As used herein, the term “Relevant Security”
means any shares of Common Stock or any other debt, equity, option, warrant or other
security or instrument (“Other Securities”)

The undersigned hereby authorizes the Company during the Lock-Up Period
to cause any transfer agent for the Relevant Securities to decline to transfer,
and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records
relating to, Relevant Securities for which the undersigned is the record holder
and, in the case of Relevant Securities for which the undersigned is the
beneficial but not the record holder, agrees during the Lock-Up Period to cause
the record holder to cause the relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer,
and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records
relating to, such Relevant Securities.

 

Except for the Registration Statement (as defined in the Placement

exercise any rights described in (y) below, the undersigned hereby further
agrees that, without the prior written consent of Joseph Stevens during the
Lock-Up Period the undersigned shall not:

in the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of any registration
statement, or circulate or participate in the circulation of any preliminary or
final prospectus or other disclosure document with respect to any proposed
offering or sale of a Relevant Security, and/or

 

(y)           exercise any rights
the undersigned may have to require registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission of any proposed offering or sale of a Relevant Security.

 

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has
full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that this Agreement
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned,
enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
Upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents
necessary in connection with enforcement hereof.  Any obligations of the undersigned shall be
binding upon the successors and assigns of the undersigned from the date first
above written.

does not intend to proceed with the Offering or if the Placement Agency
Agreement shall terminate, or be terminated, prior to the initial closing contemplated
thereby, the undersigned, upon the occurrence of any such event and without
further act by or on the part of Joseph Stevens, will be released from his, her
or its obligation under this Agreement.

  Section A

  	
   

  	
  Introduction
  and Principles

  

 

	
   

  	
   

  	
  The FY’2006 Executive
  Incentive Plan (EIP) provides an opportunity for executives of Cintas
  to share in the company’s success. Year-end bonus awards are paid if
  performance measures are met or exceeded. Awards are tied directly to the
  annual performance of Cintas and its divisions.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Please
  note that the EIP is not just an individual
  incentive plan but rather, the recognition of both individual and
  organizational success. 

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Every
  executive will have at least 50% of their targeted incentive bonus based on
  the relevant Corporate measure (profit as a % of sales, % of revenue growth
  or EPS growth. As such, we all “succeed or fail as One Team”.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Plan Participation

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  This
  plan applies to all Cintas Officers.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Effective
  Date 

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  This
  Plan year is effective from June 1, 2005 until the end of our fiscal year,
  May 31, 2006 and it supersedes all prior EIP or
  officer compensation plans. Cintas reserves the right to amend and/or adjust
  this plan based on the strategic needs of our business. Communication to our
  participating partners will be made in a timely fashion.

  

 

	
  Section B

  	
   

  	
  Plan Design / Measures, & Objectives

  

 

	
   

  	
   

  	
  Plan Mix

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  The FY’2006 EIP
  introduces the concept of “plan mix”. Each participating officer will share
  in the success of Cintas based on three (3) different compensation vehicles;
  base salary, incentive bonuses, and long term incentives (i.e. stock and
  stock options). 

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Operations Officers
  will be eligible for cash incentive bonuses tied to the following; a business
  unit percent of Profit as a % of Sales objective and a business unit percent
  of Revenue Growth objective. These objectives will be linked to the
  Operations Officers’ individual level of responsibility. Additionally,
  Operations Officers will be eligible for long term incentives (LTI) based on
  the achievement of the combination of % of Sales Growth and Profit as a % of
  Sales in their areas of responsibility (Cintas Rule 35 calculation) and
  Cintas Earnings per Share (EPS) Growth. 

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Staff Officers
  will be eligible for cash incentive bonuses tied to both a Cintas EPS Growth,
  and the Individual Goals linked to the Staff Officer’s individual area of
  responsibility. Additionally, Staff Officers will be eligible for long term
  incentives (LTI) based the same formula as their annual cash incentive bonus.
  

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  For All Officers covered
  by the FY’2006 EIP, an officer could earn 0% up to a maximum of 200% of the
  cash bonus award depending on their overall performance in their two cash incentive
  bonus objectives. Additionally, depending on the results of the two LTI
  objectives, an officer could earn 0% LTI up to a maximum of 200% of the LTI
  award if that performance target is achieved.

  

 

	
   

  	
   

  	
  Target
  Incentive Bonus

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  The “target incentive bonus” is the total cash
  incentive amount earned at the target objectives. Total Targeted Cash (TTC)
  represents an individuals base salary plus targeted cash incentives. Target
  bonus percentages may vary by position/level.

  

 

	
   

  	
   

  	
  Pay-Out Calculation for Cash Incentives

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  For each measure, after the planned threshold
  is achieved, pay-out for that measure begins. If the “target” level is
  achieved, 100% of the bonus amount for that measure is earned, and if you
  achieve the level of maximum payout, 200% of the targeted award is earned.

  Bonus calculations will be made using year-end
  actual results, subject to adjustment at the discretion of the CEO to exclude
  items that are not operational and therefore do not reflect the year’s
  performance against objectives, such as accounting principle changes or
  revenue from an acquisition that was not in the business plan. (See Section E
  for more detail).

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  In
  addition, any automatic payroll deductions elected by the partners (e.g.
  401K, or company loan repayments as the CEO deems necessary, etc) will be
  deducted from their bonus.

  The partner’s Comp Plan will be changed to
  properly incentivise the partner for their new responsibility, at the discretion
  of the CEO. Any final award calculation will be calculated by taking into
  account the time spent under each plan. 

  If
  a partner is transferred from another incentive program or non-EIP-eligible position to an EIP-eligible
  role, or vice versa, the partner will be aligned to the appropriate Basis of
  Measures for the months spent in the eligible position.Any bonus will be paid
  on the normal payment cycle on the designated pay date.

  Calculation
  of Prorated Awards

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  The Company will pay the partner a pro rata
  share of the bonus earned from the beginning of the fiscal year until the
  point of the employee’s termination in the event that the employee retires,
  or their position is eliminated. If the employee is terminated because of
  poor performance, any bonus to be paid will be determined at the sole
  discretion of the Company, using its best judgment, taking all factors into
  consideration so as to be fair to both the partner and the Company. In the
  event that the partner leaves the Company during the year for any reason, or
  in the event the partner is terminated because of dishonesty,
  insubordination, or gross neglect, etc., the partner shall not be entitled to
  any of the bonus earned up to the point of his termination.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Exceptions to the plan

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  In general, no exceptions are made to the
  Basis of Measures alignment for eligible partners. If special circumstances
  cause the Basis of Measures alignment to be unfair to a particular individual
  or the Company, an exception request must be approved by the CEO who may approve
  the request at his discretion.

  Acquisitions and Other Unusual Business Situations

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  The purpose of the formula and the Incentive
  Plan is to reward individuals for normal operating profits earned within his
  area of responsibility. Any incidences that abnormally inflate the profits of
  an operation such as the purchase or the sale of rental volume, the unusual
  sale of operating assets, or any other abnormal operational situation that
  causes the profits of the individual operation to abnormally increase, the
  Plan shall be adjusted so as to avoid any inequitable results to the partner
  or the Company.

  All financial numbers related to business
  unit/Cintas performance will be determined by the Cintas Accounting
  Department with the approval of our CFO and CEO. In cases of dispute, the
  Cintas Accounting Department figures will govern performance as it relates to
  calculating all bonus plan payouts.

  Even though it is the
  intention of the Company to continue this Plan on an ongoing basis, from year
  to year, so that the employee can rely upon it in making long-term operational
  decisions, the Company does reserve the right to alter the program as it sees
  fit, from year to year.
