WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has adopted and approved the TreeHouse Foods, Inc. Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), which was approved, as required, by the Company’s stockholders and provides for the grant of stock-based awards and cash incentive awards to certain eligible Employees, Consultants and non-Employee Directors of the Company and its Affiliates; and

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has selected the Participant to participate in the Plan and has awarded the restricted stock units described in this Agreement (the “Units”) to the Participant; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to evidence in writing the terms and conditions of the Units; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and as an inducement to the Participant to continue as an Employee of the Company (or an Affiliate) and to promote the success of the business of the Company and its Affiliates, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.        Grant of Units. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, effective as of the date shown on the attached Notice of Grant (the “Date of Grant”), and on the terms and subject to the conditions, limitations and restrictions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement, the number of Units shown on the attached Notice of Grant. The Participant hereby accepts the Units from the Company.

2.        Transfer Restrictions. None of the Units shall be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily, by the Participant prior to vesting of Units hereunder, and until permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

3.        Vesting. Subject to paragraph 6, the Units shall vest                 , provided that the Participant continues to provide Service to the Company (or an Affiliate) on                         .

4.        Pro Rata Vesting on Certain Terminations of Service. Upon the termination of the Participant’s Service due to death, Disability or Retirement, a pro rata portion of the Units shall vest. Such pro rata portion shall be based on the number of full calendar months of Participant’s

Service since the Date of Grant or most recent anniversary thereof, as applicable, divided by twelve.

5.        Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the vesting of any unvested Units will be in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

6.        Forfeiture. All of the Units that have not vested pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4 or 5 shall be forfeited to the Company upon the Participant’s termination of Service with the Company and its Affiliates for any reason. The final determination of whether or not the Participant has been discharged or has terminated Service shall be made by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion.

7.        Payment. The Units shall be converted to Stock or cash, at the discretion of the Committee, and paid to the Participant as soon as practicable after the date on which Units vest (but no later than 45 days following such vesting).

8.        Rights as a Stockholder. During the restriction period, the Participant shall not be entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Units until such Units vest and are converted to shares of Stock, including without limitation the right to vote and tender Stock and the right to receive dividends and other distributions payable with respect to Stock.

9.        Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company, or to withhold from other amounts payable to the Participant, as compensation or otherwise, an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements as provided in the Plan, or the Company shall have the right to retain (or the Participant may be offered the opportunity to elect to tender) the number of shares of stock whose Fair Market Value equals such amount required to be withheld.

10.        Plan Incorporated. The Participant accepts the Units subject to all the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated into this Agreement, including the provisions that authorize the Committee to administer and interpret the Plan and which provide that the Committee’s decisions, determinations and interpretations with respect to the Plan are final and conclusive on all persons affected thereby. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, terms defined in the Plan have the same meanings herein.

11.        Miscellaneous.

(a)        No Guaranteed Service or Employment. Neither the granting of the Units, nor any provision of this Agreement or the Plan, shall (a) affect the right of the Company to terminate the Participant at any time, with or without Cause, or (b) shall be deemed to create any rights to employment or Service or continued employment or continued Service on the part of the Participant or any rights to participate in any employee benefit plan or program (other than the Plan) of the Company or any Affiliate or to receive any benefits or rights associated with employment or Service with the Company. The rights and obligations arising under this Agreement are not intended to and do not affect the employment or Service relationship that otherwise exists between the Company (or any Affiliate) and the Participant, whether such relationship is at will or defined by an employment or service contract. Moreover, this Agreement is not intended to and does not amend any existing employment or service contract

between the Company and the Participant; to the extent there is a conflict between this Agreement and such a contract, the contract shall govern and take priority.

(b)        Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive offices, and any notice to be given to the Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at the address set forth on the attached Notice of Grant, or at such other address for a party as such party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid.

If any provision of this Agreement is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, in whole or in part, then the parties shall be relieved of all obligations arising under such provision, but only to the extent that it is illegal, unenforceable or void, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable while preserving its intent or, if that is not possible, by substituting therefore another provision that is legal and enforceable and achieves the same objectives.

No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.

(i)        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one agreement binding on all the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all such parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart.

The Units are granted pursuant to the Plan, and the Units and this Agreement are in all respects governed by the Plan and subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof, whether such terms and provisions are incorporated in this Agreement by reference or are expressly cited.

The Participant may, from time to time, in accordance with procedures set forth by the Committee, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently) to whom any benefit under this Agreement is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and shall be effective only if and when it is properly completed and filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such valid and effective designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

The Participant is not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data, but a refusal to provide such consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. The Company, or its Affiliates, may transfer Data among themselves or to third parties as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These various recipients of Data may be located elsewhere throughout the world. The Participant authorizes these various recipients of Data to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Participant may, at any time, review Data with respect to the Participant and require any necessary amendments to such Data. The Participant may withdraw his or her consent to use Data herein by notifying the Company in writing; however, the Participant understands that by withdrawing his or her consent to use Data, the Participant may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan.
