 THIS AGREEMENT, dated the
             day of                         ,
            , between Alliance One International, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), and
             (“Participant”), is made pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Company’s 2007 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which has been made
available to the Participant. All terms used herein that are defined in the Plan have the same meaning given them in the Plan. 
 1. Award
of Stock Units. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Company, on                     ,
             (the “Date of Award”), awarded the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and subject further to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, a Stock Unit Award covering              shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Restricted Stock Units”). 
 2. Terms and Conditions. 
 a. Vesting. Except as provided in paragraph 2(e), the Participant’s interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall vest and become non-forfeitable on the first date that one of the requirements in the following sentence is
satisfied. The requirements of this sentence are satisfied if the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Award until the earliest of (i) the third anniversary of the Date of Award,
(ii) the date of the Participant’s death, (iii) the date that the Participant’s employment ends on account of Disability or (iv) the date of a Change in Control. Restricted Stock Units that have not vested in accordance with
the two preceding sentences shall be forfeited, and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, upon the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates. 

b. Settlement. If the Participant vests in the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to paragraph 2(a), the Restricted Stock Units
shall be automatically redeemed by the Company in accordance with this paragraph. As soon as practicable after the Restricted Stock Units vest, but in any event no later than December 31 in the calendar year in which the Restricted Stock Units
vest, the Company will issue to the Participant (or his estate, if the Participant is deceased) one whole share of Common Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Restricted Stock Units become vested
pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of paragraph 2(a) at any time in October, November or December, the deadline for issuing shares shall be March 15 in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Restricted
Stock Units vest. 
 c. Transferability. Common Stock issued pursuant to paragraph 2(b) may not be sold, anticipated,
assigned, pledged, gifted or otherwise transferred until the earliest of (i) the date the Participant attains age 60, (ii) the seventh anniversary of the date the Restricted Stock Units became vested or (iii) the date that the
Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates. Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, shares of Common Stock may be surrendered to, or withheld by, the Company in accordance with procedures established by the
Company to satisfy income and employment taxes attributable to the vesting of Restricted Stock Units and delivery of Common Stock pursuant to this Section. 







 d. Custody of Certificates. Custody of stock certificates evidencing the shares of
Common Stock delivered to the Participant pursuant to paragraph 2(b) will be retained by the Company until the shares become transferable pursuant to paragraph 2(c). The Company shall deliver the stock certificates evidencing the shares to the
Participant as soon as practicable after the date that the transfer restrictions applicable to the Participant lapse in accordance with paragraph 2(b). 
 e. Misconduct. The Committee shall have the authority to cancel, rescind, cause the forfeiture of or otherwise limit or restrict any non-vested Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement if the
Committee determines that the Participant has (i) violated the Company’s Code of Conduct (as in effect from time to time); (ii) violated any law (other than misdemeanor traffic violations) and thereby injured or damaged the business
reputation or prospects of the Company or an Affiliate; or (iii) engaged in intentional misconduct that caused, or materially contributed to, the need for a substantial restatement (voluntary or required) of the Company’s financial
statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the foregoing enumerated items being hereinafter referred to, individually or collectively, as a “Prohibited Activity”). 
 Furthermore, in the event the Committee in its discretion determines that the Participant has engaged in a Prohibited Activity at any time prior to or
during the six months after any vested shares of Common Stock awarded hereunder have become transferable pursuant to paragraph 2(c) (hereinafter, “Transferable Shares”), the Committee may rescind the issuance of and lapse of transfer
restrictions with respect to such Transferable Shares, provided the Committee takes such action by the later of (i) two years after the date the Transferable Shares became transferable pursuant to paragraph 2(c), or (ii) two years after
the occurrence of the Prohibited Activity. Upon such rescission, the Company at its sole option may require the Participant to (a) deliver and convey to the Company the Transferable Shares; (b) in the case of Transferable Shares that have
been sold or otherwise disposed of by the Participant, pay to the Company an amount equal to the proceeds from the sale of such Transferable Shares; (c) pay to the Company an amount equal to the market price of the Transferable Shares (as of
the date the Transferable Shares became transferable pursuant to paragraph 2(c)); or (d) pay to the Company an amount equal to the market price of the Transferable Shares (as of the date the Transferable Shares were issued pursuant to paragraph
2(b)). The Company shall be entitled to set-off any such amount owed to the Company against any amount or benefit owed to the Participant by the Company, and the Participant shall forfeit the amount or benefit applied to set-off such amount owed to
the Company. Further, if the Company commences an action against such Participant (by way of claim or counterclaim and including declaratory claims), in which it is preliminarily or finally determined that such Participant engaged in a Prohibited
Activity or otherwise violated the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement, the Participant shall reimburse the Company for all costs and fees incurred in such action, including but not limited to, the Company’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees. 
 f. Stock Power. With respect to shares of Common Stock subject to rescission under paragraph
2(e), the Participant does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Alliance One International, Inc. Corporate Secretary or the Vice President Compensation & Benefits as his attorney to transfer on the books of the Company, with full
power of substitution in the premises, any shares of Common Stock the issuance or delivery of which is rescinded in 

  

 -2- 








 
accordance with this Agreement. Such person or persons shall use the authority granted in this paragraph 2(f) to cancel any shares of Common Stock the
issuance or delivery of which is rescinded under paragraph 2(e). 
 3. Shareholder Rights. The Participant will have no voting,
dividend or other stockholder rights with respect to Restricted Stock Units. With respect to Common Stock issued to the Participant pursuant to paragraph 2(b), the Participant will be treated as a stockholder and shall have applicable voting,
dividend and other stockholder rights beginning on the actual date of issue. 
 4. Assignability. The Restricted Stock Units,
including any interest therein, shall not be transferable or assignable, except by the Participant’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Restricted Stock Units have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any applicable state securities laws and no transfer or assignment of the Restricted Stock Units (or any Common Stock issued pursuant thereto) may be made in the absence of an effective registration statement under such laws or the
availability of an exemption from the registration provisions thereof in respect of such transfer or assignment. 
 5. Disability. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means that the Participant has ceased active employment with the Company and its Affiliates on account of a permanent and total disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

 6. Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection
with any payment made or benefit realized by the Participant or other person under this Agreement, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the
realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld. In accordance with procedures established by the Company, the
Company may withhold from Common Stock delivered to the Participant, sufficient shares of Common Stock (valued as of the preceding day) to satisfy withholding and employment taxes, or the Company shall direct the Participant to pay to the Company in
cash or Common Stock (valued as of the day preceding the payment) sufficient amounts or shares to satisfy such obligation. 
 7. No Right
to Employment. The Plan and this Agreement will not confer upon the Participant any right with respect to the continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any Affiliate and will not interfere in any way with any right that the
Company or any Affiliate would otherwise have to terminate any employment or other service of the Participant at any time. For purposes of this Agreement, the continuous employ of the Participant with the Company or an Affiliate shall not be deemed
interrupted, and the Participant shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company or any Affiliate by reason of (a) the transfer of his or her employment among the Company and its Affiliates or (b) an approved leave of
absence. 
 8. Not Part of Regular Compensation. This Agreement shall not be construed as a guarantee that the Participant will earn
or accrue a benefit. The Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Restricted Stock Units and any benefits that may be earned with respect thereto are not and shall not be treated as part of the Participant’s regular compensation for any
purpose. 
 9. Relation to Other Benefits. Except as specifically provided, any economic or other benefit to the Participant under
this Agreement or the Plan will not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Participant may be entitled under any profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliate and
will not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company or an Affiliate.

 10. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Company intends that amounts realized by or
payable to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall not be included in income for federal, state or local income tax purposes until the benefits are actually paid or delivered to the Participant. The Company further intends that all amounts
realized by or payable to the Participant or any other party pursuant to this Agreement will qualify as short-term deferrals within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and will not be treated as “deferred compensation” for
purposes of Code Section 409A. However, the Committee and the Company and its Affiliates do not represent or guarantee to any Participant that any particular federal or state income, payroll or other tax treatment will result from the
Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant is solely responsible for the proper tax reporting and timely payment of any income tax or interest for which the Participant is liable as a result of this Agreement and the
Participant’s participation in the Plan. 
 11. Change in Capital Structure. The terms of this Agreement are subject to
adjustment by the Committee in accordance with Article XII of the Plan. 
 12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. 
 13. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan as in effect
on the Date of Award and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. All references herein to the Plan shall mean the Plan as in effect on the Date of Award. 
 14. Participant Bound by Plan. Participant hereby acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available to the Participant and agrees to be
bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. 
 15. Binding Effect. Subject to the limitations stated above and in the Plan, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the legatees, distributees, and personal representatives of the Participant and the successors of the Company. 
 16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement should for any reason be declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then this Agreement and the grant of Restricted Stock Units
hereunder shall be deemed invalid and unenforceable in its entirety due to failure of consideration. 
 17. Committee Discretion. The
Committee shall have all of the powers granted under the Plan, including but not limited to the authority and discretion to interpret the provisions of this Agreement and to make any decisions or take any actions necessary or advisable for the
administration of this Agreement. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be signed by a duly authorized officer, and
Participant has affixed his signature hereto.
