoing profitability of this plant is primarily based on future sales prices, the price of alternative inputs, government usage mandates and the continuation of a federal tax credit, which is set to expire at the end of 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2008, a combination of continued start-up expenses, a decrease in fuel prices and relatively high input prices resulted in an operating loss. Seaboard performed an impairment evaluation of this plant as of December 31, 2008 but determined there was no impairment based on management's current assumptions of future production volumes, sale prices, cost inputs and the probabilities of the combination of federal usage mandates and tax credits extensions. However, if future market conditions do not produce projected sale prices or expected cost inputs or there is a material change in the government usage mandates or available tax credits, there is a possibility that some amount of the recorded value of this processing plant could be deemed impaired during some future period including 2009, which may result in a charge to earnings. The recorded value of these assets as of December 31, 2008 was $45,278,000.

Seaboard recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties in income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, such interest and penalties were not material. The Company had approximately $726,000 and $121,000 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, Seaboard had $3,464,000 and $433,000, respectively, in total unrecognized tax benefits all of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Seaboard does not have any material uncertain tax positions in which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date. During 2008 and 2007, there were no settlements or reductions due to a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits.

Seaboard's tax returns are regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in adjustments. Seaboard's U.S. federal income tax returns have been reviewed through the 2004 tax year. In the second quarter of 2006, Seaboard reached a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service on its audit of Seaboard's 2004 and 2003 U.S. Federal Tax Returns. The favorable resolution of these tax issues resulted in a tax benefit of $2,786,000 for items previously reserved which was recorded in the second quarter of 2006.

As of December 31 2008, Seaboard had not provided for U.S. Federal Income and foreign withholding taxes on $532,461,000 of undistributed earnings from foreign operations as Seaboard intends to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside of the United States. Determination of the tax that might be paid on these undistributed earnings if eventually remitted is not practicable.

Seaboard has tax holidays in one foreign country in 2008 and had tax holidays in two foreign countries in 2007 and 2006 which resulted in tax savings of approximately $1,961,000, $2,646,000 and $3,969,000, or $1.58, $2.10 and $3.15 per diluted earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. One of these expired at the end of 2007 and the other expires in 2012.

Management believes Seaboard's future taxable income will be sufficient for full realization of the net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance relates to the tax benefits from foreign net operating losses, U.S. charitable contribution carryforwards and from losses on investments that would be recognized as capital losses. Management does not believe these benefits are more likely than not to be realized due to limitations imposed on the deduction of these losses. The increase of $2,956,000 in the valuation allowance for 2008 was primarily the result of U.S. charitable contributions of appreciated property made in 2008 which are subject to a five year carryforward period and certain taxable income limitations, partially offset by the realization of capital loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2008, Seaboard had foreign net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $32,811,000 a portion of which expire in varying amounts between 2009 and 2012, while others have indefinite expiration periods.

At December 31, 2008, Seaboard had state tax credit carry forwards of approximately $10,451,000, $9,787,000 of the state tax credits carryforward indefinitely and $664,000 expire between 2012 and 2017.


Note 8

Notes Payable and Long-term Debt

Notes payable amounting to $177,205,000 and $85,088,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, consisted of obligations due banks on demand or based on Seaboard's ability and intent to repay within one year. On July 10, 2008, Seaboard entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that increased its committed line of credit from $100,000,000 to $300,000,000. This credit facility has a term of five years, maturing July 10, 2013. At December 31, 2008, Seaboard had a committed line totaling $300,000,000 and uncommitted lines totaling approximately $134,341,000 of which $99,841,000 of the uncommitted lines relate to foreign subsidiaries. At December 31, 2008, borrowings outstanding under the committed line totaled $115,000,000 and borrowings outstanding under the uncommitted lines totaled $5,567,000, all related to foreign subsidiaries. The uncommitted borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2008 primarily represented $5,188,000 denominated in Argentine pesos. At December 31, 2008, Seaboard's borrowing capacity under its committed and uncommitted lines were reduced by letters of credit
(LCs) totaling $58,071,000, and $1,276,000, respectively, primarily including $42,688,000 of LCs for Seaboard's outstanding Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (IDRBs) and $15,208,000 related to insurance coverages. Also included in Notes Payable at December 31, 2008 was a term note of $56,638,000 denominated in Japanese Yen which was converted during the fourth quarter of 2008 from a previous uncommitted line. The weighted average interest rates for outstanding notes payable were 6.04% and 5.33% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The notes payable to banks under the credit lines are unsecured. The lines of credit do not require compensating balances. Facility fees on these agreements are not material.

The following table is a summary of long-term debt at the end of each year.

Of the 2008 foreign subsidiary obligations, $1,074,000 was denominated in CFA francs, $262,000 was payable in Argentine pesos, and the remaining $143,000 was denominated in Mozambique metical. Of the 2007 foreign subsidiary obligations, $1,692,000 was denominated in CFA francs, $280,000 was payable in Argentine pesos, and the remaining $149,000 was denominated in Mozambique metical.

The terms of the note agreements pursuant to which the senior notes, IDRBs, bank debt and credit lines were issued require, among other terms, the maintenance of certain ratios and minimum net worth, the most restrictive of which requires consolidated funded debt not to exceed 50% of consolidated total capitalization; an adjusted leverage ratio of less than 3.5 to 1.0; requires the maintenance of consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, of not less than $1,150,000,000 plus 25% of cumulative consolidated net income beginning March 29, 2008; limits aggregate


dividend payments to $10.0 million plus 50% of consolidated net income less 100% of consolidated net losses beginning January 1, 2002 plus the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds of Capital Stock for such period ($497,863,000 as of December 31, 2008) or $15,000,000 per year under certain circumstances; limits the sum of subsidiary indebtedness and priority indebtedness to 10% of consolidated tangible net worth; and limits Seaboard's ability to acquire investments and sell assets under certain circumstances. Seaboard is in compliance with all restrictive debt covenants relating to these agreements as of December 31, 2008.

Annual maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 2008 are as follows: $47,054,000 in 2009, $2,028,000 in 2010, $1,477,000 in 2011, $32,546,000 in 2012, $556,000 in 2013 and $41,953,000 thereafter.

Note 9

Derivatives and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As discussed in Note 1, Seaboard adopted FAS 157 on January 1, 2008 with the exception of the disclosure requirements for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that were deferred. FAS 157 discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (prices and other relevant information generated by market conditions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities), the income approach (techniques to convert future amounts to single present amounts based on market expectations including present value techniques and option-pricing), and the cost approach (amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset which is often referred to as replacement cost). FAS 157 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1: Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Assets - Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant Other Observable Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs - Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions.

The following table shows assets and liabilities measured at fair value (derivatives exclude margin accounts) on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008 and also the level within the fair value hierarchy used to measure each category of assets.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" (FAS 161). This statement will change the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, net earnings, and cash flows. Seaboard will be required to adopt these new disclosures as of January 1, 2009.

Commodity Instruments

Seaboard uses various grain, meal, hog, pork bellies and energy related resources futures and options to manage its exposure to price fluctuations for raw materials and other inventories,

finished  product  sales  and  firm  sales  commitments.    While
management  believes  its  commodity  futures  and  options   are
primarily  economic  hedges  of  its  firm  purchase  and   sales

contracts or anticipated sales contracts, Seaboard does not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for these types of transactions as hedges for accounting purposes. From time to time, Seaboard may enter into speculative derivative transactions not directly related to its raw material requirements. The nature of Seaboard's market risk exposure has not changed materially since December 31, 2007. The fair value of these commodity derivatives are included with other current assets or other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change in fair value of the commodity derivatives are marked to market as a component of cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Since these derivatives are not accounted for as hedges, fluctuations in the related commodity prices could have a material impact on earnings in any given year.

As previously disclosed, during July 2008 the Pork segment significantly increased the number of hog, grain and oilseed futures contracts entered into based on market conditions that existed at that point in time. During the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2008, as a result of changes in market conditions since July, these additional positions were closed leaving remaining open positions more closely approximating historical levels.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, Seaboard had open net contracts to purchase and (sell) (8,305,000) and 11,182,000 bushels of grain with fair values of $(3,272,000) and $7,489,000, respectively, and 61,000 and (54,000) tons of soybean meal with fair values of $(589,000) and $(5,557,000), respectively, and 13,200,000 and 11,400,000 pounds of hogs with fair values of $(23,000) and $(996,000), respectively, included with other accrued liabilities or other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2008, Seaboard had contracts to sell 1,722,000 tons of heating oil with a fair value of $59,000. In addition, at December 31, 2007 Seaboard also had contracts to buy 720,000 pounds of pork bellies with a fair value of $2,000. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 Seaboard recognized net realized and unrealized gains of $36,156,000 $18,469,000, and $12,157,000, respectively, related to commodity contracts, primarily included in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Foreign currency exchange agreements

Seaboard enters into foreign currency exchange agreements to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The fair value of the foreign exchange agreements are included in other current assets or other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. The change in value of the foreign exchange agreements are marked to market as a component of cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as management believes these primarily related to the underlying commodity transaction with the exception of the Yen foreign exchange agreement. The change in value of the Yen foreign exchange agreement is marked to market as a component of foreign currency gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Since these agreements are not accounted for as hedges, fluctuations in the related currency exchange rates could have a material impact on earnings in any given year.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, Seaboard had trading foreign exchange contracts (receive $U.S./pay South African Rand (ZAR)) to cover its firm sales commitments and trade receivables with notional amounts of $77,343,000 and $99,854,000, respectively, with a fair value of $1,817,000, and $(471,000), respectively, included in other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, Seaboard had trading foreign exchange contracts (receive $U.S./pay ZAR) to cover various foreign currency working capital needs for notional amounts of $28,490,000 and $598,000 respectively, with fair values of $(114,000) and $(1,000), respectively.


At December 31, 2008 and 2007 Seaboard had trading foreign exchange contracts (receive $U.S./pay Euro) to cover its firm sales commitments and trade receivables with a notional amount of $43,076,000 and $26,706,000 respectively, with fair values of $(2,367,000) and $(1,186,000), respectively, included in other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At December 31, 2008, Seaboard had trading foreign exchange contracts (pay $U.S./receive Canadian Dollars) to cover its purchase commitments and trade payables with a notional amount of $105,000 with fair values of $6,000.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, Seaboard had trading foreign exchange contracts (receive Japanese Yen/pay $U.S.) to cover note payable borrowings for a term note denominated in Japanese Yen for notional amounts of $58,781,000 and $63,081,000, respectively, with fair values of $1,017,000 and $(1,945,000), respectively.

Forward Freight Agreements

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Commodity Trading and Milling segment entered into certain forward freight agreements, viewed as taking long positions in the freight market as well as covering short freight sales, which may or may not result in actual losses when future trades are executed. These forward freight agreements which extend into 2009 are viewed by management as an economic hedge against the potential of future rising charter hire rates to be incurred by this segment for bulk cargo shipping while conducting its business of delivering grains to customers in many international locations. At December 31, 2008, Seaboard had agreements to pay $41,500 and receive $47,750 per day during 2009 with fair values of $(11,636,000) and $13,917,000, respectively, included with other accrued liabilities and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2007, Seaboard had agreements to pay $61,250 per day during 2008 and $41,500 per day during 2009 with fair values of $(3,546,000) and $(2,043,000), respectively, included with other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change in value related to these agreements is recorded in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

Interest Rate Exchange Agreements

In December 2008, Seaboard entered into a ten-year interest rate exchange agreement which involves the exchange of fixed-rate and variable-rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates on variable rate debt. Seaboard pays a fixed rate and receives a variable rate of interest on a notional amount of $25,000,000. The fair value of this interest rate derivative was not material at December 31, 2008.

At December 31, 2005 Seaboard had five, ten-year interest rate exchange agreements outstanding that were not paired with specific variable rate contracts, whereby Seaboard paid a stated fixed rate and received a variable rate of interest on a total notional amount of $150,000,000. While Seaboard had certain variable rate debt, these interest rate exchange agreements did not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. During the second quarter of 2006, Seaboard terminated all interest rate exchange agreements with a total notional value of $150,000,000. Seaboard made payments in the amount of $1,028,000 to unwind these swaps. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the net gain for interest rate exchange agreements not accounted for as hedges was $3,374,000 and was included in Miscellaneous, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Included in the gain for 2006 are net payments of $909,000 during 2006 for the difference between the fixed rate paid and variable rate received on these contracts.

Note 10

Employee Benefits

Seaboard maintains a defined benefit pension plan (the Plan) for its domestic salaried and clerical employees. The Plan generally provides eligibility for participation after one year of service upon attaining the age of 21. Benefits are generally based upon the number of years of service and a percentage of final average pay. Seaboard has historically based pension contributions on minimum funding standards to avoid the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation variable rate premiums established by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. However, because of Seaboard's positive liquidity position for the past three years, management authorized additional contributions to be made. In February 2006 Seaboard made a contribution of $3,811,000 which was the maximum deductible contribution allowed for the 2005 plan year. In April 2007, Seaboard made a deductible contribution of $10,000,000 for the 2006 plan year, which resulted in a slightly overfunded status in the Plan as of December 31, 2007. As a result of the significant investment losses incurred in the Plan during the fourth quarter of 2008, management is currently evaluating the amount of an additional contribution to be made for the 2008 plan year during fiscal 2009. Although no final decision is expected until sometime late in the first quarter or early in the second


quarter, it is expected a contribution will be made in the range of $2,000,000 to $15,000,000. As a result of this contribution, at this time management does not anticipate making a contribution for the 2009 plan year.

Assets are invested in the Plan to achieve a diversified overall portfolio consisting primarily of individual stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Seaboard is willing to accept a moderate level of risk to potentially achieve higher investment returns. The overall portfolio is evaluated relative to customized benchmarks, and is expected to exceed the customized benchmark over five year rolling periods and longer. The investment strategy provides investment managers' discretion and is periodically reviewed by management for continued appropriateness. Derivatives, real estate investments, non-marketable and private equity or placement securities are not allowed investments under the Plan. Seaboard's asset allocation targets and actual investment composition within the Plan were as follows:

Actual Plan Composition at December 31, Target Percentage

                          of Portfolio            2008         2007

Cash                           1%                  1%           0%

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP 132(R)-1 which amends FAS No. 132(R), "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This FSP requires more detailed disclosures about employers' plan assets, including employers' investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. Seaboard will be required to adopt these new disclosure requirements as of December 31, 2009 and provide this additional information at that time.

Seaboard also sponsors non-qualified, unfunded supplemental executive plans and has certain individual, non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement agreements for certain retired employees. The unamortized prior service cost is being amortized over the average remaining working lifetime of the active participants for this plan. Management has no plans to provide funding for these supplemental executive plans in advance of when the benefits are paid.

Assumptions used in determining pension information for the plans were:

                                                   Years ended December 31,
                                                2008        2007        2006

Weighted-average assumptions
 Discount rate used to determine obligations    6.25%       6.50%       5.75%
 Discount rate used to determine net periodic
  benefit cost                                  6.50%       5.75%       5.50%
 Expected return on plan assets                 7.50%       7.50%       7.50%
 Long-term rate of increase in compensation
  levels                                     4.00-5.00%  4.00-5.00%  4.00-5.00%

For 2008 and 2007, management selected the discount rate based on a model-based result where the timing and amount of cash flows approximates the estimated payouts. For 2006, management selected the discount rate based on Moody's year-end published Aa corporate bond yield, rounded to the nearest quarter percentage point and compared this rate for reasonableness to a model-based result which the timing and amount of cash outflows approximates the estimated payouts. The expected return on Plan assets assumption is based on the weighted average of asset class expected returns that are consistent with historical returns. The assumed rate selected was based on model-based results that reflect the Plan's asset allocation and related long-term projected returns. The measurement date for all plans is December 31. The unrecognized net actuarial losses are generally amortized over the average remaining working lifetime of the active participants for these plans.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans" (FAS 158). This statement required companies to fully recognize, as an asset or liability, the overfunded or underfunded status of its benefit plan(s) with the offset to accumulated other comprehensive income, a


component of stockholders' equity. This statement requires employers to recognize previously disclosed but unrecognized gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations when recognizing a plan's funded status as a component of shareholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2006, Seaboard adopted FAS 158. The adoption of FAS 158 increased pension liabilities by $15,427,000, reduced prepaid pension assets by $13,342,000, reduced intangible pension assets by $7,498,000 and reduced total shareholders' equity by $25,014,000, net of a deferred tax asset of $11,253,000. FAS 158 did not have an effect on 2006 net earnings or prior year financial statements.

The changes in the plans' benefit obligations and fair value of assets for the Plan, supplemental executive plans and retirement agreements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and a statement of the funded status as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

The funded status of the Plan was ($14,306,000) and $15,682,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation for the Plan was $65,994,000 and $59,674,000 and for the other plans was $38,593,000 and $32,750,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Expected future net benefit payments for all plans during each of the next five years and in aggregate for the five year period beginning with the sixth year are as follows: $4,969,000, $8,103,000, $5,547,000, $6,393,000, $6,245,000, and $54,070,000, respectively.

The amounts not reflected in net periodic benefit cost and included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

The late Mr. H. H. Bresky retired as President and CEO of Seaboard effective July 6, 2006. As a result of Mr. Bresky's retirement, he was entitled to a lump sum payment of $8,709,000 from Seaboard's Executive Retirement Plan. Under IRS regulations, there is a six month delay of benefit payments for key employees and thus Mr. Bresky was not paid his lump sum until February 2007. This lump sum payment exceeded the Company's service and interest cost components under this plan and thus required Seaboard to recognize a portion of its actuarial losses. However, Seaboard was not relieved of its obligation until the settlement was paid in 2007. Accordingly, the settlement loss of $3,671,000 was not recognized until February 2007 in accordance with FAS No. 88, "Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension for Termination Benefits."

The amounts in AOCI expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost in 2009 are as follows:

(Thousands of dollars)                                    2009

Accumulated loss, net of gain                            $4,076

 Estimated net periodic benefit cost                     $4,894

The accumulated unrecognized losses for 2008 in the Plan as of December 31, 2008 exceeded the 10% deferral threshold as permitted under FAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" as a result of the significant investment losses incurred during 2008. Accordingly, Seaboard's pension expense for the Plan will increase by approximately $3,000,000 for 2009 as compared to 2008 as a result of loss amortization. In addition, pension expense for the Plan is expected to increase an additional $1,739,000 as a result of reduced expected return on assets, from the decline of assets in the Plan during 2008.

Seaboard participates in a multi-employer pension fund, which covers certain union employees under a collective bargaining agreement. Seaboard is required to make contributions to this plan in amounts established under the collective bargaining agreement. Contribution expense for this plan was $498,000, $453,000 and $442,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The applicable portion of the total plan benefits and net assets of this plan is not separately identifiable although Seaboard has received notice the pension fund was under funded. Seaboard could, under certain circumstances, be liable for unfunded vested benefits or other expenses of this jointly administered union plan. Seaboard has not established any liabilities for potential future withdrawal as such withdrawal from this plan is not probable.

Seaboard maintains a defined contribution plan covering most of its domestic salaried and clerical employees. Seaboard contributes to this plan an amount equal to 100% of employee contributions up to a maximum of 3% of employee compensation. Employee vesting is based upon years of service with 20% vested after one year of service and an additional 20% vesting with each additional complete year of service. Contribution expense for this plan was $1,812,000, $1,709,000 and $1,643,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, Seaboard maintains a defined contribution plan covering most of its hourly, non-union employees and two defined contribution plans covering most of Daily's employees. Contribution expense for these plans was $1,038,000, $893,000 and $664,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.


Beginning in 2006, Seaboard established a deferred compensation plan which allows certain employees to reduce their compensation in exchange for values in three investments. Seaboard also has an Investment Option Plan which allowed certain employees to reduce their compensation in exchange for an option to acquire interests measured by reference to three investments. However, as a result of U.S. tax legislation passed in 2004, reductions to compensation earned after 2004 are no longer allowed under the Investment Option Plan. The exercise price for each investment option was established based upon the fair market value of the underlying investment on the date of grant. Under both plans, Seaboard contributes 3% of the employees reduced compensation. Seaboard's expense (income) for these two deferred compensation plans, which primarily includes amounts related to the change in fair value of the underlying investment accounts, was $(9,539,000), $2,298,000 and $2,466,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Included in other liabilities at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are $15,930,000 and $24,009,000, respectively, representing the market value of the payable to the employees upon exercise for both plans. In conjunction with these plans, Seaboard purchased the specified number of units of the employee-designated investment plus the applicable option price for the Investment Option Plan. These investments are treated as trading securities and are stated at their fair market values. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, $22,225,000 and $27,773,000, respectively, were included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investment income (loss) related to the mark-to-market of these investments for 2008, 2007, and 2006 totaled $(9,618,000), $2,183,000 and $2,358,000, respectively.

Note 11

Commitments and Contingencies

During the fourth quarter of 2005, Seaboard's subsidiary, Seaboard Marine, received a notice of violation letter from U.S. Customs and Border Protection demanding payment of a significant penalty for an alleged failure to manifest narcotics in connection with Seaboard Marine's shipping operations, in violation of a federal statute and regulation. In response to Seaboard Marine's petition for relief, the amount of the penalty has been reduced to an amount which will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. Seaboard has appealed the reduced penalty to seek a further reduction in the penalty.

Seaboard is subject to various other legal proceedings related to the normal conduct of its business, including various environmental related actions. In the opinion of management, none of these actions is expected to result in a judgment having a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of Seaboard.

Contingent Obligations

Certain of the non-consolidated affiliates and third party contractors who perform services for Seaboard have bank debt supporting their underlying operations. From time to time, Seaboard will provide guarantees of that debt allowing a lower borrowing rate or facilitating third party financing in order to further business objectives. Seaboard does not issue guarantees of third parties for compensation. As of December 31, 2008, Seaboard had guarantees outstanding to two third parties with a total maximum exposure of $1,978,000. Seaboard has not accrued a liability for any of the third party or affiliate guarantees as management considers the likelihood of loss to be remote.

As of December 31, 2008, Seaboard had outstanding $62,389,000 of letters of credit (LCs) with various banks. Included in this amount are LCs that reduced Seaboard's borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities as discussed in Note 8 totaling $42,688,000 which support the IDRBs included as long-term debt and $15,208,000 of LCs related to insurance coverage.


Commitments

As of December 31, 2008 Seaboard had various firm noncancelable purchase commitments and commitments under other agreements, arrangements and operating leases as described in the table below.

Seaboard has contracted with third parties for the purchase of live hogs to process at its pork processing plant and has entered into grain and feed ingredient purchase contracts to support its live hog operations. The commitment amounts included in the table are based on projected market prices as of December 31, 2008. During 2008, 2007 and 2006, this segment paid $155,400,000, $131,490,000 and $114,921,000, respectively for live hogs purchased under committed contracts.

The Commodity Trading and Milling segment enters into grain purchase contracts and ocean freight contracts, primarily to support firm sales commitments. These contracts are valued based on projected commodity prices as of December 31, 2008. This segment also has short-term freight contracts in place for delivery of future grain sales.

The Power division has entered into a contract for the supply of substantially all fuel required through June 2009 at market-based prices. The fuel commitment shown above reflects the average price per barrel at December 31, 2008 for the minimum number of barrels specified in the agreement.

The Marine segment enters into contracts to time-charter vessels for use in its operations. These contracts range from short-term time-charters for a few months and long-term commitments ranging from one to three years. This segment's charter hire expenses during 2008, 2007 and 2006 totaled $115,877,000, $88,761,000 and $91,747,000, respectively.

To support the operations of the Pork segment, Seaboard has contract grower finishing agreements in place with farmers to raise a portion of Seaboard's hogs according to Seaboard's specifications under long-term service agreements. Under the terms of the agreements, additional payments would be required if the grower achieves certain performance standards. The contract grower finishing obligations shown above do not reflect these incentive payments which, given current operating performance, total approximately $1,500,000 per year. In the event the farmer is unable to perform at an acceptable level, Seaboard has the right to terminate the contract. During the years ended 2008, 2007 and 2006, Seaboard paid $13,389,000, $13,280,000 and $13,646,000, respectively, under contract grower finishing agreements.


On May 30, 2008, Seaboard Marine Ltd. ("Seaboard Marine"), entered into an Amended and Restated Terminal Agreement with Miami-Dade County ("County") for Marine Terminal Operations ("Amended Terminal Agreement"), pursuant to which Seaboard Marine renewed its existing Terminal Agreement with the County at the Port of Miami. The Amended Terminal Agreement will enable Seaboard Marine to continue its existing operations at the Port of Miami. The Amended Terminal Agreement has a term through September 30, 2028, with two five-year renewal options, the exercise of which are subject to certain conditions. The total minimum payments over the initial term of the Amended Terminal Agreement approximate $283,000,000. This minimum amount could increase if certain conditions are met. In addition, the Amended Terminal Agreement requires Seaboard Marine to fund approximately $5,000,000 in terminal upgrades subject to certain conditions. The Amended Terminal Agreement also requires the County to make certain improvements to Seaboard Marine's container yard and adjacent berths at the Port of Miami. Seaboard also leases various facilities and equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements. Rental expense for operating leases amounted to $20,413,000, $17,904,000 and $16,008,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 12

Stockholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

On August 7, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized Seaboard to repurchase from time to time prior to August 31, 2009 up to $50,000,000 market value of its Common Stock in open market or privately negotiated purchases, of which $14,500,000 remained available at December 31, 2008. Under this repurchase plan, Seaboard used cash to repurchase 3,852 shares of common stock at a total price of $5,012,000 in 2008 and 17,089 shares of common stock at a total price of $30,488,000 in 2007. The stock repurchase will be funded by cash on hand or short-term available borrowing capacity. Shares repurchased are retired and resume status of authorized and unissued shares.

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related taxes, are summarized as follows:

        Accumulated other comprehensive loss   $(111,703)  $(78,651)  $(82,493)

The foreign currency translation adjustment primarily represents the effect of the Argentine peso currency exchange fluctuation on the net assets of the Sugar and Citrus segment. When the Argentine government lifted the one to one parity of the peso to the U.S. dollar at the end of 2001, the peso lost significant value against the dollar. At December 31, 2008, the Sugar and Citrus segment had $176,908,000 in net assets denominated in Argentine pesos, $16,154,000 in net assets denominated in U.S. dollars and $56,638,000 of liabilities denominated in Japanese Yen in Argentina.

As discussed in Note 10, as of December 31, 2006 Seaboard adopted SFAS 158 resulting in a $25,014,000 increase in unrecognized pension cost net of a deferred tax benefit of $11,253,000.

With the exception of the provision related to the foreign currency translation gains and losses discussed above, which are taxed at a 35% rate, income taxes for components of accumulated other comprehensive loss were recorded using a 39% effective tax rate. For 2008 and 2007, the unrecognized pension cost includes $15,721,000 and $5,457,000, respectively, related to employees at certain subsidiaries for which no tax benefit has been recorded.


Note 13

Segment Information

Seaboard Corporation had four reportable segments through December 31, 2008: Pork, Commodity Trading and Milling, Marine, and Sugar and Citrus, each offering a specific product or service. Seaboard's reporting segments are based on information used by Seaboard's Chief Executive Officer in his capacity as chief operating decision maker to determine allocation of resources and assess performance. Each of the four main segments is separately managed and each was started or acquired independent of the other segments. The Pork segment produces and sells fresh and frozen pork products to further processors, foodservice operators, grocery stores, distributors and retail outlets throughout the United States, and to Japan, Mexico and certain other foreign markets. The Commodity Trading and Milling segment internationally markets wheat, corn, soybean meal, rice and other similar commodities in bulk to third party customers and to non-consolidated foreign affiliates. This segment also operates flour, maize and feed mills in foreign countries. The Marine segment, based in Miami, Florida, provides containerized cargo shipping services between the United States, the Caribbean Basin, and Central and South America. The Sugar and Citrus segment produces and processes sugar, citrus and alcohol in Argentina primarily to be marketed locally. Revenues for All Other segments are primarily derived from the Power division, which operates as an unregulated independent power producer in the Dominican Republic generating power from a system of diesel engines mounted on two barges.

The Pork segment derives approximately 12% percent of its revenues from a few customers in Japan through one agent. Approximately all of its hourly employees at its Guymon processing plant are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. During the first quarter of 2006, Triumph Foods began production at its new pork processing plant and Seaboard began marketing the Triumph pork products for a fee primarily based on the number of head processed by Triumph Foods. The Triumph Foods plant reached full double shift operating capacity during 2007.

The Pork segment incurred an impairment charge of $7,000,000 related to the Daily's trade name in the fourth quarter of 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the Pork segment has $28,372,000 of goodwill and $17,000,000 of other intangibles not subject to amortization in connection with its acquisition of Daily's. See Note 2 for further discussion including the potential for additional future impairment of these intangible assets, In addition, as of December 31, 2008, the Pork segment had fixed assets with a net book value of $45,278,000 related to its biodiesel processing plant which began operations during 2008. See Note 6 for discussion of the potential for future impairment of these fixed assets.

In previously filed annual reports, Seaboard had separately reported its Power division as a reportable segment. This division does not meet the technical requirements for reporting as a separate segment and is not expected to in the future. Accordingly, the Power division is now reported as a part of "All Other" and prior periods have been appropriately reclassified. The Power division sells approximately 40% of its power generation to a government-owned distribution company under a short-term contract for which Seaboard bears a concentrated credit risk as this customer, from time to time, has significant past due balances. As of December 31, 2008, this customer account had total billings outstanding of $27,300,000, of which $20,000,000 was reclassified to long-term as of December 31, 2008 based on current collection negotiations.

On March 2, 2009, an agreement became effective under which Seaboard will sell its two power barges in the Dominican Republic for $70,000,000, which will use such barges for private use. The agreement calls for the sale to occur on or around January 1, 2011. Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, which are expected to be met during March 2009, $15,000,000 will be paid to Seaboard and the $55,000,000 balance of the purchase price will be paid into escrow and paid to Seaboard at the closing of the sale. The book value of the two barges was $23,851,000 as of December 31, 2008. Seaboard will continue to operate these two barges until the closing date of the sale, with an estimated annual depreciation cost of approximately $3,600,000. Seaboard will be responsible for the wind down and decommissioning costs of the barges. Completion of the sale is dependent upon several issues, including meeting certain baseline performance and emission tests. Failure to satisfy or cure any deficiencies could result in the agreement being terminated. Seaboard could be responsible to pay liquidated damages of up to approximately $15,000,000 should it fail to perform its obligations under the agreement, after expiration of applicable cure and grace periods. Seaboard will retain all other physical properties of this business and is considering options to continue its power business in the Dominican Republic after the sale of these assets is completed.


Seaboard's investment in a Bulgarian wine business (the Business) and related losses from this Business are included in the All Other Segments. As discussed in Note 5, after recording its share of operating losses for the fourth quarter of 2007, Seaboard discontinued using the equity method of accounting and wrote-off the remaining investment balance as of December 31, 2007. In 2007 and 2006, Seaboard recorded 50% of the losses from the Business. In June 2008, Seaboard received $1,078,000 from another shareholder of the Business in exchange for the assignment by Seaboard to the shareholder of all rights to Seaboard's previous loans and advances to the Business. The proceeds of this transaction were recorded in Other Investment Income. In February 2009, Seaboard received approximately $64,000 for all of its remaining shares outstanding in this Business.

The following tables set forth specific financial information about each segment as reviewed by management. Operating income for segment reporting is prepared on the same basis as that used for consolidated operating income. Operating income, along with income from foreign affiliates for the Commodity Trading and Milling segment, is used as the measure of evaluating segment performance because management does not consider interest and income tax expense on a segment basis.
