Exhibit 10.7

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

This Agreement between Steven A. Davis (“Executive”) and Bob Evans Farms, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Corporation”), was originally effective May 1, 2006 (“Effective Date”). The
Parties hereby amend and restate this Agreement in its entirety effective December 24, 2008 (the
“Restatement Effective Date”).

1.00 PURPOSE

The Corporation believes that [1] a sound and stable management team is essential to promoting the
best interests of the Group and the Corporation’s stockholders, [2] as is the case with many
publicly held corporations, a Change in Control may materially alter the Group’s structure and
adversely affect managers’ employment security, [3] appropriate steps should be taken to enable
certain managers, including the Executive, to devote their full and continued attention to the
Group’s business affairs during the crucial (and often tumultuous) period preceding and immediately
following a Change in Control and [4] subject to the terms of this Agreement, these objectives can
best be met by providing the Executive with the severance payments described in this Agreement.

2.00 DEFINITIONS

When used in this Agreement, the following terms will have the meanings given to them in this
section unless another meaning is expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement. When applying
these definitions, the form of any term or word will include any of its other forms.

2.01 Board. The Corporation’s board of directors.

2.02 Cause. The Executive’s [1] willful and continued refusal to substantially perform assigned
duties (other than any refusal resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), [2]
willful engagement in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to any Group Member or
[3] breach of any term of this Agreement. However, [4] Cause will not arise [a] solely because the
Executive is absent from active employment during periods of vacation, consistent with the
Employer’s applicable vacation policy, or other period of absence initiated by the Executive and
approved by the Employer or [b] due to any event that constitutes Good Reason.

2.03 Change in Control.

[1] Subject to the rules of application described in Section 2.03[2], the date on which the
earliest of the following events occurs:

[a] After the Effective Date, an event that would be required to be reported as a
change in control for purposes of the Exchange Act.

[b] During any 12-consecutive-calendar-month period ending after the Effective Date,
there is a change in a majority of the Incumbent Directors for
any reason other
than death or disability as reasonably established by the Corporation on the basis
of medical and other information known (or made available) to it.

 

 

[c] After the Effective Date, any entity or “person,” [including a “group” as
contemplated by Exchange Act §§13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2)] is or becomes the “beneficial
owner” [as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act], through a tender offer or
otherwise, of Common Shares representing 50 percent or more of the combined voting
power of the Corporation’s then outstanding Common Shares.

[d] During any 12-consecutive-calendar-month period ending after the Effective Date,
any entity or “person,” [including a “group” as contemplated by Exchange Act
§§13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2)] acquires, either directly or as a “beneficial owner” [as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act], through a tender offer or otherwise,
Common Shares representing more than 20 percent of the combined voting power of the
Corporation’s then outstanding Common Shares. However, this element of this
definition will be applied without regard to the effect of any redemption of Common
Shares by the Corporation or the acquisition of Common Shares by any Group Member
and after ignoring any Common Shares acquired:

[i] Before the beginning of any 12-consecutive-calendar-month measurement
period;

[ii] By or through an employee benefit plan [whether or not intended to
comply with Code §401(a) and whether or not the Executive participates in
that plan] maintained by any Group Member;

[iii] Directly, through an equity compensation plan maintained by any Group
Member;

[iv] Directly, through inheritance, gift, bequest or by operation of law on
the death of an individual; or

[v] By any entity or “person” [including a “group” as contemplated by
Exchange Act §§13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2)] with respect to which that acquirer
has filed SEC Schedule 13G indicating that the Common Shares were not
acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing
or influencing, directly or indirectly, the Corporation’s management or
policies, unless and until that entity or person indicates that its intent
has changed by filing SEC Schedule 13D.

[e] After the Effective Date, the Corporation’s stockholders approve a definitive
agreement to merge or combine the Corporation with or into another entity, a
majority of the directors of which were not Incumbent Directors immediately before
the merger and in which the Corporation’s stockholders will hold less than 50
percent of the voting power of the surviving entity. When applying this element of
this definition:

2

 

[i] Stockholders will be determined immediately before and immediately after
the merger or combination; and

[ii] The Common Shares owned before the transaction by the entity with which
the Corporation merges or combines will be disregarded for all purposes.

[f] Within any 12-consecutive-calendar-month period ending after the Effective Date,
any entity or “person” [including a “group” as contemplated by Exchange Act
§§13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) and Code §280G] acquires, either directly or as a
“beneficial owner” [as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act] of another
entity or person, Group assets having a total gross fair market value equal to or
greater than 50 percent of the book value of the Group’s assets. For purposes of
this definition, “book value” will be established on the basis of the latest
consolidated financial statement the Corporation filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission before the date any 12-consecutive calendar month measurement
period began. However, except as otherwise provided in this section, this element
of this definition will be applied after ignoring:

[i] Any transfer of assets to a stockholder of the Corporation (determined
immediately before the asset transfer), but only to the extent exchanged for
or with respect to the Corporation’s stock;

[ii] Any transfer of assets to an entity, 50 percent or more of the total
value or voting power of which is owned by one or more Group Members;

[iii] Any transfer of assets to any entity or “person” [including a “group”
as contemplated by Exchange Act §§13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2)] that, immediately
before the transfer, owns, directly or as a “beneficial owner” [as defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act], 50 percent or more of the total value
or voting power of the Corporation’s outstanding securities; or

[iv] Any transfer of assets to an entity, at least 50 percent or more of the
total value or voting power of which, immediately before the transfer, is
owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in Section 2.03[1][c]
of this definition.

[2] The following rules of application will be applied to this definition:

[a] For purposes of applying all parts of this definition, [i] Common Shares owned
or acquired by the Executive or by any other entity or “person” [including a “group”
as contemplated by Exchange Act §§13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2)] acting in
concert with the Executive will be disregarded, [ii] any transfer of assets to the
Executive or to any other entity or “person” [including a “group” as contemplated by
Exchange Act §§13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2)] acting in concert with the Executive will be
disregarded and [iii] the constructive ownership rules of Code §318(a) will be
applied to determine stock ownership;

3

 

[b] For purposes of applying Section 2.03[1][f], an entity’s or a person’s status
(unless specifically indicated otherwise) will be determined immediately after the
transfer of assets; and

[c] Any transfer of assets disregarded under Section 2.03[1][f][i] will not be
ignored when applying that subsection if that transaction is part of a larger
transaction or series of transactions that also involve the transfer of assets for
cash or consideration other than Common Shares.

2.04 Code. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor statute.

2.05 Common Shares. The Corporation’s shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or any
security of the Corporation issued in substitution, exchange or in place of these shares.

2.06 Confidential Information. Any and all information (other than information in the public
domain) related to the Group’s business or that of any Group Member, including all processes,
inventions, trade secrets, computer programs, engineering or technical data, drawings or designs,
manufacturing techniques, information concerning pricing and pricing policies, marketing
techniques, plans and forecasts, new product information, information concerning suppliers, methods
and manner of operations, and information relating to the identity and location of all past,
present and prospective customers.

2.07 Date of Termination. The date that the Executive incurs a Termination.

2.08 Disability. The Executive’s inability (established by an independent physician selected by
the Board and reasonably acceptable to the Executive or to the Executive’s legal representative)
due to illness, accident or otherwise to perform his duties, which is expected to be permanent or
for an indefinite duration longer than one year.

2.09 Effective Period. The 36 consecutive calendar months beginning on the date a Change in
Control occurs during the Term, even if that period extends beyond the Term.

2.10 Employer. The Group Member by which the Executive is directly employed on the date of any
event, act or occurrence described in this Agreement, including execution of this Agreement. If,
without incurring a Termination, the Executive becomes a common law employee of a Group Member
other than the Employer, that Group Member will automatically become the Executive’s “Employer”
under this Agreement and will be fully liable, as the Executive’s Employer, for all obligations
arising under this Agreement during the period of that employment relationship, including the
payment of any amount described in Section 5.00 that becomes due during the course of that
employment relationship.

4

 

2.11 Exchange Act. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor statute.

2.12 Good Reason. For purposes of Section 4.05, any of the following to which the Executive has
not consented in writing:

[1] Any breach of this Agreement of any nature whatsoever by or in behalf of the Group or
any Group Member;

[2] A reduction in the Executive’s title, duties, responsibilities or status, as compared to
either [a] the Executive’s title, duties, responsibilities or status as of the Restatement
Effective Date or [b] any enhanced or increased title, duties, responsibilities or status to
which the Executive accedes after the Restatement Effective Date;

[3] The assignment to the Executive of duties that are inconsistent with [a] the Executive’s
office immediately before the Restatement Effective Date or [b] any more senior office to
which the Executive is promoted after the Restatement Effective Date;

[4] During any calendar year ending after the Restatement Effective Date, a 10 percent (or
larger) reduction (other than a reduction attributable to any Termination for death,
Disability or Cause or for any period the Executive is temporarily absent from active
employment) in the highest of [a] the Executive’s total cash compensation for the preceding
calendar year or, if higher, [b] the Executive’s total cash compensation for the last
calendar year ending before the Restatement Effective Date, but [c] in both cases,
determined without regard to any amounts described in this Agreement;

[5] A requirement that the Executive relocate to a principal office or worksite (or accept
indefinite assignment) to a location more than 50 miles distant from [a] the principal
office or worksite to which the Executive was assigned as of the Restatement Effective Date
or [b] any location to which the Executive agreed to be assigned after the Restatement
Effective Date;

[6] The imposition on the Executive of business travel obligations substantially greater
than the Executive’s business travel obligations during the 12-consecutive-calendar-month
period ending before the Restatement Effective Date; provided that this subsection [6] shall
be applied without regard to any special business travel obligations associated with
activities relating to a Change in Control; or

[7] The Employer’s [a] failure to continue in effect any material fringe benefit or
compensation plan, retirement or deferred compensation plan, life insurance plan, health and
accident plan or disability plan in which the Executive is participating at the time of the
Restatement Effective Date, [b] modification of any of the plans or programs just described
that adversely affects the value of the Executive’s benefits under those plans, or [c]
failure to provide the Executive with the same number of paid vacation days to which the
Executive is or becomes entitled at or any time on or after the Restatement Effective Date
under the terms of the Employer’s vacation policy or program. However, Good
Reason will not arise under this subsection solely because [d] the Corporation or the
Employer terminates or modifies any program on or after the Restatement Effective Date
solely to comply with applicable law but only to the extent of the change required or [e] a
plan or benefit program expires under self-executing terms contained in that plan or benefit
program before the Restatement Effective Date.

Information for the Executive’s own benefit or to divulge, disclose or communicate any Confidential
Information to any person or entity in any manner except [1] to employees or agents of the Employer
or of the Corporation that need the Confidential Information to perform their duties on behalf of

[1] If that breach occurs before a Change in Control, this Agreement will terminate as of
the date of the breach, even if the fact of the breach becomes apparent at a later date;

Disability.

[2] If the Executive’s employment Terminates due to the Executive’s Disability and the Date

before or after the Effective Period began), then, as of the Date of Termination, [a] this
Agreement will terminate and [b] the Executive will be entitled to receive an amount equal
to:

[i] The amount described in Section 5.00, calculated on the basis of the
compensation paid to the Executive before the absence began or, if higher, the
amount the Executive was receiving during the period of absence; minus

7

 

[ii] The value of:

[A] One half of the disability benefit payable under the Social Security Act
of 1935, as amended;

[B] The amount by which the Executive’s employer-funded benefit under any
retirement or deferred compensation plan [whether or not intended to comply
with Code §401(a)] is enhanced by the Disability; and

[C] The value of any employer-funded disability income or other benefits the
Executive is entitled to receive from any disability plan or program.

The value of these reductions:

[D] Will be calculated by applying the factors described in Section 5.02[4];
and

[E] Will be applied before application of Section 5.02[1] or [2].

4.04 Termination Without Cause.

[1] The Employer may Terminate the Executive without Cause for any reason by delivering to
the Executive a Notice of Termination.

[2] The Corporation will pay or provide (or cause the Employer to pay or provide) to the

is Terminated by the Employer without Cause and:

[a] the Date of Termination is within the period beginning six months before the
beginning of an Effective Period and ending on the day before a Change in Control

event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5) (“Section 409A
Change in Control Event”); or

[b] the Date of Termination is within an Effective Period.

After any such payments and benefits have been paid or provided, this Agreement will

4.05 Termination for Good Reason.

[1] The Executive may Terminate for Good Reason by delivering to the Corporation a Notice of
Termination for Good Reason specifying the basis upon which the Executive believes that Good
Reason has arisen; provided that the Corporation does not cure such Good Reason event within
30 days after the Notice of Termination is delivered.

8

 

[2] The Corporation will pay or provide (or cause the Employer to pay or provide) to the
Executive the payments and benefits described in Section 5.00 if the Executive Terminates
for Good Reason and:

beginning of an Effective Period and ending on the day before a Change in Control
occurs; provided that such Change in Control also constitutes a Section 409A Change
in Control Event; or

[b] the Date of Termination is within an Effective Period.

After any such payments and benefits have been paid or provided, this Agreement will
terminate and no further amounts will be paid or due under this Agreement.

5.00 CHANGE IN CONTROL PAYMENTS

5.01 Calculation of Change in Control Payments. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the
Executive is Terminated under Section 4.03[2], 4.04 or 4.05, the Corporation (or the Employer)
will:

[1] Continue to pay the Executive’s compensation and other benefits through the Date of
Termination and also will pay the Executive the value of any unused vacation and
compensation days determined under the Employer’s personnel policy. These amounts will be
paid no later than 30 days after the Executive’s Date of Termination and will be based on
the rate of compensation and value of benefits in effect before the Notice of Termination
was delivered.

[2] Pay to the Executive an amount equal to the sum of:

[a] 299 percent of the Executive’s “base amount” as defined under Code §280G
[whether or not the Change in Control generating benefits under this Agreement is a
“change in control” as defined under Code §280G]; plus

[b] An additional amount equal to:

[i] The annual cash bonus paid to the Executive by all Group Members
averaged over the three full fiscal years ending before the Date
of Termination (or, if shorter, over the full period of the Executive’s
employment by all Group Members); multiplied by

[ii] The number of days between the Executive’s Date of Termination and the
last day of the Corporation’s last complete fiscal year ending before that
Date of Termination; and divided by

[iii] 365 days.

Subject to Sections 5.02 and 5.03[4], the amount payable under this subsection [2]
will be paid in separate, equal monthly payments over a twenty-four month period,
beginning no more than 30 days after the Executive’s Date of Termination (or, if
later, the date of the occurrence of the Change in Control). The first monthly
payment under this subsection will be accompanied by a Notice of Payment.

9

 

[3] For 36 months after the Executive’s Date of Termination, the Corporation also will
maintain (or cause the Employer to maintain) in full force and effect, for the Executive’s
continued benefit (and that of all family members and other dependents who were enrolled in
the programs on the Executive’s Date of Termination) all life, medical and dental insurance
programs in which the Executive (or members of the Executive’s family or other dependents)
was participating or was covered immediately before the Executive’s Date of Termination. If
the terms of any of the programs just described do not allow the continued participation
described in the preceding sentence, the Corporation (or the Employer) will [a] provide
benefits that are substantially similar (including eligibility conditions, conditions on
benefits, the value of benefits and the scope of coverage) to those provided by the life,
medical and dental insurance programs in which the Executive, members of the Executive’s
family and dependents were participating immediately before the Executive’s Date of
Termination and [b] ensure that any eligibility or other conditions on benefits under these
programs, including deductibles and co-payments, will be administered by applying the
Executive’s experience under any predecessor program in which the Executive (or members of
the Executive’s family and dependents) were participating before Termination. With respect
to this Section 5.01[3], any benefits or payments relating to medical and dental insurance
that are provided after completion of the applicable continuation period permitted under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, as amended, and any benefits or payments
relating to life insurance shall be subject to the following: [i] the benefits or payments
provided during any taxable year of the Executive may not affect the benefits or payments to
be provided to the Executive in any other taxable year; [ii] reimbursement of any eligible
expense must be made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the
taxable year in which the expense was incurred; and [iii] the right to such benefits or
payments is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit or payment.

In addition to the payments and benefits described above, the Executive shall receive any other
change in control benefits to which the Executive is entitled under any other plan, program or
agreement with any Group Member. Such benefits shall be provided in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the applicable plan, program or agreement.

5.02 Effect of Code §280G. If the sum of the amounts described in Section 5.01 and those promised
under any other plan, program or agreement between the Executive and any Group Member constitute
“excess parachute payments” as defined in Code §280G(b)(1), in the Corporation’s sole discretion,
the Corporation (or the Employer) will either:

[1] Reimburse the Executive for the amount of any excise tax due under Code §4999, if this
procedure provides the Executive with an after-tax amount that is greater than the after-tax
amount produced under Section 5.02[2]; or

10

 

[2] Reduce the Executive’s payments under this Agreement so that the Executive’s total
payments under this and any all other agreements will be $1.00 less than the amount that
would trigger the excise tax under Code §4999 if this procedure provides the Executive with
an after-tax amount that is greater than the after-tax amount produced under Section
5.02[1].

[3] Any reimbursement by the Corporation pursuant to Section 5.02[1] shall be made no later
than the end of the taxable year of the Executive next following the taxable year of the
Executive in which the Executive remits the related taxes. Any reduction pursuant to
Section 5.02[2] shall be made in accordance with Code §409A and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder.

[4] The value of all amounts due under this Agreement will be established by a nationally
recognized certified public accounting firm designated by the Corporation and by applying
principles, assumptions and procedures consistent with Code §280G.

5.03 Conditions Affecting Payments.

[1] Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Executive’s right to receive the
payments described in this Agreement will not decrease the amount of, or otherwise adversely
affect, any other benefits payable to the Executive under any plan, agreement or arrangement
between the Executive and any Group Member.

[2] The Executive is not required to mitigate the amount of any payment described in this
Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor will the amount of any payment or
benefit provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation the Executive earns in
any capacity after Termination or, except as provided in Sections 4.03 and 8.04, by reason
of the Executive’s receipt of or right to receive any retirement or other benefits on or
after Termination.

[3] The amount of any payment made under this Agreement will be reduced by amounts the
Employer is required to withhold with respect to any income, wage or employment taxes
imposed on the payment.

[4] Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is a
“specified employee” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(i) and as
determined under the Corporation’s policy for determining specified employees) on the Date
of Termination and the Executive is entitled to a payment and/or a benefit under this
Agreement that is required to be delayed pursuant to Code §409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then such
payment or benefit, as the case may be, shall not be paid or provided (or begin to be paid
or provided) until the first business day of the seventh month following the Date of
Termination or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death. The first payment that can
be made to the Executive following such postponement period shall include the cumulative
amount of any payments or benefits that could not be paid or provided during such
postponement period due to the application of Code §409A(a)(2)(B)(i).

11

 

5.04 Limit on Number of Changes in Control. Regardless of any provision of this Agreement, if more
than one Change in Control (whether or not related) occurs during the Term, the total amount
payable under this Agreement will be the largest amount (after application of Section 5.02[1] or
[2]) calculated with respect to any single change in control occurring during the Effective Period.

6.00 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

6.01 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended at any time by written agreement between the
Executive and the Corporation.

6.02 Termination. This Agreement will terminate on the earliest of the following to occur:

[1] Except to the extent necessary to implement the eligibility provisions of Sections
4.04[2][a] and 4.05[2][a] (dealing with a Termination without Cause or a Termination for
Good Reason within the period beginning six months before a Change in Control), the
Executive’s employment with all Group Members is Terminated before a Change in Control;

[2] The Corporation and the Executive mutually agree, in writing, to terminate this
Agreement, whether or not it is replaced with a similar agreement;

[3] The Corporation notifies the Executive, in writing, that the Agreement is to terminate
at the end of its then current Term. To be effective, however, this written notice [a] must
be given at least 60 days prior to the end of the then current Term but [b] may never be
effective [i] during an Effective Period or [ii] at any time after the Corporation learns
that activities have begun that, if completed, would cause a Change in Control, although the
notice may be given if those activities end without generating a Change in Control;

[4] All payments due under this Agreement have been fully paid; or

[5] As provided in Section 4.00.

7.00 EQUITABLE RELIEF/DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.01 Uniqueness of Obligations. The Executive’s obligations described in this Agreement are of a
special and unique character which gives them a peculiar value to the Group and the Group cannot be
reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law if the Executive breaches those
obligations. The Executive therefore expressly agrees that, in addition to any other rights or
remedies that the Corporation, the Employer or the Group may have, the Corporation, the Employer
and the Group will be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief in the form of preliminary
and permanent injunctions without bond or other security if the Executive actually breaches (or
threatens to breach) any obligation under this Agreement.

12

 

7.02 Initial Resolution of Disputes Affecting Payment Amount.

[1] The Executive may request the Corporation to recalculate the amount of payments due
under this Agreement. That request must [a] be filed in writing no later than 30 days after
the Executive receives the Notice of Payment and [b] specify the basis upon which the
Executive believes that an additional amount is due. Any request for recalculation that
does not comply with both requirements will be ineffective.

[2] Within 30 days of receiving a request that complies with Section 7.02[1], the
Corporation will notify the Executive of any changes to its calculations and the effect of
any changes on the amount payable to the Executive. If the Corporation does not deliver
this information to the Executive within this 30-day period, the Executive may regard the
request as having been denied.

[3] The Executive expressly waives any right to proceed under Section 7.03 to dispute the
calculation of the amount payable under this Agreement unless and until the administrative
remedies described in this Section 7.02 are fully exhausted.

7.03 Arbitration. Any [a] disagreement concerning the calculation of any payment due under this
Agreement that is not resolved after utilizing the procedures described in Section 7.02, [b] breach
of any term of this Agreement or [c] other dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to
this Agreement, including the basis on which the Executive is Terminated, will be resolved by
arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The award of the
arbitrator will be final, conclusive and nonappealable and judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator must be an
arbitrator qualified to serve in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association
and one who is approved by the Corporation and the Executive. If the Executive and the Corporation
fail to agree on an arbitrator, each must designate a person qualified to serve as an arbitrator in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association and these persons will select the
arbitrator from among those persons qualified to serve in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Any arbitration relating to this Agreement will be held in the city in
which the Executive’s last principal place of employment with a Group Member before the Executive’s
Date of Termination is or was located or another place the Parties mutually select immediately
before the arbitration.

7.04 Costs.

[1] The Corporation will bear all reasonable costs associated with any dispute arising under
this Agreement, including reasonable accounting and legal fees incurred by the Executive
through any proceeding described in Section 7.02 or 7.03, subject to the following
requirements: [a] such costs are incurred during the Executive’s remaining lifetime; [b] any
reimbursement or payment of such costs shall be made on or before the last day of the
Executive’s taxable year following the Executive’s taxable year in which the costs were
incurred; provided, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to reimburse or pay any such
costs for which the Executive fails to submit an invoice at least 10 business days before
the end of the Executive’s taxable year following the Executive’s taxable year in which the
costs were incurred; [c] the amount of the costs eligible for payment or reimbursement
during any taxable year of the Executive may not affect the costs eligible for reimbursement
or payment in any other taxable year; and [d] the right to payment or reimbursement of such
costs may not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

13

 

[2] Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts will be paid under this subsection to the
extent that those payments are “excess parachute payments.”

7.05 Payment During Dispute Resolution Period. If otherwise due, the Corporation may not defer (or
cause the Employer to defer) payment of any amount that is not being contested under Section 7.02
or 7.03.

8.00 MISCELLANEOUS

8.01 Security. At any time during the Term, the Corporation may provide (or cause the Employer to
provide) security for payment of the amounts and benefits described in Section 5.00. This security
may include one or more of [1] a stand-by letter of credit issued by a reputable financial
institution, [2] an irrevocable grantor trust (the “Trust”) established on terms the Corporation
believes to be appropriate, including a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (or opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Corporation), to the effect that any funds held by the Trust will be
includible in the Executive’s gross income only for the taxable year or years paid to the Executive
under the terms of the Trust’s related trust agreement or [3] any other form of security the
Corporation believes is appropriate.

8.02 Nonassignment. The right of the Executive or any other person to receive any amount under
this Agreement may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered except by will or by
applicable laws of descent and distribution. Any attempt to assign, transfer, pledge or encumber
any amount that is or may be receivable under this Agreement will be null and void and of no legal
effect.

8.03 Successors to the Executive. Subject to Section 8.02, this Agreement inures to the benefit of
and may be enforced by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

8.04 Effect of Employment Agreement. If, at any time during the period beginning six months before
any Effective Period and ending on the last day of the same Effective Period, the
Executive is employed by an Employer pursuant to an employment agreement (“Employment Agreement”),
the following rules of application will be applied:

[1] Subject to Section 8.04[2], if a term is defined in this Agreement and in the Employment
Agreement and those definitions are not identical, [a] the definition contained in this
Agreement will supersede the definition contained in the Employment Agreement for purposes
of applying that term under this Agreement and [b] the definition contained in the
Employment Agreement will supersede the definition contained in this Agreement for purposes
of applying that term under the Employment Agreement;

14

 

[2] If, prior to a Change in Control that also constitutes a Section 409A Change in Control
Event, the Executive’s employment with all Group Members is Terminated by the Employer
without Cause (as defined in this Agreement) or if the Executive Terminates with Good Reason
(as defined in this Agreement), this Agreement will not Terminate until six months after the
Executive’s Termination. If a Change in Control that also constitutes a Section 409A Change
in Control Event occurs during this six-month period, the Corporation will pay or provide
(or cause the Employer to pay or provide) to the Executive the amounts and benefits
described in Section 5.00 (adjusted as provided in Section 8.04[3]). After those amounts
and benefits have been paid and provided, this Agreement will terminate and no further
amounts will be paid or due under this Agreement. If a Change in Control that also
constitutes a Section 409A Change in Control Event does not occur during this six-month
period, this Agreement will terminate at the end of that six-month period and no amount will
be due under it (although amounts due under the Employment Agreement on account of that
termination of employment will be unaffected by the termination of this Agreement); and

[3] If an event or a series of related events entitle the Executive to payments under both
the Employment Agreement and this Agreement, the Executive will be entitled to the payments
due under this Agreement reduced by the amounts (if any) received under the Employment
Agreement before the payments become due under this Agreement and no further payments will
be due under the Employment Agreement.

8.05 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for in this Agreement must be written
and will be deemed to have been given when deposited with a reputable delivery service or in United
States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Also:

[1] All notices must be directed to the addresses shown on the last page of this Agreement.

[2] Notices and other communications to the Corporation and the Employer will not be deemed
to have been given unless they are directed to the attention of the Corporation’s Chief
Executive Officer and copies are sent to the Corporation’s Secretary.

[3] Neither Party will be required to use any address other than that shown on the last page
of this Agreement unless notified of a change in the other Party’s address. Any
change in either Party’s address must be given in writing to the other Party and will be
effective only upon receipt.

8.06 Complete Agreement. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied,
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement have been made by either Party that are not
set forth expressly in this Agreement.

8.07 Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement
will be governed by the laws (but not the law of conflicts of laws) of the State of Ohio.

15

 

8.08 Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement will not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement, which will remain
in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Agreement to be effective as of the date
and year first above written.

Re: $25,000,000.00 Term Loan

Dear Mr. McCarthy:

We are pleased to inform you that PNC Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), has approved your

your term loan are outlined in the following sections of this letter.

	 	1.	 	Facility and Use of Proceeds. This is a term loan in the amount of
$25,000,000.00 (the “Term Loan” or the “Loan”). The proceeds of the Term Loan will be used
for general corporate purposes and to enhance the capital position of the Parkvale Savings
Bank.
	 
	 	2.	 	Note. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loan shall be evidenced
by a term note (the “Note”) in form and content satisfactory to the Bank.
	 
	 	3.	 	This letter (the “Letter Agreement”), the Note and the other agreements and documents
executed and/or delivered pursuant hereto, as each may be amended, modified, extended or
renewed from time to time, will constitute the “Loan
Documents.” Capitalized terms not
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Documents.
	 
	 	4.	 	The Term Loan will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with all other present and
future obligations of the Borrower to the Bank.
	 
	 	5.	 	Interest Rate. Interest on the Term Loan will be charged at the rates, and be
payable on the dates and times, set forth in the Note.

	 	6.	 	Repayment. The principal amount of the Term Loan shall be paid in consecutive
quarterly installments over five years, as set forth in the Note. Interest shall be paid in
arrears as set forth in the Note.
	 
	 	7.	 	Security. The Borrower must cause or has previously caused the following to be
executed and delivered to the Bank in form and content satisfactory to the Bank as security
for the Loan:

	 	 	 	a pledge agreement granting the Bank a first priority perfected lien on all of the
issued and outstanding stock of Parkvale Savings Bank.

	 	8.	 	Covenants. Unless compliance is waived in writing by the Bank, until payment in
full of the Term Loan:

          (a) The Borrower will promptly submit to the Bank such information as the Bank may reasonably
request relating to the Borrower’s affairs (including but not limited to Financial Statements (as
hereinafter defined)) and/or any security for the Loan.

          (b) The Borrower will not make or permit any change in its form of organization or the nature
of its business as carried on as of the date of this Letter Agreement and will not permit Parkvale
Savings Bank to issue any additional capital stock unless such stock is issued to the Borrower and
pledged to the Bank to secure the Term Loan.

          (c) The Borrower will provide prompt written notice to the Bank of the occurrence of any of
the following (together with a description of the action which the Borrower proposes to take with
respect thereto): (i) any Event of Default or any event, act or condition which, with the passage
of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, (ii) any material
litigation filed by or against the Borrower, or a material investigation of, or material
restrictions imposed on, the Borrower by any governmental authority, (iii) any Reportable Event or
Prohibited Transaction with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan(s) (as defined in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time, “ERISA”) or (iv) any event
which might result in a material adverse change in the business, assets, operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or results of operation of the Borrower.

          (d) The Borrower will maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with
respect to its property and business against such casualties and contingencies, of such types and
in such amounts, as is customary for established companies engaged in the same or similar business
and similarly situated; and shall, upon the reasonable request of the Bank provide the Bank with
evidence of such insurance.

          (e) The Borrower will maintain books and records in accordance with GAAP and give
representatives of the Bank access thereto at all reasonable times, including permission to
examine, copy and make abstracts from any of such books and records and such other information as
the Bank may from time to time reasonably request, and the Borrower will make available to the Bank
for

 

 

Parkvale Financial Corporation

December 30, 2008

Page 3

examination copies of any reports, statements and returns which the Borrower may make to or file
with any federal, state or local governmental department, bureau or agency.

     (f) The Borrower will comply with all laws applicable to the Borrower and to the operation of
its business (including without limitation any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation relating to
employment practices, pension benefits or environmental, occupational and health standards and
controls).

     (g) The Borrower shall notify the Bank in writing not less than five (5) Business Days prior
to entering into any credit or loan agreement or any other agreement pursuant to which the Borrower
incurs indebtedness or any amendment or modification to any such existing agreement, in either case
as permitted hereunder, pursuant to which the Borrower agrees to representations, warranties,
covenants or terms which are more restrictive to the Borrower than those contained herein (the
“More Restrictive Provisions”). Upon the execution of such new agreement, amendment or
modification, the corresponding covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be and are
automatically and immediately deemed to be amended to conform with and to include the More
Restrictive Provisions; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be applicable to or be
deemed to affect any provision of this Agreement if any new credit agreement, amendment or
modification is less restrictive to the Borrower. Should the Borrower agree to provide the benefit
of any guaranty (“Guaranty”) or grant of collateral (“Collateral”) to another lender, as such
provision or grant would be permitted under the Bank’s loan documents, immediately upon the
provision or grant of such Guaranty or Collateral, the Borrower shall execute documents in favor of
the Bank granting to the Bank substantially identical benefits. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly
to execute and deliver any and all such documents and instruments and to take all such further
actions as the Bank, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
provisions of this clause.

     (h) The
Borrower will comply with the financial and other covenants included in Exhibit “A”
hereto.

	9.	 	Representations and Warranties. To induce the Bank to extend the Loan and upon the
making of each advance to the Borrower under the Line of Credit, the Borrower represents and
warrants as follows:

     (a) The Borrower has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Bank its most recent balance
sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows (as applicable, the “Historical Financial
Statements”). The Historical Financial Statements are true, complete and accurate in all material
respects and fairly present the financial condition, assets and liabilities, whether accrued,
absolute, contingent or otherwise and the results of the Borrower’s operations for the period
specified therein. The Historical Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied from period to period,
subject in the case of interim statements to normal year-end adjustments and to any comments and
notes acceptable to the Bank in its sole discretion.

 

 

Parkvale Financial Corporation

December 30, 2008

Page 4

          (b) Since the date of the most recent Financial Statements (as hereinafter defined), the
Borrower has not suffered any damage, destruction or loss, and no event or condition has
occurred or exists, which has resulted or could result in a material adverse change in its
business, assets, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operation.

          (c) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or governmental investigations pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower, which could result in a material
adverse change in its business, assets, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or results
of operations and there is no basis known to the Borrower for any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation which could result in such a material adverse change, other than as listed on Exhibit
“B” hereto.

          (d) The Borrower has filed all returns and reports that are required to be filed by it in
connection with any federal, state or local tax, duty or charge levied, assessed or imposed upon
the Borrower or its property, including unemployment, social security and similar taxes and all of
such taxes have been either paid or adequate reserve or other provision has been made therefor.

          (e) The Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the state of its incorporation or organization and has the power and authority to own and operate
its assets and to conduct its business as now or proposed to be carried on, and is duly qualified,
licensed and in good standing to do business in all jurisdictions where its ownership of property
or the nature of its business requires such qualification or licensing.

          (f) The Borrower has full power and authority to enter into the transactions provided for in
this Letter Agreement and has been duly authorized to do so by all necessary and appropriate action
and when executed and delivered by the Borrower, this Letter Agreement and the other Loan Documents
will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the
Borrower in accordance with their terms.

          (g) There does not exist any default or violation by the Borrower of or under any of the
terms, conditions or obligations of: (i) its organizational documents; (ii) any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, franchise, permit, contract, agreement, or other instrument to which it is
a party or by which it is bound; or (iii) any law, regulation, ruling, order, injunction, decree,
condition or other requirement applicable to or imposed upon the Borrower by any law or by any
governmental authority, court or agency; and the consummation of this Agreement and the
transactions set forth herein will not result in any such default or violation or Event of Default.

          (h) The Borrower has good and marketable title to the assets reflected on the most recent
Financial Statements, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except for (i) current taxes
and assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) assets disposed of by the Borrower in the ordinary
course of business since the date of the most recent Financial Statements, and (iii) those liens or
encumbrances, if any, specified on Exhibit “B” hereto.

          (i) Each employee benefit plan as to which the Borrower may have any liability complies in all
material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA, including minimum funding requirements,
and (i) no Prohibited Transaction (as defined under ERISA) has occurred with

 

 

Parkvale Financial Corporation

December 30, 2008

Page 5

respect to any such plan, (ii) no Reportable Event (as defined under Section 4043 of ERISA)
has occurred with respect to any such plan which would cause the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation to institute proceedings under Section 4042 of ERISA, (iii) the Borrower has not
withdrawn from any such plan or initiated steps to do so, and (iv) no steps have been taken to
terminate any such plan.

          (j) The Borrower is in compliance, in all material respects, with all Environmental Laws (as
hereinafter defined), including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws in jurisdictions in
which the Borrower owns or operates, or has owned or operated, a facility or site, stores
Collateral, arranges or has arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste
or other waste, accepts or has accepted for transport any hazardous substances, solid waste or
other wastes or holds or has held any interest in real property or otherwise. Except as otherwise
disclosed on Exhibit “B”, no litigation or proceeding arising under, relating to or in connection
with any Environmental Law is pending or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened
against the Borrower, any real property which the Borrower holds or has held an interest or any
past or present operation of the Borrower. No release, threatened release or disposal of hazardous
waste, solid waste or other wastes is occurring, or to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge has
occurred, on, under or to any real property in which the Borrower holds or has held any interest or
performs or has performed any of its operations, in violation of any Environmental Law. As used in
this Section, “litigation or proceeding” means any demand, claim notice, suit, suit in equity,
action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by a governmental authority
or other person, and “Environmental Laws” means all provisions of laws, statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, permits, licenses, judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, orders, awards and
standards promulgated by any governmental authority concerning health, safety and protection of,
or regulation of the discharge of substances into, the environment.

          (k) No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any
“margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time in effect or for any
purpose which violates the provisions of the Regulations of such Board of Governors.

          (l) As of the date hereof and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents, (i) the aggregate value of the Borrower’s assets will exceed its liabilities (including
contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities), (ii) the Borrower will have
sufficient cash flow to enable it to pay its debts as they become due, and (iii) the Borrower will
not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged.

          (m) None of the Loan Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of material fact
or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
in this Agreement or the Loan Documents not misleading. There is no fact known to the Borrower
which materially adversely affects or, so far as the Borrower can now foresee, might materially
adversely affect the business, assets, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of
operation of the Borrower and which has not otherwise been fully set forth in this Agreement or in
the Loan Documents.

     This Letter Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. No
modification, amendment or waiver of any of the terms of this Letter Agreement, nor any

this Letter Agreement and the other Loan Documents will constitute the entire agreement
between the Bank and the Borrower concerning the Loan, and shall replace all prior

punitive or otherwise, that may be incurred or alleged by any person or entity, including
the Borrower, as a result of this Letter Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the

BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR CLAIM OF ANY NATURE ARISING OUT OF THIS LETTER
AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED IN ANY OF SUCH
DOCUMENTS AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY.

     If and when a loan closing occurs, this Letter Agreement (as the same may be amended
from time to time) shall survive the closing and will serve as our loan agreement throughout
the term of the Loan.

          The Borrower will deliver to the Bank:

               (a) Financial Statements for its fiscal year, within ninety (90) days after fiscal year end,
audited and certified without qualification by a certified public accountant acceptable to the
Bank.

               (b) Financial Statements for each of the first three fiscal quarters, within forty-five (45)
days after the quarter end, together with year-to-date and comparative figures for the
corresponding periods of the prior year, certified as true and correct by its chief financial

copies of the then current OTS Form 1313 for each Financial Institution Subsidiary. The
above-referenced certificate shall set forth all detailed calculations necessary to demonstrate
such compliance.

          “Financial Statements” means the consolidated balance sheet and statements of income and cash
flows prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect from time to
time (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis (subject in the case of interim statements to normal
year-end adjustments).

          B. FINANCIAL COVENANTS:
