________________ (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between FARMER BROS.
CO., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
__________________________________ (the “Employee”).
 
WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to foster the continued employment
of well qualified, senior management-level personnel; and

foster such continued employment by setting forth the benefits and compensation
to be awarded to such personnel in the event of a voluntary or involuntary
termination within the meaning of this Agreement; and
 
WHEREAS, the Company further recognizes that the possibility of a Change in
Control of the Company exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and
questions that it may raise among management-level personnel, may result in the
departure or distraction of management-level personnel to the detriment of the
Company; and
 
WHEREAS, the Company has further determined that appropriate steps should be
taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of
members of the Company’s management-level personnel, including the Employee, to

Company (provided no Change in Control has occurred and no Threatened Change in
Control is pending) or the Employee shall have given notice that it or the
Employee, as the case may be, does not wish to have the Term extended; (ii) if
the Employee ceases for any reason to be an employee of the Company prior to a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thereof; and provided, further, that in all events the termination of the
Employee’s employment with the Company shall not be treated as a termination for
“Good Reason” unless such termination occurs not more than one (1) year
following the initial existence of the condition claimed to constitute “Good
Reason.

3.    Events That Trigger Benefits Under This Agreement. The Employee shall be
eligible for the compensation and benefits described in Section 4 of this
Agreement as follows:
 
(a)    A Change in Control occurs and Employee’s employment is Involuntarily
Terminated or terminated by Resignation for Good Reason within twenty-four (24)
months following the occurrence of the Change in Control; or

(b)    A Threatened Change in Control occurs and the Employee’s employment is
Involuntarily Terminated or terminated by Resignation for Good Reason during the
Threatened Change in Control Period.
 
4.    Benefits Upon Termination. If the Employee becomes eligible for benefits
under Section 3 above, subject to the Employee’s timely execution and return to
the Company of an effective general release of claims substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”), the Company shall pay or provide
to the Employee the following compensation and benefits:
 
(a)    Salary. The Employee will receive as severance an amount equal to his/her
Base Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination for a period of
twelve (12) months, such payment to be made in installments in accordance with
the Company’s standard payroll practices, such installments to commence, subject
to Section 9(i)(ii), on the first payroll date following the date on which the
Release is effective and is no longer subject to revocation), with the first
such installment payment to include any amounts otherwise payable between the
Employee’s date of termination and such first installment payment; provided,
that, if the period in which the Release can become effective and irrevocable
spans more than one taxable year, then such payments will not commence until the
later taxable year (and any amounts otherwise payable prior to such later
taxable year shall be paid together in a lump sum, with the first payment
occurring in such later taxable year). The Employee shall also receive a payment
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Employee’s target Bonus for the
fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs (or, if no target Bonus has
been assigned to the Employee as of the date of termination, the average Bonus
paid by the Company to the Employee for the last three (3) completed fiscal
years or for the number of completed fiscal years that Employee has been in the
employ of the Company if fewer than three, prior to the termination date), such
payment to be made, subject to Section 9(i)(ii), in a lump sum prior to the
later of thirty (30) days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which
the Employee’s date of termination occurs or the sixty (60) days following the
Employee’s date of termination. As used herein, a “Separation from Service”
occurs when the Employee dies, retires, or otherwise has a termination of
employment with the Company that constitutes a “separation from service” within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1), without regard to the
optional alternative definitions available thereunder.

(b)    Health, Dental, and Life Insurance Coverage. The health, dental, and life
insurance benefits coverage provided to the Employee at his/her date of
termination shall be continued by the Company during the twelve (12) month
period following the Employee’s date of termination unless the Employee
commences employment prior to the end of the twelve (12) month period and
qualifies for company-provided insurance benefits with the Employee’s new
employer, in which case, such insurance coverages shall end on the date of
qualification.  The Employee shall inform the Company promptly of his/her
qualification for any of such insurance coverages.  The Company shall provide
for such insurance coverages at its expense at the same level, at the same
pre-tax cost to the Employee, and in the same manner as if the Employee’s

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

employment had not terminated (subject to the customary changes in such
coverages if the Employee retires under a Company retirement plan, reaches age
65, or similar events and subject to Employee’s right to make any changes in
such coverages that an active employee is permitted to make). Any additional
coverages the Employee had at termination, including dependent coverage, will
also be continued for such period on the same terms, to the extent permitted by
the applicable policies or contracts. Any pre-tax costs the Employee was paying
for such coverages at the time of termination shall be paid by the Employee by
separate check payable to the Company each month in advance. To the extent that
such continuation coverage would adversely affect the tax status of the plan
pursuant to which such continuation coverage is provided, or result in
taxability of benefits paid thereunder or penalty taxes to the Employee pursuant
to Section 409A of the Code or otherwise, the cost of such coverage shall be
reported by the Company as taxable income to the Employee. The COBRA healthcare
continuation coverage period under Section 4980B of the Code shall run
concurrently with the continuation coverage period specified herein. If the
Employee is covered by a split-dollar or similar life insurance program at the
date of termination, he shall have the option in his/her sole discretion to have
such policy transferred to him upon termination, provided that the Company is
paid for its interest in the policy upon such transfer.

(c)    Outplacement Services. The Company shall provide the Employee with
outplacement services by a firm selected by the Employee, at the expense of the
Company, in an amount up to $15,000. The outplacement expenses must be incurred
by the Employee no later than the December 31 of the second calendar year
following the calendar year in which Employee’s termination occurs and must be
paid by the Company no later than the last day of the third fiscal year
following the fiscal year in which Employee’s termination occurs.

(e)    No Mitigation Obligation. The Company hereby acknowledges that it will be
difficult and may be impossible for the Employee to find reasonably comparable
employment following termination of Employee’s employment by the Company and
that the non-solicitation covenant contained in Section 6 may further limit the
employment opportunities for the Employee.  Accordingly, the payment of the
compensation and benefits by the Company to the Employee in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement is hereby acknowledged by the Company to be reasonable,
and the Employee will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor will
any profits, income, earnings or other benefits from any source whatsoever
create any mitigation, offset, reduction or any other obligation on the part of
the Employee hereunder or otherwise, except as expressly provided in the first
sentence of Section 4(c).

5.    Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary, in the event that the compensation and benefits provided for in
this Agreement to Employee together with all other payments and the value of any
benefit received or to be received by Employee:

(a)    constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Code, and

(b)    but for this Section, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code, the Employee’s compensation and benefits pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement shall be payable either:

(i)    in full, or

(ii)    in such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such
compensation and benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the
Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts,

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Employee on an
after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of compensation and benefits under this
Agreement, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such compensation and
benefits may be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the
Code.  Unless the Company and Employee otherwise agree in writing, any
determination required under this Section 5 shall be made in writing by the
Company’s independent public accountants serving immediately before the Change
in Control (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and
binding upon Employee and the Company for all purposes.  For purposes of making
the calculations required by this Section 5, the Accountants may make reasonable
assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on
reasonable good faith interpretations concerning the applications of
Section 280G and 4999 of the Code.  The Company shall cause the Accountants to
provide detailed supporting calculations of its determination to Employee and
the Company.  Employee and the Company shall furnish to the Accountants such
information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to
make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the
Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations
contemplated by this Section 5.
 
6.    Obligation Not to Solicit
 
(a)    Employee hereby agrees that while Employee is receiving compensation and
benefits under this Agreement, Employee shall not in any manner attempt to
induce or assist others to attempt to induce any officer, employee, customer or
client of the Company to terminate its association with the Company, nor do
anything directly or indirectly to interfere with the relationship between the
Company and any such persons or concerns.
 
(b)    In the event that the Employee engages in any activity in violation of
Section 6(a), all compensation and benefits described in Section 4 shall
immediately cease.
 
7.    Confidentiality. The terms of this Agreement are to be of the highest
confidentiality. In order to insure and maintain such confidentiality, it is
agreed that neither party, including all persons and entities under a party’s
control, shall, directly or indirectly, publicize or disclose to third persons
the terms of this Agreement or the substance of negotiations with respect to it;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosures
which are reasonably necessary to enforce the terms of this Agreement or which
are otherwise required by law to be made to governmental agencies or others;
moreover, nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the parties hereto, or
their attorneys, from making such disclosures for legitimate business purposes
to their respective insurers, financial institutions, accountants and attorneys
or, in the case of a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, to
its respective officers, directors, employees, managers, members and agents or
any of its respective subsidiaries, group or divisions, provided that each such
recipient of such disclosures agrees to be bound by the requirements concerning
disclosure of confidential information as set forth in this Paragraph 7. For the
avoidance of doubt, nothing herein will be construed to prohibit the Employee
from filing a charge with, reporting possible violations to, or participating or
cooperating with any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Justice, the
Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, or any agency Inspector General,
or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower,
anti-discrimination, or anti-retaliation provisions of federal, state or local
law or regulation; provided, however, that the Employee may not disclose
information of the Company or any of its affiliates that is protected by the
attorney-client privilege, except as otherwise required by law. The Employee
does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or
disclosures, and the Employee is not required to notify the Company that he has
made such reports or disclosures.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.    Settlement of Disputes; Arbitration

(a)    All disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement
(including disputes over enforceability, interpretation, construction and breach
of this Agreement), shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Tarrant County,
Texas before an arbitrator selected by mutual agreement of the parties.  If the
parties are unable to agree mutually on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days
after a written demand for arbitration is made, the matter shall be submitted to
the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or successor organization for
binding arbitration in Tarrant County, Texas by a single arbitrator who shall be
a lawyer licensed to practice law in the state of Texas and Board Certified by
the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in labor and employment law. The
arbitrator shall be selected by AAA in an impartial manner determined by its
rules.  Except as may be otherwise provided herein, the arbitration shall be
conducted under the Federal Arbitration Act and pursuant to the AAA’s Rules for
the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The arbitration hearing shall be
commenced within ninety (90) days of the appointment of the arbitrator, and a
decision shall be rendered by the arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the
conclusion of the hearing.  The arbitrator shall award costs of the proceeding,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the party or parties determined to have
substantially prevailed, but such award for attorneys’ fees shall not exceed One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).  Judgment on the award can be entered in a
court of competent jurisdiction.
 
(b)    The foregoing notwithstanding, if the amount in controversy exceeds
$200,000, exclusive of attorneys’ fees and costs, the matter shall be litigated
in the court located in federal or state district courts located in Tarrant
County, Texas as a regular civil action sitting without a jury (a jury being
waived by all parties hereto). The prevailing party shall be entitled to receive
its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the other party, but such award
for attorneys’ fees shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

9.    Miscellaneous

(a)    Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted under
this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and shall be deemed

(b)    Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective executors, administrators,
heirs, personal representatives, and successors, but, except as hereinafter
provided, neither this Agreement nor any right hereunder may be assigned or
transferred by either party thereto, or by any beneficiary or any other person,
nor be subject to alienation, anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance,
execution, levy, or other legal process of any kind against

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Employee, his/her beneficiary or any other person. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any person or business entity succeeding to substantially all of the
business of the Company by purchase, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or
otherwise, shall be bound by and shall adopt and assume this Agreement and the
Company shall cause the assumption of this Agreement by such successor. If
Employee shall die while any amount would still be payable to Employee hereunder
(other than amounts that, by their terms, terminate upon the death of Employee)
if Employee had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided
herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the
executors, personal representatives or administrators of Employee’s estate.

(c)    No Obligation to Fund. The agreement of the Company (or its successor) to
make payments to the Employee hereunder shall represent solely the unsecured
obligation of the Company (and its successor), except to the extent the Company
(or its successors) in its sole discretion elects in whole or in part to fund
its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a trust arrangement or
otherwise.
 
(d)    Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving
effect to conflict of law principles.

(e)    Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended by a written instrument
signed by the parties hereto, which makes specific reference to this Agreement.

(f)    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable any other provisions hereof.

(g)    Withholding. The Company shall have the right to withhold any and all
local, state and federal taxes which may be withheld in accordance with
applicable law.

(h)    Employment Rights; Entire Agreement. Nothing expressed or implied in this
Agreement will create any right or duty on the part of the Company or the
Employee to have the Employee remain in the employment of the Company or any
Subsidiary prior to or following any Change in Control.  This Agreement contains
the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements,
communications, representations and warranties between them, whether written or
oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. In furtherance, and not in
limitation, of the foregoing, the Employee hereby agrees that in consideration
for the payments and benefits to be received under this Agreement, the Employee
waives any and all rights to any payments or benefits under any plans, programs,
contracts or arrangements of the Company or its affiliates that provide for
severance or termination payments or benefits upon a termination of employment.

(i)    Section 409A

(i)    It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement shall either
be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code (including the Treasury
regulations and other published guidance relating thereto) (“Code Section 409A”)
so as not to subject the Employee to payment of any additional tax, penalty or
interest imposed under Code Section 409A. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be construed and interpreted to avoid the imputation of any such additional tax,
penalty or interest under Code Section 409A yet preserve (to the nearest extent
reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable to the Employee.

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, with
respect to any payment or benefit pursuant to Section 4 that constitutes
nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, if the Employee
is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-1(i) as of the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, the
Employee shall not be entitled to any such payment or benefit until the earlier
of (i) the date which is six (6) months after the Employee’s Separation from
Service for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of the Employee’s
death. Any amounts otherwise payable to the Employee upon or in the six (6)
month period following the Employee’s Separation from Service that are not so
paid by reason of this Section 9(i)(ii) shall be paid (without interest) as soon
as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that
is six (6) months after the Employee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier,
as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30) days, after the
date of the Employee’s death). The provisions of this Section 9(i)(ii) shall
only apply if, and to the extent, required to avoid the imputation of any tax,
penalty or interest pursuant to Code Section 409A.

(iii)    To the extent that any benefits or reimbursements pursuant to Section
4(b) or Section 4(c) are taxable to the Employee, any reimbursement payment due
to the Employee pursuant to any such provision shall be paid to the Employee on
or before the last day of the Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year
in which the related expense was incurred. The benefits and reimbursements
pursuant to such provisions are not subject to liquidation or exchange for
another benefit and the amount of such benefits and reimbursements that the
Employee receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such
benefits or reimbursements that the Employee receives in any other taxable year.
