The undersigned members of the Administrative Committee, having the authority to
act on the matter set forth below, hereby approve the following:

WHEREAS, Section 12.01 of the Farmer Bros. Co. Amended and Restated Employee
Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”) permits amendments to the Plan from time to
time;

subsection (c) that provides for full vesting of the Accounts of certain Plan
Members who are terminated from employment in connection with the Company’s
closure of its corporate headquarters and nearby manufacturing/distribution
facilities, and the Committee now desires clarify the language of subsection
(c); and

WHEREAS, this Committee now deems it appropriate to amend Section 6.01 of the
Plan to add a subsection (d) that provides for full vesting of the Accounts of
Plan Members who are terminated from employment in connection with a
reduction-in-force at a Company facility.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Section 6.01 of the Plan is hereby amended
effective as of January 1, 2015, to read as follows:

the Company, shall be fully vested in, and have a nonforfeitable right to,
his/her Account as of his/her Severance Date.”
