- RECITALS -
WHEREAS, the Company on the day of its 2006 Annual Meeting, by action of its shareholders, adopted and approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”);
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Plan is to enable selected and key employees of the Presidential Companies to acquire an ownership interest in the Company through such Plan, and to provide such employees with a more direct stake in the future and welfare of the Presidential Companies and to encourage them to remain with the Company or its subsidiaries;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the Company is authorized to grant to employees of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Presidential Life Insurance Company (the “Insurance Company” and, collectively with the Company, the “Presidential Companies”) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Program of the Company, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has exercised its discretion to award the Participant an award of shares of Common Stock (each, a “Share”) subject to the restrictions as set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant agree as follows:
| 1. | Award of Shares of Restricted Stock. |
This Agreement evidences the grant by the Committee, on March 1, 2012 (the “Award Date”), to the Participant of 4,660 Shares under the Plan, subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions of this Agreement. Pursuant to Articles 2, 3, 4 and 7 below, the Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions and possible risk of forfeiture (the “Restrictions”). While the Restrictions are in effect, the Shares subject to such restrictions shall be referred herein as “Shares of Restricted Stock.”
| 2. | Acceptance. |
The Participant shall forfeit this award of Shares of Restricted Stock if the Participant does not execute this Agreement within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date the Participant receives this Agreement (or such other period as the Committee shall provide). In the event that this award of Shares of Restricted Stock is not accepted within such time period, this Agreement shall be null and void and this award of Shares of Restricted Stock shall not be valid.
| 3. | Restriction on Transfer. |
Except as required by law or the laws of descent or distribution, or as otherwise provided in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Plan, the Shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Participant may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred or permitted to be transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of until the Shares of Restricted Stock vest in accordance with Article 4 below (the “Period of Restriction”). Any attempted sale, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, assignment or other disposition of any Shares of Restricted Stock in violation of the Plan or this Agreement shall be void and of no effect and the Company shall have the right to disregard the same on its books and records and to issue “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent.
| 4. | Vesting. |
| a. | In General. Subject to this Article 4, Shares of Restricted Stock shall become vested, and accordingly, the Restrictions shall no longer apply pursuant to the following schedule, which shall be cumulative; provided that the Participant has not had a Termination at any time prior to the applicable “Vesting Date”: |
| Vesting Date | Portion of Shares of Restricted Stock to Vest | |
| January 1, 2013 | One-third (1/3) of Shares of Restricted Stock | |
| January 1, 2014 | One-third (1/3) of Shares of Restricted Stock | |
| January 1, 2015 | One-third (1/3) of Shares of Restricted Stock |
Vested Shares shall be delivered to the Participant within thirty (30) days following the applicable Vesting Date.
| b. | Termination due to death and Disability. Upon the Participant’s Termination due to death or Disability, all Shares of Restricted Stock, to the extent unvested, shall vest in full immediately upon such Termination, and such vested Shares shall be delivered to the Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative, if applicable) within thirty (30) days following such Termination. |
| c. | Termination by the Presidential Companies Other than for Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason. Upon the Participant’s Termination by any of the Presidential Companies for any reason other than for Cause, or by the Participant for Good Reason, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock that would have vested on the individual Vesting Date next following such Termination shall vest on the date of such Termination and such vested Shares shall be delivered to the Participant within thirty (30) days following such Termination. All other unvested Shares of Restricted Stock and any rights thereto shall be forfeited along with any dividends of cash or other property that have accrued with respect to such forfeited Shares of Restricted Stock. |
| 2 |
| d. | Termination by the Presidential Companies Other than for Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, in each case following a Change in Control. Upon the Participant’s Termination by any of the Presidential Companies for any reason other than for Cause, or by the Participant for Good Reason, in each case during the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control (as defined in Article 5 below), all Shares of Restricted Stock, to the extent unvested, shall vest in full immediately upon such Termination and shall be delivered to Participant within thirty (30) days following such Termination. |
| e. | Other Terminations. Upon any Termination that is not described in Article 4(b), (c) or (d) above (including a Termination by any of the Presidential Companies for Cause or a Termination by the Participant without Good Reason), all unvested Shares of Restricted Stock and any rights thereto shall be forfeited along with any dividends of cash or other property that have accrued with respect to such forfeited Shares of Restricted Stock. |
| f. | Other Agreement Terms. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Shares of Restricted Stock shall become vested at such earlier times and/or in such amounts, if any, as may be expressly provided for in a written agreement between any of the Presidential Companies and the Participant in effect as of the Award Date. |
| g. | Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: |
| (i) | “Disability” shall mean that the Participant shall fail, because of physical or mental infirmity or similar incapacity, to render for one hundred eighty consecutive days, or for shorter periods aggregating one hundred eighty or more days in any twelve month period, material services to one or more of the Presidential Companies. |
| (ii) | “Cause” shall mean with respect to the Participant’s Termination from and after the date hereof, the following: (a) in the case where there is no employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between any of the Presidential Companies and the Participant at the time of the grant of the award (or where there is such an agreement but it does not define “cause” (or words of like import)), termination due to a Participant’s dishonesty, fraud, commission of a felony or any crime of moral turpitude, material insubordination, moral turpitude, willful misconduct, refusal to perform his or her duties or responsibilities for any reason other than illness or incapacity, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; or (b) in the case where there is an employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between any of the Presidential Companies and the Participant at the time of the grant of the award or an award agreement that defines “cause” (or words of like import), “cause” as defined under such agreement. |
| 3 |
| (iii) | “Good Reason” shall mean only in the case where there is an employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between any of the Presidential Companies and the Participant at the time of the grant of the award or an award agreement that defines “good reason” (or words of like import), “good reason” as defined under such agreement; provided, however, that with regard to any agreement under which the definition of “good reason” only applies on occurrence of a change in control, such definition of “good reason” shall not apply until the consummation of a change in control and then only with regard to a Termination thereafter and based solely on events and/or circumstances arising after the consummation of such change in control. |
| (iv) | “Termination” shall mean the Participant’s termination of employment with either of the Presidential Companies by the Company (or an affiliate) or the Participant for any reason whatsoever, except that a transfer of the Participant from the Company to a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, whether or not incorporated, or vice versa, or from a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to another, and a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company, shall not be deemed a termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any payment under this Agreement that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, a “Termination” shall mean a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code. |
| 5. | Change in Control. |
| a. | Notwithstanding Article 4 above, in the event of a Change in Control, as defined herein, the Committee may, in its absolute and sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to: |
| (i) | vest such portion of the Shares of Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate, such vesting to be subject to such terms and conditions that, in the Committee’s absolute and sole discretion, it deems appropriate; |
| (ii) | cancel and/or cash out any or all Shares of Restricted Stock for fair value (as determined in good faith by the Committee); or |
| (iii) | provide for the issuance of substitute awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of this Agreement as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. |
| b. | “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence on or prior to three years from the Award Date of any one of the following events: |

| (ii) | The date a change in the ownership of either of the Presidential Companies occurs. For purposes of this paragraph, a change in ownership occurs (except as provided in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi)(C)), on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)) acquires ownership of the stock of either of the Presidential Companies that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market value of the stock of Company or Insurance Company as the case may be; or |
| (iii) | The date a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets occurs. For purposes of this paragraph, a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)), acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company or the Insurance Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company or the Insurance Company (as the case may be) immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions. For the purposes of this paragraph, gross fair market value has the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(A). Notwithstanding the above provisions of this paragraph, no change in ownership shall be deemed to have occurred by reason of a transfer of assets to a related entity as described in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(B). |
| 6. | Investment Representation. |

| b. | If the Participant is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless an exemption from any applicable resale restrictions is available or the Company files an additional registration statement (or a “re-offer prospectus”) with regard to such Shares and the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares (or to file a “re-offer prospectus”). |
| 5 |
| c. | If the Participant is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, the Participant understands that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available unless (i) a public trading market then exists for the Shares, (ii) adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and (iii) other terms and conditions of Rule 144 or any exemption therefrom are complied with; and that any sale of the Shares may be made only in limited amounts in accordance with such terms and conditions. |

Unless held in book entry form, such stock certificates shall be held in custody with the escrow agent (as provided for below), or such other person as designated by the Board, together with stock powers or other instruments of transfer required by the Company or its counsel appropriately endorsed in blank by him or her. Such deposit shall remain in effect until either the time the Company reacquires the Shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until such Shares of Restricted Stock vest in accordance with this Agreement. |
| b. | The Participant consents to the appointment of the Secretary of the Company, in his or her official capacity, and his or her successor in office, or any other person that may be appointed by the Committee under the Plan, as the escrow agent for the Shares of Restricted Stock during the Period of Restriction. The Participant agrees that the escrow agent is merely a depository to retain the Shares of Restricted Stock and to dispose of the Shares of Restricted Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. If the escrow agent is notified of any adverse claim or demand by any person, he or she is hereby authorized to hold such certificates until the dispute shall have been settled by the parties and notice submitted to him or her by persons so interested, or until the rights of the parties have been fully adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction. |
| c. | Except as provided in Article 8 below, Participant shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the company with respect thereto, including but limited to the right to vote on all matter to be voted on by holders of shares in the Company except as may be limited by terms of the Plan and this Agreement. |

| c. | The delivery of any certificate representing Shares that have vested or any corresponding accrued dividends of cash or other property may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required for it to comply with any applicable foreign, federal or state securities law, or any national securities exchange listing requirements and the Company is not obligated to issue or deliver any securities if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the issuance of such Shares shall constitute a violation by Participant or the Company of any provisions of any applicable foreign, federal or state law or of any regulations of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange. |
| 10. | Withholding. |
