1. Condition to Delivery of Restricted Shares.
(a) Employee must deliver to the Company, within two (2) business days after the
earlier of (i) the date (the “Vesting Date”) on which any Restricted Shares become Vested
Shares, or (ii) the date the Employee makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code as to all or any portion of the Restricted Shares, either cash or a
certified check payable to the Company in the amount of all tax withholding obligations
(whether federal, state or local) imposed on the Company by reason of the vesting of the
Restricted Shares, or the making of an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code, as applicable, except as provided in Section 1(b).
(b) If the Employee does not make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code, in lieu of paying the withholding tax obligations in cash or by certified
check as required by Section 1(a), Employee may elect (the “Withholding Election”) to have
the actual number of shares of Common Stock that become Vested Shares reduced by the
smallest number of whole shares of Common Stock which, when multiplied by the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock, is sufficient to satisfy the amount of the tax withholding
obligations imposed on the Company by reason of the vesting of the Restricted Shares on the
applicable Vesting Date. Employee may make a Withholding Election only if all of the
following conditions are met:
(i) the Withholding Election must be made on or prior to the Vesting Date by
executing and delivering to the Company a properly completed Notice of Withholding
Election, in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto; and
(ii) any Withholding Election made will be irrevocable; however, the Executive
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) may, in its
sole discretion, disapprove and give no effect to any Withholding Election.
(c) Unless and until the Employee provides for the payment of the tax withholding
obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1, the Company shall have no
obligation to deliver any of the Vested Shares and may take any other actions necessary to
satisfy such obligations, including withholding of appropriate sums from other amounts
payable to the Employee. If the shares of Common Stock are being traded by brokers and the
Employee is not a “director” or “executive officer”, within the meaning of Section 13(k) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Section 402 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002), at the
time tax withholding obligations become due, at the request of the Employee, the Committee
may make, or authorize the making of, such arrangements with the Employee and a broker,
dealer or other “creditor” (as defined by Regulation T issued by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System) acting on behalf of the Employee for the receipt from such
broker, dealer or other “creditor” of cash by the Company in an amount necessary to satisfy
the Employee’s tax withholding obligations in exchange for delivery of a number of Vested
Shares directly to the broker, dealer or other “creditor” having a value equal to the cash
delivered.

2. Issuance of Restricted Shares.
(a) The Company shall issue the Restricted Shares as of the Grant Date in either manner
described below, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion:
(i) by the issuance of share certificate(s) evidencing Restricted Shares to the
Secretary of the Company or such other agent of the Company as may be designated by
the Committee or the Secretary (the “Share Custodian”); or
(ii) by documenting the issuance in uncertificated or book entry form on the
Company’s stock records.
Evidence of the Restricted Shares either in the form of share certificate(s) or book entry,
as the case may be, shall be held by the Company or Share Custodian, as applicable, until
the Restricted Shares become Vested Shares in accordance with the Vesting Schedule.
(b) If the shares of Common Stock are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Employee is determined by the Committee to be an
“affiliate” of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) under the
Securities Act, the Restricted Shares (and the Vested Shares resulting therefrom) shall be
evidenced only by physical share certificates.
(c) When the Restricted Shares become Vested Shares, the Company or the Share
Custodian, as the case may be, shall deliver the Vested Shares to the Employee or, at the
Company’s election, to a broker designated by the Company (the “Designated Broker”) by
either physical delivery of the share certificate(s) or book entry transfer, as applicable,
for the benefit of an account established in the name of the Employee, in either case,
after, to the extent applicable, payment by the Employee of the tax withholding obligations
pursuant to Section 1(a) and/or reduced by any Vested Shares withheld and returned to the
Company pursuant to Section 1(b) above or delivered to a broker, dealer or other “creditor”
as contemplated by Section 1(c) above (such reduced number of Vested Shares are referred to
in this Section 2(c) as the “Net Vested Shares”). If the number of Vested Shares includes a
fraction of a share, neither the Company nor the Share Custodian shall be required to
deliver the fractional share to the Employee, and the Company shall pay the Employee the
amount determined by the Company to be the estimated Fair Market Value therefor. At any
time after receipt by the Designated Broker, the Employee may require that the Designated
Broker deliver the Net Vested Shares to the Employee pursuant to such arrangements or
agreements as may exist between the Designated Broker and the Employee.
(d) In the event that the Employee forfeits any of the Restricted Shares, the Company
shall cancel the issuance on its stock records and, if applicable, the Share Custodian shall
promptly deliver the share certificate(s) representing the forfeited shares to the Company.
(e) Employee hereby irrevocably appoints the Share Custodian, and any successor
thereto, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Employee with full power and authority
to execute any stock transfer power or other instrument necessary to transfer any Restricted
Shares to the Company in accordance with this Award, in the name, place, and stead of the
Employee. The term of such appointment shall commence on the Grant Date of this Award and
shall continue until the last of the Restricted Shares are delivered to the Employee as
Vested Shares or are returned to the Company as forfeited Restricted Shares or as Vested
Shares withheld and returned to the Company pursuant to Section 1(b), as provided by the
applicable terms of this Award.
(f) Unless and until the Restricted Shares become Vested Shares, the Employee shall be
entitled to all rights applicable to holders of shares of Common Stock including, without
limitation, the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends or other distributions
thereon as provided by Section 4, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Award.
4
(g) In the event the number of shares of Common Stock is increased or reduced as a
result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock or the payment of a stock
dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock or other
transaction such as a merger, reorganization or other change in the capital structure of the
Company, the Employee agrees that any certificate representing shares of Common Stock or
other securities of the Company issued as a result of any of the foregoing shall be
delivered to the Share Custodian or recorded in book entry form, as applicable, and shall be
subject to all of the provisions of this Award as if initially granted hereunder.
3. Acknowledgement by Employee of Tax Election Opportunity. Employee acknowledges
that the award of the Restricted Shares constitutes a transfer of property for federal income tax
purposes under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code and that the Employee shall have the sole
responsibility for determining whether to elect early income tax treatment by making an election
permitted under Subsection (b) of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code and the sole
responsibility for effecting any such election in an appropriate and on a timely basis.
4. Dividends.
(a) The Employee shall be entitled to dividends or other distributions paid or made on
Restricted Shares but only as and when the Restricted Shares to which the dividends or other
distributions are attributable become Vested Shares. Dividends paid on Restricted Shares
will be held by the Company and transferred to the Employee, without interest, on such date
as the Restricted Shares become Vested Shares. Dividends or other distributions paid on
Restricted Shares that are forfeited shall be retained by the Company.
(b) The Company’s obligation under this Section 4 shall be an unfunded and unsecured
promise to pay. The Company shall not be obligated under any circumstances to fund its
financial obligations under this Section 4 prior to the date any dividends become payable
pursuant to the terms of this Award. All dividends held in the non-interest bearing account
described in Section 4(a) will remain general assets of the Company subject to the claims of
its general creditors. This Award does the Employee give you any ownership interest in the
assets of the Company, and all rights of ownership in the accumulated dividends attributable
to Restricted Shares that become Vested Shares shall be solely those of an unsecured general
creditor of the Company.
5. Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Shares.
(a) General Restrictions. Except as provided by this Award, the Employee shall
not have the right to make or permit to exist any transfer or hypothecation, whether
outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, of all or
any part of any right, title or interest in or to any Restricted Shares. Any such
disposition not made in accordance with this Award shall be deemed null and void. The
Company will not recognize, or have the duty to recognize, any disposition not made in
accordance with the Plan and this Award, and any Restricted Shares so transferred will
continue to be bound by the Plan and this Award. The Employee (and any subsequent holder of
Restricted Shares) may not sell, pledge or otherwise directly or indirectly transfer
(whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by
operation of law) any interest in or any beneficial interest in any Restricted Shares except
pursuant to the provisions of this Award. Any sale, pledge or other transfer (or any
attempt to effect the same) of any Restricted Shares in violation of any provision of the
Plan or this Award shall be void, and the Company shall not record such transfer,
assignment, pledge or other disposition on its books or treat any purported transferee or
pledgee of such Restricted Shares as the owner or pledgee of such Restricted Shares for any
purpose.
5
(b) Certain Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in this Section 5
will not apply with respect to transfers of the Restricted Shares pursuant to applicable
laws of descent and distribution; provided that the restrictions contained in this Section 5
will continue to be applicable to the Restricted Shares after any such transfer; and
provided further that the transferee(s) of such Restricted Shares must agree in writing to
be bound by the provisions of the Plan and this Award, including the provisions of Section
7.
6. Additional Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares shall have noted conspicuously on the
certificate a legend required under applicable securities laws and reflecting the transfer
restrictions set forth herein in addition to any other legend(s) as the Company deems
appropriate and the Employee shall not make any transfer of the Restricted Shares without
first complying with the restrictions on transfer described in such legends. Such legends
may include the following:
transfer is restricted
The shares evidenced by this certificate have been issued pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and
applicable state securities laws and as such may only be sold or otherwise transferred: (1)
pursuant to registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act,
including but not limited to Rule 144 thereunder, and the securities laws of any applicable
state or other jurisdiction; or (2) if, in the opinion of counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the issuer, such transfer is exempt from registration or is otherwise in
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer and
forfeiture provisions which also apply to the transferee as set forth in a restricted stock
Award, dated February
_____, 2011, a copy of which is available from the Company.
(b) Opinion of Counsel. No holder of Restricted Shares may sell, transfer,
assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of (whether with or without consideration and whether
voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law) any interest in or any beneficial
interest in any Restricted Shares, except (i) pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or (ii) in a transaction that fully complies with Rule
144, without first delivering to the Company an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in
form and substance to the Company) that neither registration nor qualification under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is required in connection with such
transfer.
7. Lock-up Agreement. The Employee hereby agrees that he will not, directly or
indirectly, sell, offer, contract to sell, grant of options for the purchase of, transfer the
economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Vested
Shares during the thirty (30) days prior to and the one hundred eighty (180) days (or any shorter
period permitted by the managing underwriter) after the effectiveness of any underwritten public
offering, except as part of such underwritten public offering or if otherwise permitted by the
Company. The Employee hereby agrees to execute and deliver any additional document or
acknowledgement reflecting the foregoing provisions or containing similar restrictions as may be
requested by the Company or its managing underwriters in connection with the initial public
offering of Common Stock. The Company may place a legend on any stock certificates representing
Vested Shares and may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Vested Shares in order
to enforce the foregoing restrictions.

8. Change in Capitalization.
(a) The number and kind of Restricted Shares shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a
subdivision or combination of shares or the payment of a stock dividend in shares of Common
Stock to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other increase or decrease in
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding effected without receipt of consideration
by the Company. No fractional shares shall be issued in making such adjustment. All
adjustments made by the Committee under this Section shall be final, binding, and
conclusive.
(b) In the event of a merger, consolidation, extraordinary dividend (including a
spin-off), reorganization, recapitalization, sale of substantially all of the Company’s
assets, other change in the capital structure of the Company, tender offer for shares of
Common Stock or a Change in Control, an appropriate adjustment may be made with respect to
the Restricted Shares such that other securities, cash or other property may be substituted
for the Common Stock held by the Share Custodian or recorded in book entry form pursuant to
this Award.
(c) The existence of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Award shall not affect the right
or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification,
reorganization or other change in its capital or business structure, any merger or
consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or
priorities as to the Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of
the Company, any sale or transfer of all or part of its business or assets, or any other
corporate act or proceeding.
9. Governing Laws. This Award shall be construed, administered and enforced according
to the laws of the State of North Carolina; provided, however, no Restricted Shares shall be issued
except, in the reasonable judgment of the Committee, in compliance with exemptions under applicable
state securities laws of the state in which the Employee resides, and/or any other applicable
securities laws.

heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of the parties.

18. Special Definitions.
(a) For purposes of this Award, the term “Cause” has the same meaning as provided in

absences; provided that the nature of such conduct shall be set forth with

current rate without the Employee’s consent, other than a reduction that also is
applied to substantially all other executive officers of the Company or Affiliate if
Employee’s reduction is substantially proportionate to, or no greater than, the

event (or, if later, thirty (30) days following the Employee’s knowledge of occurrence of
the event), the event must remain uncured after the expiration of sixty (60) days following
