Article II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES; CLOSING PAYMENTS

Section 2.1. Effect on Capital Stock . At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any holders of any securities of the Company or the sole shareholder of Merger Sub:

(a) Merger Consideration . Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than (i) shares of Company Common Stock owned directly by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) shares of Company Common Stock owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (together with the shares of Company Common Stock referred to in the immediately preceding clause (i), the " Excluded Shares "), in each case of clause (i) and clause (ii) of this Section 2.1(a) other than shares of Company Common Stock held in trust accounts, managed accounts, mutual funds and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary or agency capacity, that are beneficially owned by third parties, shall be automatically converted into the right to receive $50.00 in cash (the " Per Share Merger Consideration "), payable to the holder thereof, without interest, in the manner set forth in Section 2.2 . At the Effective Time, all of the shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate and uncertificated interest formerly representing any shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration for each such share of Company Common Stock, payable without interest, in accordance with this Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 .

(b) Excluded Shares . Each Excluded Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time as described in clause (i) of Section 2.1(a) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist. Each Excluded Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time as described in clause (ii) of Section 2.1(a) shall be converted into such number of shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation such that each direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company that owned capital stock in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall own the same percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time without any payment of consideration therefor.

(c) Capital Stock of Merger Sub . Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (the " Merger Sub Common Stock ") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, or such higher number of such shares as may be necessary to give effect to the second sentence of Section 2.1(b).

Section 2.2. Exchange of Certificates .

(a) Paying Agent . Prior to the Closing Date, Parent and Merger Sub shall enter into an agreement (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company) with a paying agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the " Paying Agent ") for the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent for the benefit of the record holders of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares), a cash amount in immediately available funds necessary and sufficient for the Paying Agent to make all payments under Section 2.1(a) (such cash amount being hereinafter referred to as the " Exchange Fund "). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as set forth in this Article II . The Paying Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent solely in (i) direct short-term obligations of the United States of America, (ii) obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, (iii) commercial paper rated P-1 or A-1 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation, respectively, (iv) in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker's acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, (v) in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a nationally recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or (vi) a combination of any of the foregoing, provided that, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three months. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the aggregate amounts payable under Section 2.1(a) shall be returned to Parent in accordance with Section 2.2(d) . No such investment or losses thereon shall relieve Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article II or affect the amount of Per Share Merger Consideration payable to holders of Company Common Stock, and to the extent that there are any losses with respect to any such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Paying Agent to make prompt cash payment under Section 2.1(a) , Parent shall promptly provide additional cash to the Paying Agent to add to the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to make such payments under Section 2.1(a) . Parent shall pay all charges and expenses of the Paying Agent in connection with the exchange of Company Common Stock for the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(b) Exchange Procedures . Promptly after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each record holder, as of the Effective Time, of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (each, a " Certificate "), which have converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.1 , a form

of letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates held by such Person shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to the Paying Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the Paying Agent shall issue and deliver to the holder of such Certificate, by check or wire transfer (as specified in the letter of transmittal), a cash amount (less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.6 ) equal to the product of (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and such Certificate shall then be canceled. Promptly after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall issue and deliver to each holder, as of the Effective Time, of interest formerly representing uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock that were represented by book-entry (" Book-Entry Shares "), which have converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.1 , a check or wire transfer for an amount of cash (less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.6 ) equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration and (B) the number of such Book-Entry Shares, without such holder being required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the shares of Company Common Stock on the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that such Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b) , each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.1 .

(c) Transfers . From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers of shares of the Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and, subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.2(b) , exchanged for the cash amount to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article II (less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.6 ) to be paid in the manner specified in the letter of transmittal to an account designated by such holder.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund . At any time after the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Parent shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Any holder of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look

only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) for payment of the amount to which such holder is entitled as a result of the Merger (upon due surrender of such holder's shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof), without any interest thereon.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed 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 required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be reasonably required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent (or, if subsequent to the termination of the Exchange Fund and subject to Section 2.2(d) , Parent) will deliver, in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, an amount in cash (less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.6 ) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate and (ii) the Per Share Merger Consideration.

Section 2.3. Treatment of Equity Awards .

(a) Options . Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted pursuant to the Company Equity Plans or otherwise (other than pursuant to the ASPP) (each, an " Option ") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, vest in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to the Option such that (i) all time-vesting Options shall fully vest (to the extent unvested) and (ii) all performance-vesting Options granted under the Company's 2017 Enterprise Incentive Plan shall vest based on the actual level of performance for the quarter ending on or before the Effective Time, pro-rated based on the proration schedule set forth in Section 2.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that that each Option that is outstanding and vested as of the Effective Time, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of that Option or any other Person, be cancelled and terminated and converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but no later than thirty (30) days following the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Option, multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Option, less any Taxes required to be withheld in accordance with Section 2.6 . For the avoidance of doubt, if there is no excess under subsection (ii), then the holder of such Option shall not be entitled to receive any amounts under this Section 2.3(a) and such Option shall be cancelled and terminated in accordance with this Section 2.3(a) .

(b) Restricted Stock . Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that at the Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock in respect of shares of Company Common Stock granted under a Company Equity Plan or otherwise (each, a " Restricted Stock Award ") shall fully vest (to the extent unvested) such that (i) all time-based restrictions shall lapse in accordance with such Restricted Stock Award's applicable terms and conditions, and (ii) all performance-vesting Company Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Company's 2017 Enterprise Incentive Plan shall vest and be payable based on the actual level of performance for the quarter ending on or before the Effective Time, pro-rated based on the proration schedule set forth in Section 2.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedule. Upon such vesting, each share of Company Common Stock underlying each Restricted Stock Award shall be treated as Company Common Stock for all purposes of this Agreement, with any applicable Taxes withheld in accordance with Section 2.6 .

(c) Restricted Stock Units . Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that each award of restricted stock units (including any performance-vesting restricted stock units) in respect of shares of Company Common Stock granted under a Company Equity Plan or otherwise (each, a " Company RSU ") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, vest in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to the Company RSU such that (i) all time-vesting Company RSUs shall fully vest (to the extent unvested) and all time vesting restrictions shall lapse and (ii) all performance-vesting Company RSUs shall vest and be payable assuming all performance-vesting conditions have been satisfied at the target level of performance, pro-rated based on the number of days in the performance period preceding the Closing Date. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that each Company RSU that is outstanding and vested as of the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder such Company RSU, be cancelled and, in exchange for the cancellation of each Company RSU, each holder thereof as of the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time but no later than thirty (30) days following the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company RSU, less any Taxes required to be withheld in accordance with Section 2.6 .

(d) Associate Stock Purchase Plan . As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement and in any event prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the ASPP) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required so that (i) participation in the Company's 2012 Associate Stock Purchase Plan (the " ASPP ") shall be limited to those employees who are participants on the date of this Agreement, (ii) participants may not increase their payroll deduction elections or rate of contributions from those in effect on the date of this Agreement, and (iii) the ASPP shall terminate, effective upon the first purchase date following the date of this Agreement, but subsequent to the exercise of purchase rights on such purchase date (in accordance with the terms of the ASPP).

(e) Company Actions . Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, in consultation with Parent, make any amendments to the terms of the Company Equity Plans and the ASPP and obtain any consents from holders of Equity Based Awards that, in each case, are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.3 and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, payment may be withheld in respect of any Equity Based Award until any necessary consents in respect of such Equity Based Award are obtained. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Company will not at the Effective Time be bound by any Equity Based Awards or any warrants or other rights or agreements (other than this Agreement) which would entitle any Person, other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, to own any capital stock of the Surviving Corporation or to receive any payment in respect thereof. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate all its Company Equity Plans, such termination to be effective at or before the Effective Time. For purposes of this Agreement, " Company Equity Plans " shall mean the following plans of the Company: Snyder's-Lance, Inc. 2008 Director Stock Plan, Snyder's-Lance, Inc. 2014 Director Stock Plan, Lance, Inc. 2007 Key Employee Incentive Plan, Snyder's of Hanover, Inc. Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, Snyder's-Lance, Inc. 2012 Key Employee Incentive Plan, Snyder's-Lance, Inc. 2016 Key Employee Incentive Plan, Diamond Foods, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, and Diamond Foods, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.

Section 2.4. Adjustments to Prevent Dilution . Notwithstanding any provision of this Article II to the contrary (and without in any way limiting the covenants in Section 4.2 hereof), if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the occurrence of, or record date for, any share dividend or distribution, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, share split (including a reverse share split), merger, combination, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to provide to the holders thereof the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

Section 2.5. No Liability . To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, none of the parties to this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent will be liable to any shareholders of the Company or other Person in respect of any cash properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

Section 2.6. Withholding Rights . Each of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the " Code ") and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any other applicable state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law and shall timely remit any amounts so withheld to the applicable Governmental Authority. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons otherwise entitled to the payment in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.

Article III

You hereby appoint (a) CS Securities (in such capacity, the " Arranger ") to act, and the Arranger hereby agrees to act, as sole lead bookrunner and sole lead arranger for the Bridge Facility, and (b) CS to act, and CS hereby agrees to act, as sole administrative agent for the Bridge Facility, in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter. Each of the Arranger and the Administrative Agent, in such capacities, will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in such roles. You further agree that no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Bridge Facility unless you and we shall so agree.

3. Syndication .

We reserve the right, prior to and/or after the execution of the Bridge Facility Documentation, to syndicate all or a portion of the Initial Lender's commitments with respect to the Bridge Facility to a group of banks and financial institutions identified by us that (x) are reasonably acceptable to you or (y) have been identified pursuant to the syndication strategy (the " Syndication Strategy ") mutually agreed in writing prior to the date hereof (each, a " Permitted Assignee " and, together with the Initial Lender, the " Lenders ") (which syndication shall not reduce the commitments of the Initial Lender hereunder, except as provided for in Section 9), and you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide us with a period of at least fifteen (15) consecutive business days following the date of your acceptance of this Commitment Letter and prior to the Closing Date to syndicate the Bridge Facility. In addition, you and we agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, execute and deliver Joinder Agreements (as defined below) promptly upon request.

We intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter. Until the earlier of (x) 60 days following the Closing Date and (y) the completion of a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) (such later date, the " Syndication Date "), you agree to actively assist us in achieving a syndication of the Bridge Facility satisfactory to you and us. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) direct contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of you (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause direct contact between senior management, representatives, and advisors of the Target if and to the extent consistent with, and subject to the limitations and compliance with the terms of, the Acquisition Agreement) and the proposed Lenders, (c) your reasonable assistance (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to assist if and to the extent consistent with, and subject to the limitations and compliance with the terms of, the Acquisition Agreement) in the preparation of a customary confidential information memorandum for the Bridge Facility and other customary marketing materials and presentations to be used in connection with the syndication (the " Information Materials "), (d) your providing or causing to be provided customary projections of Borrower and its subsidiaries, (e) your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Public Debt Rating (as defined in Annex I to Exhibit A) from each of Standard & Poor's Ratings Service (" S&P ") and Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

You shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding against an Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission or fault, culpability, wrong-doing or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.

You shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding effected without your prior written consent (which prior written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with your written consent, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 7.

ANNEX B-I

Form of Solvency Certificate

[DATE]

This Solvency Certificate (" Certificate ") of Campbell Soup Company, a [__] corporation (the " Borrower "), and its Subsidiaries is delivered pursuant to Section [__] of the Senior Unsecured Bridge Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of [__], 2018 (the " Credit Agreement "), by and among the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

I, [__], the duly elected, qualified and acting [__] of the Borrower, DO HEREBY CERTIFY, in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), as follows:

1. I have reviewed the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents referred to therein (collectively, the " Transaction Documents ") and have made such investigation as I have deemed necessary to enable me to express a reasonably informed opinion as to the matters referred to herein.

2. As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the Transactions, the fair value and the present fair saleable value of any and all property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the probable liability on existing debts of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as they become absolute and matured (it being understood that the amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability).

3. As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the Transactions, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis are able to pay their debts (including, without limitation, contingent and subordinated liabilities) as they become absolute and mature (it being understood that the amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability).

4. As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the Transactions, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis are otherwise "solvent" within the meaning given that term and similar terms under applicable laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances.

5. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not intend to, nor do they believe that they will, incur debts that would be beyond their ability to pay as such debts mature.

6. As of the date hereof, before and after giving effect to the Transactions, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not engaged in businesses or transactions, nor about to engage in businesses or transactions, for which any property remaining would, on a consolidated basis, constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in which they are engaged.

7. For the purpose of the foregoing, I have assumed there is no default under the Credit Agreement on the date hereof and will be no default under the Credit Agreement after giving effect to the funding under the Credit Agreement.
