E.             The Company and Bruckmann, Rosser, Sherrill & Co., Inc. (“BRSI”) are parties to the Amended and Restated Transaction Services Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2004 (the “Transaction Services Agreement”).

F.             Concurrent with the Company’s initial public offering of its Enhanced Income Securities in October 2004, B&G Foods Holdings Corp. merged with and into the Company, with the Company as survivor of such merger.

G.            The Company and the Holders desire to terminate the Securities Holders Agreement.

H.            The Company and BRSI desire to terminate the Transaction Services Agreement.

I.              The Holders who have requested that the Company repurchase the Purchase Shares from such Holders (each, a “Selling Holder” and collectively, the “Selling Holders”) desire to sell their Purchase Shares to the Company and the Company desires to purchase such Purchase Shares from such Selling Holders upon the terms and conditions specified herein.

J.             The Holders who have requested that the Company exchange the Exchange Shares into shares of Class A common stock (each, an “Exchanging Holder” and collectively, the “Exchanging Holders”) desire to exchange their Exchange Shares for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock and the Company desires to exchange an equal number of shares of Class A common stock for the Exchange Shares upon the terms and conditions specified herein.

Terms

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.             Purchase and Sale of the Purchase Shares.  Each Selling Holder agrees to sell to the Company, and the Company agrees to purchase from each Selling Holder, such Selling Holder’s Purchase Shares for an aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of the number of Purchase Shares set forth on Schedule A multiplied by the dollar amount included in the “Per Share” row and the “Proceeds to B&G Foods” column in the table on the front cover of the final prospectus supplement to be filed in connection with the Offering (the “Prospectus Supplement”).

2.             Exchange of the Exchange Shares. 

a.             Each Exchanging Holder agrees to surrender to the Company its Exchange Shares, and the Company agrees to provide to such Exchanging Holder the number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the Exchange Shares surrendered.

b.             Each Exchanging Holder agrees to enter into a lock-up agreement with the underwriters as described in the Prospectus Supplement substantially in the form provided to such Exchanging Holder prior to the date hereof (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) whereby such Exchanging Holder will agree not to directly or indirectly, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Class A common stock for a period of 180 days from the date of the Prospectus Supplement.

3.             Closing.  The purchase and sale of the Purchase Shares and the exchange of the Exchange Shares for an equal number shares of Class A common stock (the “Closing”) as well as the payment of all amounts described in Section 1 hereof shall occur and shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously in all respects and shall take place on the date of the consummation of the Offering (the “Closing Date”), unless another date is agreed to by the parties hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the dollar amount in the “Per Share” row and the “Price to Public” column in the table on the front cover of the Prospectus Supplement (the “Offering Price”) is less than $12.00, no party to this Agreement shall be obligated to consummate the sale or exchange transactions set forth in this Agreement.
