WHEREAS, immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering, B&G will be merged with and into Holdings and Holdings will be renamed B&G Foods, Inc.

WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain BRS to provide business and organizational strategy, financial and investment management, and merchant and investment banking services to the Company, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and BRS is willing to undertake such obligations;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1.             Amendment and Restatement.  Each party hereto agrees that effective upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering the Existing Transaction Services Agreement shall be amended and restated and replaced in its entirety with this Agreement provided that such closing occurs not later than June 30, 2004.

2.             Appointment.  The Company hereby engages BRS, and BRS hereby agrees under the terms and conditions set forth herein, to provide certain services to the Company as described in Section 4 hereof.

3.             Term.  The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue until the tenth anniversary of this Agreement (the “Term”), provided, however, that the Term shall be automatically extended for successive one-year periods unless either the Company or BRS shall give written notice to the other at least ninety (90) days prior thereto that the Term shall not be so extended.

4.             Duties of BRS.  BRS shall provide the Company with business, management, financial, merchant and investment banking and strategic and corporate advisory services (collectively, the “Services”) in connection with any acquisition, divestiture, financing or other transaction (each, a “Transaction”) in which the Company or its subsidiaries may be, or may consider becoming, involved.  The Services will be provided at such times and places as may reasonably be determined by BRS.

4.1.          Exclusions from “Services”.  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the following services are specifically excluded from the definition of “Services”:

(i)            Independent Accounting Services.  Accounting Services rendered to the Company or BRS, with prior notice and consultation with the Company’s management, by an independent accounting firm or accountant (i.e., an accountant who is not an employee of BRS);

(ii)           Legal Services.  Legal services rendered to the Company, or BRS with prior notice and consultation with the Company’s management, by an independent law firm or attorney (i.e., an attorney who is not an employee of BRS); and

(iii)          Management Services.  Management and other business and organizational strategy, financial and investment management, and merchant and investment banking services.

5.             Power of BRS.  So that it may properly perform its duties hereunder, BRS shall, subject to Section 8 hereof, have the authority and power to do all things necessary and proper to carry out the duties set forth in Section 4.

6.             Compensation.  As consideration payable to BRS or any of its affiliates for providing the Services to the Company, the Company shall pay to BRS:

(a)           Upon the consummation of any Transaction, a transaction fee (“Transaction Fee”) equal to one percent (1%) of the total Transaction value (which shall be equal to the enterprise value) of such Transaction.

(b)           Actual and direct out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of attorneys, accountants and other professionals and consultants retained by BRS in connection with the Services provided hereunder) incurred by BRS and its personnel in performing Services, which shall be reimbursed to BRS by the Company upon BRS’s rendering of a statement therefor together with such supporting data as the Company reasonably shall require.

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, the Company shall not be required to pay any of the Transaction Fee, (1) if and to the extent such payment is expressly prohibited by the provisions of any credit, financing or other agreement, indenture or instrument binding upon the Company or its properties; provided, however, that if, as a result of the operation of any such prohibitions, payments otherwise owed hereunder are not made, such payments shall not be cancelled but rather shall accrue, and shall be payable by the Company promptly when, and to the extent that, the Company is no longer prohibited from making such payments, together with accrued interest

2

calculated at the rate of interest then charged under the Company’s then existing credit agreement from the date such payment was due through the date of payment; or (2) if a majority of disinterested directors of the Company determines by resolution that such Transaction Fee should not be paid because the reasonable value of the Services rendered does not support payment of the Transaction Fee.  Other than the credit agreement and the indentures to be entered into by the Company on the date of consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will not enter into any such agreement, indenture or instrument that restricts payment by the Company of the Transaction Fee without the prior written approval of BRS.  This Section 6(c) will not prohibit nor restrict, in any manner, the Company’s obligation to make the payment specified in Section 6(a), to make reimbursements pursuant to Section 6(b), to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 7, 10 and 17, or to make any other payments contemplated by this Agreement.

7.             Indemnification.  In the event that BRS or any of its affiliates, principals, partners, directors, stockholders, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement, or in connection with its Services, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any actual or threatened claims, lawsuits, actions or liabilities (including out-of-pocket expenses and the fees and expenses of counsel and other litigation costs and the cost of any preparation or investigation) of any kind or nature, arising as a result of or in connection with this Agreement and their Services, activities and decisions hereunder, and will periodically reimburse BRS for its expenses as described above, except that the Company will not be obligated to so indemnify any Indemnified Party if, and to the extent that, such claims, lawsuits, actions or liabilities against such Indemnified Party directly result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as admitted in any settlement by such Indemnified Party or held in any final, non-appealable judicial or administrative decision.  In connection with such indemnification, the Company will promptly remit or pay to BRS any amounts which BRS certifies to the Company in writing are payable to BRS or other Indemnified Parties hereunder.  The reimbursement and indemnity obligations of the Company under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Indemnified Party, as the case may be, of BRS and any such affiliate and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, BRS, and any such Indemnified Party.  The foregoing provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8.             Independent Contractors.  Nothing herein shall be construed to create a joint venture or partnership between the parties hereto or an employee/employer relationship.  BRS shall be an independent contractor pursuant to this Agreement.  Neither party hereto shall have any express or implied right or authority to assume or create any obligations on behalf of or in the name of the other party or to bind the other party to any contract, agreement or undertaking with any third party.

9.             Notices.  Any notice or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and delivered by hand or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by telecopier to the party to whom it is to be given at its address set forth herein, or to such other address as the party shall have specified by notice similarly given.
