SANDERSON FARMS, INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

(Management Employee)

     This RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), made and entered into as of the 22nd day
of December, 2009 (the “Grant Date”), by and between ______ (the “Participant”) and Sanderson
Farms, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”), sets forth the terms
and conditions of a Restricted Stock Award issued pursuant to the Sanderson Farms, Inc. and
Affiliates Stock Incentive Plan, adopted on February 17, 2005 (the “Plan”) and this Agreement. Any
capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the
Plan.

     1. Grant and Vesting of Restricted Stock.

     (a) As a reward for past service or in consideration of and as an incentive to the
Participant’s performance of future services on behalf of the Company, and for no additional
consideration, the Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date, ______ shares of
the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Restricted Stock”), subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan. The Restricted Stock is subject to
forfeiture as provided herein and may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of by the Participant, other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution of the state in which the Participant resides on the date of his death. The period
during which the Restricted Stock is not vested and is subject to transfer restrictions is referred
to herein as the “Restriction Period.”

     (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, one half (50%) of the
Restricted Stock shall vest immediately upon execution of the Agreement and shall not be subject to
forfeiture or any transfer restrictions, and one half (50%) of the Restricted Stock shall vest and
no longer be subject to forfeiture or any transfer restrictions hereunder on the first anniversary
of the Grant Date, so long as the Participant has remained continuously employed by the Company
from the Grant Date through such date.

     (c) In the event of (i) the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company by reason
of death or Disability or (ii) the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company after
his attainment of eligibility for retirement (as determined by the Board from time to time), the
number of shares of Restricted Stock that has not vested shall immediately vest and no longer be
subject to forfeiture or any transfer restrictions hereunder. In the event of a change in control,
all Restricted Stock that has not vested shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to
forfeiture or any transfer restrictions hereunder. If the Participant’s employment with the
Company is terminated for any other reason, voluntarily or involuntarily, prior to the expiration
of the Restriction Period, then the Restricted Stock that has not vested as of the termination date
shall immediately be forfeited, ownership shall be transferred back to the Company and the
Restricted Stock shall become authorized but unissued Shares.

     (d) If the Board determines in good faith that the Participant has engaged in any Detrimental
Activity during the period that the Participant is employed by the Company or during the two-year
period following the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment or his termination by the
Company for Cause, then the Restricted Stock that has not vested as of the date of the Board
determination shall immediately be forfeited, ownership shall be transferred back to the Company
and the Restricted Stock shall become authorized but unissued Shares or, if the Restricted Stock
has already vested, the Participant shall repay to the Company the fair market value of the Shares
as of the Grant Date. For purposes of this Section 1(d), the parties hereto agree that the fair
market value of the Shares as of the Grant Date is $41.94 per share.

     2. Issuance of Shares.

     Certificates representing the Restricted Stock shall be registered in the Participant’s name
(or an appropriate book entry shall be made). Certificates, if issued, may, at the Company’s
option, either be held by the Company in escrow until the Restriction Period expires or until the
restrictions thereon otherwise lapse and/or be issued to the Participant and registered in the name
of the Participant, bearing an appropriate restrictive legend that refers to this Agreement and
remaining subject to appropriate stop-transfer orders. The Participant agrees to deliver to the
Board, upon request, one or more stock powers endorsed in blank relating to the Restricted Stock.
If and when the Restricted Stock vests and is no longer subject to forfeiture or transfer
restrictions, unlegended certificates for such Restricted Stock shall be delivered to the
Participant (subject to Section 6 pertaining to the withholding of taxes and Section 14 pertaining
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)); provided, however, that the
Board may cause such legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates as it may deem
advisable under Applicable Law.

 

 

     3. Rights as a Stockholder.

     Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, during the Restriction Period the
Participant shall have, with respect to the Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of
the Company, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to receive any
dividends or other distributions with respect thereto.

     4. Adjustments.

     If any change in corporate capitalization, such as a stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, or any corporate transaction such as a reorganization, reclassification, merger or
consolidation or separation, including a spin-off of the Company or sale or other disposition by
the Company of all or a portion of its assets, any other change in the Company’s corporate
structure, or any distribution to stockholders (other than a cash dividend) results in the
outstanding Shares, or any securities exchanged therefor or received in their place, being
exchanged for a different number or class of shares or other securities of the Company, or for
shares of stock or other securities of any other corporation, or new, different or additional
shares or other securities of the Company or of any other corporation being received by the holders
of outstanding Shares, then the shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement shall
be treated in the same manner as other outstanding Shares of the Company.

     5. Validity of Share Issuance.

     The shares of Restricted Stock have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of
the Company and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     6. Taxes and Withholding.

     As soon as practicable on or after the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in
the gross income of the Participant for federal income tax purposes with respect to this Award of
Restricted Stock, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to
the Company regarding the payment of, or the Company may deduct or withhold from any cash or
property payable to the Participant, an amount equal to all federal, state, local and foreign taxes
that are required by Applicable Law to be withheld with respect to such includible amount.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Participant may, if the Company
consents, discharge this withholding obligation by directing the Company to withhold shares of
Restricted Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date that the withholding obligation is incurred
equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld in connection with such vesting, as determined
by the Board.

     7. Notices.

     Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
addressed to it in care of its Secretary at its principal executive offices, and any notice to the
Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at the current address shown on the payroll
records of the Company. Any notice shall be deemed to be duly given if and when properly addressed
and posted by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid.

     8. Legal Construction.

          Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan or this Agreement under
any law with respect to which the Plan or this Agreement is intended to qualify, or would cause
compensation deferred under the Plan to be includible in a Plan participant’s gross income pursuant
to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as determined by the Board,
such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to Applicable Law or, if it cannot
be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board, materially altering the
intent of the Plan or the Agreement, it shall be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.

          Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender shall include the
other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and words in the plural shall include
the singular.

construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Mississippi.

     9. Incorporation of Plan.

Agreement hereby incorporates and makes a part hereof, all terms and conditions of the Plan that
are applicable to Agreements and Awards generally and to Restricted Stock Awards in particular.
The Board has the right to interpret, construe and administer the Plan, this Agreement and the
Restricted Stock Award made pursuant hereto. All acts, determinations and decisions of the Board
made or taken pursuant to grants of authority under the Plan or with respect to any questions
arising in connection with the administration and interpretation of the Plan, including the
severability of any and all of the provisions thereof, shall be in the Board’s sole discretion and
shall be conclusive, final and binding upon all parties, including the Company, its stockholders,
Participants, Eligible Participants and their estates, beneficiaries and successors. The
Participant acknowledges that he has received a copy of the Plan.

     10. No Implied Rights.

     Neither this Agreement nor the issuance of any Restricted Stock shall confer on the
Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company.
Except as may otherwise be limited by a written agreement between the Company and the Participant,
and acknowledged by the Participant, the right of the Company to terminate at will the
Participant’s employment with it at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge, retirement or
otherwise) is specifically reserved by the Company.

     11. Integration.

     This Agreement and the other documents referred to herein, including the Plan, or delivered
pursuant hereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to their subject
matter. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, representations, warranties, covenants
or undertakings with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those expressly set forth
herein and restrictions imposed by the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws . This
Agreement, including the Plan, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the
parties with respect to its subject matter.

Participant, amend this Agreement and the Restricted Stock Award made pursuant hereto in response
to, or to comply with changes in, Applicable law. To the extent not inconsistent with the terms of
the Plan, the Board may, at any time, amend this Agreement in a manner that is not unfavorable to
the Participant without the consent of the Participant. The Board may amend this Agreement and the
Restricted Stock Award made pursuant hereto otherwise with the written consent of the Participant.

     14. Securities Act.

          (a) The issuance and delivery of the Restricted Stock to the Participant have been registered
under the Securities Act by a Registration Statement on Form S-8 that has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and has become effective. The Participant acknowledges
receipt from the Company of its Prospectus dated February 23, 2006, relating to the Restricted
Stock.

          (b) If the Participant is an “affiliate” of the Company, which generally means a director,
executive officer or holder of 10% or more of its outstanding shares, at the time certificates
representing Restricted Stock are delivered to the Participant, such certificates shall bear the
following legend, or other similar legend then being generally used by the Company for certificates
held by its affiliates:

 

 

“THESE SHARES MUST NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT
IN A TRANSACTION WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE ISSUER, IS EXEMPT FROM
REGISTRATION THROUGH COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 OR WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION.”

          The Company shall remove such legend upon request by the Participant if, at the time of such
request, the shares are eligible for sale under SEC Rule 144(k), or any provision that has replaced
it, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel.

     15. Arbitration.

          Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Restricted Stock Agreement shall
be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial
Arbitration Rules and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Participant has executed this Agreement on his own behalf, thereby
representing that he has carefully read and understands this Agreement and the Plan as of the day
and year first written above, and the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed in its name

     2. Air Service to the New Airport.

     (a) During the Term, Southwest agrees to provide air service to the New Airport consisting of

Air Service shall commence on or about the day the New Airport opens for

-3-

 

commercial flight operations (currently scheduled for May 2010), subject to the conditions

scheduled flights per day to each of the Flight Destinations, Southwest may, consistent with its
flight scheduling policies and procedures, reduce flight capacity on certain days due to
maintenance reasons or a Force Majeure Event, or any other reason related to the safety and

     (b) Southwest’s obligation to commence the Air Service shall be conditioned upon the following
(unless any such conditions are waived by Southwest, in its sole discretion, in written notice to
JOE):

     (1) the certification of the New Airport to commence commercial flight
operations by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Transportation Security
Administration on or before April 15, 2010;

     (2) receipt by the Airport Authority of a certificate of occupancy authorizing
the use of the airport facilities for the purposes for which they were constructed
on or before April 15, 2010;

     (3) the execution of one or more agreements between Southwest and the Airport

Agreement, Southwest may, in its sole discretion, add additional flights to and from the New
Airport, either to the same destinations included in the Flight Destinations or to other

shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement (not defined as “Air Service”) and the revenues and
costs of such additional flights shall not be included in any calculation contemplated under this
Agreement.

-4-

 

     3. Break Even Payments.

     (a) Within twenty (20) days after the conclusion of each Calendar Quarter, Southwest shall
deliver to JOE a detailed statement (the “Quarterly Statement”), together with any relevant
supporting documentation, showing various calculations for such Calendar Quarter and for the
Calendar Year and Agreement-to-date through the conclusion of such Calendar Quarter, including any
Quarterly Shortfalls, Quarterly Gains, Annual Shortfalls, Annual Gains and Break Even Payments made
by JOE. The form of the Quarterly Statement is included on Exhibit D.

     (b) Calculations and payments made with respect to each Calendar Quarter during the Term shall
be accounted for cumulatively within each Calendar Year. Therefore, in the event a Quarterly
Shortfall calculation shows that the Quarterly Revenues are greater than the Total Break Even Costs
for the Calendar Quarter (the “Quarterly Gain”), Southwest shall remit to JOE a cash payment for
such Calendar Quarter to the extent of the aggregate amount of any prior Break Even Payments within
the same Calendar Year, up to the amount of the Quarterly Gain. Furthermore, in the event the
amount of any Quarterly Gain exceeds all prior Break Even Payments within the same Calendar Year,
such excess Quarterly Gain shall be applied in any future Quarterly Shortfall calculations within
the same Calendar Year, to reduce the amount of the Break Even Payment. However, such cumulative
calculations and payments shall not carry over beyond a Calendar Year. To the extent Southwest has
an Annual Shortfall or an Annual Gain in a Calendar Year, that Annual Shortfall or Annual Gain
shall not be subject to future cumulative calculations. Each Calendar Year shall be treated
separately with regard to the calculation of shortfalls or gains and once completed, those amounts
would not be subject to clawback.

     (c) JOE shall have the obligation to make the Break Even Payments to Southwest during the Term
(and thereafter until all such payments have been made). JOE shall have thirty (30) days from the
receipt of each Quarterly Shortfall calculation provided for in Section 3(a) to make the Break Even
Payment, if any, to Southwest. Any payment by Southwest to JOE in connection with the Quarterly
Shortfall calculation provided for in Section 3(b) shall accompany the applicable Quarterly
Statement delivered to JOE by Southwest.

     (d) In addition to the Quarterly Statements to be provided pursuant to Section 3(a), Southwest
shall provide JOE, within twenty (20) days of the end of each calendar month, a summary of the Fuel
Costs for the prior calendar month, containing the information set forth in Exhibit B.

     (e) Southwest agrees that it will provide reasonable information to JOE to assist them in
developing hedging strategies related to the Fuel Costs.

     (f) Southwest agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue and obtain
Cost Mitigation Measures.

     (g) The Minimum Revenues and the Non-Fuel Expenses are based on the Air Service as described
herein. In the event that the parties agree to change or modify the Air Service pursuant to
Section 2(a) such that, if in the commercially reasonable judgment of the parties the Minimum
Revenues and the Non-Fuel Expenses are likely to be materially different from the estimates

-5-

 

provided in Exhibit A, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to mutually agree upon
revised amounts that reflect such changes or modifications for the Minimum Revenues and the
Non-Fuel Expenses for purposes of this Agreement.

     (h) It is the intent of the parties that, to the extent any Annual Gains are available during
the Term of this Agreement, that such Annual Gains shall be shared, in accordance with this
subsection: (1) in consideration and up to JOE’s cumulative Break Even Payments made under this
Agreement; and (2) to the extent that Southwest’s cumulative Actual Revenues are less than
cumulative Minimum Revenues hereunder. Therefore, in addition to the calculations and payments
made with respect to each Calendar Quarter, as set forth in 3(b), in the event there is an Annual
Gain at the conclusion of the 2011 Calendar Year or any subsequent Calendar Year during the Term,
then fifty percent (50%) of such Annual Gain shall be paid in cash to JOE within thirty (30) days
after the conclusion of such Calendar Year, up to an amount equal to any cumulative, unrecovered
Break Even Payments made by JOE to Southwest (and taking into account any Quarterly Gain payments
made pursuant to Section 3(b)). Fifty percent (50%) of such Annual Gain shall be applied by
Southwest to offset any cumulative revenue shortfall between Actual Revenues and Minimum Revenues
used in the Break Even Payment calculation. To the extent there is no cumulative revenue
shortfall, then 100% of the Annual Gain shall be paid to JOE up to the cumulative Break Even
Payments noted above. If no cumulative Break Even Payments are recorded, then 100% of the Annual
Gain will be retained by Southwest.

     4. Announcement of Air Service; Confidentiality.

     (a) Southwest and JOE shall issue a joint press release following the execution of this
Agreement. The content and timing of any press release issued regarding this Agreement and/or the
Air Service shall be mutually approved by both JOE and Southwest.

     (b) Each party agrees that during the Term all confidential information of a party (a
“disclosing party”) delivered or disclosed to the other party (a “restricted party”) in connection
with this Agreement shall be held and treated by the restricted party and its officers, employees,
agents, affiliates, consultants, advisers and attorneys (collectively, “Representatives”) in strict
confidence and shall not, without the prior written consent of the disclosing party, be disclosed
by the restricted party or its Representatives in any manner, in whole or in part, and will not be
used by restricted party’s Representatives, except as may be provided in this Agreement or as
required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or regulatory authority (including, but not
limited to, by interrogatory, request for information or documents, subpoena, deposition, civil
investigative demand or other legal process). Each party shall not disclose confidential
information of the other party to any person other than its Representatives who (a) need to know
the confidential information solely for purposes of complying with such party’s obligations under
this Agreement or its legitimate business purposes related to this Agreement and (b) shall be bound
by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those set forth herein.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, each party may make such
public disclosure of the terms of the Agreement or the Air Service as it may determine in good
faith and upon the advice of counsel to be required in connection with any applicable law,
regulation, legal process, or regulatory authority (“Required Disclosure”), but only to the extent
necessary for purposes of complying with the Required Disclosure. Prior to making any

-6-

 

Required Disclosure, the party subject to such Required Disclosure shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, give prior notice to the other party and afford the other party the
opportunity to protect against the disclosure of its confidential information.

     5. Marketing.

     (a) The parties recognize that the Bay County Tourist Development Council, the Panama City
Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Beaches of South Walton Tourist Development Council
(collectively, the “TDCs”) provide marketing resources that are essential to the success of the Air
Service. JOE agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to actively support Southwest’s efforts
to reach agreement with the TDCs regarding the coordination of marketing efforts for the Air
Service, and the parties will work together to ensure that such agreements allow Southwest to
direct the annual marketing spend and identify firms to perform the media and creative portions of
the spending during the term of this Agreement. As part of its support, JOE shall designate a JOE
representative to help inform and align the TDCs and other civic and community groups in Northwest
Florida for the purpose of coordination of marketing efforts for the Air Service.

     (b) JOE agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to actively support Southwest’s efforts
to reach agreement with Coastal Vision 3000 (“CV3000”) regarding the establishment of a program
through which CV3000 would provide to Southwest, at no cost to Southwest or its passengers, one
available room night at various hotels, condominiums or other rental properties in Northwest
Florida for every passenger enplaned by Southwest in connection with the Air Service, which room
nights would be available for use by Southwest in its marketing efforts in support of the Air
Service.

     6. Development of the New Airport.

     (a) Southwest and JOE shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to work with
the Airport Authority to help recommend and prioritize the development of the infrastructure of the
New Airport in ways that can stimulate economic activity and grow airline passengers in Northwest
Florida. These priorities should focus on infrastructure designed to significantly enhance the
passenger experience, including, but not limited to, the following:

          (1) Covered connections to parking and rental car areas;

          (2) State of the art baggage handling;

          (3) Regional signage;

          (4) Ground transportation infrastructure, including rental cars;

          (5) Landscaping;

          (6) Enhanced security;

     (b) Southwest and JOE shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to work with
the Airport Authority on any future development of the New Airport.

     (c) Southwest and JOE shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to work with
the Airport Authority to promote new economic activity and business development in Northwest
Florida, including, but not limited to, the following:

          (1) The promotion of coordinated local, regional and state economic
development initiatives; and

          (2) The establishment of a through-the-fence development program
with JOE for the New Airport and certain adjacent properties.

     (d) The parties recognize and acknowledge that neither Southwest nor JOE shall be under any
obligation to expend any funds for the undertakings contemplated by this Section 6.

     7. Representations and Warranties.

     (a) Southwest and JOE, each for its own account, hereby represent and warrant to each other as
follows:

          (1) Each party has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to do all acts and
things as are required or contemplated hereunder to be done, observed and performed by it.

          (2) This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by an authorized
officer of each party and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each party
enforceable against each party in accordance with its terms, provided that such enforceability is
subject to general principles of equity.

          (3) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by each party hereunder
do not and will not require the consent or approval of any regulatory authority or governmental
authority or agency having jurisdiction over such party, nor be in contravention of or in conflict
with the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of each party, or the
provision of any statute, judgment, order, indenture, instrument, agreement or undertaking, to
which each party is subject or is a party or by which the assets or properties of each party are or
may become bound.

          (4) In performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement, Southwest and JOE
shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, JOE represents and warrants for the
benefit of Southwest: (i) that the Break Even Payments provided for under Section 3, and any other
payments made to Southwest hereunder, shall not be derived from Airport Authority revenues; and
(ii) that the Airport Authority has had no involvement in the negotiation of this Agreement and
shall have no involvement in its administration or any determination for its

-8-

 

continuation or extension.

     8. Budgets; Meetings; Books and Records; Audit.

     (a) Southwest shall provide JOE with initial estimated budgets for the Fuel Costs, Start-up
Expenses and Cost Mitigation Measures within thirty (30) days after the date hereof. Thereafter,
during the Term, Southwest shall provide JOE, upon request, an updated estimated budget for the
following Calendar Quarter. JOE recognizes and acknowledges that such budget estimates shall be
provided for informational purposes only, and shall not impact the actual Quarterly Shortfall
calculations contemplated by this Agreement.

     (b) The parties shall meet monthly to review and discuss the Air Service performance and
discuss any proposed changes.

     (c) Southwest shall maintain, in accordance with its document retention policies and
procedures, accurate and current books and records with respect to the Fuel Costs, Start-up
Expenses, Cost Mitigation Measures and Actual Revenues.

     (d) JOE, or a third party engaged by JOE, which third party shall be reasonably acceptable to
Southwest and be bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as set forth in
this Agreement, may examine and/or audit the books and records of Southwest described in Section
8(c) above at Southwest’s offices described in Section 12(a) below (or such other location where
Southwest maintains such records in the ordinary course of its business), during normal business
hours, upon ten (10) days advance written notice to Southwest, to obtain or verify the information
described in this Agreement. JOE shall exercise such audit rights no more than once during any
twelve-month period. Any such audit shall be at the sole cost and expense of JOE.

     9. Additional Air Service. The parties acknowledge that a material consideration for JOE’s
willingness to enter into this Agreement is the importance of having the Air Service from the New
Airport be Southwest’s first and exclusive service in the region until the Air Service is well
established. Accordingly, Southwest agrees that it shall not commence air service to any airport
within 80 statute miles of the New Airport during the Term. In addition, in the event Southwest
develops a business case for initiating new air service to an airport that is more than 80 statute
miles but within 120 statute miles from the New Airport, Southwest shall discuss such service with
JOE, and shall meet with JOE to mutually negotiate changes to this Agreement. In the absence of
such agreed upon changes to this Agreement within thirty (30) days of such meeting, Southwest may
proceed to commence air service to the proposed new airport while not diminishing Air Service under
this Agreement; provided, however, the Minimum Revenues shall automatically increase to an amount
that is one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the amounts reflected on Exhibit A from the point of
commencing such new service until the earlier of the discontinuance of such new service or the end
of the Term. Notwithstanding any increase in Minimum Revenues pursuant to the preceding sentence,
the Minimum Revenues shall not be increased for the purposes of Section 11(d) hereof.

     10. Dispute Resolution Procedures. With respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement
that is not resolved through good faith discussions between the parties, the parties

-9-

 

agree that either party shall have the right to submit the dispute to non-binding mediation;
provided, that applicable statute of limitations will be tolled during the pendency of such
mediation. In the event the parties cannot in good faith agree on a mediator within thirty (30)
days after this Section is triggered, do not conduct and complete mediation within ninety (90) days
after this Section is triggered, or if the parties remain in dispute following such mediation, then
either party may seek appropriate relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of
Florida.

     11. Term and Termination.

     (a) The term of this Agreement shall be from the date hereof through the date that is three
(3) years after the commencement of the Air Service (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated
pursuant to the terms hereof.

     (b) The Agreement may be terminated by JOE upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to
Southwest if the Break Even Payments for the first Air Service Year exceed $14 million, or for the
second Air Service Year exceed $12 million.

     (c) The Agreement may be terminated by JOE immediately upon written notice to Southwest if
Southwest has not commenced Air Service within ninety (90) days after the New Airport is open for
commercial flight operations.

     (d) The Agreement may be terminated by Southwest upon thirty (30) days advance written notice
to JOE if the Actual Revenues achieved with respect to the Air Service during any Calendar Year are
less than the Minimum Revenues for such Calendar Year.

     (e) A party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to the
other party in the event a party breaches any material provision of this Agreement, including any
payment obligation hereunder, and such breach remains uncured for thirty (30) days after written
notice from the non-breaching party to the other party.

     (f) A party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other party in
the event the other party: (i) dissolves, becomes insolvent, generally fails to pay or admits in
writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) makes a general
assignment, arrangement, or composition agreement with or for the benefit of its creditors; or
(iii) files a petition in bankruptcy or institutes any claim under federal or state law for the
relief of debtors or seeks or consents to the appointment of an administrator, receiver, custodian
or similar official for the wind up of its business (or has such a petition or claim filed against
it and such petition, claim or appointment is not dismissed or stayed within thirty (30) days).

     12. Miscellaneous Provisions.

     (a) Notices. Any notice, demand, consent, authorization, request, approval or other
communication that a party is required, or may desire, to give to or make upon the other party
pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective and valid only if in writing, signed by the party
giving notice and delivered personally to the other party or sent by nationally recognized courier
or delivery service or by certified mail of the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid and
return receipt requested, or by facsimile, addressed to the other party as follows (or to such

intent of this Agreement.

are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately, and the exercise of any one remedy
shall not be deemed an election of such remedy to the exclusion of other remedies.

     (h) Waiver. No term or provision hereof shall be deemed waived and no breach excused unless
such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party claimed to have waived or
consented.

     (i) Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is declared void or
unenforceable in a particular situation, by any judicial or administrative authority, this
declaration shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation.

     (j) No Partnership; Independent Contractors. It is expressly understood and agreed that this

described herein or otherwise, except as may be expressly agreed to in writing by the parties.

     (k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which,

     (l) Section Headings. Section headings are for reference purposes only and shall not affect
the interpretation or meaning of this Agreement.

     (m) Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. If any date referenced

Agreement (other than the dispute resolution procedures described in Section 10 hereof), the
prevailing party shall be entitled to collect reasonable attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing
party and costs and expenses of such litigation whether at the trial level or on appeal.
