<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:24.5pt'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As of December 9, 2004,
National Beef Packing Company, LLC (&quot;NBP&quot;) entered into an additional aircraft
lease agreement under which a business jet aircraft is leased from John R.
Miller Enterprises, L.L.C., a Utah limited liability company of which John R.
Miller, our Chief Executive Officer, is the beneficial owner. The term of the
lease is 72 months. This aircraft replaces the aircraft leased from John R.
Miller Enterprises, L.L.C. in March 2001.&nbsp; See &quot;Item 13. Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions&quot; in NBP's Form 10-K for the year ended August 28, 2004
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.&nbsp; The base monthly lease
payments will range from $35,400 in the first year of the lease to $45,380 in
the fourth year of the lease and thereafter, and are adjusted quarterly based
on the change in the three month LIBOR interest rate.&nbsp; NBP will also fund an
engine reserve account, used to finance overhauls on the aircraft's engines,
based on its proportionate usage of the aircraft.&nbsp; NBP believes that the terms
of this aircraft lease are at least as favorable to NBP as it could have
obtained from unaffiliated third parties.&nbsp; </p>
