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 (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, grant Shares of Restricted Stock 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 Restricted Stock 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 Restricted Stock. 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 Restricted Stock identified above opposite the heading "Number of Restricted Shares Granted" (the "Restricted Shares").
3.     Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the granting of this Award by the Company, Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services as a service provider to the Company. Nothing in this Award Agreement or in the Plan will confer upon Participant any right to continue as an employee of the Company or will interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate Participant's employment with the Company at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.    
4.    Restrictions on Transfer/Vesting Date. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Award Agreement or in the Plan, the Restricted Shares or the rights relating thereto may not be sold, transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily, prior to the vesting date for such Restricted Shares (the "Vesting Date"), as identified below. On the Vesting Date, such restriction on transfer shall lapse and the Restricted Shares, if not previously

forfeited pursuant to Section 5 below, will become freely transferable under this Award Agreement and the Plan, subject only to such further limitations on transfer, if any, as may exist under applicable law or any other agreement binding upon Participant. Subject to any exceptions listed in this Award Agreement or in the Plan, the Restricted Shares shall become vested in accordance with the schedule set forth below:

5.    Forfeiture Prior to Vesting. Unless otherwise provided herein, if Participant's position as a Service Provider with the Company or any of its Affiliates is terminated prior to the Vesting Date for one or more of the Restricted Shares, Participant will thereupon immediately forfeit any and all unvested Restricted Shares, and the full ownership of such Restricted Shares and rights will revert to the Company. Upon such forfeiture, Participant shall have no further rights under this Award Agreement. For purposes of this Award Agreement, transfer of employment between the Company and any of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) does not constitute a termination of Participant's position as a Service Provider. If Participant's position as a Service Provider with the Company or any of its Affiliates is terminated by the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to the Vesting Date and due to Participant's death or Disability, all restrictions on the Restricted Shares will lapse and cease to be effective, as of the date of Participant's termination as a Service Provider.

To the extent the Company's Shares are issued in certificated form, one or more certificates representing the Restricted Shares shall bear a legend similar to the following:

7.    Dividends and Voting. Participant is entitled to (i) receive all dividends, payable in stock, in cash or in kind, or other distributions, declared on or with respect to any Restricted Shares as of a record date that occurs on or after the Date of Grant hereunder and before any transfer or forfeiture of the Restricted Shares by Participant, provided that any such dividends paid in cash are to be held in escrow by the Company and, such cash dividends and distributions are to be subject to the same rights, restrictions on transfer and conditions regarding vesting and forfeiture as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such dividends or distributions are paid at the time of payment, and (ii) exercise all voting rights with respect to the Restricted Shares, if the record date for the exercise of such voting rights occurs on or after the Date of Grant hereunder and prior to any transfer or forfeiture of such Restricted Shares. In the event of forfeiture by Participant of any or all of the Restricted Shares or any of the equity securities distributed to Participant with respect thereto, Participant forfeit all cash dividends held in escrow and relating to the underlying forfeited Restricted Shares and must returned to the Company any distributions previously paid to Participant with respect to such Restricted Shares.
