WHEREAS, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Tasty Baking Company 1997
Long Term Incentive Plan (“Plan”) on ___________, 1997, and the Plan was

WHEREAS, as additional compensation for Grantee’s past and future services to

the actions of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Board’s Compensation
Committee (the “Committee”) on the Grant Date, the Company wishes to transfer
shares of Common Stock of the Company to Grantee pursuant to the terms of the
Plan, subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Grantee hereby agree as follows:

1. As of the Grant Date, the Company shall transfer to Grantee
__________________ (________) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$.50 per share (“Award Shares”), at which time Grantee shall become the
beneficial owner of the Award Shares so transferred, with the right to vote the
Award Shares and receive dividends with respect to the Award Shares, subject to
the risk of forfeiture conditions and transfer restrictions set forth herein.

2. (a) The Grantee’s right to beneficial ownership of the Award Shares shall
become permanently vested and nonforfeitable, and they shall be released from
the transfer restrictions set forth herein on the earlier of (i) fifth
anniversary of the Grant Date, provided that Grantee remains in the continuous
employment of the Employer as of such date; or (ii) upon the retirement of the
Grantee with the approval of the Company.

(b) Prior to the vesting of the Award Shares pursuant to Paragraph 2(a), above,
no Award Share (including any shares received by Grantee with respect to the
Award Shares as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of
recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s securities
without receipt of consideration) may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered.

(c) If the Grantee’s employment with the Employer is terminated for any reason
(excluding death) before he or she has become vested in the Award Shares
pursuant to Paragraph 2(a), above, the Grantee shall forfeit the Award Shares,
whether or not the Grantee is reemployed by the Employer.

(d) If a Grantee dies while in the employ of the Employer prior to the vesting
of the Award Shares pursuant to Paragraph 2(a), above, all of the Award Shares
shall become nonforfeitable and shall be delivered to the beneficiary designated
by the Grantee pursuant to such rules and procedures established by the
Committee.

3. Unless the Grantee and the Company make other arrangements satisfactory to
the Company with respect to the payment of withholding taxes, upon vesting of
the Award Shares pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) above, the Award Shares shall be
reduced by that number of Award Shares having a value, as of the date they
become vested, equal to the minimum amount of Federal, state and local taxes
required to be withheld with respect to such Award Shares.

4.  Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Grantee any right to continue in
the employ of the Employer or any affiliate thereof, or shall interfere with or
restrict in any way the rights of such person to terminate Grantee’s employment
at any time, subject to the terms of any employment agreement by and between the
Employer and Grantee.
