AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of April 10, 2011, by and among TASTY BAKING COMPANY, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), Flowers Foods, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Parent”), and Flowers Bakeries, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Capitalized terms used herein (including in the immediately preceding sentence) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 9.01 hereof.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Parent desires to acquire the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in furtherance thereof and pursuant to this Agreement, Merger Sub has agreed to commence a tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of the common stock, par value $.50 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), at a price per share of Company Common Stock of $4.00 (such amount or any greater amount per share that may be paid pursuant to the Offer being hereinafter referred to as the “Offer Price”) net to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law;

WHEREAS, following the consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving that merger (the “Merger”), in accordance with the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the “PBCL”), pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock, other than (i) shares of Company Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company and (ii) the Dissenting Shares, shall be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the Merger Consideration;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has unanimously (a) determined that the Offer, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby are fair to and in the best interests of the Company, (b) approved and adopted this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and (c) resolved to recommend acceptance of the Offer, and, if required, approval of the Merger by its shareholders in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent and Merger Sub have, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Offer and the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Offer and the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE OFFER

Section 1.01. The Offer.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days), Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)) the Offer.

(b) The obligation and right of Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for any shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to: (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer (and not validly withdrawn) prior to any then scheduled Expiration Time that number of shares of Company Common Stock which, together with the shares beneficially owned by Parent or Merger Sub (if any), represents at least a majority of the Company Common Stock then outstanding (determined on a partially diluted basis assuming conversion or exercise of all deferred stock units but not any other derivative securities including stock options) (the “Minimum Condition”); and (ii) the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other conditions and requirements set forth in Exhibit A (together with the Minimum Condition, the “Offer Conditions”). Subject to the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other Offer Conditions, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms and accept for payment and pay for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Time. The conditions to the Offer set forth in Exhibit A are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and may be asserted by Parent or Merger Sub regardless of the circumstances (including any action or inaction by Parent or Merger Sub, provided that nothing therein shall relieve any party hereto from any obligation or liability such party has under this Agreement) giving rise to such condition or may be waived by Parent or Merger Sub, in their sole discretion, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, subject to this Section 1.01. The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law.

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that describes the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement, including the Offer Conditions. Parent and Merger Sub reserve the right to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition, to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided by this Agreement or as previously approved in writing by the Company, Merger Sub shall not (i) reduce the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price, (iii) change, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (iv) add to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A or modify or change any Offer Condition in a manner adverse in any material respect to any shareholders of the Company, (v) except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.01, extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer, (vi) change the form of

consideration payable in the Offer or (vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the terms of the Offer in a manner adverse in any material respect to any shareholders of the Company.

(d) The Offer shall expire at midnight (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time) on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Time”) or, in the event the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, is referred to as the “Expiration Time”).

(e) If on or prior to any then scheduled Expiration Time, all of the conditions to the Offer (including the Minimum Condition and the other conditions and requirements set forth in Exhibit A) have not been satisfied or, to the extent waivable by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement, waived by Parent or Merger Sub, then Merger Sub (i) may (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer for successive periods of up to ten (10) Business Days each (or such longer period of up to twenty (20) Business Days if the Company consents in writing prior to such extension), the length of each such period to be determined by Parent in its sole discretion, in order to permit the satisfaction of such conditions; and (ii) shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer on one occasion for a period of up to seven (7) Business Days if requested by the Company; provided, however, that, in either case, Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer beyond June 23, 2011 (the “Outside Date”) and shall not extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date without the Company’s consent. In addition, Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for any period or periods required by applicable Law or applicable rules, regulations, interpretations or positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff (the “SEC”).

(f) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept and pay for (subject to any withholding of tax pursuant to Section 3.05) all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Time (as it may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Section 1.01). Acceptance for payment of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to and subject to the Offer Conditions upon the Expiration Time is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing,” and the date on which the Offer Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing Date.” Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, following the Offer Closing, extend the Offer for a “subsequent offering period” not to exceed ten (10) Business Days after the Offer Closing in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, and the Offer Documents (as defined below) may, in Merger Sub’s sole discretion, provide for such a reservation of right. Nothing contained in this Section 1.01 shall affect any termination rights in Article VIII.

(g) Merger Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Company except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII, prior to the acceptance for payment of the Company Common Stock tendered in

the Offer, Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof.

(h) As soon as practicable on the date of the commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO shall include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal and summary advertisement, if any (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”). The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents. Parent and Merger Sub agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any material information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. Parent and Merger Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Offer Documents, and shall promptly provide the Company with copies of all correspondence between them and their representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments.

(i) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub, on a timely basis, the funds necessary to pay for any shares of Company Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to accept for payment, and pay for, pursuant to the Offer.

Section 1.02. Company Actions.

(a) On the date the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, contain the recommendation described in Section 4.03(d). The Company agrees to take all steps reasonably necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be prepared and filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. The Company,

on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any material information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Company further agrees to take all steps reasonably necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall promptly notify Parent and Merger Sub upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Schedule 14D-9, and shall promptly provide Parent and Merger Sub with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response, and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation contained in the Schedule 14D-9.

(b) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent and Merger Sub or their agents mailing labels, security position listings, nonobjecting beneficial owner lists and any other available listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of the record holders or beneficial owners of the shares of Company Common Stock as of the most recent practicable date, and shall promptly furnish Parent and Merger Sub with such information and assistance (including updated lists of record holders or beneficial owners of the shares of Company Common Stock, from time to time upon Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or either of their respective agents’ request, and the addresses, mailing labels and lists of security positions of such record holders or beneficial owners) as Parent, Merger Sub or their agents may reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer and the Offer Documents to the record holders and beneficial owners of the shares of Company Common Stock. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, Parent and Merger Sub shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall promptly deliver (and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause their agents and Representatives to deliver) to the Company (or destroy) all copies and any extract or summaries of such information then in their possession or control. In addition, in connection with the Offer, the Company shall cause its Representatives to cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub to disseminate the Offer Documents to holders of shares of Company Common Stock held in or subject to any Company Employee Plan, and to permit such holders of shares of Company Common Stock to tender such shares of Company Common Stock in the Offer, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the applicable Company Employee Plan.

Section 1.03. Directors.

(a) Effective upon the Offer Closing and from time to time thereafter, Parent shall be entitled to designate the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Company Board that equals the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to the election of any additional directors pursuant to this Section 1.03) and (ii) the percentage that the number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent and/or Merger Sub (including shares accepted for payment) bears to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding, and the Company shall cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board, including by promptly increasing the number of directors (included by amending the by-laws if necessary to increase the size of the Company Board) or securing resignations of incumbent directors. At such time, the Company shall also cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on (A) each committee of the Company Board and (B) as requested by Parent, each board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company (and each committee thereof) that represents the same percentage as such individuals represent on the Company Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Effective Time, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that not less than three (3) persons who are directors on the date hereof shall remain members of the Company Board until the Effective Time.

(b) The Company’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all actions reasonably necessary to effect the appointment of Parent’s designees, including mailing to its shareholders information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors, as Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 require in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.03(b), which, unless Parent otherwise elects, shall be mailed together with the Schedule 14D-9. Parent shall supply to the Company in writing and be solely responsible for any information with respect to itself and its nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 and the Company’s obligations under Section 1.03(a) hereof shall be subject to the receipt of such information.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 1.03(a) and until the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.03 hereof), the approval of a majority of the directors of the Company then in office who were not designated by Parent (the “Independent Directors”) shall be required to authorize (and such authorization shall constitute the authorization of the Company Board and no other action on the part of the Company, including any action by any other director of the Company, shall be required to authorize) (i) any termination of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) any amendment of this Agreement requiring action by the Company Board, (iii) any amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation and by-laws, (iv) any extension of time for performance of any obligation or action hereunder by Parent or Merger Sub, and (v) any waiver of compliance with, or enforcement by the Company of, any of the agreements or conditions contained herein for the benefit of the Company.

Section 1.04. Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.04, to purchase

at a price per share equal to the Offer Price paid in the Offer that number of newly issued shares of Company Common Stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lowest number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, shall constitute one share more than 80% of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares on a partially diluted basis (assuming conversion or exercise of all deferred stock units but not any other derivative securities including stock options); provided, however, that (i) the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable for a number of shares of Company Common Stock in excess of the shares of Company Common Stock authorized and unissued or held in the treasury of the Company at the time of exercise, (ii) the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable unless immediately after such exercise and the issuance of the Top-Up Shares, Merger Sub shall own at least 80% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (determined on a partially diluted basis assuming conversion or exercise of all deferred stock units but not any other derivative securities including stock options) and (iii) the exercise of the Top-Up Option and the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares shall not be prohibited by any Law or Order. Upon Parent’s request, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to certify in writing to Parent the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option and after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares. The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable only once, in whole but not in part, at any time following the Offer Closing (only after Merger Sub has accepted and paid for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn) and prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the Effective Time and (B) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(b) In the event Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall give the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice, specifying (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries at the time of such notice (giving effect to the Offer Closing) and (ii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to Merger Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Merger Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares to be purchased by Merger Sub. At the closing of the purchase of Top-Up Shares, the aggregate purchase price owed by Merger Sub to the Company for the Top-Up Shares shall be paid to the Company at Parent’s election, either (i) entirely in cash, by wire transfer of same-day funds or (ii) by (A) paying in cash by wire transfer of same-day funds an amount equal to not less than the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares and (B) issuing to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price pursuant to the Top-Up Option less the amount paid in cash pursuant to the preceding clause (A) (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note (i) shall bear simple interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum, payable in arrears at maturity, (ii) shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution of the Promissory Note, (iii) shall be full recourse to Parent and Merger Sub, (iv) may be prepaid, at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, and (v) shall have no other material terms. The Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Sub a certificate representing the Top-Up Shares or, if the Company does not then have certificated shares, the applicable number of Book-Entry Shares. Such certificates or Book-Entry Shares may include any legends that are required by federal or state securities Laws.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that no Top-Up Shares issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”) and that all such shares will be issued in reliance upon an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Merger Sub is, and will be, upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Merger Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

(d) Any dilutive impact on the value of the shares of Company Common Stock as a result of the issuance of the Top-Up Shares will not be taken into account in any determination of the fair value of any Dissenting Shares pursuant to Subchapter 15D of the PBCL as contemplated by Section 3.03.

(e) If Merger Sub elects to exercise the Top-Up Option, as soon as practicable after such exercise, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) to cause the delisting of the Company and of the Company Common Stock from NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting.

Subject to Section 6.08, at the Effective Time, (a) the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so as to read in their entirety to be identical to the articles of incorporation and by-laws of Merger Sub as in effect following the required assignment described in Section 9.11 and immediately prior to the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof, the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation or as provided by applicable Law.

Section 2.06. Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of Merger Sub, in each case, following the required assignment described in Section 9.11 and immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

Section 3.01. Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or the holder of any capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including Restricted Shares, but excluding (i) shares to be cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 3.01(a), and (ii) Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive, in cash and without interest, an amount equal to the Offer Price or the appropriate fraction thereof, in the case of a fractional share, if any (the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and all shares of Company Common Stock will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and, subject to Section 3.03, each holder of a certificate formerly representing any such shares (each, a “Certificate”) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.02 hereof.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding following the required assignment described in Section 9.11 and immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 3.02. Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of exchanging the Merger Consideration for: (i) the Certificates, or (ii) book-entry shares which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the shares of Company Common Stock (the “Book-Entry Shares”). At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit, with the Exchange Agent, funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration that is payable in respect of all of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares (the “Payment Fund”) in amounts and at the times necessary for such payments. If for any reason (including losses) the Payment Fund is inadequate to pay the amounts to which holders of shares shall be entitled under Section 3.01(b), Parent shall take all steps necessary to enable or cause the Surviving Corporation promptly to deposit in trust additional cash with the Exchange Agent sufficient to make all payments required under this Agreement, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall in any event be liable for the payment thereof. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably

be requested by the Exchange Agent, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, and subject to the terms set forth in Section 3.03, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, each Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article III.

(e) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.02 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration. If any Certificate has not been surrendered immediately prior to such date on which Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate would irrevocably escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Merger Sub, Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Company shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts properly paid to any Governmental Entity or public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar applicable Laws.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

Section 3.03. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 3.01, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled in accordance with Section 3.01(a)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised dissenters rights (if applicable) of such shares in accordance with Subchapter 15D of the PBCL (such shares of Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s dissenters rights under the PBCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Subchapter 15D of the PBCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to dissenters pursuant to Subchapter 15D of the PBCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Subchapter 15D of the PBCL, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.01(b), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Book-Entry Share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.01(b), if the Merger is rescinded or abandoned prior to the Effective Time, then the right of any shareholder to be paid the fair value of such shareholder’s Dissenting Shares pursuant to Subchapter 15D of the PBCL shall cease. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the PBCL that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

Section 3.04. Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration (as applicable) and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

Section 3.05. Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration, as the case may be, otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of

which the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 3.06. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article III.

Section 3.07. Treatment of Stock Options and Other Stock-based Compensation.

(a) The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of that Company Stock Option or any other Person, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such Company Stock Option, less any Taxes required to be withheld in accordance with Section 3.05.

(b) The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, (i) each deferred stock unit award outstanding (each, a “Company Stock Award”) under any Company Stock Plan (as defined below), immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of that Company Stock Award or any other Person, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock in respect of such Company Stock Award multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration, less any Taxes required to be withheld in accordance with Section 3.05, and (ii) any right of repurchase or risk of forfeiture or other condition under any award agreement for Restricted Shares shall lapse and any vesting thereon shall fully accelerate, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the

(d) Board Approval. The Company Board has unanimously, by resolutions duly adopted at a meeting of the directors of the Company duly called and held and not subsequently rescinded or modified in any way, (i) approved and adopted this Agreement and has determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company, and (ii) resolved to recommend that Company shareholders accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer (the “Company Board Recommendation”).

As of their respective filing dates (or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing, as of the date of the last such amendment or superseding filing prior to the date hereof), each of the Company SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such Company SEC Documents. None of the Company SEC Documents, including any financial statements or schedules included therein, at the time they were filed (or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing, as of the date of the last such amendment or superseding filing prior to the date hereof), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurances that all material information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company required under the Exchange Act with respect to such reports.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.04(a), prior to the Offer Closing, the Company Board, directly or indirectly through any Representative, may, subject to Section 6.04(c), (i) participate in negotiations or discussions with any third party that has made (and not withdrawn) a bona fide, unsolicited Takeover Proposal in writing that the Company Board believes in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and the Company Financial Advisor, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, (ii) thereafter furnish to such third party non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement that constitutes an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, (iii) following receipt of and on account of a Superior Proposal, make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, and/or (iv) take any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders the Company to take, but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that there is a reasonable probability that the failure to take such action could cause the Company Board to be in breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company Board from disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Takeover Proposal, if the Company determines, after consultation with outside

legal counsel, that there is a reasonable probability that the failure to disclose such position could constitute a violation of applicable Law; provided, that, any such disclosure shall be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation within four (4) Business Days.

(c) The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after it obtains Knowledge of the receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Takeover Proposal. In such notice, the Company shall identify the third party making, and details of the material terms and conditions of, any such Takeover Proposal. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours), of the status and material terms of any such Takeover Proposal, including any material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms thereof.

(d) Except as set forth in this Section 6.04(d), the Company Board shall not make any Company Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any Subsidiary of the Company to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the Offer Closing, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any Subsidiary of the Company to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement, if: (i) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, at least four (4) Business Days (the “Notice Period”) before making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or entering into (or causing a Subsidiary of the Company to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall state expressly that the Company has received a Takeover Proposal that the Company intends to declare a Superior Proposal and that the Company Board intends to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or the Company intends to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement; (ii) the Company attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement and the identity of the third party making such Superior Proposal; and (iii) at the end of the Notice Period, the Company Board continues to believe that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, including taking into account any adjustment to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby proposed by Parent in response to such Takeover Proposal; provided, however that (A) with respect to any applicable Superior Proposal, any material amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notice by the Company and a new Notice Period, and no such termination of this Agreement by the Company or withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation may be made during any Notice Period, (B) the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, during such Notice Period described above, to the extent requested by Parent, negotiate with Parent in good faith, to make such changes in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Takeover Proposal (as amended) ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal or that the cause for such withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation ceases to exist, as applicable, (C) the Company Board shall take into account any written proposal to amend the financial and other terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to any such written notice by the Company or otherwise and (D) the requirements for terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04(a) or effecting a Company Adverse Recommendation Change are still satisfied at the time this Agreement is terminated or at the time of such withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation, as applicable.

(e) The Company agrees that any material violation of the restrictions set forth in Section 6.04(a) by any Representatives of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement (including this Section 6.04) by the Company.

Section 6.05. Shareholders Meeting; Preparation of Proxy Materials.

(a) Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, if the approval of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders is required under applicable Law, the Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholders Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the Offer Closing, and, in connection therewith, the Company shall mail the Company Proxy Statement to the holders of Company Common Stock in advance of such meeting. Except to the extent that the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 6.04(b) hereof, the Company Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the Offer and any subsequent offering period and the exercise, if any, of the Top-Up Option, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries shall hold, in the aggregate, at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (determined on a partially diluted basis assuming conversion or exercise of all deferred stock units but not any other derivative securities including stock options), the parties hereto shall take all necessary and appropriate action, including with respect to the transfer to Merger Sub of any shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the Offer Closing without the Company Shareholders Meeting in accordance with Section 1924(b)(1)(ii) of the PBCL.

(b) If the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders is required by applicable Law, as soon as practicable following the Offer Closing, the Company shall prepare and file the Company Proxy Statement with the SEC. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will cooperate and consult with each other in the preparation of the Company Proxy Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Company Proxy Statement. The Company shall not file the Company Proxy Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, without providing Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (which comments shall be reasonably considered by the Company). The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve, and each party agrees to consult and cooperate with the other party in resolving, all SEC comments with respect to the Company Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof and to cause the Company Proxy Statement in definitive form to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following filing with the SEC. The Company agrees to consult with Parent prior to responding to SEC comments with respect to the preliminary Company Proxy Statement. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Company Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and the Company shall promptly prepare and mail to its shareholders an amendment or supplement setting forth such correction. The Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable (i) notify Parent of the receipt of any comments from the SEC with respect to the Company

Proxy Statement and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Company Proxy Statement or for additional information and (ii) provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Company Proxy Statement.

Section 6.06. Notices of Certain Events. The Company shall notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub shall notify the Company, promptly of (i) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) any Legal Actions commenced, or to such party’s knowledge, threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, that are related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or the material failure of any party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement in this Agreement, in each case such that the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) or (c) of Exhibit A would not be satisfied or would give rise to a right a termination set forth in Section 8.03(b) or Section 8.04(b), as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall notify Parent and Merger Sub promptly of any change or event having, or which is reasonably likely to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect or which would reasonably be likely to result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Exhibit A to be satisfied. In no event shall the delivery of any notice by a party pursuant to this Section 6.06 limit or otherwise affect the respective rights, obligations, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement. During the time period between the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company shall have the right to supplement and/or amend the Company Disclosure Letter; provided, however, that the right to supplement and/or amend the Company Disclosure Letter shall apply only to facts, circumstances or events that occurred after the date of this Agreement and only where they would not be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.07. Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the date soonest to occur of (i) December 31, 2011 or (ii) the date of the employee’s termination of employment with Parent and its Subsidiaries, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to provide the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who remain employed immediately after the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Continuing Employees”) with base salary, target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation), and employee benefits under Parent Benefit Plans (excluding any Pension Plan, other than employee contributions to a 401(k) plan but not including any matching contribution thereon) that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the base salary, target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation), and employee benefits provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding any Pension Plan, other than employee contributions to a 401(k) plan but not including any matching contribution thereon) on the date of this Agreement.

(b) With respect to any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, excluding both any retiree healthcare plans or programs maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and any equity compensation arrangements maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any Company Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, recognize all service of the Company Continuing Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be as if such service were with Parent, for vesting and eligibility purposes (but not for (i) purposes of early retirement subsidies under any Parent Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan, (ii) benefit accrual purposes (except for vacation, if applicable) in any Parent Benefit Plan in which such Company Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time, or (iii) any frozen Parent Benefit Plan); provided, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (x) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (y) such service was not recognized under the corresponding Company Employee Plan.

(c) Effective upon the Offer Closing, Parent shall assume the obligations of the Company to pay the bonuses, if any, to be paid for calendar year 2011 and change in control payments identified in Section 6.07(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall create any right or obligation which is enforceable by any Company Employee, former Company Employee, Company Continuing Employee or any other Person with respect to any terms or conditions of employment, including, but not limited to, the benefits and compensation described in this Section 6.07. For the avoidance of doubt, any amendments to the Company’s, its Subsidiaries’, the Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s benefit and compensation plans, programs or arrangements shall occur only in accordance with their respective terms and shall be pursuant to action taken by the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Parent and the Surviving Corporation which are independent of the consummation of this Agreement or any continuing obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.07(d), each party entitled to a payment identified in Section 6.07(e) (including Trust Beneficiaries), and each party entitled to a payment identified in Section 6.07(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter (subject to the terms of the applicable Company Employee Plan), shall be an intended third party beneficiary of such respective section, who may enforce the provisions of such respective section against Parent with respect to the payment owed to such party. The preceding sentence shall not alter or limit any rights that any such party may have against the Company with respect to any such payment.

(e) Promptly after the Offer Closing, Parent shall fund, or cause Merger Sub to fund, the trusts established under the separate Trust Agreements between the Company and SEI Private Trust Company as Trustee, as successor Trustee to Wachovia Bank, N.A., dated November 17, 1989, with respect to the Tasty Baking Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans, and dated January 19, 1990, with respect to the Tasty Baking Company Retirement Plan for Directors (each, a “Rabbi Trust”), and thereafter to supplement such funding to the extent necessary, in both cases in accordance with the terms of the respective Rabbi Trust; provided that if Parent determines based upon the advice of legal counsel that such funding violates Section 409A of the Code, Parent and Merger Sub shall be under no obligation to fund the Rabbi Trusts. In the event the Rabbi Trusts are not funded, Parent shall pay, or Parent shall cause Merger Sub to pay, the benefits that the Rabbi Trusts would have paid and

shall pay benefits directly to the “Trust Beneficiaries” (as such term is defined in the Rabbi Trusts) in accordance with the terms of the retirement plan associated with each Rabbi Trust.

Section 6.08. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of the Company and its Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company Charter Documents, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date hereof and disclosed in Section 6.08 of the Company Disclosure Letter, shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and shall not be modified, amended or repealed in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Indemnified Parties thereunder with respect to their acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, and, in the event that any proceeding is pending or asserted or any claim made during such period, until the final disposition of such proceeding or claim.

(b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines arising in whole or in part out of actions or omissions in their capacity as such occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and shall reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines as such expenses are incurred, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party to repay such legal and other fees and expenses paid in advance if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation will not be liable for any settlement effected without the Surviving Corporation’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, if available, the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (provided that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies from a insurer with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries when compared to the insurance maintained by the Company as of the date hereof), or (ii) obtain and fully pay for as of the Effective Time “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Effective Time with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to

events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any year an amount in excess of 300% of the annual aggregate premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance.

(d) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.08 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.08 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.08 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.08, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.08).

(e) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.08. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or its officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.08 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

Section 6.09. Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including those contained in this Section 6.09), each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, and to satisfy all conditions to, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Offer, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary Permits, waivers, consents, approvals and actions from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities) and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entities, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary and material consents or waivers from third parties, and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Offer, the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall, subject to applicable Law, promptly (x) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the taking of the actions contemplated by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) immediately above and (y) supply the other with any information that may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the taking of such actions. Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the Company or Parent

receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then it shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request, and, if permitted by applicable Law and by any applicable Governmental Entity, provide the other party’s counsel with advance notice and the opportunity to attend and participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing made thereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Parent nor the Company shall commit to or agree (or permit their respective Subsidiaries to commit to or agree) with any Governmental Entity to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Laws, without the prior written consent of the other (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to Section 6.09(a) hereof, the parties hereto shall (i) provide or cause to be provided as promptly as reasonably practicable to Governmental Entities with jurisdiction over the Antitrust Laws (each such Governmental Entity, a “Governmental Antitrust Authority”) information and documents requested by any Governmental Antitrust Authority as necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing and filing any notification and report form and related material required under the HSR Act and any additional consents and filings under any other Antitrust Laws as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement (provided that in the case of the filing under the HSR Act, such filing shall be made within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement) and thereafter to respond as promptly as practicable to any request for additional information or documentary material that may be made under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Laws and (ii) subject to the terms set forth in Section 6.09(c) hereof, use their reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary or advisable to obtain prompt approval of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any Governmental Entity or expiration of applicable waiting periods.

(c) In the event that any administrative or judicial action, proceeding or other Legal Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or private party challenging the Offer, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, the parties shall cooperate in all respects and shall use their reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Subsidiaries shall be required, without the prior written consent of Parent, to consent to any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order to sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any material portion (in the aggregate among such entities) of the assets or business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 6.10. Public Announcements. Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall use their reasonable best efforts to consult with each other before issuing, and, to the extent reasonably practicable, provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange.

Section 6.11. Takeover Statutes; Rights Agreement. To the extent that any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Offer, the acquisition of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 2538 through 2588, inclusive, of the PBCL (including Subchapter 25F of the PBCL), then each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective board of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 6.12. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act any dispositions of shares of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) that are treated as dispositions under such rule and result from the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby by each director or officer of the Company who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

Section 6.13. Rule 14d-10(d) Matters. Prior to the Offer Closing, the Company (acting through the compensation committee of the Company Board) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause each agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company on or after the date hereof with any of its officers, directors or employees pursuant to which consideration is paid to such officer, director or employee to be approved as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act.

Section 9.08. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits to this Agreement), the Company Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Company Disclosure Letter (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Company Disclosure Letter), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 9.09. Third Parties. Except as provided in Section 6.07 and Section 6.08 hereof (which shall be to the benefit of the parties referred to in such sections), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right or remedy of any nature to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.10. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.11. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Merger Sub shall be permitted and required to assign this Agreement and all of its rights and obligations hereunder to Compass Merger Sub, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, by April 15, 2011 (upon such required assignment, the references in this Agreement to Merger Sub shall apply to such assignee unless the context otherwise requires, and for the avoidance of doubt, the representations and warranties (including those set forth in Article V hereof) and covenants made with respect to Merger Sub shall apply to the assignee of such required assignment). No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 9.12. Specific Performance. Notwithstanding Article VIII (including Section 8.06), the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached, and that the party seeking to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled to specific performance and the issuance of injunctive and other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief sought in accordance with this Section 9.12. The parties fully intend that specific performance will be the principal remedy for failure to perform or other breaches of this Agreement, and each party also agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 9.12 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, without the agreement of each party in this Section 9.12, the other party would not enter into this Agreement. The parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief.

Section 9.13. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be one and the same agreement. This Agreement will become effective when each party to this Agreement will have received counterparts signed by all of the other parties.

(b) (i) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Sections 4.02, 4.03(a) or 4.03(d) of the Merger Agreement, without giving effect to materiality or “Company Material Adverse Effect” qualifications, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Expiration Time as though made as of the Expiration Time (except for representations and warranties made as of a specified date, the accuracy of which will determined only as of the specified date), and (ii) all of the remaining representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article IV of this Agreement, without giving effect to materiality or “Company Material Adverse Effect” qualifications, shall be true and correct as of the Expiration Time as though made as of the Expiration Time (except for representations and warranties made as of a specified date, the accuracy of which will determined only as of the specified date), except with respect to this clause (ii), where the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect;

(c) the Company shall have performed or complied with each agreement and covenant to be performed or complied with by it under this Agreement at or prior to the Expiration Time, except for such failures that have not had or would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect;

(d) no Governmental Entity shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, injunction or other Order that is in effect and which has the effect of making the Offer, Top Up Option or Merger illegal or otherwise prohibiting or preventing the consummation of the Offer, Top Up Option or the Merger;

(e) since the date of this Agreement, a Company Material Adverse Effect shall not have occurred;

(f) Merger Sub shall have received a certificate of the Company, executed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, dated as of the Expiration Time, to the effect that the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Exhibit A have occurred;

A-1

(g) the Company Board shall not have withdrawn or modified (including by amendment of the Schedule 14D-9) in a manner adverse to Merger Sub the Company Board Recommendation;

The foregoing conditions are for the benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and may be waived by Parent and Merger Sub in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion, in each case, subject to the terms of the Agreement. The failure by Parent or Merger Sub at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
