Nothing in this Section 5 shall impact the vesting provisions below in the event of Death or Disability.
		
	6.
	Provisions Applicable to RSUs and related DERs.

		
	(a) 
	RSUs. Each RSU entitles the Participant to receive one Share on the date the RSU is settled, as described herein. 

		
	(b) 
	DERs. Each DER entitles the Participant to be credited with all of the cash dividends that are or would be payable with respect to the Share represented by the RSU to which the DER relates.  Accumulated dividends credited pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be payable in cash, without interest, at such time as the RSU to which the DER relates is settled pursuant to this Award Agreement.  In the event that a RSU is forfeited pursuant to this Award Agreement, the related DER shall also be forfeited and the Participant shall have no right to payment of any accumulated dividend amounts.

(c)    Vesting of RSUs:
		
	(1)
	In General. The RSUs will vest ratably (rounded up to the next whole RSU, if necessary) on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date (each a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company on the applicable Vesting Date. Except as provided in Sections 5(c)(2) or (3), if the Participant terminates for any other reason prior to a Vesting Date, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, any RSUs that are unvested on the date of termination will be forfeited on that date. 

		
	(2)
	Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the RSUs will become fully vested on the date of Participant’s death or Disability.  

		
	(3)
	Change in Control.  If there is a Change in Control, Article XII of the Plan will apply to any outstanding RSUs.

		
	(4) 
	[Reserved] 

		
	(d)
	Settlement of RSUs. If all applicable terms and conditions have been satisfied, the Participant will receive one whole Share for each vested RSU as soon as administratively feasible but not later than 30 days after each Vesting Date; provided, however, that upon the issuance or transfer of Shares to the Participant, in lieu of any fractional Shares, the Participant will receive a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Shares.  

		
	(e)
	No Rights Before Vesting. Before the RSUs vest, the Participant may not exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying the RSUs.

		
	(f) 
	Transferring the RSUs or DERs. Neither the RSUs nor the DERs may 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 10(a), the Participant may designate a beneficiary to receive any vested RSUs and the proceeds from any DERs that are settled after the Participant dies.  

		
	7.
	Provisions Applicable to Shares of Restricted Stock.

		
	(a)
	Vesting of Restricted Stock:

		
	(1)
	In General. The Restricted Stock will vest ratably (rounded up to the next whole Share, if necessary) on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date (each a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company on the applicable Vesting Date.  Except as provided in Sections 6(a)(2) or (3), if the Participant terminates for any other reason prior to a Vesting Date, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, any Restricted Stock that is unvested on the date of termination will be forfeited on that date.

		
	(2)
	Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Stock will become fully vested on the date of Participant’s death or Disability. 

		
	(3)
	Change in Control. If there is a Change in Control, Article XII of the Plan will apply to any unvested portion of the Restricted Stock.

		
	(b)
	Rights Before Vesting. Before the Restricted Stock vests as described in Section 6(a), the Participant: (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 terms and conditions as the Shares Restricted Stock.

		
	(c)
	Transfer Restrictions on Restricted Stock. Until the Restricted Stock becomes vested as described in Section 6(a), the 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 10(a), the Participant may designate a beneficiary to receive any Shares to be settled after the Participant dies.  

		
	(d)
	Settling the Restricted Stock. The Restricted Stock will be held in escrow until it vests.  If the applicable terms and conditions of this Award Agreement are satisfied, the Restricted Stock will be released from escrow and distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible after it vests, but not later than 30 days after each Vesting Date.  In lieu of any fractional Shares of Restricted Stock, the Participant will receive a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Shares.

		
	7.
	Award Subject to Recoupment Policy. If undersigned Participant is an “executive officer” of the Company as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, then this Award is subject to the Bob Evans Farms, Inc. Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy (“Recoupment Policy”).  The Award, or any amount traceable to the Award, shall be subject to the recoupment obligations described in the Recoupment Policy.

		
	8.
	Award Subject to Non-Competition and Confidentiality Policy.  If undersigned Participant is an officer of the Company or an officer of a Company subsidiary on the date of receipt of this Award, then receipt of this Award is also subject to the Bob Evans Farms, Inc. Non-Competition and Confidentiality Policy and undersigned Participant’s adherence to said Policy.  

		
	9.
	Restrictive Covenants. Unless the Committee otherwise agrees in writing, any outstanding unvested RSUs, accruals related to the DERs or Shares of Restricted Stock under this Award will be forfeited if the Participant:

		
	(a)
	Serves (or agrees 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 the Company or an Affiliate’s business or renders any service to entities that compete with any portion of the Company or an Affiliate’s business; 

		
	(b)
	Refuses or fails to consult with, supply information to, or otherwise cooperate with, the Company or any Affiliate after having been requested to do so; or

		
	(c)
	Deliberately engages in any action that the Committee concludes could harm the Company or any Affiliate.

10.    Other Terms and Conditions:
		
	(a)
	Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any cash or Shares to be paid or settled after the Participant’s death by completing a Beneficiary Designation Form in the form and manner required by the Committee and communicated in writing to the Participant.  The Beneficiary Designation Form does not need to be completed now and is not required to be completed as a condition of receiving this Award.  However, if the Participant dies without completing a Beneficiary Designation Form or if the designation is ineffective for any reason, the Participant’s beneficiary will be the Participant’s surviving spouse or, if the Participant does not have a surviving spouse, the Participant’s estate.

		
	(b)
	Tax Withholding. The Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, shall have the power and right to deduct, withhold or collect any amount required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising with respect to this Award Agreement.   To the extent permitted by the Committee, in its sole discretion, this amount may be: (i) withheld from other amounts due to the Participant, (ii) withheld from the value of any Award being settled or any Shares transferred in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Award, (iii) withheld from the vested portion of any Award (including shares transferable thereunder), whether or not being exercised or settled at the time the taxable event arises, or (iv) collected directly from the Participant. Subject to the approval of the Committee, the Participant may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, withhold shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction; provided that such Shares would otherwise be distributable to the Participant at the time of the withholding if such Shares are not otherwise distributable at the time of the withholding, provided that the Participant has a vested right to distribution of such Shares at such time.  All such elections shall be irrevocable and made in writing and shall be subject to any terms and conditions that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. 

		
	(c)
	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.

		
	(d)
	Other Agreements. This Award will be subject to the terms of any other written agreements between the Participant and the Company to the extent that those other agreements do not directly conflict with the terms of the Plan or this Award Agreement.

		
	(e)
	Award Subject to the Plan. This Award 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.  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 the participant.  Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Award Agreement have the same meaning as in the Plan.

		
	(f)
	Rejection. The Participant may reject this Award Agreement and forfeit the Shares of Restricted Stock, RSUs and related DERs granted to the Participant pursuant to this Award Agreement by notifying the Company or its designee, in the manner prescribed by the Company and communicated to the Participant, within 30 days after the Grant Date.  If this Agreement is rejected pursuant to this Section 10(f), the Shares of Restricted Stock, RSUs and related DERs evidenced by this Award 

Agreement shall be forfeited, and neither the Participant nor the Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators and successors shall have any rights with respect thereto. 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, THE UNDERSIGNED, HAVING READ THIS AWARD AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN, DOES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND FREELY SIGN AS OF THE DATE SET FORTH BELOW.

BOB EVANS FARMS, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2010 EQUITY AND CASH INCENTIVE PLAN
MARK E. HOOD GUARANTEED AWARD
Grant Date: June 18, 2015

Bob Evans Farms, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants the Participant an Other Stock-Based Award consisting of the following: (a) restricted stock (“RSAs”) and (b) related dividends (“Dividends”), subject to the terms and conditions described in the Bob Evans Farms, Inc. Amended and Restated 2010 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and this Award (“Award”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Award have the respective meanings set forth in the Plan.
		
	1.
	Restricted Stock.  

		
	(a) 
	Grant. The Company hereby grants you the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified on Appendix A, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.

		
	(b)
	Restricted Stock Account.  The Company will issue and maintain in escrow and establish an account (the “Account”) on its books in your name to reflect the number of shares of Restricted Stock awarded to you.  The Account will be administered as follows:

(1) The Account is for recordkeeping purposes only, and no assets other than the shares shall be set aside from the Company’s general assets with respect to such Account.
 (2) If dividends are paid in the form of shares of Common Stock rather than cash, then your Account will be credited with one additional shares of Restricted Stock for each share of Common Stock that would have been received as a dividend had your outstanding shares of Restricted Stock.
		
	 (c) 
	Restricted Period.  The period prior to the vesting date with respect each share of Restricted Stock is referred to as the “Restricted Period.”  Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, unless vested or forfeited earlier as described in this Agreement, as applicable, your shares of Restricted Stock will become vested and be settled pro rata, one third as of the first, second and third anniversary dates of the Grant Date.  

		
	(d)
	Disability or Death.  If during the Restricted Period you have a Termination of Service by reason of Disability or death, then the shares of Restricted Stock will become fully vested as of the date of your Termination of Service and the Vesting Date shall become the date of your Termination of Service.  Any shares of Restricted Stock becoming vested by reason of your Termination of Service by reason of Disability or death shall be settled as provided in Section 1(h).

		
	(e)
	Retirement.  If you have a Termination of Service by reason of Retirement (as defined in the Plan), then any unvested RSAs will continue to vest based on the original vesting schedule.  Any RSAs becoming vested by reason of your Retirement shall be settled as provided in Section 1(h).

		
	(f)
	Involuntary Termination of Service.  If during the Restricted Period you have a Termination of Service by reason of an involuntary (as determined by the Committee) Termination of Service not for Cause, fifty percent of the unvested RSAs shall immediately vest on the Participant’s termination date and the remaining unvested RSAs will be forfeited.   

(g) Other Termination of Service.  If during the Restricted Period you have a Termination of Service by reason of voluntary quitting, resigning or retiring (i.e., leaving to retire but not as Retirement as defined in the Plan), or if you are terminated for Cause, or if you have a Termination of Service for any reason, as determined by the 

Committee, then you shall thereupon forfeit any RSAs that are still in a Restricted Period on your termination date.  
(h)    Settlement of Vested Shares of Restricted Stock. As promptly as practicable after the applicable Vesting Date, whether occurring upon your Separation from Service or otherwise, but in no event later than 75 days after the Vesting Date, the Company shall transfer to you one share of Common Stock for each share of Restricted Stock becoming vested at such time, net of any applicable tax withholding requirements in accordance with Section 7(b) below; provided, however, that, if you are a Specified Employee at the time of Separation from Service, then to the extent your shares of Restricted Stock are deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, settlement of which is triggered by your Separation from Service (other than for death), payment shall not be made until the date which is six months after your Separation from Service.  Fractional shares shall be settled in cash at the same time as your shares of Common Stock are delivered.
		
	(i)
	Settlement Following Change in Control.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if there is a Change in Control during the Performance Period, then Article XII of the Plan will apply to any unvested portion of the Award.

		
	2.
	Dividends.  

		
	(a)
	Each RSA entitles the Participant to currently receive dividends declared on the RSA. 

		
	(b) 
	If dividends are paid in the form of shares of Common Stock rather than cash, then your Account will be credited with one additional RSA, as applicable, for each share of Common Stock that would have been received as a dividend had your outstanding RSAs been shares of Common Stock.

		
	(c)
	In the event that a RSA is forfeited pursuant to this Award, any unpaid or future dividends shall also be forfeited and the Participant shall have no right to payment of any dividend amount or shares.

		
	3.
	Transfer Restrictions. Until a RSA becomes vested the RSA 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 8(a), the Participant may designate a beneficiary to receive any Shares to be settled after the Participant dies.  

		
	4.
	Award Subject to Recoupment Policy. If the Participant is an “executive officer” of the Company as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, then this Award is subject to the Bob Evans Farms, Inc.

The Award, or any amount traceable to the Award, shall be subject to the recoupment obligations described in the Recoupment Policy.

		
	5.
	Award Subject to Non-Competition and Confidentiality Policy.  If the Participant is an officer of the Company or an officer of a Company subsidiary on the date of receipt of this Award, then receipt of this Award is also subject to the Bob Evans Farms, Inc. Non-Competition and Confidentiality Policy and the Participant’s adherence to said Policy.  

		
	6.

All such elections shall be irrevocable and made in writing and shall be subject to any terms and conditions that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
