[NAME]


Date

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Grant of Option. The Grant Date, Exercise Price and number of Shares subject to your Option are stated on page 1 of this Award Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the 2011 Plan.

Vesting of Options. The Option shall vest (become exercisable) in accordance with the vesting schedule shown on page 1 of this Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the vesting schedule on page 1, the Option will also vest and become exercisable:

(a)

Upon your death or Disability; or

(b) Upon a Change in Control (as set forth in the 2011 Plan).

Term of Options and Limitations on Right to Exercise. The term of the Option will be for a period of ten (10) years, expiring at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”). To the extent not previously exercised, the vested portion of your Option will lapse prior to the Expiration Date upon the earliest to occur of the following circumstances:

(a)

Three (3) months after your Separation from Service for any reason other than your death or Disability.

(b)

Twelve (12) months after your Separation from Service by reason of Disability.

(c)

Twelve (12) months after the date of your death, if you die while employed, or during the three-month period described in subsection (a) above or during the twelve-month period described in subsection (b) above and before the Option would otherwise lapse. Upon your death, your beneficiary (designated pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Plan) may exercise your Option.

(d)

At the end of the remaining original term of the Option if your employment is involuntarily or constructively terminated within twelve (12) months of a Change in Control.

The Committee may, prior to the lapse of your Option under the circumstances described in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, extend the time to exercise your Option as determined by the Committee in writing and subject to federal regulations. If you return to employment with the Bank during the designated post-termination exercise period, then you will be restored to the status as a Participant you held prior to such termination, but no vesting credit will be earned for any period you were not in an employment or service relationship with the Bank. If you or your beneficiary exercises an Option after your Separation from Service, the Option may be exercised only with respect to the Shares that were otherwise vested on the date of your Separation from Service.

Exercise of Option. You may exercise your Option by providing:

(a)

a written notice of intent to exercise to the address and in the form specified by the Committee from time to time; and

(b)

payment to the Bank in full for the Shares subject to the exercise (unless the exercise is a cashless exercise). Payment for the Shares can be made in cash, Bank common stock (“stock swap”), a combination of cash and Bank common stock or by means of a cashless exercise (if permitted by the Committee).

Beneficiary Designation. You may, in a manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise your rights under the 2011 Plan and to receive any distribution with respect to this Option upon your death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the 2011 Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the 2011 Plan, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If you have not designated a beneficiary or none survives you, the Option may be exercised by the legal representative of your estate, and payment shall be made to your estate. You may change or revoke a beneficiary designation at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Bank.

Withholding. The Bank or any employer Affiliate has the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to the Bank, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local (if any) withholding taxes and employment taxes (i.e., FICA and FUTA).

Limitation of Rights. This Option does not confer on you or your beneficiary designated pursuant to Paragraph 5 any rights as a shareholder of the Bank unless and until the Shares are in fact issued in connection with the exercise of the Option. Nothing in this Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Bank or any Affiliate to terminate your employment at any time, nor confer upon you any right to continue in the service of the Bank or any Affiliate.

Restrictions on Transfer and Pledge. You may not pledge, encumber, or hypothecate your right or interest in this Option to or in favor of any party other than the Bank or an Affiliate, and this Option shall not be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of the Participant to any other party other than the Bank or an Affiliate. You may not assign or transfer this Option other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order that would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Option under the 2011 Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other requested transfers. Only you or any permitted transferee may exercise this Option during your lifetime.

Plan Controls. The terms contained in the 2011 Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Award Agreement and this Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the 2011 Plan. In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the 2011 Plan and the provisions of this Award Agreement, the provisions of the 2011 Plan will control.

10.

Successors. This Award Agreement shall be binding upon any successor of the Bank, in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement and the 2011 Plan.

11.

Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Award Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Award Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included in this Award Agreement.

12.

Stock Reserve. The Bank shall at all times during the term of this Agreement reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Shares to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement.

14.

Forfeiture. The altering, inflating, and/or inappropriate manipulation of performance/financial results or any other infraction of recognized ethical business standards, will subject you to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
