 12. Stockholders’ Agreement;
Conditions and Restrictions on Shares. Shares received upon the exercise of the Option shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Stockholders’ Agreement, including all transfer restrictions and repurchase rights set forth

Stockholders’ Agreement. 
 13. Choice of Law. This Award Agreement, and all claims or causes of action or other matters
(whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Award Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict- or choice-of-law rule
or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation thereof to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. 
 14.

action arising out of or based upon this Award Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof; (b) hereby waive, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any
such claim or action, any claim that they are not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that their property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such proceeding brought in the above-named court is
improper or that this Award Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court; and (c) hereby agree not to commence any claim or action arising out of or based upon this Award Agreement or relating to the subject
matter hereof other than before the above-named courts or to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such claim or action to any court other than the above-named courts whether on the
grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise; provided, however, that the Company and the Participant may, if necessary, seek to enforce and/or execute on a final judgment issued by a Delaware court of competent jurisdiction in any other
court of competent jurisdiction. The Company and the Participant hereby consent to service of process in any such proceeding and agree that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address specified

JURY. 
 16. Shares Not Registered. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to this Award Agreement unless the issuance and delivery of
such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, state securities laws and regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which
the Company’s securities may then be traded. The Company shall not be obligated to file any registration statement under any applicable securities laws to permit the purchase or issuance of any Shares, and accordingly, any certificates for

 EXHIBIT B 

1. Confidentiality; Proprietary Rights. Without the written consent of the Board, the Participant will not during or after termination
of the Participant’s Service (i) disclose to any Person (other than any disclosure during the Participant’s Service to a Person to which such disclosure is in the Participant’s reasonable judgment necessary or appropriate in
connection with the performance of the Participant’s duties with or to the Company and its Subsidiaries), any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information obtained by the Participant while in Service, or (ii) use any such
information to the detriment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the restrictions in clause (i) of this sentence shall not apply to information that is generally known to the public other than as a
result of unauthorized disclosure by the Participant. 
 All inventions, developments, methods, processes and ideas conceived, developed or
reduced to practice by the Participant during the Participant’s Service, and for six (6) months thereafter, which are directly or indirectly useful in, or relate to, the business of or products or services provided by or sold by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be promptly and fully disclosed by the Participant to an appropriate executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (accompanied by all papers, drawings, data and other materials relating
thereto) and shall be the exclusive property of the Company (or such Subsidiary of the Company as specified by the Company). The Participant will, upon the Company’s request and at its expense (but without any additional compensation to the
Participant), execute all documents reasonably necessary to assign the Participant’s right, title and interest in any such invention, development, method or idea (and to direct issuance to the Company (or such Subsidiary of the Company as
specified by the Company) of all patents or copyrights with respect thereto). 
 2. Restricted Activities. The Participant
acknowledges that in connection with the Participant’s Service the Participant will have access to confidential, proprietary and trade secret information which, if disclosed, would assist in competition against the Company and its Subsidiaries
and that the Participant will also generate goodwill for the Company and its Subsidiaries in the course of the Participant’s Service. Therefore, the Participant agrees that the following restrictions on the Participant’s activities during
and after the Participant’s Service are necessary to protect the goodwill, confidential information and other legitimate interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries: 

(a) During the Non-Competition Period (as defined below), neither the Participant nor any of the Participant’s Affiliates will compete,
or undertake any planning to compete, in any way (whether directly or indirectly as an officer, director, employee, owner, investor, joint venturer, independent contractor or otherwise) with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Specifically, but
without limiting the foregoing, the Participant will not work or provide services, in any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, whether with or without compensation, to any Person who is engaged in any business that
is competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as conducted or in planning (i.e., the Company and its Subsidiaries have taken material steps in implementing such plan) during the Participant’s Service. A competitive
business shall, without express or implied limitation, include any Person in the business of the retail sale, direct marketing or wholesale of discounted or closeout merchandise in any state where the Company or any of its Subsidiaries








 
does business or in any state contiguous to a state in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does business. The Participant [understands and agrees that (i) ownership of less than 5%
of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation or XS Cargo Limited Partnership (“XSC”) will not in and of itself be deemed to result in any competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) the
Participant’s provision of services to XSC during any time in which XSC has no stores in the United States and at a level consistent with what is contemplated by the Services Agreement by and between XSC and Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, Inc.,
effective as of June 3, 2011 will not in and of itself be deemed to result in any competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries so long as it does not, either directly or indirectly, conflict with or interfere with the performance of
the Participant’s duties under the Employment Agreement or to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the participant’s fiduciary duties) and (iii) the Participant will inform the Company, its
Subsidiaries and the CCMP Stockholders (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) of any material changes or developments relating to XSC and answer all questions about or relating to XSC which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the CCMP
Stockholders may have]. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Non-Competition Period” shall mean the period during the Participant’s Service and for [two (2) years] thereafter [; provided, however, that in
the event that the Participant’s Service is terminated without Cause (excluding death or Disability or a non-renewal of the term of employment under the Employment Agreement) or the Participant terminates his Service for Good Reason, the
Non-Competition Period shall end on the date of termination of Service]. 
 (b) During the Non-Competition Period, neither the Participant
nor any of the Participant’s Affiliates will recruit, offer employment to, employ, engage as a consultant or independent contractor, lure or entice away any Person who (i) is on or at any time after the date hereof, an employee of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or providing services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a consultant or independent contractor, or otherwise persuade any such Person to reduce or otherwise change the extent of such Person’s
relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) was an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or providing services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a consultant or independent contractor, in each case,
at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of cessation of employment or services of such Person with the Company and its Subsidiaries, or otherwise persuade any such Person during such twelve (12) month period to reduce or
otherwise change the extent of such Person’s relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 (c) During the
Participant’s Service and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, the Participant shall not make any negative, disparaging, detrimental or derogatory remarks or statements (written, oral, telephonic, electronic, or by any other method)
about the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, owners, partners, 







 
managers, directors, officers, employees or agents, including, without limitation, any remarks or statements that would adversely affect in any manner (i) the conduct of the Company’s
and each of its Subsidiaries’ business taken as a whole or (ii) the business reputation or relationships of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or any of its or their respective past or present officers, directors, agents, employees,
attorneys, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2(c) shall prevent the Participant from making any truthful statement to the extent, but only to the extent required by law, legal process or by any
court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction over the Participant. 

In signing this Award Agreement, the Participant gives the Company assurance that the Participant has carefully read and considered all the
terms and conditions of this Exhibit B. The Participant agrees that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates, and are reasonable in
respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. The Participant further agrees that, were the Participant to breach any of the covenants contained in this Exhibit B, the damage to the Company and its Subsidiaries and each of
their respective Affiliates would be irreparable. The Participant therefore agrees that the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled without posting bond to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any
breach or threatened breach by the Participant of any of those covenants. The Participant further agrees that, in the event that any provision of this Exhibit B is determined to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great
a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, that provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. It is also agreed that each of the Company’s Subsidiaries
and Affiliates shall have the right to enforce all of the Participant’s obligations under this Exhibit B.
