AMENDMENT NO. 1
     THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the OPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of June 15, 2006 between the parties hereto, is made as of November 20, 2006 between LIFECORE BIOMEDICAL, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), and Martin J.

     WHEREAS, on November 16, 2006, the Board of Directors amended the Plan to provide that the initial grant of options to new directors would be reduced from 10,000 options to 7,500 options and that such amount would then be prorated to reflect the number of months remaining in the year during which such new director was appointed to the Board; and
     WHEREAS, in light of these amendments to the Plan, the Optionee desires to amend the Agreement to reduce and prorate the option granted under the Agreement so that it reflects these amendments to the Plan as if they had been adopted prior to the execution of the Agreement; and

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Optionee have executed this Amendment as of the day and year first above written.
