Vested SSSARs can be exercised by the grantee for up to five years after the grant date, subject to shorter exercise periods in the event of the grantee’s death or disability or another termination event. The restricted stock awards were granted pursuant to a new form of restricted stock award agreement that provides for, among other things, vesting of all of the shares of restricted stock upon the earliest to occur of a change in control of the Company, the grantee’s death or disability or the third anniversary of the grant date. The restricted stock award agreement also provides that the awarded shares of restricted stock will be forfeited if the grantee ceases to be employed by us before the third anniversary of the date of grant for any reason other than his or her death or disability.

The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan will control.
     2. Vesting of Awarded Shares.
     (a) Except as provided in Section 2(b), the Awarded Shares shall be forfeited to the Company for no consideration in the event the Grantee (i) voluntarily ceases to retain Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date or (ii) ceases to retain Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of being terminated by the Company, with or without cause, prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date.
     (b) The Awarded Shares shall be fully vested in the Grantee and no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture pursuant to Section 2(a) upon the occurrence of the earliest of the following events (the “Vesting Date”):

 


 

     (i) the date on which the Company undergoes a Change in Control;
     (ii) the date on which the Grantee dies or ceases to retain Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of the Grantee’s Disability; and
     (iii) the third anniversary of the Grant Date.
     3. Dividend and Voting Rights.
     (a) Dividends payable with respect to the Awarded Shares during the period prior to the Vesting Date shall be paid to the Grantee in the same manner as paid on the Common Stock of the Company, unless the Grantee forfeits the Shares pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, in which case the Grantee shall also forfeit the right to receive any dividends not paid prior to such forfeiture.
     (b) The Grantee shall have the right to vote any Awarded Shares; provided, that such voting rights shall lapse with respect to any Awarded Shares that are forfeited to the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

If the Company shall distribute to its stockholders shares of stock of another corporation, the shares of stock of such other corporation distributed with respect to the Awarded Shares then subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall be held in escrow and shall be distributed to the Grantee on such Vesting Date, unless the Grantee forfeits the Awarded Shares pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, in which case the Grantee shall also forfeit the right to receive such stock.

     8. Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any delivery of Awarded Shares to the Grantee, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of such delivery that the Grantee make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld. The Grantee may elect that all or any part of such withholding requirement be satisfied by retention by the Company of a portion of the Awarded Shares to be delivered to the Grantee.

The grant of the Awarded Shares to the Grantee is a voluntary, discretionary award being made on a one-time basis and it does not constitute a commitment to make any future awards. The grant of the Awarded Shares and any payments made hereunder will not be considered salary or other compensation for purposes of any severance pay or similar allowance, except as otherwise required by law. Nothing in this Agreement will give the Grantee any right to continue employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Grantee at any time.
     11. Relation to Other Benefits. Any economic or other benefit to the Grantee under this Agreement or the Plan shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary and shall not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company or a Subsidiary.

     This Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of February 27, 2008, by and between Lancaster Colony Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and «name», a Service Provider for the Company (the “Grantee”).
W I T N E S S E T H
     WHEREAS, the Company desired to award free-standing Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) to the Grantee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan; and
     WHEREAS, the Grantee wishes to accept such award; and
     WHEREAS, the execution of this Agreement has been authorized by a resolution of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company that was duly adopted on February 27, 2008, and
     WHEREAS, the Company hereby confirms to the Grantee the grant, effective on February 27, 2008, (the “Grant Date”), pursuant to the 2005 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), of «shares» free-standing Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions described below, which SARs are a right to receive Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to 100% of the Spread at the time of exercise; and
     WHEREAS, the parties hereto understand and agree that any terms used and not defined herein have the same meanings as in the Plan.
     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Grantee hereby agree as follows:
     1Definitions. As used in this Agreement:
     (a) “Base Price” means $38.31, which is not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share of the Company’s Common Stock on the Grant Date.
     (b) “Spread” means the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date on which an SAR is exercised over the Base Price.
     2. Vesting of SARs. The SARs shall become exercisable as follows:
     (a) one-third of the SARs shall become exercisable on the first anniversary of the Grant Date if the Grantee shall have retained Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant through such date;
     (b) an additional one-third of the SARs shall become exercisable on the second anniversary of the Grant Date if the Grantee shall have retained Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant through such date; and

 


 

     (c) the remaining one-third of the SARs shall become exercisable on the third anniversary of the Grant Date if the Grantee shall have retained Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant through such date.
In calculating the one-third amounts described above, fractional SARs shall be rounded down to the nearest whole SAR for each of the first two anniversaries of the Grant Date, and the remaining SARs shall be included with those SARs that become exercisable on the third anniversary of the Grant Date. To the extent exercisable, the SARs may be exercised from time to time in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement. To the extent the SARs or any portion thereof do not become exercisable as provided in this Section 2, such unexercisable SARs or portion thereof shall be forfeited to the Company for no consideration.
     3. Exercise of SARs.
     (a) To the extent exercisable as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement, the SARs may be exercised in whole or in part by delivery to the Company of a written statement in form and substance satisfactory to the Committee specifying the number of SARs to be exercised.
     (b) Upon exercise, the Company will issue to the Grantee the number of Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the product of (A) the Spread multiplied by (B) the number of SARs exercised divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise, with such quotient rounded down to the nearest whole Share.
     4. Termination of SARs. The SARs shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following:
     (a) 90 days after the Grantee ceases to retain Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant other than upon the Grantee’s death or Disability;
     (b) 90 days after the Grantee ceases to retain Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of the Grantee’s Disability;
     (c) 90 days after the Grantee ceases to retain Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of the Grantee’s death; and
     (d) Five years from the Grant Date.
     5. Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the SARs will be affected in accordance with Section 15 of the Plan.
     6. Transferability. No SAR may be transferred by the Grantee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The SARs may be exercised during a Grantee’s lifetime only by the Grantee or, in the event of the Grantee legal incapacity, by the Grantee’s guardian or legal representative acting in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of the Grantee under state law and court supervision. The SARs may be exercised after the Grantee’s death by (a) the Grantee’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to the Grantee’s death in a form acceptable to the Committee, or (b) the personal representative of the Grantee’s

 


 

estate or by the person(s) to whom the SARs are transferred pursuant to the Grantee’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.
     7. Compliance with Law. The SARs shall not be exercisable if such exercise would involve a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Company hereby agrees to make reasonable efforts to comply with any applicable federal and state securities law.
     8. Adjustments. The SARs shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 15 of the Plan.
     9. Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with the exercise of the SARs, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to such exercise that the Grantee make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld. The Grantee may elect that all or any part of such withholding requirement be satisfied by retention by the Company of a portion of the Shares to be delivered to the Grantee. If such election is made, the Shares so retained shall be credited against such withholding requirement at the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of such exercise, with any fractional Shares that would otherwise be delivered being rounded up to the next nearest whole Share. In no event shall the Fair Market Value of Shares to be withheld and/or delivered pursuant to this Section 9 to satisfy applicable withholding taxes in connection with the benefit exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld.
     10. Notices. Any notices required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Plan must be in writing, shall be delivered to the Grantee at his or her address on file with the Company or to the Company addressed as follows (or to such other address or addresses of which notice in the same manner has previously been given), and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered in person, (b) when dispatched by electronic facsimile transfer (if confirmed in writing by mail simultaneously dispatched), (c) one business day after having been dispatched by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) three business days after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid:
