The reporting person hereby undertakes to provide full information regarding the number of shares and prices at which the transactions were effected upon request to the SEC staff, the Issuer, or a security holder of the issuer.

  4. Forfeiture of performance-based non-qualified stock options ("PNQs") granted to the reporting person on 11/10/2016 under the 2007 Plan that were eligible to vest based on time and the achievement of certain financial performance objectives. Upon grant, the target vesting amount was reported in Table II of Form 4 filed with the SEC on 11/14/2016. On 11/10/2017, based on the Issuer's failure to achieve certain financial performance objectives over the applicable performance period, a total of 8,265 PNQs were forfeited. Of the remaining 33,066 PNQs subject to the award, as of 11/10/2017, 11,022 PNQs have vested and 22,044 PNQs remain eligible to vest. Subject to certain continued employment conditions and subject to accelerated vesting incertain circumstances, one half of the remaining PNQs are scheduled to vest on each of 11/10/2018 and 11/10/2019.

  6. Grant of performance-based restricted stock units ("PBRSUs") under the 2017 Plan. The target number of PBRSUs is presented in the table. Subject to certain continued employment conditions and subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, the PBRSUs are scheduled to vest based on achievement of certain financial performance goals for the performance period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2020. At the end of the three-year performance period, the number of PBRSUs that actually vest will be 0% to 150% of the target amount, depending on the extent to which Farmer Bros. Co. meets or exceeds certain financial performance goals measured over the full three-year performance period. The maximum number of PBRSUs that may vest at the end of the three-year performance period is 43,228 (150% of the target amount).
