(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; PROVIDED that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrowers may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); PROVIDED that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20. BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (b) the failure to borrow, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of any Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Cash Payment Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits from other banks in the eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive

pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.03. EXPENSES; INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVER. (a)The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "INDEMNITEE") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated therein, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; PROVIDED that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

(d) As an inducement for the Independent Member and Independent Manger to agree to serve in such capacities, each of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the

Lenders have agreed to the provisions of this subsection, which provisions shall be for the express benefit of the Independent Member and the Independent Manger.

Upon the terms and provisions of this subsection, the Independent CRE Indemnification shall be treated as additional Revolving Loan Obligations payable hereunder up to an amount not exceeding the Independent CRE Limitation. For purposes of this subsection, the "INDEPENDENT CRE LIMITATION" is defined as an amount not exceeding the lesser of: (1) at any applicable time, the amount by which the Independent CRE Indemnification has not been paid to the Independent Member or Independent Manger under any applicable director and officer insurance policy or similar insurance policy, regardless of whether such insurance policy has been obtained, or is for the benefit of, the Borrowers, their Affiliates, the Independent Member and Independent Manager, or otherwise, and (2) $500,000. Up to the Independent CRE Limitation, the Independent Member and Independent Manager shall share PARI PASSU with the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in and to the Collateral and other security interests granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Security Documents. Each of the parties hereto further agree that the Independent CRE Indemnification is in addition to the other Revolving Loan Obligations and shall not reduce any other amounts or obligations owed by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents are the right of the Administrative Agent, which shall remain protected by the Collateral and Security Interests provided by the Security Documents. In addition, the rights provided to the Independent Member and Independent Manager shall not affect any other rights to indemnification, contribution or otherwise applicable contract, equity or at law.

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or Independent CRE Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(f) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent

and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); PROVIDED that
(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
(ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,000,000 unless each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $1,000, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; PROVIDED further that any consent of the Borrowers otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); PROVIDED that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; PROVIDED that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with each Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with
Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; PROVIDED that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. SURVIVAL. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its

behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. RIGHT OF SETOFF. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this
Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against each Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY 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 AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.10.

EXECUTION VERSION
Dated 10/13/03

SUN WORLD-BONDHOLDER-CADIZ TERM SHEET AND AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE

This Term Sheet and Agreement in Principle sets forth the principal terms and conditions for an overall settlement of outstanding issues among (a) Sun World International, Inc. and its debtor affiliates (collectively, "Sun World"), (b) Cadiz Inc. ("Cadiz"), and (c) Black Diamond Capital Management, L.L.C. and CFSC Wayland Advisers, Inc. and their respective affiliates (collectively, the "Majority Bondholders"), who are the holders of not less than 70% in dollar amount of Sun World's senior secured Notes due 2004 (in the aggregate, the "Notes"; holders of the Notes are referred to herein as "Bondholders"). This Term Sheet and Agreement in Principle contains a binding and enforceable agreement among the parties. The parties hereto further agree to use their good faith efforts to complete and execute, by November 6, 2003, final transactional documentation for the implementation of the agreements contained herein, but any failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of the agreements contained herein. Nothing herein shall constitute an admission or waiver of any kind by any party, except as expressly provided herein.

I. INITIAL SETTLEMENT

A. Sun World will seek and obtain approval from the Bankruptcy Court in which its current chapter 11 case is pending (the "Court"), pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of a settlement of claims by and against Cadiz (the "Initial Settlement").(1) The Initial Settlement shall be binding on Sun World's estates and creditors and shall provide that, in full and final settlement of all Sun World estates claims and causes of action against Cadiz (including without limitation any possible avoidance actions under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code) and all of Cadiz's claims

and causes of action against the Sun World estates (including without limitation claims for rejection damages) (the "Cadiz Claim"), Cadiz shall be granted an allowed, general unsecured claim against Sun World in an amount not less than $13 million(2) (the "Allowed Cadiz Claim").

B. As part of the Initial Settlement and effective only upon the Closing (as defined below), (i) Cadiz shall agree that it will affirmatively support a plan of reorganization for Sun World that provides no recovery on account of any equity interest in Sun World that Cadiz holds and that is otherwise consistent with this Term Sheet and Agreement in Principle, thus eliminating potential valuation litigation cost and expense for Sun World's estate which would otherwise result from a Cadiz objection to confirmation in its capacity as the equity holder of Sun World, and (ii) the parties shall consent to the termination/rejection of all contracts and agreements between Cadiz and Sun World except as provided in section 1.D. below.

C. The motion to approve the Initial Settlement shall provide full disclosure of the terms of the agreement among Cadiz, Sun World, and the Majority Bondholders.

D. The parties' respective rights and obligations under the Agricultural Lease between Cadiz, as lessor, and Sun World, as lessee, previously assumed (as amended) by Sun World pursuant to an order of the Court, shall not be affected by the Initial Settlement or anything else contained herein.

2. TRANSFER OF CADIZ CLAIM AND EQUITY INTEREST TO BONDHOLDER TRUST

A. Cadiz agrees that, at a closing (the "Closing") to occur on or before the fifth business day after the Court's order approving the Initial Settlement becomes final and non-appealable (or prior thereto if so agreed by Cadiz and the Majority Bondholders in their discretion), Cadiz shall assign to a trust or similar legal entity formed for the benefit of all Bondholders (the "Bondholder Trust") (i) the Allowed Cadiz Claim and (ii) Cadiz's equity interest in Sun World (provided that the

Bondholder Trust shall not be permitted to vote such shares to exercise control over Sun World prior to confirmation of a Sun World plan of reorganization or consummation of a sale of substantially all Sun World assets), in exchange for the consideration set forth below. The Bondholder Trust shall be administered by the Majority Bondholders.

B. The Bondholder Trust shall receive all distributions from the Sun World estate (under a plan of reorganization or otherwise) on account of the Allowed Cadiz Claim. Each Bondholder shall have the right to receive its ratable share of the assets in the Bondholder Trust if either (i) such Bondholder executes a form (the "Opt-In Form") that provides for the things set forth below or (ii) a reorganization plan for Sun World that is accepted by the class of Bondholders and that contains the provisions set forth in section
3.A below is confirmed and becomes effective. The Opt-In Form shall:

(i) provide for such Bondholder to waive any rights to recovery from Cadiz on account of the Cadiz guaranty of such Bondholder's claim against Sun World (the "Guaranty");

(ii) provide that such Bondholder will permanently refrain from exercising any rights or remedies against Cadiz on account of either the Guaranty or the existence of such Bondholder's claim against Sun World;

(iii) provide that, in the event of a Cadiz bankruptcy, such Bondholder shall affirmatively support any plan or sale transaction proposed by Cadiz whether or not it provides any recovery on account of the Guaranty; and

(iv) provide that any transferee of, or other successor in interest to, such Bondholder's claim will be bound by all provisions of the Opt-In Form and that such Bondholder will condition any transfer of its claim upon the transferee's agreement to be bound by all of the provisions of the Opt-In Form.

C. The Majority Bondholders shall, at Closing, execute the Opt-In Form. In addition, the Majority Bondholders shall, at Closing, (i) execute an

irrevocable instruction to the Indenture Trustee to take no action against Cadiz on behalf of Bondholders or on account of the Guaranty, and (ii) execute a consent to the amendment of the indenture deleting substantially all covenants and other provisions relating to the Guaranty or remedies against Cadiz as guarantor that may be amended pursuant to the terms of the indenture by the Majority Bondholders, subject to any applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act.

3. SUN WORLD PLAN RELEASE

A. If the Initial Settlement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the Closing occurs, any plan of reorganization filed or supported by Sun World and/or the Majority Bondholders shall provide (i) that the consideration to Bondholders contemplated under such plan is in full satisfaction and settlement of all claims of Bondholders under the indenture, including the Guaranty, (ii) that the indenture for the bonds (including the Guaranty thereunder) shall be deemed cancelled and extinguished as of the effective date of the plan, and (iii) for all Bondholders to be deemed to release their Guaranty claims against Cadiz in exchange for the consideration to be distributed to the Bondholder Trust.

B. Sun World and the Majority Bondholders shall each use their respective reasonable efforts in good faith to have the provisions set forth in 3A above approved by the Court as part of any plan.

4. EXTENSION OF PLAN FILING DEADLINE/EXCLUSIVITY

A. The parties consent to Sun World's filing of a motion on shortened notice to be heard by the Court before October 31, 2003 and to the granting of the following relief: (i) modifying the "2003 RETENTION AND SEVERANCE PROGRAM FOR KEY EMPLOYEES" ("Retention Plan") to (x) extend the dates specified in paragraph 2(a) of the Retention Plan by twenty-four days, and (y) change paragraph 2(b) of the Retention Plan to provide as follows:
"Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, no such stay bonus will be payable to key executives in the event that a plan of reorganization is not filed by Sun World with the Bankruptcy Court on or prior to 11/24/03"; and (ii) extending to November 24, 2003 and January 23, 2004, respectively, Sun World's exclusivity periods under Bankruptcy Code sections 1121(b) and 1121(c)(3), provided that if on or before November 24, 2003 Sun World does not file a plan of reorganization that is supported by the Majority Bondholders,

then Sun World's exclusivity periods shall be automatically terminated. In the event that the Court does not approve the relief set forth in clause (ii) above, and Sun World files a plan of reorganization that is not supported by the Majority Bondholders, then upon such filing Sun World shall be deemed to have stipulated with the Majority Bondholders to an automatic termination of Sun World's exclusivity periods and waived the right to seek further extensions of the exclusivity periods. In addition, the parties hereby clarify that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Retention Plan, if (2) the Majority Bondholders file a plan of reorganization that is not subsequently modified in any material respect and is accepted by two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the Bondholders that cast valid votes to accept or reject the plan and is supported by the Official Creditors' Committee (such that if confirmed such plan would be a "Successful Plan of Reorganization," as defined in the Retention Plan), and (ii) Sun World has opposed confirmation of such plan, then such plan shall not be deemed a "Successful Plan of Reorganization" for purposes of the Retention Plan.

B. Counsel for Sun World will circulate a discussion draft of a plan of reorganization to counsel for the Majority Bondholders on or before October 17, 2003.

Accepted and Agreed:

SECTION 9.4 INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT.

SECTION 9.10 AMENDMENTS. This Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Trustee to better give effect to the purposes of this Trust Agreement or Global Settlement upon the written direction of the Majority Noteholders. The terms of the Trust may be amended by the Trustee at any time to the extent necessary to ensure that the Trust will not become subject to the Exchange Act or be subject to taxation for United States federal income tax purposes as other than a liquidating trust under 301.7701-4 of the Treasury Regulations and as a grantor trust of which the Opt-In Noteholders are the grantors and owners. This Trust Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that in any way creates or increases any burden upon, or eliminates or reduces any benefit to, the Debtors or Cadiz without the express written consent of the Debtors or Cadiz, respectively.

WHEREAS, the Initial Settlement is part of a broader, multiparty settlement agreement (the "Global Settlement") by and among the Debtors, Cadiz, Black Diamond Capital Management, L.L.C. on behalf of its affiliates. ("Black Diamond") and CFSC Wayland Advisers, Inc. ("CFSC Wayland") (collectively, the "Majority Noteholders"), who are the holders of not less than 70% in dollar amount of Sun World's senior secured notes due 2004 (in the aggregate, the "Notes;" holders of the Notes are referred to herein as "Noteholders");

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Global Settlement, Cadiz has agreed to, among other things, pledge all its equity interest in Sun World to the Sun World Noteholder Trust (provided that the Sun World Noteholder Trust shall not be permitted to vote such shares to exercise control over Sun World prior to confirmation of a Sun World plan of reorganization or consummation of a sale of substantially all Sun World assets) in order to secure its ongoing obligations under the Global Settlement; and

WHEREAS, the secured lender of Cadiz (the "Cadiz Lender") has reviewed the terms and conditions of the Global Settlement and has expressly consented to and authorized Cadiz to fully perform all its obligations under the Global Settlement.

Pledgor shall furnish to Secured Party from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Pledged Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Pledged Collateral as Secured Party may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(c) Pledgor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file a Record or Records (as defined in the UCC), including, without limitation, financing statements, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as Secured Party may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to Secured Party herein. Such financing statements shall describe the Pledged Collateral in substantially the same manner as described herein.

(d) Pledgor shall, through the compliance of the covenants contained herein and through any other actions that may be necessary or desirable, continuously maintain from the date made the truthfulness and accuracy of every representation, warranty and certification made herein until the termination of this Agreement by its terms.

SECTION 5. SECURED PARTY APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

5.1. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor, Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to prepare, sign and file any UCC financing statements in the name of Pledgor as debtor.

5.2. NO DUTY ON THE PART OF SECURED PARTY. The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect the interests of Secured Party in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 6. REMEDIES.

6.1. GENERALLY. If any breach by Pledgor under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, all as determined by the Secured Party in its sole and absolute discretion, then Secured Party may foreclose upon the Pledged Collateral; provided that such foreclosure remedy shall be sole and exclusive remedy of the Secured Party for a breach of this Agreement, without regard to any other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity, or under the UCC.

6.2. Cash Proceeds. All proceeds of any Pledged Collateral received by Pledgor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, "Cash Proceeds") shall be held by Pledgor in trust for Secured Party, segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Pledgor, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(iii), be turned over to Secured Party in the exact form received by Pledgor (duly indorsed by Pledgor to Secured Party, if required) and held by Secured Party in the Collateral Account.

SECTION 7. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; TRANSFER OF LOANS.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the satisfaction in full of all Secured Obligations, be binding upon Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns; provided, however, that, Pledgor may not transfer, or otherwise assign, any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Secured Party. Upon the satisfaction in full of all Secured Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Upon any such termination Secured Party shall, at Pledgor's expense, execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

SECTION 8. STANDARD OF CARE; SECURED PARTY MAY PERFORM.

The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property. Neither Secured Party nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or otherwise. If Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor.

A. The Sun World Entities are the debtors and debtors in possession in chapter 11 cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases") pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Riverside Division (the "Bankruptcy Court") as case numbers RS-03-11370-DN, RS-03-11369-DN, RS-03- 11371-DN, and RS-03-11374-DN.

In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, the parties acknowledge that they are aware that they may hereafter discover claims presently unknown or unsuspected, or facts in addition to or different from those which they know or believe to be true, with respect to the matters released herein. Nevertheless, it is the intention of the Sun World Entities, the Estates, and Cadiz through this Release, and with the advice of counsel, fully, finally, and forever to settle and release all such matters, and all claims relative thereto, which do now exist, or heretofore have existed between the parties. In furtherance of such intention, the releases herein given shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete release of such matters notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different claims or facts relative thereto.

6. The Sun World Entities, the Estates, and Cadiz hereby represent and warrant to, and agree with, each other as follows:

(a) Each party has received independent legal advice from attorneys of its choice with respect to the advisability of executing this Release and making the settlement and releases provided herein.

(b) Except as expressly stated in this Release, no party has made any statement or representation to any other party regarding any fact relied upon by that party in entering into this Release, and each party specifically does not rely upon any statement, representation, or promise of the other party in entering into this Release or in making the settlement provided for herein, except as expressly stated in this Release.

(c) Each party and its attorneys have made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this Release and all of the matters pertaining thereto as it deems necessary.

(d) This Release has been carefully read by, the contents hereof are known and understood by, and it is signed freely by each person executing this Release.

(e) Each party covenants and agrees not to bring any claim, action, suit, or proceeding against any other party hereto, directly or indirectly, regarding or related in any manner to the matters released hereby, and further covenants and agrees that this Release is a bar to any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding.

7. Each party represents and warrants to each other party that such party has not heretofore assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any person or entity any claims or other matters herein released, except (i) Cadiz previously granted to its lender (the "Cadiz Lender") a security interest in Cadiz's claims against the Sun World Entities and
(ii) effective as of the Closing, the Cadiz Lender consents to this Release on terms approved by Sun World.

8. This Release effects the settlement of claims which are denied and contested, and nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission by any party of any liability or fact or a concession by any party of any question of law.

9. This Release shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, including without limitation any chapter 11 trustee, any chapter 7 trustee, any examiner, and any other representative which may be appointed for any of the Sun World Entities or the Estates.

10. All parties hereto agree to bear their own costs and attorneys' fees regarding this Release.

11. This Release and the other Settlement Documents express the entire agreement of the parties hereto relative to the subject matter hereof. No covenants, agreements, representations, or warranties of any kind whatsoever have been made by any party hereto, except as specifically set forth in this Release or in the other Settlement Documents. All prior discussions and negotiations have been and are merged and integrated into, and are superseded by, this Release and the other Settlement Documents.

12. This Release shall be construed in accordance with, and be governed by, the law of the State of California (without reference to conflict of law provisions) and, to the extent applicable, Federal bankruptcy law. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court to enforce this Release and to adjudicate any disputes which may arise under this Release.

13. This Release may be executed and delivered in two or more counterparts, which may be facsimile copies, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

14. The warranties and representations of this Release are deemed to survive the execution and effectiveness hereof.

EXECUTED THIS __ DAY OF DECEMBER, 2003.
