        This Award Agreement dated _______ , is made by and between Jack Henry & Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and _______________ (“Participant”).
RECITALS:
        A.    Effective November 10, 2015, the Company's stockholders approved the Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, grant Shares of Performance Shares to eligible Service Providers of the Company and its Affiliates.
B.    Participant is a Service Provider of the Company or one of its Affiliates and the Company desires to encourage him/her to own Shares and to give him/her added incentive to advance the interests of the Company, and desires to grant Participant shares of Performance Shares of the Company under the terms and conditions established by the Committee.
AGREEMENT:

        In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
        1.    Incorporation of Plan.  All provisions of this Award Agreement and the rights of Participant hereunder are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan and the powers of the Committee therein provided.  Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement but not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
        2.    Grant of Performance Shares.  Effective as of the Date of Grant set forth above opposite the heading "Date of Grant," subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Award Agreement and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to Participant that number of Shares of Performance Shares identified above opposite the heading "Number of Performance Shares Granted" (the "Performance Shares"), but the number of such Performance Shares actually settled may be ultimately adjusted and determined pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and including Appendix A hereto. Each Performance Share shall initially be deemed to be the equivalent of one share of Stock; provided, however, that certain levels of 

achievement may result in settlement of less than one, or more than one, share of Stock (or its cash equivalent) for each Performance Share. In the sole discretion of the Committee, the Company may elect to settle a Performance Share for cash with a cash payment equal to the fair market value of each Performance Share the Committee elects to settle for cash.   
        3.    Restrictions; Company Stock Ownership Guidelines.  
(a)    Restrictions.  Except as may be permitted under the Plan or by the Committee, none of Participant's rights to payment hereunder are transferable by sale, assignment, disposition, gift, exchange, pledge, hypothecation, or otherwise.  Any attempted disposition of any of Participant's rights hereunder, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon any of the Performance Shares prior to settlement, shall be null and void and without effect.  Holding Performance Shares does not give Participant the rights of a shareholder (including without limitation the right to vote or receive dividends or other distributions) with respect to shares of Stock underlying the Performance Shares that the Company may issue under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b)    Company Stock Ownership Guidelines. Any Shares acquired by Participant on the Settlement Date pursuant to this Award may be subject to any Company stock ownership guidelines or stock ownership policy as determined appropriate by the Committee and communicated to Participant.  Participant agrees that Participant will comply with and adhere to such stock ownership guidelines or stock ownership policy.    
4.Settlement, Forfeiture and Share Issuance. 

(a)    Appendix A Performance Measures.  The performance measures applicable to the Performance Shares (the “Performance Measures”) are set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement.  By accepting the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to have consented to Appendix A, and Appendix A, its Performance Measures, terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference.  The Performance Measures relate to the Company's 20__, 20__, and 20__ fiscal years (each a “Performance Year”, and collectively the “Performance Period”).  Appendix A also sets forth the “Scheduled Settlement Date”, which, if it occurs due to achievement of one or more of the Performance Measures, shall follow the meeting of the Committee at which the applicable level of performance goal achievement is determined for Award purposes (“Applicable Committee Meeting”).  At the Applicable Committee Meeting following the 20__ Performance Year, the Committee shall conduct an objective analysis as to whether one or more of the Performance Measures have been satisfied.  If one or more of such Performance Measures have been satisfied, the Committee shall certify such achievement (“Certification”) and instruct the Company to begin the Performance Shares settlement process.  
(b)    Performance Settlement.  

(i)    The Performance Shares shall be settled in connection with Certification (as provided in Appendix A, but no earlier than any Scheduled Settlement Date).  Settlement shall not occur if Certification does not occur at the Applicable Committee Meeting in 20__ (the “Deadline”), and if Certification does not occur by the Deadline, no Performance Shares shall be settled and all of Participant's rights under this Agreement shall be forfeited as of the Deadline.   
(ii)    To the extent permissible under the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect to settle one or more Performance Shares by making a cash payment to Participant in an amount equal to the then fair market value of the share of Stock underlying the Performance Share being settled, less any amounts necessary to satisfy the Company's tax withholding obligations. 
(c)    Other Settlement.  
(i)    Effect of Change in Control on Award and Settlement. 

(A)    If a Change in Control occurs prior to the last day of the Performance Period, this Award shall automatically convert into a time-based vesting Award relating to a new number of Performance Shares determined under Section 4(c)(i)(B) and subject to the vesting condition and exceptions under Section 4(c)(i)(C). 

(B)    The new number of Performance Shares for purposes of this Section 4(c)(i) shall be equal to the sum of:

(I)    the greater of (a) the number of Shares subject to the TSR Measuring Goal set forth in Appendix A (i.e., the number that would be obtained if goal achievement were 100%) or (b) the number of Shares subject to the TSR Measuring Goal set forth in Appendix A and that would have been settled based on the actual level of TSR goal achievement if the date of such Change in Control event were the applicable measuring date for the TSR performance measure; plus

(II)    the number of Performance Shares subject to goals other than the TSR Measuring Goal (i.e., the number that would be obtained for all other non-TSR Measuring Goals) if goal achievement for each of such other performance measures were at 100%.

(C)    In the event that this Award Agreement is not converted, assumed, substituted, continued, or replaced (with substantially identical economic terms) by a successor or surviving entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, in connection with such 

Change in Control event, then, immediately prior to the Change in Control event, all of the Performance Shares (as adjusted under this Section 4(c)(i)) shall vest in full and be issued.  In the event that this Award Agreement is converted, assumed, substituted, continued, or replaced (with substantially identical economic terms) by a successor or surviving entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, in connection with the Change in Control event, then the Performance Shares (as adjusted under this Section 4(c)(i)) shall become vested, subject to Participant's continuous employment, on the last day of the Performance Period. In the event that the Participant's employment terminates before the last day of the Performance Period, the Performance Shares shall be forfeited; provided, however, if Participant experiences a Covered Termination (as defined below) prior to the last day of such Performance Period, then all of the Performance Shares (as adjusted under this Section 4(c)(i)) shall become immediately vested as of the date of the Covered Termination, and, provided, further, if the Participant dies, becomes Disabled or Retires prior to the last day of such Performance Period, the Participant or the Participant’s estate or beneficiary(ies) shall receive a pro rata portion of the Performance Shares (as adjusted under this Section 4(c)(i)), such pro rata portion determined in the same manner as set forth below in Section 4(c)(ii). 

(D)    Definitions. For purposes of this Section 4(c)(i):

(I)    “Covered Termination” means (a) the termination of the Participant's employment with the Company or the successor or surviving entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, in connection with the Change of Control event, within the period commencing 90 days prior to, and ending two years following such Change in Control event (the "Applicable Period") without Cause (as defined below), or (b) Participant’s resignation for Good Reason (as defined below) during the Applicable Period.   

(II)    "Cause" means (a) failure of the Participant to adequately perform his or her duties assigned by the Committee; or (b) any act or acts of gross dishonesty or gross misconduct on the Participant's part which result or are intended to result directly or indirectly in gain or personal enrichment at the expense of the Company or its subsidiaries to which the Participant is not legally entitled. 

(III)    "Good Reason" means (a) a material diminution of the Participant's authority, duties or responsibilities 

from those being exercised and performed by the Participant immediately prior to the Change in Control event; (b) a transfer of the Participant to a location which is more than 75 miles away from the location where the Participant was employed immediately prior to the Change in Control event; (c) a material diminution in the rate of the Participant's annual salary below his or her rate of annual salary immediately prior to the Change in Control event; (d) a material diminution in the Participant's annual target bonus opportunity below his or her annual target bonus opportunity immediately prior to the Change in Control event; or (e) a material breach by the Company of any incentive award agreement covering the Participant; provided, however, that Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist unless the Participant has first provided notice to the Company of the existence of one of the events described above within a period of 90 days from the initial existence of the event, and after such notice the Company has been provided a period of 30 days to eliminate the existence of Good Reason.

(ii)Effect of Death, Disability and Retirement on Settlement.  

(A)    Upon Participant's termination of employment due to Disability or “Retirement”, no forfeiture or accelerated settlement of the Performance Shares shall occur (except as provided in Section 4(c)(i) above).  Rather, on the Scheduled Settlement Date following the Applicable Committee Meeting, if Certification occurs, a pro rata portion of the Performance Shares subject to this Agreement shall be settled based on the period of time in the Performance Period that elapsed prior to Participant's termination of employment.   

(B)    Upon Participant's termination of employment due to death, settlement shall be accelerated such that a pro rata portion of the Performance Shares subject to this Agreement shall be settled based on the period of time in the Performance Period that elapsed prior to the Participant’s death. Such pro rata settlement shall occur as if goal achievement occurred at the level resulting in settlement of 100% of the Performance Shares subject to each applicable Performance Measure and shall be settled as soon as practicable following Participant’s death. 

For purposes of this Section 4(c)(ii), any pro rata portion of the Performance Shares being settled shall be determined by (I) dividing the aggregate number of Performance Shares Participant would have been entitled to receive had he or she been employed through the end of the Performance Period by 36 (i.e., the number of calendar months in the 

Performance Period), and then (II) multiplying the quotient obtained in (I) by the number of whole months elapsed from the commencement of the 20__ fiscal year to the date of Participant's death or termination of employment due to Disability or Retirement.  For purposes of this pro rata calculation, Participant must have been actively employed as a full-time employee for an entire calendar month in the Performance Period to receive credit that month.  

For purposes of this Agreement “Retirement” means a Participant’s termination of employment for the express reason of retirement, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, for which Participant has provided the Company at least 6 months’ prior notice and occurs (a) on or after age 55 and following a minimum number of years of employment with the Company such that Participant’s age plus the number of years of employment with the Company equals or exceeds 72, or (b) on or after age 65.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Participant must (1) have been actively employed as a full-time employee for an entire calendar year to receive credit for such year of employment for purposes of this definition of “Retirement” and (2) have been actively employed as a full-time employee for six months following the Date of Award to qualify as a “Retirement” for the purposes of this Agreement. If Participant is not actively employed as a full-time employee for six months following the Date of Award, the Award will not be administered as subject to a “Retirement” under this Agreement.

(d)    Forfeiture.  Subject to the other provisions of this Section 4, all rights relating to any non-settled Performance Shares shall be forfeited if either (A) Certification does not occur prior to or on the Deadline, or (B) Participant ceases to be employed by the Company during the Performance Period (except as provided in Section 4(c) above). Participant is not deemed to have terminated employment through, and Participant's rights relating to the Performance Shares shall not be forfeited solely as a result of, any change in Participant's duties or position or Participant's temporary leave of absence approved by the Company. Upon any such forfeiture, under no circumstances will the Company be obligated to make any payment to Participant, and no shares of Stock shall be issued, as a result of such forfeited Performance Shares.   
(e)    Share Issuance.  Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the settlement of a specific number of Performance Shares, for shares of Stock, as provided in Paragraphs 4(b) or (c), the Company shall issue a corresponding number of shares of Stock to Participant on the Settlement Date, provided that tax withholding obligations have been satisfied as provided in Section 5.  The Company’s transfer agent may issue shares of Stock in certificated or book entry form as determined by the Company’s Corporate Secretary.  Upon issuance of the Shares, Participant shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect thereto including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to the shares of Stock.  

(f)    Payments to Third Party. Upon death of Participant followed by a valid written request for payment, the shares of Stock, to the extent eligible to be issued, shall be issued as soon as administratively practical to Participant’s beneficiary named in a written beneficiary designation filed with the Company’s Corporate Secretary on a form for the Plan or, if there is no such designated beneficiary, to Participant’s executor or administrator or other personal representative acceptable to the Corporate Secretary.  Any request to pay any person or persons other than Participant shall be accompanied by such documentation as the Company may reasonably require, including without limitation, evidence satisfactory to the Company of the authority of such person or persons to receive the payment. 
5.    Tax Withholding; Withholding with Stock.  The Company's obligations to issue Shares in connection with the settlement of any Performance Shares is subject to the Participant's satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and local income and other tax (including Social Security and Medicare taxes) withholding requirements. Unless specifically denied by the Committee, Participant may elect to pay any portion of the required tax withholding amounts (or greater amounts if permitted by the Committee) by electing to have the Company withhold upon settlement a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the withholding date equal to the minimum amount (or greater amount if permitted by the Committee) elected to be withheld by the Participant.  Any withholding obligations satisfied through the withholding of Shares shall be in accordance with any rules or established procedures for election by Participant including any rules or restrictions relating to the period of time any previously acquired Shares have been held or owned, the timing of any elections, the irrevocability of any elections, or any special rules relating to Participant if Participant is an officer or trustee of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the 1934 Act.   
6.    Dividends and Voting.  Prior to a Performance Share settlement date, Participant shall have no right to receive any dividends or dividend equivalent payments with respect to the Performance Shares.  Participant will have no voting rights with respect to any of the Performance Shares.
7.    Administration.  This Award has been made pursuant to a determination made by the Committee, subject to the express terms of this Agreement, and the Committee shall have plenary authority to interpret any provision of this Agreement and to make any determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Agreement and may waive or amend any provisions hereof in any manner not adversely affecting the rights granted to Participant by the express terms hereof.
8.    No Right to Continued Service.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any limitation or restriction on such rights as the Company otherwise would have to terminate the employment of Participant.
9.    Compliance with Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with Code Section 409A and regulations and other guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”).  For purposes of determining whether any payment 

made pursuant to this Agreement results in a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b), Company shall maximize the exemptions described in such section, as applicable.  Any reference to a “termination of employment” or similar term or phrase shall be interpreted as a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.  If any deferred compensation payment is payable while Participant is a “specified employee” under Section 409A, and payment is due because of separation from service for any reason other than death, then payment of such amount shall be delayed for a period of six months and paid in a lump sum on the first payroll payment date following the earlier of the expiration of such six month period or Participant's death.  To the extent any payments under this Agreement are made in installments, each installment shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A and the regulations issued thereunder.  Participant or his or her beneficiary, as applicable, shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on Participant or his or her beneficiary in connection with any payments to Participant or his or her beneficiary pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to any taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A, and Company shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Participant or his or her beneficiary harmless from any and all of such taxes and penalties.
10.    Amendment.  This Award Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by the parties hereto which specifically states that it is amending this Award Agreement.
11.    Governing Law.  The laws of the State of Delaware will govern the interpretation, validity and performance of this Award Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.  Participant is deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of Missouri to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to this Award Agreement.
12.    Clawback Policy. The Performance Shares may be subject to certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank”), the Company’s Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy or any other compensation clawback policy that is adopted by the Committee and that will require the Company to be able to claw back compensation paid to its executives under certain circumstances. Participant acknowledges that the Performance Shares may be clawed back by the Company in accordance with any policies and procedures adopted by the Committee in order to comply with Dodd Frank or as set forth in this Award Agreement.
13.    Entire Agreement and Binding Effect.  This Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof.  They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) that relate to the subject matter hereof.  Except as expressly stated herein to the contrary, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

14.    Titles.  Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Award Agreement.

CLIFF SETTLEMENT 

(Settlement occurs based upon the level of achievement of the Performance Measures) 
Achievement of the Performance Measures set forth below for the Performance Period (FY20__-FY20__) ("Performance Condition") is required for settlement, and settlement may occur no earlier than the first (1st) business day following the Applicable Committee Meeting (the “Scheduled Settlement Date”), except in the case of a Change in Control or as otherwise provided in the Agreement and this Appendix.
Calculation of the number of Performance Shares eligible to be settled depends on (i) the applicable percentage of the Performance Shares that are subject to Total Stockholder Return ("TSR") measures of the Company and the level of achievement of the Company's TSR compared to the applicable comparator group, (ii) the applicable percentage of the Performance Shares that are subject to a three-year Organic Revenue Growth (CAGR) measure of the Company and the level of achievement of the Company against specified thresholds, and (iii) the applicable percentage of the Performance Shares that are subject to a three-year Non-GAAP Operating Margin Expansion measure of the Company and the level of achievement of the Company against specified thresholds.  
The TSR measure, the Organic Revenue Growth (CAGR) measure, and the Non-GAAP Operating Margin Expansion measure are each subject to certain measurement and adjustment principles as set forth immediately following each applicable measuring goal below. In addition, the Committee has the sole discretion to administer, interpret and make adjustments as necessary to determine the number of the Performance Shares that should vest, if any, based on each of the measures.

Divided by 
(ii) The beginning stock price (average of the closing prices for the trading days during the 30 consecutive calendar days ending on June 30, 20__).

    A.    The Company’s stockholders and Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) has adopted the Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) pursuant to which restricted stock units may be granted to employees of the Company; and 
    B.    The Company desires to grant restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to Awardee under the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
AGREEMENT:
        In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
        1.    Award Subject to Plan.  This Award is made under and is expressly subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan, and which terms are incorporated herein by reference.  Awardee agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan.  Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Plan.
        2.    Grant of Award.  Pursuant to the action of the undersigned officer as authorized by the Board, which action was taken on the date set forth above as Date of Award, the Company awards to Awardee the number of Restricted Stock Units identified above.  Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, settlement of each RSU as provided in Section 4 entitles Awardee to the issuance of one share of Common Stock, or, if permitted under the Plan and where the Board elects to settle an RSU for cash, a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the share underlying the RSU that the Board elects to settle for cash.   
        3.    Restrictions.  Except as may be permitted under the Plan or by the Board, the RSUs are not transferable by sale, assignment, disposition, gift, exchange, pledge, hypothecation, or otherwise.  Any attempted disposition of the RSUs, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the RSUs prior to settlement, shall 

be null and void and without effect.  Holding RSUs does not give Awardee the rights of a shareholder (including without limitation the right to vote or receive dividends or other distributions) with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs that the Company may issue under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
4.    Settlement, Forfeiture and Share Issuance. 

(a)    Settlement Dates.  The RSUs awarded hereunder shall settle according to the following schedule (each anniversary, a “Settlement Date”), with the percentages below being applied to the Award by rounding down to the nearest whole share:
    Anniversary of Date of Award    Percentage Settled
        First Anniversary             33 1/3%
        Second Anniversary             33 1/3%
        Third Anniversary             33 1/3%

(b)    Form of Settlement.    To the extent permissible under the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect to settle an RSU by issuing shares of Common Stock or by making a cash payment to Awardee in an amount equal to the then fair market value of the share of Common Stock underlying the RSU being settled, less any amounts necessary to satisfy the Company's tax withholding obligations. 

(c)    Forfeiture.  

(i)    Subject to the other provisions of this Section 4, all remaining non-settled RSUs shall be forfeited if Awardee ceases to be an employee of the Company prior to any of the Settlement Dates. Upon any such forfeiture, under no circumstances will the Company be obligated to make any payment to Awardee, and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued, as a result of such forfeited RSUs.

(ii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Awardee ceases to be an employee of the Company by reason of Retirement prior to full settlement of the RSUs awarded hereunder, then the Awardee shall be entitled to settlement of any non-settled RSUs according to the remaining Settlement Date schedule, and such settlement shall be made in accordance with Section 4(b). However, if, following a termination of employment by reason of Retirement, Awardee breaches any of the covenants set forth in Section 4(e) hereof, all remaining non-settled RSUs shall be forfeited pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) effective as of such breach.

(iii)    For purposes of this Agreement, a “Retirement” means an Awardee’s termination of employment for the express reason of retirement, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, for which Awardee has provided the Company at least 6 months’ prior notice and occurs (A) on or after age 55 and following a minimum number of years of employment with the Company such that Awardee’s age plus the 

number of years of employment with the Company equals or exceeds 72, or (B) on or after age 65.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Awardee must (1) have been actively employed as a full-time employee for an entire calendar year to receive credit for such year of employment for purposes of this definition of “Retirement” and (2) have been actively employed as a full-time employee for six months following the Date of Award to qualify as a “Retirement” for the purposes of this Agreement. If Awardee is not actively employed as a full-time employee for six months following the Date of Award, the Award will not be administered as subject to a “Retirement” under this Agreement.

(d)    Share Issuance; Company Stock Ownership Guidelines.  
(i)    Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the settlement of a specific number of RSUs for shares of Common Stock as provided in this Section, the Company shall issue a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock to Awardee on the Settlement Date provided that tax withholding obligations have been satisfied as provided in Section 5.  The Company’s transfer agent may issue shares of Common Stock in certificated or book entry form as determined by the Company’s Corporate Secretary.  Upon issuance of the Shares, Awardee shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect thereto including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to the shares of Common Stock. 
(ii)    Any Shares acquired by Awardee on the Settlement Date pursuant to this Award may be subject to any Company stock ownership guidelines or stock ownership policy as determined appropriate by the Committee and communicated to Awardee.  Awardee agrees that Awardee will comply with and adhere to such stock ownership guidelines or stock ownership policy.    
(e)    Restrictive Covenants in the event of Retirement.  
(i)    Awardee acknowledges that in consideration of the continued vesting of RSUs after Awardee ceases to be an employee of the Company by reason of Retirement, Awardee shall, from the time of Retirement through the final Settlement Date hereunder (the “Restrictive Period”), abide by the restrictive covenants in Section 4(e)(ii), (iii), and (iv) hereunder (together, the “Restrictive Covenants”). Awardee further acknowledges that a failure to abide by the Restrictive Covenants during the Restrictive Period shall result in forfeiture of non-settled RSUs pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii). 
(ii)    During the Restrictive Period, Awardee agrees and covenants not to engage in Prohibited Activity anywhere in the United States. For purposes of this Section 4(e)(ii), “Prohibited Activity” is any activity in which the Awardee serves as an employee, employer, owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, agent, partner, director, 

stockholder, officer, volunteer, or any similar capacity to an entity engaged in the same or similar business as the Company. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Awardee from purchasing or owning less than five percent (5%) of the publicly traded securities of any corporation, provided that such ownership represents a passive investment and the Awardee is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such corporation. 
(iii)    During the Restrictive Period, Awardee agrees and covenants not to directly or indirectly (i) solicit, contact, aid, or induce, or attempt to solicit, contact, aid, or induce, using any form of oral, written, or electronic communication, any current, former, or prospective customer of the Company for the purpose of purchasing goods or services then sold by the Company from any other person, firm, corporation, or other entity or assist or aid any other person or entity in identifying or soliciting any such customer, (ii) solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit, or to induce or attempt to induce the termination of employment of any employee of the Company, or (iii) interfere, or aid or induce any other person or entity in interfering, with the relationship between the Company and any of its vendors, joint venturers, or licensors.
(iv)    During the Restrictive Period, Awardee agrees and covenants that Awardee will not make, publish, or communicate to any person or entity or in any public forum any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments, or statements concerning the Company or its businesses, or any of its employees or officers. The foregoing shall not be violated by exercising protected legal rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from providing truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or similar proceedings. 
(v)    The Company and Awardee acknowledge that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interest of the Company. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this Section 4(e) is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state.
(f)    Effect of Change in Control on Award and Settlement.
(i)    In the event a Change in Control occurs prior to full settlement of the RSUs awarded hereunder and this Award Agreement is not converted, assumed, substituted, continued, or replaced (with substantially identical economic terms) by a successor or surviving entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, in connection with such Change in Control event, then, immediately prior to the Change in Control event, all remaining non-settled RSUs shall vest in full and be issued.

(ii)    In the event that this Award Agreement is converted, assumed, substituted, continued, or replaced (with substantially identical economic terms) by a successor or surviving entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, in connection with the Change in Control event, if Awardee’s employment terminates prior to the final Settlement Date, all remaining non-settled RSUs shall be forfeited; provided, however, if Awardee experiences a Covered Termination (as defined below) prior to the final Settlement Date, then all remaining non-settled RSUs shall vest in full and be issued.
(iii)    For purposes of this Section 4(f), “Covered Termination” means (A) the termination of the Awardee’s employment with the Company or the successor or surviving entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, in connection with the Change of Control event, within the period commencing 90 days prior to, and ending two years following such Change in Control event (the “Applicable Period”) without Cause (as defined below), or (B) Awardee’s resignation for Good Reason (as defined below) during the Applicable Period.
(iv)    For purposes of this Section 4(f), “Cause” means (A) failure of the Awardee to adequately perform his or her duties assigned by the Committee; or (B) any act or acts of gross dishonesty or gross misconduct on the Awardee’s part which result or are intended to result directly or indirectly in gain or personal enrichment at the expense of the Company or its subsidiaries to which the Awardee is not legally entitled.
(v)    “Good Reason” means (A) a material diminution of the Awardee’s authority, duties or responsibilities from those being exercised and performed by the Awardee immediately prior to the Change in Control event; (B) a transfer of the Awardee to a location which is more than 75 miles away from the location where the Awardee was employed immediately prior to the Change in Control event; (C) a material diminution in the rate of the Awardee’s annual salary below his or her rate of annual salary immediately prior to the Change in Control event; (D) a material diminution in the Awardee’s annual target bonus opportunity below his or her annual target bonus opportunity immediately prior to the Change in Control event; or (E) a material breach by the Company of any incentive award agreement covering the Awardee; provided, however, that Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist unless the Awardee has first provided notice to the Company of the existence of one of the events described above within a period of 90 days from the initial existence of the event, and after such notice the Company has been provided a period of 30 days to eliminate the existence of Good Reason.
5.    Tax Withholding.  Awardee understands and agrees that, at the time any tax withholding obligation arises relating to the vesting of the right to receive, or the issuance of a share of Common Stock or, if permitted under the Plan, a cash payment, the Company may withhold, in shares of Common Stock if a valid election applies under 

this Section 5 or in cash from amounts the Company owes or will owe Awardee, any applicable minimum withholding, payroll and other required tax amounts due upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock or cash payment.  Tax withholding may be made by any means permitted under the Plan, as approved by the Committee, and as permitted under the law.  The valuation of the RSUs, and any shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue attributable to RSUs, for tax and other purposes shall be determined in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.  In the absence of the satisfaction of tax obligations, the Company may refuse to issue shares of Common Stock or make any other payment hereunder.    
6.    Dividends and Voting.  Prior to an RSU settlement date, Awardee shall have no right to receive any dividends or dividend equivalent payments with respect to the RSUs.  Awardee will have no voting rights with respect to any of the RSUs or the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs.
7.    Administration.  This Award has been made pursuant to a determination made by the Board, or a committee authorized by the Board, subject to the express terms of this Agreement, and the Board or such committee shall have plenary authority to interpret any provision of this Agreement and to make any determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Agreement and may waive or amend any provisions hereof in any manner not adversely affecting the rights granted to Awardee by the express terms hereof.
8.    No Right to Continued Service.   Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any limitation or restriction on such rights as the Company otherwise would have to terminate the employment of the Awardee.
9.    Amendment; Entire Agreement and Binding Effect.  This Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by the parties hereto which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement.  This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof.  They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) that relate to the subject matter hereof.  Except as expressly stated herein to the contrary, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 
10.    Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  Awardee is deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of Missouri to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to this agreement.
    The Company has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf, and Awardee has signed this Agreement to evidence Awardee’s acceptance of the terms hereof, all as of the date first above written.
