[Insert Name of Participant ]

In accordance with the terms of the John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. 2014 Omnibus
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to action of the Board of John B.
Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company hereby grants to you (the
“Recipient”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Restricted
Stock Unit Award Agreement (including Annex A hereto), Restricted Stock Units
(“RSUs”), as set forth below.

Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms shall have the meanings specified
in the Plan. The terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated by reference
and govern except to the extent that, when permitted by the Plan, this RSU Award
Agreement provides otherwise.

Each RSU corresponds to one Share and is an unfunded and unsecured promise by
the Company to deliver such Share on a future date as set forth herein. Until
such delivery, you only have the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the
Company and not as a stockholder with respect to the Shares underlying your
RSUs.

 

Number of RSUs Granted:    [#] Date of Grant:    [xx/xx/xxxx] Period of
Restriction:    Date of Grant through the date of the Company’s fiscal _____
Annual Meeting of stockholders. Share Payment Date:    Each RSU for which the
Period of Restrictions has lapsed will convert to one Share on the day following
the Recipient’s Termination of Service, with the Share being delivered to the
Recipient as soon as administratively possible thereafter (but no later than 60
days thereafter).

Dividend Equivalents:    During the period from the first day after the Period
of Restriction through the Share Payment Date, each RSU shall include a right to
Dividend Equivalents, if any, issuable during such period and for which the
applicable record date occurs during such period. Such Dividend Equivalents
shall be paid to the Recipient on a current basis. “Dividend Equivalents” are
dividends or property distributions that would have been made in respect of each
Share underlying an RSU (other than dividends or distributions of securities to
the extent covered in Section 4.4 of the Plan).

RSUs are subject to forfeiture as provided herein (including Annex A) and the
Plan.

Further terms and conditions of your Award of RSUs are set forth in Annex A,
which is an integral part of this RSU Award Agreement.

By accepting this Award, you hereby acknowledge the receipt of a copy of this
RSU Award Agreement including Annex A, and a copy of the Plan and agree to be
bound by all terms and provisions hereof and thereto.

Annex A

Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

Further Terms and Conditions of Award. It is understood and agreed that the
Award of RSUs evidenced by the RSU Award Agreement to which this is annexed is
subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

 

  1. Termination of Service. Upon the Recipient’s Termination of Service, all
unvested RSUs, (RSUs for which the Period of Restriction has not lapsed) shall
be treated as follows:

 

  a. Death or Permanent Disability – If the Recipient’s Termination of Service
is on account of death or Disability, then all of the unvested RSUs shall
immediately become nonforfeitable and the restrictions with respect to the RSUs
shall lapse as of the date of death or the date the Compensation Committee of
the Company (the “Committee”) determines that a Disability occurred;

 

  b. Retirement – If the Recipient’s Termination of Service is on account of
Retirement, then all unvested RSUs shall immediately become nonforfeitable and
the restrictions with respect to such RSUs shall lapse as of the date of such
Termination of Service; and

 

  c. Any Other Reason – If the Recipient’s Termination of Service is on account
of any other reason, then all unvested RSUs shall be forfeited as of the end of
the day of such Termination of Service.

 

  2. Fractional Shares. If any calculation of Shares to be awarded or to be
forfeited or to be released from restrictions or limitations would result in a
fraction, any fraction of 0.5 or greater will be rounded to one, and any
fraction of less than 0.5 will be rounded to zero.

 

  3. Ratification of Actions. By accepting the RSU Award or other benefit under
the Plan, the Recipient and each person claiming under or through him shall be
conclusively deemed to have indicated the Recipient’s acceptance and
ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan or the RSU
Award by the Company, the Board or the Committee.

 

  4. Notices. Any notice hereunder to the Company shall be addressed to its Vice
President, Human Resources, and any notice hereunder to Recipient shall be
addressed to him or her at the address contained in the Company’s records,
subject to the right of either party to designate at any time hereafter in
writing some other address.

 

  5. Nontransferability. Recipient may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or
otherwise dispose of the RSUs covered by this RSU Award Agreement, other than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution until the Share Payment Date.

  6. Governing Law and Severability. This RSU Award Agreement shall be subject
to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any
governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. To
the extent not preempted by Federal law, the RSU Award Agreement will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
without regard to conflicts of law provisions. The provisions of this RSU Award
Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be
illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining
provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

 

  7. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the RSU Award
Agreement or in this Annex A attached thereto shall have the meanings given them
in the Plan.

 

  8. Code Section 409A. It is intended that this RSU Award Agreement will comply
with Code Section 409A to the extent applicable, and the Plan and the RSU Award
Agreement shall be interpreted and construed on a basis consistent with such
intent. The RSU Award Agreement may be amended in any respect deemed necessary
(including retroactively) by the Committee in order to preserve compliance with
(or exemption from) Code Section 409A. The preceding shall not be construed as a
guarantee of any particular tax effect for any benefits or amounts deferred or
paid pursuant to this RSU Award Agreement.

 

  9. Waiver. The Recipient and every person claiming under or through the
Recipient hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any
right to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly
arising out of, under, or in connection with the Plan or this RSU Award
Agreement issued pursuant to the Plan.

 

  10. Interpretation. The Committee shall have final authority to interpret and
construe the Plan and this RSU Award Agreement and to make any and all
determinations thereunder, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon
the Recipient and his/her legal representative in respect of any questions
arising under the Plan or this RSU Award Agreement.

 

  11. Securities Laws. The Recipient acknowledges that certain restrictions
under state or federal securities laws may apply with respect to the Shares
underlying the RSUs granted pursuant to this RSU Award Agreement, even after the
Shares have been delivered to the Recipient. Specifically, Recipient
acknowledges that, to the extent he or she is an “affiliate” of the Company (as
that term is defined by the Securities Act of 1933), the Shares underlying the
RSUs granted pursuant to this RSU Award Agreement are subject to certain trading
restrictions under applicable securities laws (including particularly the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 144). Recipient hereby agrees to
execute such documents and take such actions as the Company may reasonably
require with respect to state and federal securities laws and any restrictions
on the resale of such shares which may pertain under such laws.
