Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

      Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments . In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

           “Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

           “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

           “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% (50 basis points) over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.

          In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

           “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

           “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on

Lance, Inc.		Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement

which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

           “Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

If such Proposed Prepayment Date is in connection with an offer contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.7, such date shall be not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (if the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the first Business Day which is at least 45 days after the date of such offer).

Form of Opinion of Special Counsel
to the Company

December 7, 2010

To each of the Noteholders listed on
Schedule A to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below)

Re: Lance, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special counsel to Lance, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “ Company ”), in connection with the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 7, 2010 (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) between the noteholders named on Schedule A to the Purchase Agreement (each a “ Noteholder ”) and the Company. The Purchase Agreement provides for the amendment and restatement of certain notes issued by the Company to the Noteholders (the “ Transaction ”). We are delivering this opinion letter to you at the Company’s request pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of the Purchase Agreement. This opinion letter has been prepared and should be understood in accordance with the Legal Opinion Principles , 53 Bus.Law. 831 (1998) and Guidelines for the Preparation of Closing Opinions , 57 Bus.Law. 875 (2002), of the Committee on Legal Opinions, ABA Section of Business Law .

     The following documents, all dated as of December 7, 2010, are referred to collectively in this opinion letter as the “ Transaction Documents ”:

	1.		Purchase Agreement; and
	2.		5.72% Senior Notes due June 12, 2017 by the Company payable to each of the Noteholders in the principal amounts set forth on Schedule A to the Purchase Agreement.

     Capitalized terms used but not defined in this opinion letter have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. References in this opinion letter to our knowledge mean a conscious present awareness of facts, without investigation, by any of the lawyers currently with this firm who have given substantive attention to legal representation of the Company in matters relating directly to the Transaction Documents.

     In connection with rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined the Transaction Documents and made such other investigation as we have deemed appropriate. We have examined and relied on certificates of public officials and, as to certain matters of fact that are material to our opinions, we have also examined and relied on a certificate of an officer of

Exhibit 4.4(a)
(to Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement)

the Company (the “ Fact Certificate ”). A copy of the Fact Certificate has been furnished to you or your counsel. We have not independently established any of the facts so relied on.

     For the purposes of this opinion letter we have made assumptions that are customary in opinion letters of this kind, including the assumptions that each document submitted to us is accurate and complete, that each such document that is an original is authentic, that each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original, that all signatures on each such document are genuine, and that no changes in the facts certified in the Fact Certificate have occurred or will occur after the date of the Fact Certificate. We have further assumed the legal capacity of natural persons, and we have assumed that each party to each of the Transaction Documents (other than the Company) has the legal capacity and has satisfied all legal requirements necessary to make that Transaction Document enforceable against it. We have not verified any of the foregoing assumptions.

     The opinions expressed in this opinion letter are limited to the law of the State of North Carolina, other than its law relating to choice of law, and federal law of the United States that in our experience is applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents. We are not opining on specialized laws that are not customarily covered in opinion letters of this kind, such as tax, insolvency, antitrust, pension, employee benefit, environmental, intellectual property, banking, insurance, labor, health and safety, and securities laws. In addition, we are not opining on the law of any county, municipality or other political subdivision or local governmental agency or authority.

     Based on the foregoing, and subject to the foregoing and the additional qualifications and other matters set forth below, it is our opinion that:

     1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina.

     2. The Company has the corporate power to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents.

     3. The Company has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of and performance of its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents, and has duly executed and delivered each of them.

     4. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, do not violate the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws.

     5. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, do not, to our knowledge, (a) breach or constitute a default of the Company under the express terms of the Bank Credit Agreement or any agreement or instrument listed as an exhibit to the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K or to any quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed after such

10-K, or (b) result in a lien on any property of the Company pursuant to the express terms of any such agreement or instrument.

     6. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, do not violate North Carolina Business Corporation Act or any applicable statute, rule, or regulation of the State of North Carolina or the United States.

     7. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, do not require the Company to obtain any approval by or make any filing with any governmental authority under any statute, rule, or regulation of the State of North Carolina or the United States, other than approvals and filings previously obtained or made and in full force and effect.

     In addition, we advise you that we were not engaged by the Company to give substantive attention, in the form of legal consultation or representation, to any action or proceeding pending before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, or overtly threatened in writing, against the Company that seeks to enjoin the performance of the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions thereunder.

     We express no opinion with respect to any matter involving financial information or relating to compliance with financial covenants or financial requirements.

December 7, 2010

To:	The Parties listed on Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement (defined below)
	Re:	$100,000,000.00 5.72% Senior Notes
		Due June 12, 2017
		of
		Lance, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as your special counsel in connection with the execution and delivery of (i) the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 7, 2010 (the “ Note Purchase Agreement ”), by and among Lance, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “ Company ”), Snyder’s of Hanover Manufacturing, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ( “Snyder’s Manufacturing” ), Snyder’s of Hanover, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ( “Snyder’s” ), and each of you, respectively, and (ii) $100,000,000.00 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s amended and restated 5.72% Senior Notes, due June 12, 2017 (the “ Notes” ).

     In that connection, we have examined the following:

     (a) the Note Purchase Agreement;

     (b) the Notes delivered on the date hereof and registered in the names of the purchasers and in the amounts set forth in Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement;

     (c) the opinion of K&L Gates LLP, counsel to the Company, dated the date hereof and delivered in response to Section 4.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement; and

     (d) such other documents and matters of law as we have deemed necessary to give the opinions hereinafter expressed.

Exhibit 4.4(b)
(to Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement)

     The documents referenced in clauses (a) and (b) above are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “ Financing Documents .”

     We believe that the opinion referred to in clause (c) above is satisfactory in scope and form and that you and we are justified in relying thereon. As to all matters of fact we have relied solely upon (a) the representations and warranties of the Company and you set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement and (b) the certificates of public officials and of the officers of the Company, and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the accuracy of such representations, warranties and certificates.

     We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form, the legal competence of each individual executing any document and that each Person executing the Financing Documents validly exists and has the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Financing Documents. We have assumed that the Financing Documents have been duly authorized by all parties, have been duly executed and delivered by all parties and, as to Persons other than the Company, are binding upon and enforceable against such Persons. We have also assumed that the execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents do not violate or result in any breach of the charter documents of the Company or any agreement to which the Company is subject or require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by, or notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority (excluding the federal laws of the United States or the laws of the State of New York) which has not been obtained.

     For purposes of this opinion, we have made such examination of law as we have deemed necessary. This opinion is limited solely to (a) the internal substantive laws of the State of New York as applied by courts located in the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles and (b) the federal laws of the United States of America, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. In addition, we note that the Financing Documents contain provisions stating that they are to be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Except to the extent that such provisions are made enforceable by New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401 as applied by New York state courts or federal courts applying New York choice of law rules, no opinion is given herein as to any such provisions, or otherwise as to the choice of law or internal substantive rules of law that any court or other tribunal may apply to the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents.

     The opinions set forth below are further subject to the following exceptions, qualifications and assumptions:

     (a) the enforcement of any obligations of any person or entity under the Financing Documents or otherwise may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other laws and rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of creditors’ rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to waivers of debtors’ or guarantors’ rights), and general principles of equity including any implied duty of good faith and fair dealing

(regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

     (b) we express no opinion as to the availability of any specific or equitable relief of any kind;

     (c) we express no opinions as to any anti-fraud securities, “blue sky,” anti-trust or tax laws of any jurisdiction; and

     (d) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any particular provision of any of the Financing Documents relating to (i) waivers of rights to object to jurisdiction or venue, consents to jurisdiction or venue, or waivers of rights to (or methods of) service of process, (ii) waivers of an applicable defenses, setoffs, recoupments, or counterclaims, (iii) waivers or variations of legal provisions or rights which are not capable of waiver or variation under applicable law, or (iv) exculpation or exoneration clauses, contribution provisions and clauses relating to releases or waivers of immaterial claims or rights.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     1. The Note Purchase Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

     2. The Notes constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

     3. The issuance and delivery of the Notes under the circumstances contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement do not, under existing law, require the registration of the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

     This opinion is being furnished only to you in connection with the purchase of the Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, and is not to be used, quoted, relied upon or otherwise referred to by any other Person or for any other purposes without our prior written consent, except that this opinion may be reviewed, but not relied upon, by legal and regulatory authorities and may be relied upon as of the date hereof by subsequent holders of the Notes who are Institutional Investors and who have acquired the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement as if such subsequent holders were original addressees hereon. This opinion is based on factual matters in existence as of the date hereof and laws and regulations in effect on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should such factual matters change or should such laws or regulations be changed by legislative or regulatory action, judicial decision or otherwise.

Respectfully submitted,

      Whereas , the Subsidiary Guarantors are part of an affiliated group of business entities with the Company and each has received substantial direct and indirect benefit from the issue of the Notes to the original Holders and each views the issuance by the Company of the Notes to the original Holders as in the best interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

      Now, Therefore , in consideration of the premises, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, intending to be legally bound, hereby agrees for the benefit of the Holders, as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty.

     Each Subsidiary Guarantor, together with all other Subsidiary Guarantor s, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and its successors and assigns, the full and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the principal of and Make-Whole Amount and interest on (including, without

If any such rebate or refund is ever required, all other Subsidiary Guarantors (and the Company) shall be fully liable for the repayment thereof to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from to time exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Holders hereunder.

     (v) any full or partial release of the liability of the Company on the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, of any co-guarantors, or of any other Person now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by each Subsidiary Guarantor that such Subsidiary Guarantor may be required to pay the

Guaranteed Obligations in full without assistance or support of any other Person, and such Subsidiary Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Guaranty on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that any parties other than the Company will be liable to perform the Guaranteed Obligations, or that the Holders will look to other parties to perform the Guaranteed Obligations;

     (x) any payment by the Company to any Holder being held to constitute a preference under any Fraudulent Conveyance Law, or for any reason any Holder being required to refund such payment or pay such amount to the Company or someone else;

     (xi) any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not such action or omission prejudices such Subsidiary Guarantor or increases the likelihood that such Subsidiary Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, it being the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of such Subsidiary Guarantor that it shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action or omission whatsoever, whether or not contemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, except for the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash;

     (xvi) any other occurrence, circumstance, or event whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or which might otherwise limit recourse against such Subsidiary Guarantor;

provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Guaranty and the parties hereto that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment and performance of all obligations of the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes in accordance with their respective terms as each may be amended or modified from time to time.
