Plan”); 
 WHEREAS, the Corporation desires to encourage the Employee to remain an employee of the Corporation and, during
such employment, to contribute substantially to the financial performance of the Corporation and, to provide that incentive, the Corporation has awarded, subject to the performance and employment restrictions described herein, the Employee an
aggregate of [NUMBER OF SHARES] shares of the common stock of the Corporation, $0.10 par value per share (“Common Stock”); 
 WHEREAS, half of the Shares Subject to Restrictions are subject to the Corporation’s attainment of the performance requirements set forth in Paragraph 3(b) (the “Performance Criteria”); and
half of the Shares Subject to Restrictions are subject to the Employee’s remaining an Employee (except in instances of death, disability or Retirement as described below) during the Restriction Period set forth in Paragraph 3(c), subject to
accelerated termination of the Restriction in the event of attainment of the Performance Criteria; and 
 WHEREAS, the
Corporation and the Employee desire to evidence the award of the Shares Subject to Restrictions and the terms and conditions applicable thereto in this Restricted Stock Agreement. 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and intending to be legally bound, the Corporation
and the Employee agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Shares Subject to Restrictions. The Corporation hereby grants to the
Employee, as of the date first written above, the Shares Subject to Restrictions subject to the restrictions and other terms and conditions set forth herein. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Employee shall
deliver to the Corporation a stock power endorsed in blank relating to the Shares Subject to Restrictions (including in such power any increases or adjustments to the Shares Subject to Restrictions). As soon as practicable after the Date of Grant,
the Corporation shall direct that the Shares Subject to Restrictions be registered in the name of and issued to the Employee and initially bearing the legend described in Paragraph 6. The Shares Subject to Restrictions and any certificate or
certificates representing the Shares Subject to Restrictions shall be held in the custody of the Corporation or its designee until the expiration of the applicable Restrictions. Upon any forfeiture in accordance with Paragraph 4 of the Shares

shares and any certificate or certificates representing the forfeited Shares Subject to Restrictions shall be canceled. 
 2. Restrictions. Employee shall have all rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to the Shares Subject to Restrictions, except that the following restrictions shall
apply:

disposed of during the “Restriction Period” as defined below, except to the extent of the Corporation’s earlier attainment of the Performance Criteria, as defined below. 

(b) The Shares Subject to Restrictions are subject to forfeiture during the Restriction Period in accordance with Paragraph 4 of this
Agreement. 
 (c) The Shares Subject to Restrictions and any certificate representing the Shares Subject to Restrictions shall
be held in custody by the Corporation or its designee until such time as either the Performance Criteria are attained or the Restriction Period shall have been completed. 
 (d) Dividends paid with respect to the Shares Subject to Restrictions during the Restriction Period shall not be paid to the Employee and, instead, shall be converted into additional shares of Restricted
Stock at the price at which shares of common stock of the Corporation are purchased under the Corporation’s outstanding dividend reinvestment program and on the date such purchases are made and such shares of Restricted Stock shall be additions
to the shares subject to the Restrictions hereunder. 
 3. Term of Restriction. 

(a) Subject to the forfeiture provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement, the Restrictions shall lapse (i) with respect to half of
the Shares Subject to Restrictions on the earlier of (x) February 23, 2017 if the Employee is an employee of the Corporation on February 23, 2017, unless the Employee’s cessation of employment was due to the Employee’s
death, disability or Retirement (as defined below), or (y) as soon after the completion of the audit of the Corporation for the 2014 fiscal year as it may be determined that the Performance Criteria have been attained and (ii) with respect
to half of the Shares Subject to Restrictions, as soon after the completion of the audit of the Corporation for the 2014 fiscal year as it may be determined that the Performance Criteria have been. With respect to the half of the Shares Subject to
Restrictions subject only to the Performance Criteria, if the Corporation does not attain the Performance Criteria on or before the three year measurement period ending December 31, 2014, such half of the Shares Subject to Restrictions shall be
forfeited immediately upon the completion of that three-year measurement period.

 (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Performance Criteria” shall mean that the
net income of the Corporation, measured under GAAP, shall exceed $350 million, in the aggregate, for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 fiscal years of the Corporation. The period for measuring the Performance Criteria shall end as of December 31,
2014 and the Personnel and Compensation Committee shall as promptly as possible following the completion of the audit of the Corporation for the 2014 fiscal year determine whether the Performance Criteria have been met. 

(c) The period from the Date of Grant until the lapse of the applicable Restrictions with respect to the Shares Subject to Restrictions
is the “Restriction Period” for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (d) As soon as administratively practicable following
the lapse of the Restrictions without a forfeiture of the applicable Shares Subject to Restrictions, and upon the satisfaction of all other applicable conditions as to such Shares Subject to Restrictions, including, but not limited to, the payment
by the Employee of all applicable withholding taxes, if any, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Employee shares of Common Stock, which may be in the form of a certificate or certificates for such shares, equal in number to
the applicable Shares Subject to Restrictions, which shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth above and shall not bear the legend described in Paragraph 6. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) if the Performance Criteria are
met, all Shares Subject to Restrictions shall become non-forfeitable and such Shares or the certificate representing such non-forfeitable shares of common stock of the Corporation shall be delivered as described above and (ii) if the
Performance Criteria are not met, (x) half of the Shares Subject to Restrictions shall be forfeited immediately after the end of the measurement period for such Performance Criteria and (y) the remaining half of the Shares Subject to

Restrictions. If Employee’s employment with the Corporation and all of its direct or indirect subsidiaries is terminated by either party for any reason, including, but not limited to, the involuntary termination of the Employee’s
employment with the Corporation for any reason, with or without cause, other than the Employee’s death, disability or retirement with the consent of the Corporation when the Employee is at least 55 years of age with at least five years of
service (“Retirement”), (i) all rights of the Employee to the Shares Subject to Restrictions which remain subject to the Restrictions shall terminate immediately and be forfeited in their entirety, and (ii) the forfeited Shares
Subject to Restrictions and any stock certificate or certificates representing the forfeited Shares Subject to Restrictions shall be canceled. If the Employee dies or becomes disabled during the Restriction Period, the Shares Subject to Restrictions
will immediately vest. If the Employee retires with the consent of the Corporation when the Employee is at least 55 years of age with at least five years of service, the Employee (or the Employee’s beneficiary) shall receive the Shares Subject
to Restrictions when, if and to the extent, the Restrictions lapse under Paragraph 3.
