validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.

                                                                               4


            (b) Authority, Execution and Binding Effect. The execution, delivery
and performance by Heinz of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby are within its corporate powers, and have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of Heinz, and no other corporate act or proceeding
on the part of Heinz is necessary to approve the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the consummation by Heinz of the transactions contemplated hereby.
This Agreement has been validly executed and delivered by Heinz. Assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery by WWI, this Agreement constitutes a valid
and binding agreement of Heinz, enforceable against Heinz in accordance with its
terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement or
creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles.

            (c) No Governmental Consent Required. The execution, delivery and
performance by Heinz of this Agreement require no order, license, consent,
authorization or approval of, or exemption by, or action by or in respect of, or
notice to, or filing or registration with, any governmental body, agency or
official except such as have been obtained or except where the failure to obtain
any such order, license, consent, authorization, approval or exemption or give
any such notice or make any filing or registration would not, in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of Heinz to perform its
obligations hereunder.

            (d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by Heinz will not, with or without the giving of notice or lapse of
time, or both, (i) conflict with the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or
similar constitutive documents of Heinz or (ii) result in the creation of any
encumbrance, lien, mortgage, charge, claim, option, pledge, license, sublicense,
security interest, assignment by way of security, call, proxy or similar
restriction ("Encumbrances") over the Subject Shares or (iii) result in any
breach of any terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or conflict
with any material contract, agreement or instrument to which Heinz is a party or
by which Heinz is bound, except for such breaches, defaults or conflicts which,
individually or in the aggregate, would not be likely to have a material adverse
effect on the financial position, results of operations or business of Heinz, or
(iv) violate any material provision of law, statute, rule or regulation to which
it is subject or any material order, judgment or decree applicable to Heinz.

            (e) Stock Ownership; Title to Shares. All of the Subject Shares are
as of the date hereof and will be on each Put Date or Call Date owned
beneficially and of record by Heinz, free and clear of all Encumbrances. When
WWI acquires the Subject Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
upon payment of the Put Price or the Call Price, as applicable, it will receive
the Subject Shares free and clear of any Encumbrances other than Encumbrances
resulting from acts or omissions of or created by WWI. Heinz has not granted any
option or right, and is not party to any other agreement, and no such option,
right or agreement exists which requires, or which upon the passage of time, the
payment of money or the occurrence of any other event, may require Heinz to
transfer any of the Subject Shares to anyone other than as contemplated by this
Agreement.

            (f) Litigation. There is no claim, cause of action, allegation,
action, suit, proceeding, litigation, arbitration or investigation ("Action")
pending or, to Heinz's knowledge, threatened (i) by or against Heinz or any of
its Affiliates which would be likely to prevent,

transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, at law or in equity, or before or by any federal, state,
municipal, foreign or other governmental department, commission, board, agency,
instrumentality or authority which, if adversely determined, would be likely to

transactions contemplated hereby. There is no order, decree, injunction or
judgment pending or in effect against Heinz or any of its Affiliates which would
be likely to prevent, materially interfere with or materially delay the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

obligated for the payment of any fees, commissions or expenses of any broker,
agent, finder or intermediary retained by Heinz in connection with the
