RECITALS -


 


WHEREAS,
the Company on the day of its 2006 Annual Meeting, by action of its shareholders, adopted and approved the 2006 Stock Incentive
Plan (“Plan”);


 


WHEREAS,
the purpose of the Plan is to enable selected and key employees of the Presidential Companies to acquire an ownership interest
in the Company through such Plan, and to provide such employees with a more direct stake in the future and welfare of the Presidential
Companies and to encourage them to remain with the Company or its subsidiaries;


 


WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Plan, the Company is authorized to grant to employees of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Presidential
Life Insurance Company (the “Insurance Company” and, collectively with the Company, the “Presidential Companies”)
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”); and


 


WHEREAS,
pursuant to the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Program of the Company, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has exercised its discretion to award the Participant an award of shares
of Common Stock (each, a “Share”) subject to the restrictions as set forth herein.


 


NOW
THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant agree as follows:


 


		1.	Award of Shares of Restricted Stock.



 


This Agreement
evidences the grant by the Committee, on March 1, 2012 (the “Award Date”), to the Participant of 4,660
Shares under the Plan, subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions of this Agreement. Pursuant to Articles 2, 3, 4 and 7
below, the Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions and possible risk of forfeiture (the “Restrictions”).
While the Restrictions are in effect, the Shares subject to such restrictions shall be referred herein as “Shares of Restricted
Stock.”


 


		2.	Acceptance.



 


The Participant shall forfeit this
award of Shares of Restricted Stock if the Participant does not execute this Agreement within a period of fifteen (15) days from
the date the Participant receives this Agreement (or such other period as the Committee shall provide). In the event that this
award of Shares of Restricted Stock is not accepted within such time period, this Agreement shall be null and void and this award
of Shares of Restricted Stock shall not be valid.


 



    	 



    	 



    

 


		3.	Restriction on Transfer.



 


Except as
required by law or the laws of descent or distribution, or as otherwise provided in accordance with the terms and provisions of
this Agreement or the Plan, the Shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Participant may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred
or permitted to be transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of until the Shares of Restricted Stock vest in accordance with Article
4 below (the “Period of Restriction”). Any attempted sale, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, assignment or other disposition
of any Shares of Restricted Stock in violation of the Plan or this Agreement shall be void and of no effect and the Company shall
have the right to disregard the same on its books and records and to issue “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer
agent.


 


		4.	Vesting.



 


		a.	In General. Subject to this Article 4, Shares of Restricted Stock shall become vested, and
accordingly, the Restrictions shall no longer apply pursuant to the following schedule, which shall be cumulative; provided that
the Participant has not had a Termination at any time prior to the applicable “Vesting Date”:



 


	Vesting Date	 	Portion of Shares of Restricted Stock to Vest
	January 1, 2013	 	One-third (1/3) of Shares of Restricted Stock
	January 1, 2014	 	One-third (1/3) of Shares of Restricted Stock
	January 1, 2015	 	One-third (1/3) of Shares of Restricted Stock


 


Vested Shares shall be delivered to
the Participant within thirty (30) days following the applicable Vesting Date.


 


		b.	Termination due to death and Disability. Upon the Participant’s Termination due to
death or Disability, all Shares of Restricted Stock, to the extent unvested, shall vest in full immediately upon such Termination,
and such vested Shares shall be delivered to the Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative, if applicable) within
thirty (30) days following such Termination.



 


		c.	Termination by the Presidential Companies Other than for Cause or by the Participant for Good
Reason. Upon the Participant’s Termination by any of the Presidential Companies for any reason other than for Cause,
or by the Participant for Good Reason, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock that would have vested on the individual Vesting
Date next following such Termination shall vest on the date of such Termination and such vested Shares shall be delivered to the
Participant within thirty (30) days following such Termination. All other unvested Shares of Restricted Stock and any rights thereto
shall be forfeited along with any dividends of cash or other property that have accrued with respect to such forfeited Shares of
Restricted Stock.



 



    	2



    	 



    

		d.	Termination by the Presidential Companies Other than for Cause or by the Participant for Good
Reason, in each case following a Change in Control. Upon the Participant’s Termination by any of the Presidential Companies
for any reason other than for Cause, or by the Participant for Good Reason, in each case during the twelve (12) month period following
a Change in Control (as defined in Article 5 below), all Shares of Restricted Stock, to the extent unvested, shall vest in full
immediately upon such Termination and shall be delivered to Participant within thirty (30) days following such Termination.



 


		e.	Other Terminations. Upon any Termination that is not described in Article 4(b), (c) or (d)
above (including a Termination by any of the Presidential Companies for Cause or a Termination by the Participant without Good
Reason), all unvested Shares of Restricted Stock and any rights thereto shall be forfeited along with any dividends of cash or
other property that have accrued with respect to such forfeited Shares of Restricted Stock.



 


		f.	Other Agreement Terms. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Shares of Restricted
Stock shall become vested at such earlier times and/or in such amounts, if any, as may be expressly provided for in a written agreement
between any of the Presidential Companies and the Participant in effect as of the Award Date.



 


		g.	Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:



 


		(i)	“Disability” shall mean that the Participant shall fail, because of physical or mental
infirmity or similar incapacity, to render for one hundred eighty consecutive days, or for shorter periods aggregating one hundred
eighty or more days in any twelve month period, material services to one or more of the Presidential Companies.



 


		(ii)	“Cause” shall mean with respect to the Participant’s Termination from and after
the date hereof, the following: (a) in the case where there is no employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control
agreement or similar agreement in effect between any of the Presidential Companies and the Participant at the time of the grant
of the award (or where there is such an agreement but it does not define “cause” (or words of like import)), termination
due to a Participant’s dishonesty, fraud, commission of a felony or any crime of moral turpitude, material insubordination,
moral turpitude, willful misconduct, refusal to perform his or her duties or responsibilities for any reason other than illness
or incapacity, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; or (b) in the case where there is an employment agreement,
consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between any of the Presidential Companies and
the Participant at the time of the grant of the award or an award agreement that defines “cause” (or words of like
import), “cause” as defined under such agreement.



 



    	3



    	 



    

 


		(iii)	“Good Reason” shall mean only in the case where there is an employment agreement, consulting
agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between any of the Presidential Companies and the Participant
at the time of the grant of the award or an award agreement that defines “good reason” (or words of like import), “good
reason” as defined under such agreement; provided, however, that with regard to any agreement under which the
definition of “good reason” only applies on occurrence of a change in control, such definition of “good reason”
shall not apply until the consummation of a change in control and then only with regard to a Termination thereafter and based solely
on events and/or circumstances arising after the consummation of such change in control.



 


		(iv)	“Termination” shall mean the Participant’s termination of employment with either
of the Presidential Companies by the Company (or an affiliate) or the Participant for any reason whatsoever, except that a transfer
of the Participant from the Company to a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, whether or not incorporated, or vice versa, or
from a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to another, and a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company, shall
not be deemed a termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any payment under this Agreement that is considered
“nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, a “Termination” shall mean a “separation
from service” under Section 409A of the Code.



 


		5.	Change in Control.



 


		a.	Notwithstanding Article 4 above, in the event of a Change in Control, as defined herein, the Committee
may, in its absolute and sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to:



 


		(i)	vest such portion of the Shares of Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate, such vesting to be
subject to such terms and conditions that, in the Committee’s absolute and sole discretion, it deems appropriate;



 


		(ii)	cancel and/or cash out any or all Shares of Restricted Stock for fair value (as determined in good
faith by the Committee); or



 


		(iii)	provide for the issuance of substitute awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable
terms of this Agreement as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.



 


		b.	“Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence on or prior to three years from the Award Date of any one of the
following events:



 


		(i)	The date a majority of Company’s board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment
or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of Company’s board of directors before the date for the appointment
or election; or



 



    	4



    	 



    

 


		(ii)	The date a change in the ownership of either of the Presidential Companies occurs. For purposes
of this paragraph, a change in ownership occurs (except as provided in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi)(C)), on the
date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B))
acquires ownership of the stock of either of the Presidential Companies that, together with stock held by such person or group,
constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market value of the stock of Company or Insurance Company as the case may be;
or



 


		(iii)	The date a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets occurs.
For purposes of this paragraph, a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of assets occurs on the date that any one person,
or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)), acquires (or has acquired
during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company
or the Insurance Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent of the total gross fair market
value of all of the assets of the Company or the Insurance Company (as the case may be) immediately before such acquisition or
acquisitions. For the purposes of this paragraph, gross fair market value has the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(A).
Notwithstanding the above provisions of this paragraph, no change in ownership shall be deemed to have occurred by reason of a
transfer of assets to a related entity as described in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(B).



 


		6.	Investment Representation.



 


The Participant
agrees that the Shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Participant under this Agreement is being acquired for his or her account
and not with a view to distribution thereof. In addition, the Participant acknowledges, represents and warrants that:


 


		a.	The Participant has been advised that the Participant may be an “affiliate” within
the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), currently or at the time the Participant
desires to sell Shares following the vesting of the Shares of Restricted Stock, and in this connection the Company is relying in
part on the Participant’s representations set forth in this Article 6.



 


		b.	If the Participant is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, the Shares
must be held indefinitely unless an exemption from any applicable resale restrictions is available or the Company files an additional
registration statement (or a “re-offer prospectus”) with regard to such Shares and the Company is under no obligation
to register the Shares (or to file a “re-offer prospectus”).



 



    	5



    	 



    

 


		c.	If the Participant is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, the Participant
understands that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available unless (i) a public trading market then exists
for the Shares, (ii) adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and (iii) other terms and conditions
of Rule 144 or any exemption therefrom are complied with; and that any sale of the Shares may be made only in limited amounts in
accordance with such terms and conditions.



 


		7.	Deposit of Shares of Restricted Stock.



 


		a.	Promptly after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall issue stock certificates representing
the Shares of Restricted Stock unless it elects to recognize such ownership through book entry or another similar method. The stock
certificates shall be registered in the Participant’s name and shall bear any legend required under the Plan or by the Committee
in its sole discretion. Unless held in book entry form, such stock certificates shall be held in custody with the escrow agent
(as provided for below), or such other person as designated by the Board, together with stock powers or other instruments of transfer
required by the Company or its counsel appropriately endorsed in blank by him or her. Such deposit shall remain in effect until
either the time the Company reacquires the Shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until such Shares
of Restricted Stock vest in accordance with this Agreement.



 


		b.	The Participant consents to the appointment of the Secretary of the Company, in his or her official
capacity, and his or her successor in office, or any other person that may be appointed by the Committee under the Plan, as the
escrow agent for the Shares of Restricted Stock during the Period of Restriction. The Participant agrees that the escrow agent
is merely a depository to retain the Shares of Restricted Stock and to dispose of the Shares of Restricted Stock in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. If the escrow agent is notified of any adverse claim or demand by any person, he
or she is hereby authorized to hold such certificates until the dispute shall have been settled by the parties and notice submitted
to him or her by persons so interested, or until the rights of the parties have been fully adjudicated in a court of competent
jurisdiction.



 


		c.	Except as provided in Article 8 below, Participant shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder
of the company with respect thereto, including but limited to the right to vote on all matter to be voted on by holders of shares
in the Company except as may be limited by terms of the Plan and this Agreement.



 


		d.	Notwithstanding anything else herein, to the extent permitted under applicable foreign, federal
or state law, the Company may, issue the Shares of Restricted Stock in the form of uncertificated shares. Such uncertificated Shares
of Restricted Stock shall be credited to a book entry account maintained by the Company (or its designee) on behalf of the Participant.
If thereafter certificates are issued with respect to the uncertificated Shares of Restricted Stock, such issuance and delivery
of certificates shall be in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement.

		8.	Distributions with Respect to Shares of Restricted Stock.



 


		a.	Any dividends of cash or other property paid with respect to the Shares of Restricted Stock shall
accrue and become payable to Participant upon the vesting of such Share of Restricted Stock in accordance with this Agreement.



 


		b.	Any shares received by Executive as a stock dividend, or as a result of stock splits, recapitalizations,
combinations, exchanges of shares, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations or otherwise, directly or indirectly, with respect
to the Shares of Restricted Stock shall have the same status, be subject to this Agreement, and shall be delivered to the escrow
agent to be held under the same terms and conditions as the Shares of Restricted Stock.



 


		9.	Lapse of Restrictions.



 


		a.	Upon the vesting of Shares of Restricted Stock, the Restrictions shall lapse, provided that such
Shares of Restricted Stock have not before then been forfeited.



 


		b.	Upon the vesting of Shares of Restricted Stock, any accrued dividends and the stock certificates
for the applicable Shares of Restricted Stock that have vested shall be delivered to Participant.



 


		c.	The delivery of any certificate representing Shares that have vested or any corresponding accrued
dividends of cash or other property may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required for it to comply with any
applicable foreign, federal or state securities law, or any national securities exchange listing requirements and the Company is
not obligated to issue or deliver any securities if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the issuance of such Shares shall
constitute a violation by Participant or the Company of any provisions of any applicable foreign, federal or state law or of any
regulations of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange.



 


		10.	Withholding.



 


		a.	The Participant shall pay, or make arrangements to pay, in a manner satisfactory to the Company,
an amount equal to the amount of all applicable federal, state and local or foreign taxes that the Company is required to withhold
at any time. In the absence of such arrangements, the Presidential Companies shall have the right to withhold such taxes from the
Participant’s normal pay or other amounts payable to the Participant.



 


		b.	Participant may satisfy the withholding obligation by paying the amount of any applicable taxes
in cash or Shares (held by the Participant for six months or more) to the Company to satisfy the obligation in full or in part.



 



    	7



    	 



    

 


		c.	The amount of the withholding and the number of Shares to be paid to the Company shall be determined
by the Committee (or the Board), with reference to the fair market value of Shares of the Company when the withholding is required
to be made.



 


		11.	Delivery of Stock and Documents.

the escrow agent to cancel the certificates being held in escrow for the forfeited Shares so that such Shares may be cancelled
in the shares registry of the Company.


 


		12.	Right to Terminate Employment.



 


This award of Shares of Restricted
Stock shall not confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of any of the Presidential Companies or to interfere

time, for any reason, with or without Cause.


 


		13.	Burden and Benefit.

jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and/or the Federal courts of the United States of
America located in the Southern District of New York (collectively, the “Agreed Venue”) for resolution of any such
Dispute, (b) agree that those courts in the Agreed Venue, and only those courts, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine
any Dispute, including any appeal, and (c) agree that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have
arisen from a transaction of business in the State of New York. The parties also hereby irrevocably (i) submit to the jurisdiction

		20.	Section 409A.



 


Although
the Company makes no guarantee with respect to the tax treatment of the Shares of Restricted Stock, the award of Shares
of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. With respect to any dividend,
however, this Agreement is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code relating to “short-term
deferrals” thereunder, and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in a manner so as to comply therewith. If the Participant
is deemed on the date of Termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then
with regard to any payment that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code payable on account
of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date which is the earlier
of the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” and the date
of the Executive’s death. The Participant’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall
be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. In no event whatsoever shall the Presidential Companies
be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Participant by Section 409A of the Code or any
damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.


 



    	10



    	 



    

 


		21.	Miscellaneous.



 


		a.	The failure of any party hereto at any time to require performance by another party of any provision
of this Agreement shall not affect the right of such party to require performance of that provision, and any waiver by any party
of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such
provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under this Agreement.



		b.	This Agreement may be executed with counterpart signature pages or in separate counterparts each of which shall be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.



 


		22.	Cancellation, Clawback and Recoupment of Shares of Restricted Stock. 



 


		a.	Any unvested Shares of Restricted Stock (and any accrued dividends) may be canceled or forfeited
if the Compensation Committee (or the Board), in its sole discretion, determines that the Participant received the award of Shares
of Restricted Stock based on materially inaccurate financial statements (which includes, but is not limited to, statements of earnings,
revenues, or gains).



 


		b.	In the event the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines at anytime prior to
the five (5) year anniversary of the Award Date that the Participant (1) knowingly engaged in providing inaccurate information
(including knowingly failing to timely correct inaccurate information) relating to financial statements; or (2) engaged in Gross
Misconduct while employed by any of the Presidential Companies or any of their affiliates, then the Compensation Committee (or
the Board), in its sole discretion, may direct the Company to (i) cancel any then unvested Shares of Restricted Stock, and the
Participant shall forfeit any rights to such unvested cancelled Shares of Restricted Stock (including any accrued dividends) or
(ii) recoup the fair market value (as of the applicable date of vesting) of any Shares previously delivered to the Participant
under this Agreement and other amounts paid under this Agreement, (including any dividends paid with respect to vesting of any
Shares of Restricted Stock).



 


		c.	“Gross Misconduct” means any conduct that is determined by the Compensation Committee
(or the Board), in its sole discretion, to be (i) in competition with the Company’s business operations during the Participant’s
employment with the Company, (ii) in breach of the Participant’s duty of loyalty to the Presidential Companies, or (iii)
materially injurious to the Company.



 



    	11



    	 



    

 


		d.	The remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and the Participant
agrees and acknowledges that the enforcement by the Company of its rights hereunder shall not in any manner impair, restrict or
limit the right of the Company to seek injunctive and other equitable or legal relief under applicable law or the terms of any
other agreement between any of the Presidential Companies and the Participant.



 


		e.	Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any portion of the payments and
benefits under this Agreement shall be subject to recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protect Act or any Securities and Exchange Commission rule or regulation.



 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officer.
