liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.&#160; In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than a payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

6.  Indemnification of Directors and
Officers.
Under Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, B&G Foods may indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of B&G Foods) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee, or
agent of B&G Foods, or is or was serving at the request of B&G Foods as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of B&G Foods, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe such person's conduct was unlawful.
In addition, under Section 145 B&G
Foods may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of B&G Foods to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
B&G Foods, or is or was serving at the request of B&G Foods as a
director, officer, employee or agent of B&G Foods, or is or was serving at
the request of B&G Foods as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of B&G Foods and
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to B&G
Foods unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other
court shall deem proper.
Section 145 also provides that to the
extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to above, or defense of any claim issue or matter therein,
such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Furthermore, Section 145 provides that
nothing in the above-described provisions shall be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which any person
may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.
Under Section 102(b)(7) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, B&G Foods may in its certificate of
incorporation eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director except for liability: (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (pertaining to certain prohibited acts including
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful purchase or redemption of the
corporation's capital stock); or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
Our certificate of incorporation provides
that our directors shall be entitled to the benefits of all limitations on the
liability of directors generally permissible under Delaware law and that we
shall indemnify all persons whom we are permitted to indemnify to the full
extent permitted under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law.
In addition, our bylaws provide for the
indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted
under Delaware law as in effect from time to time and by our certificate of
incorporation.
As permitted by our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws, we have purchased and we maintain directors' and
officers' liability insurance policies to insure our officers and directors
against certain liabilities.

Item
9.    Undertakings
(a)
The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period
in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above
do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration
by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)           The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated
by reference in the registration
3
statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)           Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than a payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
