Notice of each annual meeting shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat, either personally or by first-class mail or other means of written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to such shareholder at the address appearing on the books of the Corporation for such shareholder or given by such shareholder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice. If no such address appears or is given, notice shall be deemed to have been given such shareholder if sent by mail or other means of written communication addressed to the place where the principal executive office of the Corporation is situated, or if published at least once in some newspaper of general circulation in the county in which said office is located.

All such notices shall be delivered personally, or deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication, to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before such annual meeting, and shall specify the place, date and hour of such meeting and those matters which the Board of Directors, at the time of the giving of such notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders, including the names of nominees intended at the time of such notice to be presented by the Board of Directors for election to the Board of Directors.

Section 2.03 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes whatsoever, may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Board of Directors or by one (1) or more shareholders entitled to cast not less than ten percent (10%) of the votes at the meeting. Upon request in writing to the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President or the Secretary by any person, other than the Board of Directors, entitled to call a special meeting of shareholders, such officer shall cause notice to be given forthwith, but in no event later than twenty (20) days after receipt of the request, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, which time shall be not less than thirty-five (35) and not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request. Except in special cases where other express provision is made by statute and as set forth herein, notice of such special meetings shall be given in the same manner as for annual meetings of shareholders. Notices of any special meeting shall specify, in addition to the place, date and hour of such meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted.

Section 2.04 Adjourned Meetings and Notice Thereof. Any shareholders’ meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by a vote of a majority of the shares, the holders of which are either present in person or by proxy thereat, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at any such meeting except as provided in Section 2.07 of this Article.

When any shareholders’ meeting, either annual or special, is adjourned for forty-five (45) days or less, the time and place of the adjourned meeting shall be announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. When any shareholders’ meeting, either annual or special, is adjourned for more than forty-five (45) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting as in the case of an original meeting. Except as aforesaid, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting, and at the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 2.05 Entry of Notice of Delivery. An affidavit executed by the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary or any transfer agent to the effect that any notice or report required to be given to a shareholder by law or these Bylaws was duly given to such shareholder shall be sufficient evidence that such notice or report was duly given to such shareholder. If any notice or report addressed to a shareholder at the address of such shareholder appearing on the books of the Corporation is returned to the Corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice or report to the shareholder at such address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if the same shall be available for the shareholder upon written demand of the shareholder at the principal

executive office of the Corporation for a period of one (1) year from the date of the giving of the notice or report to all other shareholders.

Section 2.06 Voting by Shareholders; Cumulative Voting for Directors. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation and in this Section, at all meetings of shareholders every shareholder entitled to vote shall have the right to vote in person or by proxy the number of shares standing in his or her name on the stock records of the Corporation. Such vote may be given by viva voce or by ballot; provided, however, that all elections for directors shall be by ballot upon demand made by a shareholder at any election and before the voting begins.

At each election of directors of the Corporation, each shareholder entitled to vote shall have the right to cast as many votes as shall equal the number of votes to which his or her shares are normally entitled multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and he or she may cast all of such votes for a single candidate or may distribute them among some or all of the candidates as he or she sees fit. The candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes up to the number of directors to be elected shall be elected; provided, however, that such candidates must satisfy the nomination requirements described in Section 2.12 of these Bylaws.

The affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number is required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, and except as set forth in Section 2.07 of this Article and at elections of directors as set forth in this Section.

Section 2.07 Quorum. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken, other than adjournment, is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

Section 2.08 Consent of Absentees. The proceedings and transactions of any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice, consent to the holding of the meeting or approval of the minutes thereof unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, except for the matters referred to in subparagraphs (a) through (e) of Section 2.02 of this Article. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of and presence at such meeting, except when the person objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a

meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by law to be included in the notice but not so included, if such objection is expressly made at the meeting.

Section 2.09 Action Without Meeting. Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if authorized by a written consent setting forth the action so taken, signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation; provided, however, that directors may not be elected by written consent except by unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors, except that a vacancy on the Board of Directors (other than a vacancy created by removal of a director) not filled by the Board of Directors may be filled by the written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Any shareholder giving a written consent, such shareholder’s proxyholders, a transferee of the shares or a personal representative of such shareholder or their respective proxyholders, may revoke any such consent by a writing received by the Corporation prior to the time that written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, but may not do so thereafter. Such revocation shall be effective upon its receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation.

Unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been solicited in writing and have been received, prompt notice shall be given, in the same manner as for annual meetings of shareholders except as set forth in this Section, to those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing, of the taking of any corporate action approved by shareholders without a meeting. Such notice shall be given at least ten (10) days before the consummation of the action authorized by such approval with respect to the following:

(a) Approval of any transaction referred to in subparagraph (a), (c) or (e) of Section 2.02 of this Article; or

(b) Approval required by law of the indemnification of any person.

Section 2.10 Proxies. Every person entitled to vote or execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person or by an agent or agents authorized by a written proxy executed by such person or his or her duly authorized agent; provided, however, that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

Section 2.11 Districts. For purposes of administering the Corporation, the Board of Directors may divide the territory in which the Corporation has shareholders into two (2) or more districts. The number of such districts may correspond to the authorized number of directors of the Corporation. The boundaries and number of the districts shall be determined by the Board of Directors, which shall have authority to revise and redefine the number and boundaries of the districts from time to time. If the Board of Directors establishes such districts, it shall assign each shareholder to a district based upon the district in which the shareholder (if a grower) has the largest acreage or production and on other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors may establish policies and procedures for informational meetings of the members of the various districts that shall be held from time to time. However, any such meetings are not intended to function as a substitute for the annual and special meetings of the Corporation’s shareholders that are discussed in these Bylaws. Furthermore, voting for directors shall not be conducted on a district basis but shall instead be conducted in the manner described in the preceding sections of this Article II. In each such election, each shareholder shall be entitled to cast votes for the number of directors that are to be elected and shall not be limited to voting only for directors from his or her district.

The determinations of the Board of Directors on all matters relating to the Corporation’s districts shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

Section 2.12 Advance Notice of Shareholder Business and Nominations.

(a) Annual Meetings of Shareholders.

(i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders only (1) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (2) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, or (3) by any shareholder of the Corporation who was a shareholder of record of the Corporation at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.12 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.12.

(ii) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of shareholders by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation and any such proposed business must constitute a proper matter for shareholder action under applicable law. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth day, nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty days before or more than sixty days after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation). In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of shareholders commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above. To be in proper written form, a shareholder’s notice to the Secretary (whether pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii) or Section 2.12(b)) must set forth:

(1) as to each person, if any, whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (A) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

(the “Exchange Act”), and (B) such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected;

(2) if the notice relates to any business (other than the nomination of persons for election as directors) that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, (B) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), (C) the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, and (D) any material interest in such business of such shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and

(3) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (A) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (B) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and by such beneficial owner, (C) any derivative positions with respect to shares of capital stock of the Corporation held or beneficially held by or on behalf of such shareholder and by or on behalf of such beneficial owner, the extent to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions has been entered into with respect to the shares of capital stock of the Corporation by or on behalf of such shareholder and by or on behalf of such beneficial owner, and the extent to which any other agreement, arrangement or understanding has been made, the effect or intent of which is to increase or decrease the voting power of such shareholder and such beneficial owner with respect to shares of capital stock of the Corporation, (D) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination, and (E) a representation as to whether the shareholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group that intends (aa) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee or (bb) otherwise to solicit proxies from shareholders in support of such proposal or nomination.

The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine (x) the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation and (y) whether such nominee qualifies as an “independent director” or “audit committee financial expert” under applicable law, securities exchange rule or regulation, or any publicly-disclosed corporate governance guideline or committee charter of the Corporation.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.12 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least one hundred days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a shareholder’s notice required by this Section 2.12 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(b) Special Meetings of Shareholders.

Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof or (ii) provided that the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any shareholder of the Corporation who is a shareholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.12 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.12. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such shareholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the shareholder’s notice in the same form as required by paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.12 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.

(i) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.12 shall be eligible to be elected at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.12. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty (1) to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.12 and (2) if any proposed nomination or business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 2.12, to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, unless otherwise required by law, if the shareholder (or a qualified representative of the shareholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to present a nomination or proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be considered, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.12, to be considered a qualified representative of the shareholder, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such shareholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such shareholder to act for such shareholder as proxy at the meeting of shareholders and such person must produce

such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of shareholders.

(ii) For purposes of this Section 2.12, “public announcement” shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press, or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(iii) Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to affect any rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals or nominations in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the Exchange Act (and any proposal included in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to such Rule shall not be subject to any of the advance notice requirements in this Section 2.12).

ARTICLE III — DIRECTORS

Section 3.01 Powers; Committees of Directors, Including Executive Committee and Nominating Committee. Subject to limitations of the Articles of Incorporation, of these Bylaws and of the California General Corporation Law as to action to be authorized or approved by the shareholders or by the outstanding shares, and subject to the duties of directors as prescribed by these Bylaws, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. Without prejudice to such general powers, but subject to the same limitations, it is hereby expressly declared that the directors shall have the following powers:

(a) To select and remove all officers, agents and employees of the Corporation, prescribe such powers and duties for them as may not be inconsistent with law, with the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, fix their compensation and require from them security for faithful service;

(b) To conduct, manage and control the affairs and business of the Corporation, and to make such rules and regulations therefor not inconsistent with law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, as they may deem best;

(c) To change the principal office for the transaction of the business of the Corporation from one location to another within or without the State of California, as provided in Section 1.01 of Article I; to fix and locate from time to time one (1) or more branch or subsidiary offices of the Corporation within or without the State of California, as provided in Section 1.02 of Article I; to designate any place within or without the State of California for the holding of any shareholders’ meetings; and to adopt, make and use a corporate seal, to prescribe the form of certificates of stock and to alter the form of such seal and of such stock certificates from time to time as in their judgment they may deem best, provided such seal and such certificates shall at all times comply with the provisions of law;

(d) To authorize the issue of stock of the Corporation from time to time, upon such terms as may be lawful, in consideration of money paid, labor done, services actually rendered to the Corporation or for its benefit or in its formation or reorganization, debts or securities cancelled, tangible or intangible property actually received either by the Corporation or by a wholly-owned subsidiary, or as a share dividend, or upon a stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or

conversion of outstanding shares into shares of another class, exchange of outstanding shares for shares of another class, or other change affecting outstanding shares;

(e) To borrow money and incur indebtedness for the purposes of the Corporation and to cause to be executed and delivered therefor, in the corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages, pledges, hypothecations or other evidences of debt and security therefor; and

(f) To designate one (1) or more committees and to appoint members and alternate members therefor, by resolution adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors, each committee consisting of two (2) or more directors and any alternate directors as may be designated to replace any absent members at any meeting thereof, to serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors and to delegate to any such committee any of the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, except the following powers: to approve any action which by law or by these Bylaws also requires shareholders’ approval or approval of the outstanding shares, to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, to fix the compensation of directors for serving on the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, to amend or repeal bylaws or adopt new bylaws, to amend or repeal any resolution of the Board of Directors which by its express terms is not so amendable or repealable, to authorize a distribution to the shareholders of the Corporation (other than a dividend in shares of the Corporation) except at a rate or in a periodic amount or within a price range determined by the Board of Directors or to appoint other committees of the Board of Directors or the members thereof.

Without limiting the generality of the preceding paragraph:

There shall be an Executive Committee consisting of the Corporation’s Chairman of the Board and four (4) other directors who shall be appointed by a majority of the authorized number of directors. The Executive Committee shall have all of the functions and powers of the Board of Directors that are delegated to it by the Board of Directors except as otherwise provided by law and subject to the direction and control of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors may also appoint a Nominating Committee, which shall consist of two (2) or more directors, to assist it in the identification and nomination of candidates for election as directors. The Nominating Committee shall have the functions and powers that are delegated to it from time to time by the Board of Directors, although it shall remain subject to the direction and control of the Board of Directors. With the assistance of any such Nominating Committee that is appointed, the Board of Directors shall establish such rules and procedures for its selection of director nominees as it deems appropriate. Among other things, the Board of Directors shall have discretion to nominate a candidate from each district that is described in Section 2.11 of these Bylaws, although it shall not be obligated to follow such nomination procedure.

Section 3.02 Number of Directors. The authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall be not less than eight (8) nor more than fifteen (15), and the exact number of directors within such limits shall be ten (10) unless and until such exact number is changed from time to time, within such specified limits, by a resolution which is duly adopted by the Board of Directors or by the shareholders. The minimum and maximum number of directors may be changed, or the Corporation may implement a board structure that specifies a fixed number of directors without minimum and maximum numbers, by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or by a bylaw

amending this Section of these Bylaws duly adopted by the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote; provided, however, that no such amendment reducing the number of directors to a number less than five (5) shall be adopted if the votes cast against its adoption at a meeting, or the shares not consenting thereto in the case of action by written consent, are equal to more than sixteen and two-thirds percent (16 2/3%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

Section 3.03 Election and Term of Office; Removal of Directors. The directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the shareholders, but if any such annual meeting is not held or the directors are not elected thereat, the directors may be elected at any special meeting of the shareholders held for that purpose. Each director shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal from office.

As provided in Section 302 of the California Corporations Code, the Board of Directors may declare vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or convicted of a felony. As provided in Section 304 of the California Corporations Code, the superior court of the proper county may, at the suit of shareholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the number of outstanding shares of any class, remove from office any director in case of fraudulent or dishonest acts or gross abuse of authority or discretion with reference to the Corporation and may bar from reelection any director so removed for a period prescribed by the court.

Any or all of the directors may be removed from office without cause by the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. However, no director may be removed from office (unless the entire Board of Directors is removed) when the votes cast against such director’s removal, or not consenting in writing to the removal, would be sufficient to elect that director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast (or, if the action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted) and the entire number of directors authorized at the time of such director’s most recent election were then being elected. The removal of a director without cause shall be subject to any other applicable limitations that are set forth in Section 303 of the California Corporations Code.

Section 3.04 Vacancies. Vacancies in the Board of Directors, other than those created by the removal of a director, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and each director so elected shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders or until his or her death, resignation or removal from office.

A vacancy or vacancies in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist when any authorized position of director is not filled by a duly elected and acting director, whether caused by the death, resignation or removal of any director, increase in the authorized number of directors, failure of the shareholders, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which any director or directors are elected, to elect the full authorized number of directors to be voted for at that meeting or otherwise.

The shareholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies created by the removal of a director or not filled by the directors. Any such election by written consent other than to fill a vacancy created by removal (which shall require the unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors) shall require the written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. If the resignation of a director is given to take effect at a future time, the Board of Directors or the shareholders shall have power to elect a successor to take office when the resignation is to become effective.

No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of his or her term of office.

Section 3.05 Place of Meeting. Meetings of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof shall be held at any place within or without the State of California which has been designated in the notice of the meeting or, if not stated in the notice or there is no notice, from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be. In the absence of such designation, meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation.

Section 3.06 Organizational Meeting. Immediately following each annual meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors shall hold a regular meeting for the purpose of organization, election of officers and the transaction of other business. Notice of such meetings is hereby dispensed with.

Section 3.07 Other Regular Meetings. Other regular meetings of the Board of Directors and regular meetings of committees of the Board of Directors shall be held without call on such dates as may be fixed by the Board of Directors or the committee, as the case may be. Notice of all such regular meetings of the Board of Directors and committees thereof is hereby dispensed with.

Section 3.08 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, by the President, by any Vice President, by the Secretary or by any two (2) or more directors. Special meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the President, by the Chairman or by any vice-chairman of the committee, by the Secretary or by any two (2) or more members of the committee.

Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered personally to all directors or committee members as the case may be, either in writing or orally or by telephone, or shall be sent to each such director by first-class mail, facsimile, telegram or other electronic or voice mail message, charges prepaid, addressed to him or her at his or her address as it is shown upon the records of the Corporation or, if it is not shown on such records or is not readily ascertainable, at the place in which the meetings of the directors are regularly held. In case such notice is mailed, it shall be deposited with the United States Postal Service in the place where the principal office of the Corporation is located at least four (4) days prior to the time of the holding of the meeting. In case such notice is delivered by facsimile, telegram or other electronic or voice mail message or personally as above provided, it shall be delivered at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the time of the holding of the meeting.

Section 3.09 Notice of Adjournment. Unless a directors’ or committee meeting has been adjourned for more than twenty-four (24) hours, notice of the time and place of holding an adjourned meeting need not be given to absent directors or committee members if the time and place be fixed at the meeting adjourned. If the meeting has been adjourned for more than twenty-four (24) hours, notice of such adjournment and the time and place of the adjourned meeting shall be given prior to the time of the adjourned meeting to all directors or committee members who were not present at the time of the adjournment, in the same manner as provided in Section 3.08 of this Article for special meetings of the Board of Directors or committee thereof.

Whenever any director has been absent from any special meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof, an affidavit executed by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary to the effect that notice has been duly given as required by law and these Bylaws shall be sufficient evidence that due notice of such special meeting was given to such director.

Section 3.11 Waiver of Notice. The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof, however called and noticed and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors or committee members not present, and each director or committee member who is present but did not receive due notice thereof and protests such lack of notice prior to such meeting or at its commencement, signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. Such waiver of notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

Section 3.12 Quorum. A majority of the authorized number of directors on the Board of Directors or any committee thereof shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by such Board or committee, as the case may be. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors or committee members, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting. Subject to the foregoing sentence of this Section, every act or decision done or made by a majority of the directors or committee members present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board of Directors or committee thereof, as the case may be, unless a greater number is required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Such action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of such directors or committee members.

Section 3.15 Fees and Compensation. Directors shall not receive any stated salary for their services as directors but, by resolution of the Board of Directors, a fixed fee, with or without expenses of attending, may be allowed for attendance at each meeting.

The record date so fixed shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action, for which it is fixed. When a record date is so fixed, only shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting, or to receive such dividend, distribution or allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Corporation after the record date, except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by agreement or by law. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, but the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five (45) days from the date set for the original meeting.

Section 5.02 Inspection of Corporate Records. The record of shareholders, the accounting books and records, and minutes of proceedings of the shareholders, the Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors, shall be open to inspection in written form upon the written demand of any shareholder or holder of a voting trust certificate, at any time during usual business hours, for a purpose reasonably related to his or her interests as a shareholder or holder of a voting trust certificate. Such inspection may be made in person or by an agent or attorney and shall include the right to copy and make extracts. Demand of inspection shall be made in writing upon the President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation. The rights of inspection described in this paragraph shall extend to the records of each subsidiary of the Corporation.

A shareholder or shareholders holding at least five percent (5%) in the aggregate of the outstanding voting shares of the Corporation or holding at least one percent (1%) of those voting shares and having filed a Schedule 14A with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission shall have an absolute right to do either or both of the following: (i) inspect and copy the record of shareholders’ names and addresses and shareholdings during usual business hours upon five (5) business days’ prior written demand upon the Corporation, or (ii) obtain from the transfer agent for the Corporation, if any, upon written demand and upon the tender of its usual charges for such a list (the amount of which charges shall be stated to the shareholder by the transfer agent upon request), a list of the names and addresses of the shareholders who are entitled to vote for the election of directors, and their shareholdings, as of the most recent record date for which it has been compiled or as of a date specified by the shareholder subsequent to the date of demand.

The requirement of Section 1501 of the California Corporations Code that the Board of Directors shall cause the annual report to be sent to the shareholders not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of the Corporation’s fiscal year and at least fifteen (15) days prior to the annual meeting of shareholders is hereby expressly waived until such time as the Corporation has one hundred (100) or more holders of record of its shares.

A shareholder or shareholders holding at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of any class of the Corporation may make a written request to the Corporation for an income statement of the Corporation for the three-month, six-month or nine-month period of the current fiscal year ended more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the request and a balance sheet of the Corporation as of the end of such period and, in addition, if no annual report for the last fiscal year has been sent to shareholders, such annual report, accompanied by the report thereon, if any, of

any independent accountants engaged by the Corporation or the certificate of an authorized officer of the Corporation that such financial statements were prepared without audit from the books and records of the Corporation. The annual report or statements so requested shall be delivered or mailed to the person making the request within thirty (30) days thereafter.

Section 5.06 Execution of Documents. The Board of Directors, except as these Bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation otherwise provide, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances; and unless so authorized by the Board of Directors, no officer, agent, or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the Corporation by any contract or agreement or to pledge its credit to render it liable for any purpose or to any amount.

Section 5.07 Certificates of Stock. A certificate or certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be issued to each shareholder when any such shares are fully paid. All such certificates shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board or the President or a Vice President, and by the Chief Financial Officer or an Assistant Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or shall be authenticated by facsimiles of such signatures.

Certificates for shares may be issued prior to full payment thereof, under such restrictions and for such purposes as the Board of Directors or these Bylaws may provide; provided, however, that any such certificates so issued prior to full payment shall state the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon, and such statement shall be conspicuous.

There shall also appear on each certificate, to the extent applicable, statements: that the shares represented thereby are subject to restrictions upon transfer, to an irrevocable proxy under Section 705(e) of the California Corporations Code, or to restrictions upon voting rights contractually imposed by the Corporation; that such shares are redeemable or assessable or subject to conversion and the period for conversion, and any such statement that such shares are subject to restrictions upon transfer or are assessable shall be conspicuous. If the shares of the Corporation are classified or if any class of shares has two (2) or more series, there shall also appear on each certificate the office or agency of the Corporation from which shareholders may obtain, upon request and without charge, a statement of the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon each class or series of shares authorized to be issued and upon the holders thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.07, the Board of Directors is entitled to elect to cause the Corporation to adopt a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of its shares by electronic or other means not involving any issuance of certificates, subject, however, to compliance with Section 416 of the California Corporations Code and other applicable law regarding such system.

Section 5.08 Representation of Shares of Other Corporations. Subject to the instructions and control of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, acting jointly, are authorized to vote, represent and exercise on behalf of the Corporation all rights incident to any and all shares of any other corporation or corporations standing in the name of the Corporation. The authority herein granted to said officers to vote or represent on behalf of the Corporation any and all shares held by the Corporation in any other corporation or corporations may be exercised either by such officers in person or by any person authorized so to do by proxy or power of attorney duly executed by said officers.

Section 5.09 Inspection of Bylaws. The Corporation shall keep in its principal executive office in the State of California, or if there be no such office at its principal business office in such State, the original or a copy of these Bylaws as amended to date, which shall be open to inspection by the shareholders at all reasonable times during office hours. If the principal executive office is outside such State and the Corporation has no principal business office in such State, the Corporation shall upon the written request of any shareholder, made in writing upon the President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, furnish to such shareholder a copy of these Bylaws as amended to date.

Section 5.10 Lost, Stolen, Destroyed, or Mutilated Certificates. If the holder of any shares of the Corporation’s stock alleges that the certificate evidencing such shares has been lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, the Corporation may issue to the holder a new certificate for such shares upon the surrender of the mutilated certificate or, in the case of the loss, theft, or destruction of the certificate, upon satisfactory proof of such loss, theft, or destruction, including an affidavit from the holder attesting to such loss, theft, or destruction of the certificate, and upon such other terms as the Board of Directors may specify in its sole discretion. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, condition the issuance of a replacement certificate upon the holder’s delivery of (a) a satisfactory bond, in such sum and with such surety as the Board of Directors may specify, to protect the Corporation and its transfer agent against any claim that may be made (and liabilities and expenses that may be incurred) on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of the certificate or the issuance of the replacement certificate and/or (b) a satisfactory indemnification agreement executed by the holder and indemnifying the Corporation and/or its transfer agent against any claim that may be made (and liabilities and expenses that may be incurred) on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of the certificate or the issuance of the replacement certificate. A replacement certificate may be issued without requiring a surety bond or an indemnification agreement when, in the sole judgment of the Board of Directors, it is appropriate to do so.

ARTICLE VI – RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS ON STOCK CERTIFICATES

Section 6.01 Restrictive Legends on stock Certificates. If deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board of Directors, a legend to the following effect (in addition to any other legends required by applicable federal or state securities laws) shall be placed (i) on certificates that represent shares of the Corporation’s stock that are beneficially owned by the Corporation’s directors and executive officers and by any other shareholders that the Board of Directors determines are or may be “affiliates” of the Corporation within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933,

as amended, and (ii) on certificates that represent shares of the Corporation’s stock that are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

“THE SHARES THAT ARE REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER IS REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING SUCH SHARES OR UNLESS THE CORPORATION RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT REQUIRED.”

For purposes of this Article VII, a “director” includes any person who is or was a director of the Corporation.

Section 7.02 Indemnification of Officers, Employees and Other Agents. In addition to the indemnification that is required to be provided to directors of the Corporation under Section 7.01 of this Article, the Corporation shall have the power, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law, to indemnify each of its officers, employees and other agents against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, employee or other agent of the Corporation. For purposes of this Article VII, an “employee,” “officer” or “agent” of the Corporation includes any person (i) who is or was an officer, employee or other agent of the Corporation, (ii) who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or other agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (iii) who was an officer, employee or other agent of Calavo Growers of California or of another enterprise at the request of Calavo Growers of California.

Section 7.03 Advance of Expenses. Attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced by the Corporation prior to the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized or provided by this Article VII.

Section 7.04 Indemnification Not Exclusive. The indemnification authorized or provided by this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The rights to indemnification hereunder shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

Section 7.05 Insurance. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by such person in such capacity or arising out of that person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify that person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.

Section 7.06 Conflicts. No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Article VII, except where such indemnification or advance is mandated by law or the order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, in any circumstance where it appears:

(a) That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, a resolution of the shareholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

(b) That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

Section 7.07 Indemnification Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, the Corporation is authorized to enter into a contract with any director, officer, employee or other agent of the Corporation (or with any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or other agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, or any person who was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the Corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation) which provides for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the Board of Directors so determines and to the extent permitted by applicable law, greater than those provided for in this Article VII.

Section 7.08 Amendment, Repeal or Modification.
