RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

5.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means and includes the Bank’s and Employer’s, and their affiliated entities’, confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, all information not generally known to the public, in spoken, printed, electronic or any other form or medium, including, but not limited to the following: information regarding past and current customers and investors and business affiliates and contractors; information regarding the industry not generally known to the public; strategies, methods, books, records, and documents; technical information concerning products, equipment, services, and processes; procurement procedures, pricing, and pricing techniques; including contact names, services provided, pricing, type and amount of services used, financial data; pricing strategies and price curves; positions; plans or strategies for expansion or acquisitions; budgets; research; financial and sales data; trading methodologies and terms; communications information; evaluations, opinions and interpretations of information and data; marketing and merchandising techniques; electronic databases; models; specifications; computer programs; contracts; bids or proposals; technologies and methods; training methods and processes; organizational structure; payments or rates paid to consultants or other service providers. Confidential Information includes any such information that Employee may originate, learn, have access to or obtain, whether in tangible form or memorized. Additionally, Employee recognizes that the Confidential Information is dynamic and ever-changing. Confidential Information does not include information that is generally available to and known by the public, provided that such disclosure to the public is through no direct or indirect fault of the Employee or person(s) acting on the Employee’s behalf. Employee acknowledges that the Bank’s and Employer’s respective businesses are highly competitive, that this Confidential Information constitutes a valuable, special and unique asset used by each of the Bank and Employer in its business, and that protection of such Confidential Information against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to the Bank and Employer.

5.2 Promises of Employer and the Bank. The Bank promises and agrees that reasonably soon after the execution of this Agreement by Employee, the Bank shall provide Employee with Confidential Information in an expanded nature than that already provided to Employee by the Bank. In addition, Employer promises and agrees that, reasonably soon after the execution of this Agreement by Employee and during the Term and as part of the employment under this Agreement, Employer shall provide Employee with Confidential Information, which will enable Employee to perform his job for Employer. In addition, after the Effective Time, Employee will have immediate access to, or knowledge of, Confidential Information of third parties, such as actual and potential customers, suppliers, partners, joint ventures, investors, and financing sources of Employer. Employee acknowledges that: (a) the Bank and Employer have devoted substantial time, effort, and resources to develop and compile

the Confidential Information; (b) public disclosure of such Confidential Information would have an adverse effect on the businesses of the Bank and Employer; (c) the Bank and Employer would not disclose such information to the Employee, nor would the Bank or Employer employ or continue to employ the Employee without the agreements and covenants set forth in this Article V; and (d) the provisions of this Article V are reasonable and necessary to prevent the improper use or disclosure of Confidential Information.

5.3 Employee’s Promises.

(a) Non-Disclosure Obligations. Employee agrees that Employee will not, at any time during the period of his employment with the Bank or Employer, and after the Employee’s termination date, make any unauthorized disclosure, directly or indirectly, of any Confidential Information of the Bank or Employer, or confidential information belonging to third parties that was obtained by Employee during his employment with the Bank or Employer (excepting any third party confidential information provided to Employee independently of Employee’s employment with the Bank or Employer), or make any use thereof, directly or indirectly, except in performance of Employee’s duties for the Bank or Employer. Employee also agrees that Employee shall promptly deliver to the Bank or Employer, as directed, upon the termination of employment or at any other time at the Bank or Employer’s request, without retaining any copies, all documents and other material in Employee’s possession relating to any Confidential Information or other information of the Bank or Employer, or Confidential Information regarding third parties learned as an employee of the Bank or Employer.

(b) Restrictive Covenants. Ancillary to the consideration to be provided pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to the Bank’s and Employer’s agreement to provide Confidential Information to Employee and Employee’s agreement not to disclose Confidential Information, and in order to protect the Confidential Information, Employee agrees to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions set forth in this Section 5.3(b)(1)-(2) (the “Restrictive Covenants”). Employee agrees that, for the Restricted Period, as defined below, Employee will not, except as an employee of the Bank or Employer, in any capacity for Employee or others, directly or indirectly:

(1) Non-Competition Obligations

(A) anywhere in the geographic area comprised of the Counties of: Collin, Dallas, Denton, Jack, Parker, Tarrant, Wise (collectively, the “Market Area”), (a) compete in, engage in, or contribute knowledge to, a business similar to or otherwise competitive with that of the Bank or Employer, or (b) compete in, engage in, or contribute knowledge to that type of business which the Bank or Employer (i) has plans to engage in, or (ii) has engaged in during the preceding twelve (12) month period if, in either the case of (i) or (ii), within the twenty-four (24) months before the termination of Employee’s employment from Employer, Employee had access to information regarding the proposed plans or the business in which the Bank or Employer engaged;

(B) take any action to invest in, own, manage, operate, control, participate in, be employed or engaged by or be connected in any manner with any partnership, corporation or other business or entity engaging in a business similar to or

otherwise competitive with that of the Bank or Employer anywhere within the Market Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee is permitted hereunder to own, directly or indirectly, up to one percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding securities of any publicly traded financial institution conducting business in the Market Area;

(2) Non-Solicitation Obligations

(A) call on, solicit, service, or attempt to do any of the foregoing with respect to, customers or prospective customers of the Bank or Employer if, within the twelve (12) months before the termination of Employee’s employment with the Bank or Employer, Employee had material contact with the customer or prospective customer, or had obtained material information about the customer or prospective customer; or

(B) hire, retain, call on, solicit for hire or induce to leave employment, any individual who is or was an employee of the Bank or the Employer on the date of, or within the three (3) month period before the date of, such hire, retention, solicitation or inducement, provided that such individual is an individual whom Employee had contact with, knowledge of, or association with in the course of Employee’s employment with the Bank or Employer, and Employee will not assist any other person or entity in such activities.

5.4 Restricted Period. The non-competition obligations set forth in Section 5.3(b)(1) shall apply from the Effective Time through the end of the Term, regardless of whether Employee’s employment terminates prior to the end of the Term, and the non-solicitation obligations set forth in Section 5.3(b)(2) shall apply from the Effective Time through the later of (a) the end of the Term, regardless of whether Employee’s employment terminates prior to the end of the Term or (b) one (1) year following the date of Employee’s termination of employment with the Bank, Employer or their affiliated entities (any transfer of employment between the Bank, the Employer, and any affiliated entities does not constitute termination of employment) (the restricted time period in the case of non-competition or non-solicitation, as applicable, is the “Restricted Period”). However, if the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason before the Effective Time occurs, the Restrictive Covenants will not apply, all of the provisions of this Agreement will terminate, and there will be no liability of any kind under this Agreement.

5.5 Restrictive Covenants Reasonable. The parties to this Agreement hereby agree that the Restrictive Covenants set forth in this Article V are ancillary to this Agreement, which is an otherwise enforceable agreement. Employee agrees that his promises in this Article V are reasonable and reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interest of the Bank, the Employer, and their affiliated entities.

5.6 Consideration.

(a) In consideration for the above obligations of the Employee, on the fifth (5th) business day after the Effective Time, Employer shall deliver to Employee a restricted stock award agreement issued pursuant to the Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan granting to Employee 20,000 shares of Bancshares restricted common stock (“Restricted Stock”). The forfeiture restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock shall lapse on the third

(3rd) anniversary of the grant date, provided that Employee is employed by Employer on such date.

(b) The Bank promises and agrees that reasonably soon after the execution of this Agreement by Employee, it shall provide Employee with Confidential Information in an expanded nature than that already provided to Employee.

(c) In addition, after the Effective Time, Employer agrees to provide Employee with access to Confidential Information relating to Employer’s business and to specialized training regarding Employer’s methodologies and business strategies, which will enable Employee to perform his job for Employer. After the Effective Time, Employee also will have immediate access to, or knowledge of, new Confidential Information of third parties, such as actual and potential customers, suppliers, partners, joint venturers, investors, financing sources, etc. of Employer.

5.7 Enforcement and Legal Remedies. The Bank, Employer and Employee acknowledge and agree that breach of any of the covenants made by Employee in this Agreement would cause irreparable injury to the Bank or Employer, which could not sufficiently be remedied by monetary damages; and, therefore, that the Bank or Employer shall be entitled to obtain such equitable relief as declaratory judgments; temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctions, without posting of any bond, and order of specific performance to enforce those covenants or to prohibit any act or omission that constitutes a breach thereof.

5.8 Tolling. In the event that Employer shall file a lawsuit in any Court of competent jurisdiction alleging a breach of the Non-Competition Obligations by the Employee, then any time period set forth in this Agreement including the time periods set forth above, will be extended one month for each month the Employee was in breach of this Agreement, so that Employer is provided the benefit of the full Restricted Period.

ARTICLE VI

TERMINATION RIGHTS

6.1 Termination for Cause by the Employer. The Employer may terminate this Agreement and Employee’s employment for Cause (as defined hereinafter), such termination to be effective immediately upon written notice to Employee. Any termination of Employee’s employment under this Section 6.1 will not be in limitation of any other right or remedy which the Employer may have under this Agreement, at law, or in equity. The term “Cause” means (a) Employee’s fraud, embezzlement, theft or misappropriation of funds or other property of the Employer or its affiliated entities, (b) self-dealing or gross negligence in the performance by Employee of his duties pursuant to this Agreement, (c) the repeated failure or refusal by Employee to perform his lawful duties to the Employer as provided herein, other than due to Disability, (d) the commission by Employee of any willful acts of bad faith or gross misconduct against the Employer or its affiliated entities, (e) the indictment of Employee for a felony or other criminal act involving dishonesty or other moral turpitude, whether or not relating to his employment with the Employer, (f) the material violation by Employee of a lawful, established policy or procedure of the Employer and (g) the Employee’s material breach of any provision of

this Agreement; provided that with respect to clauses (c) and (f) and (g), Employer shall give Employee written notice of the breach or other failure on the part of Employee and the actions necessary to correct such breach, if applicable. If Employee fails to cure the breach or failure within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice or if the breach or failure is incurable, Employer may proceed to terminate Employee’s employment for Cause without further notice.

6.2 Termination by Employer Upon Employee’s Disability. The Employer may terminate this Agreement and Employee’s employment upon a determination of Disability (as defined below), such termination to be effective immediately upon written notice to Employee. The term “Disability” means Employee’s inability to perform his usual services to the Employer because of mental or physical illness or injury for the consecutive days as defined in the Employer’s disability policy then in effect, which inability to perform will be determined by a physician reasonably selected by the Employer.

6.3 Termination Upon Employee’s Death. In the event of Employee’s death, this Agreement and Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall immediately terminate.

6.4 Termination by Employer Other Than for Cause, Disability or Death. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Employer may terminate this Agreement and Employee’s employment under this Agreement for any or no reason during the Term (i.e., other than for Cause or Disability), such termination to be effective immediately upon the giving of written notice to Employee from the Employer.

6.5 Termination by Employee. Employee shall have the right, at his election and for any reason prior to the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, to voluntarily terminate this Agreement and his employment with Employer without Good Reason upon thirty (30) days’ written notice. Such notice requirement may be waived by Employer at its sole discretion. Employee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and his employment with Employer for Good Reason, as set forth in Section 6.7(b) below.

6.6 Termination by Expiration. This Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the Term. Although the Agreement shall expire, Employee’s employment with Employer shall not automatically terminate upon expiration of the Term.

6.7 Certain Payments Following Termination of Employment.

(a) If, during the Term of this Agreement, Employee’s employment with the Employer is terminated by the Employer for Cause or Disability, or if Employee voluntarily terminates employment with the Employer without Good Reason, Employee shall thereafter be entitled to receive from the Employer payment of any accrued but unpaid Base Salary, less applicable taxes, withholding, and deductions, through the date of employment termination and expense reimbursements through the date of such termination for which Employee is entitled to reimbursement in accordance with Section 4.1 (collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”), and Employee’s Restrictive Covenants set forth in Article V shall continue during the Restricted Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Accrued Benefits do not include the yet to be accrued Base Salary that Employee would have earned had his employment not terminated prior to the expiration of the Term.

(b) If, during the Term of this Agreement, Employee’s employment with the Employer is terminated during the Term by the Employer for any reason other than for Cause or Disability, or if Employee terminates his employment with Employer for Good Reason, Employee shall be entitled to receive from the Employer (1) the Accrued Benefits (payable within thirty (30) days after the date of termination), and (2) provided Employee has executed a release in a form reasonably acceptable to the Employer and such release has become effective prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination, Employee shall be entitled to (A) a lump sum payment equal to payment of Base Salary for the remaining portion of the Term of this Agreement, less applicable statutory deductions, payable on the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination, and (B) the forfeiture restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock set forth in Section 5.6 hereof shall lapse on a pro rata basis at a rate of 33% for each full year of employment completed during the Term. Further, Employee’s obligations set forth in Article V shall continue during the Restricted Period. The term “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events without Employee’s consent: (i) a reduction in the Employee’s Base Salary that does not apply to similarly-situated employees of the Employer; (ii) relocation of the geographic location of Employee’s principal place of employment by more than fifty-five (55) miles from his principal place of employment; (iii) a material and sustained reduction in Employee’s material duties or material responsibilities; (iv) a material and adverse change in Employee’s titles with the Employer; (v) a material breach by the Employer of this Agreement; provided that, in each case: (1) Employee shall provide the Employer, within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the circumstances alleged to constitute Good Reason, with written notice specifying the circumstances alleged to constitute Good Reason and the Employer shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to cure such circumstances; and (2) if the Employer has not cured such circumstances within such thirty (30) day period, Employee shall terminate his employment not later than sixty (60) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period.

(c) If Employee’s employment with the Employer is terminated upon Employee’s death, Employee’s legal representatives shall thereafter be entitled to receive from the Employer payment of the Accrued Benefits within thirty (30) days after the date of death, and Employee’s Non-Competition Obligations set forth in Article V shall automatically cease.

(d) If this Agreement terminates by expiration, as set forth in Section 6.6, Employee shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Benefits, and Employee’s Restrictive Covenants set forth in Article V shall continue during the Restricted Period.

6.8 Code Section 409A.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of Employee’s termination of employment with Employer, Employee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent that any amount to which Employee is entitled in connection with the termination of his employment is subject to Section 409A of the Code, payments of such amounts to which Employee would otherwise be entitled during the six (6) month period following Employee’s termination of employment will be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month after the date of Employee’s termination of employment. The first sentence of this paragraph shall apply only to

the extent required to avoid Employee’s incurrence of any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment under the terms of this Agreement would constitute an impermissible acceleration of payments under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, such payments shall be made no earlier than at such times allowed under Section 409A of the Code.

(c) If any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation) would cause Employee to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, Employer may reform such provision; provided, that Employer shall (1) maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and (2) notify and consult with Employee regarding such amendments or modifications prior to the effective date of any such change.

6.9 Return of Property. Upon Employee’s termination of employment for any reason, or at any time upon Employer’s request, Employee (or Employee’s executor or personal representative in the event of Employee’s death or Disability) shall immediately return to the Employer all property of the Employer, including, but not limited to, all keys, credit cards and all other property of the Employer in Employee’s possession.

6.10 Resignation of All Other Positions. Upon termination of the Employee’s employment for any reason, the Employee shall be deemed to have resigned from all positions that the Employee holds as an officer or member of the Board (or a committee thereof) of Employer, the Bank, or any of their affiliates.

6.11 Code Section 280G. If any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by Employee (including, without limitation, any payment or benefits received in connection with a change in control or Employee’s termination of employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement, or otherwise) (all such payments collectively referred to herein as the “280G Payments”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would, but for this Section 6.11, be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such 280G Payments shall be reduced in a manner determined by the Employer that is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A until no amount payable to Employee will be subject to the Excise Tax.
