conditions described in the Bob Evans Farms, Inc. 2006 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
and this Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”).

     To ensure you fully understand the terms and conditions of your Option, you should read the
Plan and this Award Agreement carefully. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Award
Agreement have the same meanings as in the Plan.

     You should return a signed copy of this Award Agreement to:

[Insert title]

Bob Evans Farms, Inc.

3776 S. High St.

Columbus, Ohio 43207

	1.	 	Summary of Your Option

	 	 	Number of Shares Subject to Your Option: [insert number of shares] Shares.
	 
	 	 	Exercise Price: $[insert Exercise Price] per Share.
	 
	2.	 	When Your Option Will Vest

     (a) In General: You may not exercise your Option until it vests and becomes exercisable. In
general, your Option will vest and become exercisable with respect to:

	 	•	 	[insert number of shares] Shares on the first anniversary of the Grant Date;
	 
	 	•	 	[insert number of shares] Shares on the second anniversary of the Grant Date; and
	 
	 	•	 	[insert number of shares] Shares on the third anniversary of the Grant Date.

 

 

     (b) Acceleration of Vesting: Notwithstanding Section 2(a):

     (i) If your employment Terminates due to your death, Disability or Retirement, your
Option will become fully vested and exercisable on your Termination date; and

     (ii) Unless otherwise specified in a separate change in control agreement (or written
agreement of similar import) between you and us or any Related Entity, your Option will
become fully vested and exercisable if a Business Combination or Change in Control occurs
and:

     (A) We are not the surviving corporation following such Business Combination or
Change in Control; or

     (B) Within 24 months following such Business Combination or Change in Control,
the Plan is terminated and not replaced simultaneously with a similar program
providing comparable benefits; or

     (C) Within 24 months following such Business Combination or Change in Control,
your employment is Terminated by us and the Related Entities without Cause or by you
for Good Reason (as defined below).

     (c) Good Reason: Unless otherwise specified in an employment agreement or change in control
agreement between you and us or any Related Entity, “Good Reason” means, without your written
consent, (i) our or a Related Entity’s failure to pay or cause to be paid your base salary or bonus
(to the extent earned in accordance with the terms of any applicable arrangement), if any, when
due, (ii) any substantial and sustained diminution in your authority or responsibilities with us or
any Related Entity or (iii) we or a Related Entity require you to relocate more than 50 miles from
your principal place of employment on the Grant Date; provided that the events described in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) will constitute Good Reason only if we fail to cure such event within
30 days after we receive from you written notice of the event which constitutes Good Reason. “Good
Reason” will cease to exist for an event on the 60th day following the later of its
occurrence or your knowledge thereof, unless you have given us written notice thereof prior to such
date.

3. When You May Exercise Your Option and When It Will Expire

     (a) In General: In general, you may exercise all or any part of the vested portion of your
Option at any time prior to the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”).

     (b) Effect of Termination: Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your employment Terminates prior
to the Expiration Date, your Option will remain exercisable for the period specified below:

	 	•	 	Retirement. If your employment Terminates due to your Retirement, the vested
portion of your Option may be exercised at any time before the Expiration Date.

2

 

	 	•	 	Death or Disability. If your employment Terminates due to your death or
Disability, the vested portion of your Option may be exercised at any time before
the earlier of the Expiration Date or the first anniversary of your Termination
date.
	 
	 	•	 	Cause. If your employment is Terminated for Cause, your Option (whether or not
then exercisable) will be forfeited on your Termination date.
	 
	 	•	 	Without Cause or By You for Any Reason Other Than Retirement, Death or
Disability. If your employment is Terminated involuntarily without Cause or by you
for any reason other than your Retirement, death or Disability, (i) the unvested
portion of your Option will be forfeited on your Termination date and (ii) the
vested portion of your Option may be exercised at any time before the earlier of
the Expiration Date or 30 days after your Termination date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the 30-day period described in the preceding sentence expires during
a “blackout period” (as described in our insider trading policy), the vested
portion of your Option may be exercised at any time before the earlier of the
Expiration Date or a number of days following the expiration of the blackout period
equal to the number of days during such blackout period before your Option would
have otherwise expired.
	 
	 	 	 	Example: Assume your employment Terminates voluntarily on July 6. You must
exercise the vested portion of your Option on or before August 5 (which is 30 days
after your Terminate date). A blackout period begins on August 1 and ends on August
7. Subject to the occurrence of the Expiration Date, you would be given an
extension of five days following the end of the blackout period to exercise the
vested portion of your Option. Thus, the vested portion of your Option could be
exercised at any time before the earlier of the Expiration Date or August 12.

     (c) Effect of Change in Control or Business Combination: If a Change in Control or Business
Combination occurs, the Committee may, but will not be obligated to:

	 	•	 	Cancel your Option for fair value (as determined in the sole discretion of the
Committee) which may equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration to
be paid in the Change in Control or Business Combination transaction, as the case
may be, to holders of the same number of Shares subject to your Option (or, if no
consideration is paid in such transaction, the Fair Market Value of the Shares
subject to your Option) over the aggregate Exercise Price of your Option; or
	 
	 	•	 	Provide for the issuance of substitute Awards that will substantially preserve
the otherwise applicable terms of your Option as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion; or
	 
	 	•	 	Provide that for a period of 15 days prior to the Change in Control or Business
Combination, as the case may be, your Option will be exercisable as to all Shares
subject thereto and that upon the occurrence of such Change in Control or

3

 

	 	 	 	Business Combination, your Option will terminate and be of no further force and
effect.

     (d) Restrictive Covenants: Unless we or a Related Entity otherwise agree in writing, any
portion of your Option that has not been exercised will be forfeited if you:

	 	•	 	Serve (or agree to serve) as an officer, director, manager, consultant or
employee of any proprietorship, partnership, corporation or limited liability
company or become the owner of a business or a member of a partnership or limited
liability company that competes with any portion of our or a Related Entity’s
business or renders any service to entities that compete with any portion of our or
a Related Entity’s business;
	 
	 	•	 	Refuse or fail to consult with, supply information to, or otherwise cooperate
with, us or any Related Entity after having been requested to do so; or
	 
	 	•	 	Deliberately engage in any action that the Committee concludes could harm us or
any Related Entity.

4. Exercising Your Option

     You must follow the procedures described below to exercise your Option. If you do not follow
these procedures, your attempted exercise will be disregarded.

     (a) Your Option may be exercised with respect to whole Shares only. To exercise all or any
part of the vested portion of your Option, you must take the following steps before the Option
expires:

	 	•	 	Complete a copy of the Nonqualified Stock Option Exercise Form, which is
attached to this Award Agreement as Exhibit A; and
	 
	 	•	 	Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased through the
exercise of the Option.

     (b) You may pay the aggregate Exercise Price:

	 	•	 	By cash, personal check or money order in the amount of the Exercise Price
multiplied by the number of Shares being purchased. The personal check or money
order must be made payable to “Bob Evans Farms, Inc.”
	 
	 	•	 	Through the delivery or attestation of Shares owned by you for at least six
months before the Option is exercised (or such other period established by
generally accepted accounting principles). In this case, the Shares delivered or
attested must have a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the
Shares being purchased.
	 
	 	•	 	To the extent permitted by the Committee, through a “net share” exercise. In
this case, you will be issued a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to
the

4

 

	 	 	 	difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares being purchased minus the
aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares being purchased.
	 
	 	•	 	To the extent permitted by the Committee and by applicable law, through a
“cashless exercise.” In this case, you will deliver irrevocable instructions to a
broker to (i) sell the Shares obtained upon the exercise of the Option and (ii)
deliver promptly to us an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the
aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased.

     (c) As soon as administratively practicable after our determination that the Option has been
validly exercised as to any of the Shares, we will issue or transfer the relevant number of Shares
to you.

5. Other Rules Affecting Your Option

     (a) Rights Before Your Option Is Exercised: You may not vote or receive any dividends
associated with the Shares underlying the unexercised portion of your Option.

     (b) Beneficiary Designation: You may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive or
exercise any vested Award that is unpaid or unexercised at your death by completing a Beneficiary
Designation Form. If you have not completed a Beneficiary Designation Form or if you wish to
change your beneficiary, you may complete the Beneficiary Designation Form attached to this Award
Agreement as Exhibit B. The Beneficiary Designation Form does not need to be completed now
and is not required to be completed as a condition of exercising your Option. However, if you die
without completing a Beneficiary Designation Form or if you do not complete the form correctly,
your beneficiary will be your surviving spouse or, if you do not have a surviving spouse, your
estate.

(c) Tax Withholding:

     (i) You may be required to pay to us or a Related Entity and, subject to Code §409A, we
or any Related Entity will have the right and are hereby authorized to withhold from any
issuance or transfer due under this Award Agreement or under the Plan or from any
compensation or other amount owing to you, applicable withholding taxes with respect to your
Option, its exercise or any issuance or transfer under this Award Agreement or the Plan and
to take such action as may be necessary in our opinion to satisfy all obligations for the
payment of such taxes.

     (ii) Without limiting the generality of Section 5(c)(i), to the extent permitted by the
Committee, you may satisfy the foregoing withholding liability: (A) by having us withhold
from the number of Shares that otherwise would be issued to you when you exercise your
Option a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the statutory minimum
withholding liability; (B) through the delivery or attestation of a number of Shares owned
by you for at least six months before the Option is exercised (or such other period
established by generally accepted accounting principles) and that have a Fair Market Value
equal to the statutory minimum withholding liability; or (C) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, by delivering irrevocable instructions to a broker to (I) sell

5

 

the Shares obtained upon the exercise of the Option and (II) deliver promptly to us an
amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the statutory minimum withholding
liability.

     (d) Transferring Your Option: In general, your Option may not be sold, transferred, pledged,
assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. However, as described in Section 5(b), you may complete a Beneficiary Designation
Form to name the person who may exercise your Option if you die before the Option expires. Also,
with the Committee’s consent, you may be allowed to transfer your Option to certain Permissible
Transferees (as defined in the Plan). Contact us at the address given on the first page of this
Award Agreement if you are interested in transferring your Option to a Permissible Transferee.

     (e) Governing Law: This Award Agreement will be construed in accordance with and governed by
the laws (other than laws governing conflicts of laws) of the State of Ohio except to the extent
that the Delaware General Corporation Law is mandatorily applicable.

     (f) Other Agreements: Your Option will be subject to the terms of any other written
agreements between you and us to the extent that those other agreements do not directly conflict
with the terms of the Plan or this Award Agreement.

     (g) Adjustments to Your Option: If there is a Share dividend, Share split, recapitalization
(including payment of an extraordinary dividend), merger, consolidation, combination, spin-off,
distribution of assets to stockholders, exchange of Shares or other similar corporate change
affecting Shares, the Committee will appropriately adjust the number of Shares subject to your
Option, the Exercise Price and any other factors, limits or terms affecting your Option. Any
decision by the Committee as to the appropriate adjustments to be made to your Option will be
binding on you.

     (h) Buy Out of Option: We may offer to buy for cash or by substitution of another Award (but
only to the extent that the offer and the terms of the offer do not, and on their face are not
likely to, generate penalties under Code §409A or violate any other applicable law) your Option,
whether or not exercisable, by providing to you written notice (“Buy Out Offer”) of our intention
to exercise the rights reserved in Section 15.05 of the Plan and other information, if any,
required to be included under applicable securities laws. If a Buy Out Offer is made and you
accept it, we will transfer to you the value (determined under procedures adopted by the Committee)
of your Option. We will complete any such buy out as soon as administratively feasible after the
date you accept the Buy Out Offer.

     (i) Other Terms and Conditions: Your Option is subject to the terms and conditions described
in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated by reference into and made a part of
this Award Agreement. You should read the Plan carefully to ensure you fully understand all the
terms and conditions of your Option. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and
the terms of this Award Agreement, the terms of the Plan will govern. The Committee has the sole
responsibility of interpreting the Plan and this Award Agreement, and its determination of the
meaning of any provision in the Plan or this Award Agreement shall be binding on you.

     (j) Signature in Counterparts: This Award Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.

from you written notice of the event which constitutes Good Reason. “Good Reason” will
cease to exist for an event on the 60th day following the later of its occurrence
or your knowledge thereof, unless you have given us written notice thereof prior to such
date.

3. Effect of Termination on Restricted Stock

     (a) Retirement, Death or Disability: If you Terminate due to your Retirement, death or
Disability, the Restriction Periods will lapse and the Restricted Stock will become fully vested on
your Termination date.

     (b) Termination for Cause or Any Reason Other Than Retirement, Death or Disability: If you
Terminate for Cause or, except as set forth in Section 2(b)(ii), Terminate for any reason other
than due to your Retirement, death or Disability, the unvested Restricted Stock will be forfeited
on your Termination date.

4. Restrictive Covenants

     Unless we or a Related Entity otherwise agree in writing, any outstanding Shares of Restricted
Stock will be forfeited if you:

	 	•	 	Serve (or agree to serve) as an officer, director, manager, consultant or
employee of any proprietorship, partnership, corporation or limited liability
company or become the owner of a business or a member of a partnership or limited
liability company that competes with any portion of our or a Related Entity’s
business or renders any service to entities that compete with any portion of our or
a Related Entity’s business;
	 
	 	•	 	Refuse or fail to consult with, supply information to, or otherwise cooperate
with, us or any Related Entity after having been requested to do so; or
	 
	 	•	 	Deliberately engage in any action that the Committee concludes could harm us or
any Related Entity.

5. Settling Your Restricted Stock

If all applicable terms and conditions have been satisfied, your Restricted Stock will be released
from escrow and distributed to you as soon as administratively feasible after the last day of the
applicable Restriction Period. Any fractional Share of Restricted Stock will be settled in cash.

6. Other Rules Affecting Your Restricted Stock

     (a) Rights During the Restriction Period: During the applicable Restriction Period (and even
though the Shares of Restricted Stock are held in escrow until they are settled), you (i) may
exercise full voting rights associated with the Shares of Restricted Stock and (ii) will be
entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Shares of
Restricted Stock, although any dividends or other distributions paid in Shares will be subject to
the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with
respect to which they were issued under this Award Agreement.

     (b) Beneficiary Designation: You may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive
Restricted Stock that is not settled at the time of your death by completing a Beneficiary
Designation Form. If you have not completed a Beneficiary Designation Form or if you wish to
change your beneficiary, you may complete the Beneficiary Designation Form attached to this Award
Agreement as Exhibit A. The Beneficiary Designation Form does not need to be completed now
and is not required to be completed as a condition of receiving your Restricted Stock. However, if
you die without completing a Beneficiary Designation Form or if you do not complete the form
correctly, your beneficiary will be your surviving spouse or, if you do not have a surviving
spouse, your estate.

(c) Tax Withholding:

     (i) You may be required to pay to us or a Related Entity and, subject to Code §409A, we
or any Related Entity will have the right and are hereby authorized to

3

 

withhold from any issuance or transfer due under this Award Agreement or under the Plan
or from any compensation or other amount owing to you, applicable withholding taxes with
respect to your Restricted Stock or any issuance or transfer under this Award Agreement or
the Plan and to take such action as may be necessary in our opinion to satisfy all
obligations for the payment of such taxes.

     (ii) Without limiting the generality of Section 6(c)(i), to the extent permitted by the
Committee, you may satisfy the foregoing withholding liability: (A) by having us withhold
from the number of Shares that otherwise would be issued to you when your Restricted Stock
is settled a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the statutory minimum
withholding liability; or (B) through the delivery or attestation of a number of Shares
owned by you for at least six months before the Restricted Stock is settled (or such other
period established by generally accepted accounting principles) and that have a Fair Market
Value equal to the statutory minimum withholding liability.

     (d) Transferring Your Restricted Stock: In general, your Restricted Stock may not be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, except by will or the laws
of descent and distribution. However, as described in Section 6(b), you may complete a Beneficiary
Designation Form to name the person who may receive any Restricted Stock that is settled after you
die. Also, with the Committee’s consent, you may be allowed to transfer your Restricted Stock to
certain Permissible Transferees (as defined in the Plan). Contact us at the address given on the
first page of this Award Agreement if you are interested in transferring your Restricted Stock to a
Permissible Transferee.

     (e) Governing Law: This Award Agreement will be construed in accordance with and governed by
the laws (other than laws governing conflicts of laws) of the State of Ohio except to the extent
that the Delaware General Corporation Law is mandatorily applicable.

     (f) Other Agreements: Your Restricted Stock will be subject to the terms of any other written
agreements between you and us to the extent that those other agreements do not directly conflict
with the terms of the Plan or this Award Agreement.

     (g) Adjustments to Your Restricted Stock: If there is a Share dividend, Share split,
recapitalization (including payment of an extraordinary dividend), merger, consolidation,
combination, spin-off, distribution of assets to stockholders, exchange of Shares or other similar
corporate change affecting Shares, the Committee will appropriately adjust the number of Shares of
Restricted Stock and any other factors, limits or terms affecting your Restricted Stock. Any
decision by the Committee as to the appropriate adjustments to be made to your Restricted Stock
will be binding on you.

     (h) Buy Out of Restricted Stock: We may offer to buy for cash or by substitution of another
Award (but only to the extent that the offer and the terms of the offer do not, and on their face
are not likely to, generate penalties under Code §409A or violate any other applicable law) your
Restricted Stock, whether or not the Restriction Periods have lapsed, by providing to you written
notice (“Buy Out Offer”) of our intention to exercise the rights reserved in Section 15.05 of the
Plan and other information, if any, required to be included under applicable securities laws. If a
Buy Out Offer is made and you accept it, we will transfer to you the value (determined

4

 

under procedures adopted by the Committee) of your Restricted Stock to be purchased or
exchanged. We will complete any such buy out as soon as administratively feasible after the date
you accept the Buy Out Offer.

     (i) Other Terms and Conditions: Your Restricted Stock is subject to the terms and conditions
described in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated by reference into and made a
part of this Award Agreement. You should read the Plan carefully to ensure you fully understand
all the terms and conditions of your Restricted Stock. In the event of a conflict between the
terms of the Plan and the terms of this Award Agreement, the terms of the Plan will govern. The
Committee has the sole responsibility of interpreting the Plan and this Award Agreement, and its
determination of the meaning of any provision in the Plan or this Award Agreement shall be binding
on you.

     (j) Signature in Counterparts: This Award Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.
