COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

BOARD AND COMMITTEE FEES. Effective March 19, 2002, each director who
is not an employee of Chiquita will receive an annual fee of $50,000, payable
quarterly in arrears. Each quarterly payment will consist of $6,250 in cash and
a number of shares of Chiquita's Common Stock having an aggregate fair market
value of $6,250. Such fair market value will be based on the average of the high
and low sales prices of Chiquita's Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange
Composite Tape on the last trading day of each calendar quarter. In addition,
the Chairman of the Audit Committee will receive an annual fee of $20,000 in
cash and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee will receive an annual fee
of $10,000 in cash.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN. Directors may defer from 10% to 100% of
their Board compensation pursuant to Chiquita's Deferred Compensation Plan for
Directors. Amounts may be deferred under this plan for a term of 5 years, 10
years, or until death, disability or retirement. Deferred amounts earn interest
at rates established at the time of deferral, which vary depending upon the
deferral term. None of Chiquita's directors participated in this Deferred
Compensation Plan during 2001.

RETENTION ARRANGEMENTS

As can be the case with many public corporations, apprehensions about
the possibility of a change in control of the Company may result in the
departure or distraction of key executives to the Company's

- 6 -

10-K/A 7th Page of 12 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 7th
detriment. Accordingly, in order to encourage their retention and continued
dedication, in January 2001 Chiquita entered into severance agreements with a
number of key executives, including Messrs. Kistinger, Olson, Riley and
Horekens. The agreements with these Named Executive Officers (the "CIC
Agreements") entitle them to certain benefits in the event that they were
involuntarily terminated without cause or resigned for "good reason" within
three years after the occurrence of a "change in control" of Chiquita.

If such an involuntary termination or resignation for "good reason"
occurred within two years after a "change in control," Mr. Kistinger would be
entitled to a payment equal to 3.0 times his then current annual salary and
annual bonus target ("Annual Compensation"); Mr. Olson, 3.0 times his Annual
Compensation; Mr. Riley, 2.25 times his Annual Compensation; and Mr. Horekens,
2.25 times his Annual Compensation. If such a termination or resignation
occurred during the third year after a "change in control," the severance
payment for each of these executives would be 1.0 times his Annual Compensation.
In each case, these executives would also receive the following severance
benefits: (i) pro rata annual bonus for the year employment terminates; (ii)
immediate vesting of outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards and
employer contributions under the Company's Savings and Investment Plan and
Capital Accumulation Plan; (iii) continued medical, life, disability and
accident insurance at the Company's expense for a number of years equivalent to
the multiple used (3.0 or 2.25) in calculating the executive's severance
payment; and (iv) if severance benefits exceed the maximum amount payable
without incurring excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code by
10% or more, the Company's payment of the excise tax plus any additional taxes
resulting from the payment (if the benefits exceed the maximum by less than 10%,
the benefits would be reduced to the maximum amount).

The definition of "change in control" under the CIC Agreements is:

A (i) any person or other entity, or any "group" (other than
American Financial Group, Inc., each of its subsidiaries and
affiliates, Carl H. Lindner, his spouse, his children and
their spouses and his grandchildren (or the legal
representative of any such person) and each trust for the
benefit of each such person ["Exempt Holders"]), acquires or
possesses beneficial ownership of 20% or more of Chiquita's
voting securities (unless the percentage beneficially owned by
such person, entity or group is less than the combined
percentage beneficially owned by Exempt Holders) and (ii) a
"management change" occurs in connection therewith or within
twelve months thereafter; or

B (i) the voting securities of Chiquita outstanding immediately
prior to a merger, sale of assets or similar transaction
involving Chiquita or any subsidiary do not, immediately after
the transaction, represent, directly or indirectly, 50% or more
of the total voting power of the voting securities of the
surviving or acquiring entity or the parent of the surviving or
acquiring entity and (ii) a "management change" occurs in
connection therewith or within twelve months thereafter; or

C at any time, less than a majority of Chiquita's Board of
Directors consists of persons (i) who were directors at November
15, 2000 ("Current Directors") or (ii) whose election or
nomination as directors was approved by at least 2/3 of the
directors then in office who are Current Directors or whose
election or nomination was previously so approved (other than in
settlement of a proxy contest). (The appointment of new
directors pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization as of March 19,
2002 did not constitute a "change in control" because such new
directors were approved by the then Current Directors prior to
March 19, 2002.)

The definition of "management change" under the CIC Agreements is: (i)
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or if the Company has been acquired,
the acquiror) is no longer Carl H. Lindner, Keith E.

- 7 -

10-K/A 8th Page of 12 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 8th
Lindner or Steven G. Warshaw, or (ii) less than 50% of the "executive officers"
(as defined in Securities Exchange Act rules) of the Company (or such an
acquiror) are at any time either (A) persons who were "executive officers"
immediately prior to the first public announcement of the event that would, in
the absence of a "management change," give rise to a "change in control" or (B)
persons who were employees of the Company or one of its subsidiaries immediately
prior to such first public announcement whose designation as an "executive
officer" was approved or recommended by one of such three individuals in his
capacity as Chief Executive Officer. (As a result of Mr. Warshaw's resignation
as Chief Executive Officer on March 20, 2002, a "management change" has occurred
by virtue of clause (i) above. Therefore, assuming this "management change"
continues beyond the time of the occurrence of an event or transaction specified
in clause A(i) or B(i) of the definition of "change in control," a "change in
control" will automatically result.)

The definition of "good reason" under the CIC Agreements is: (i) a
reduction in the executive's annual salary or target bonus opportunity or
unreasonable discrimination in other aspects of his compensation; (ii) a
required relocation outside a 50-mile radius; (iii) a material breach of the CIC
Agreement by the Company; or (iv) in the case of Messrs. Kistinger and Olson,
either (A) an adverse change in title or material reduction in responsibilities
or (B) a voluntary resignation for any reason during the four-month period
following the end of a six-month transition period after a "change in control,"
provided the executive has given at least four months' prior notice of his
resignation.

In connection with his resignation as President and Chief Executive
Officer of Chiquita on March 20, 2002, Mr. Warshaw received a payment of
$4,025,000, representing the severance payment he would have received under
his Severance Agreement (Prior to Change in Control) with the Company dated
February 14, 2001 if his employment had been terminated without cause as of June
30, 2002. He also became entitled to all the other benefits provided for in his
Severance Agreement (Prior to Change in Control). In addition, an award to Mr.
Warshaw of 100,000 shares of Company Common Stock made by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors to Mr. Warshaw on February 21, 2002 became
deliverable upon the termination of his employment in accordance with the terms
of the award.

(1) "Beneficial ownership" is a technical term broadly defined by the SEC to
mean more than ownership in the usual sense. Shares are "beneficially
owned" if a person has or shares the power (a) to vote them or direct
their vote or (b) to sell them or direct their sale, even if the person
has no pecuniary interest in the shares. Also, shares which a person has
the right to acquire within 60 days are considered to be "beneficially
owned."

(2) Includes 171,134 shares owned by AFG and 2,852,384 shares that AFG has the
right to acquire upon exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock at
$19.23 per share ("Warrants"). Also includes 141,375 shares owned by Carl
H. Lindner and 250,859 shares that he has the right to acquire upon
exercise of Warrants. Does not include 800,000 shares issuable to Mr.
Lindner pursuant to a delayed delivery agreement with Chiquita. The
Lindner family members listed in the table above are considered to be the
beneficial owners of the Chiquita shares owned by AFG. The percentage set
forth is based on 39,065,950 shares outstanding at March 31, 2002, plus
the 3,103,243 which would be outstanding upon the exercise of the Warrants
held by AFG and Carl H. Lindner described above.

(3) In a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on March 26, 2002, OZ Management,
L.L.C. and OZF Management, L.P. reported that the shares listed are owned
by discretionary accounts and investment entities for which they serve as
investment managers with sole voting and dispositive authority. OZ
Management and OZF Management disclaim beneficial ownership of such
shares.

The following table shows the number of shares of Chiquita Common Stock
beneficially owned on March 31, 2002 by each director and Named Executive
Officer and by all directors and executive officers as a group.

Financial Resources, Inc., an AFG subsidiary, for use of Chiquita's cafeteria.

During 2001, Chiquita paid approximately $101,000 to American Money
