3.Investment Purposes. You acknowledge that you are acquiring your Restricted Shares for investment purposes only and without any present intention of selling or distributing them.

4.Issuance of Restricted Shares. Until all vesting restrictions lapse, any certificates that you receive for Restricted Shares will include a legend stating that they are subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Award Agreement.

5.Lapse of Vesting Restrictions. As vesting restrictions lapse, the Company shall cause certificates for Shares to be issued and delivered to you, with such legends and restrictions that the Committee determines to be appropriate. Certificates shall not be delivered to you unless you have made arrangements satisfactory to the Committee to satisfy tax-withholding obligations.

6.Long-term Consideration for Award. The Participant recognizes and agrees that the Company’s key consideration in granting this Option is securing the long-term commitment of the Participant to serve as a trusted executive officer who will advance and promote the Company’s business interests and objectives. Accordingly, the Participant agrees to the following as material and indivisible consideration for this Award:

(a)Fiduciary Duty. During his or her employment with the Company, the Participant shall devote his or her full energies, abilities, attention and business time to the performance of his or her job responsibilities and shall not engage in any activity which conflicts or interferes with, or in any way compromises, his or her performance of such responsibilities.

(b)Confidential Information. The Participant recognizes that by virtue of his or her employment with the Company, he or she will be granted otherwise prohibited access to confidential information and proprietary data which are not known to the Company’s competitors. This information (the “Confidential Information”) includes, but is not limited to, current and prospective customers; the identity of key contacts at such customers; customers’ particularized preferences and needs; marketing strategies and plans; financial data; personnel data; compensation data; proprietary procedures and processes; and other unique and specialized practices, programs and plans of the Company and its customers and prospective customers. The Participant recognizes that this Confidential Information constitutes a valuable property of the Company, developed over a significant period of time and at substantial expense. Accordingly, the Participant agrees that he or she shall not, at any time during or after his or her employment with the Company, divulge such

Confidential Information or make use of it for his or her own purposes or the purposes of any person or entity other than the Company.

(c)Non-Solicitation of Customers. The Participant recognizes that by virtue of his or her employment with the Company he or she will be introduced to and involved in the solicitation and servicing of existing customers of the Company and new customers obtained by the Company during his or her employment. The Participant understands and agrees that all efforts expended in soliciting and servicing such customers shall be for the permanent benefit of the Company. The Participant further agrees that during his or her employment with the Company the Participant will not engage in any conduct which could in any way jeopardize or disturb any of the Company’s customer relationships. The Participant also recognizes the Company’s legitimate interest in protecting, for a reasonable period of time after his or her employment with the Company, the Company’s customers. Accordingly, the Participant agrees that, for a period beginning on the date hereof and ending one (1) year after termination of Participant’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason for such termination, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Chairman of the Company, market, offer, sell or otherwise furnish any products or services similar to, or otherwise competitive with, those offered by the Company to any customer of the Company.

(d)Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Participant recognizes the substantial expenditure of time and effort which the Company devotes to the recruitment, hiring, orientation, training and retention of its employees. Accordingly, the Participant agrees that, for a period beginning on the date hereof and ending two (2) years after termination of Participant’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason for such termination, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or herself or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit, offer employment to, hire or otherwise retain the services of any employee of the Company.

(e)Survival of Commitments; Potential Recapture of Award and Proceeds. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of this Section 6 regarding confidentiality and non-solicitation shall survive both (i) the termination of Participant’s employment with the Company for any reason, and (ii) the termination of the Plan, for any reason. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the grant of Restricted Shares in this Award Agreement is just and adequate consideration for the survival of the restrictions set forth herein, and that the Company may pursue any or all of the following remedies if the Participant either violates the terms of this Section or succeeds for any reason in invalidating any part of it (it being understood that the invalidity of any term hereof would result in a failure of consideration for the Award):

(i) declaration that the Award is null and void and of no further force or effect;

(ii) recapture of any cash paid or Shares issued to the Participant, or any designee or beneficiary of the Participant, pursuant to the Award;

(iii) recapture of the proceeds, plus reasonable interest, with respect to any Shares that are both issued pursuant to this Award and sold or otherwise disposed of by the Participant, or any designee or beneficiary of the Participant.
