Award Letter Agreement dated [Date]; Restricted Stock Award [Number];

The Company hereby grants to you an Award of an opportunity to earn [Number of Shares] shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), subject to the restrictions and other conditions set forth herein and in the Omnibus Plan. Such shares are referred to in this Award Agreement as the “Restricted Shares.” Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, gifted, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, subject to paragraphs (2), (3), (4) and (5). Within a reasonable time after the date of this Award, the Company shall instruct its stock transfer agent to establish a book entry account representing the Restricted Shares in your name effective as of the Date of Grant, provided that the Company shall retain control of such account until the Restricted Shares have become vested in accordance with the Award.

As promptly as practical after the date on which a portion or all of the Restricted Shares vest under this Award Agreement, and after receipt of any required tax withholding under paragraph 8, the Company shall instruct the stock transfer agent to transfer the number of vested Restricted Shares (less any shares withheld in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations under paragraph 8, if any) to an unrestricted account over which only you (or, in the case of your death, your designated beneficiary or authorized representative) have control.

“Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any event, other than in connection with termination of your employment by the Company, which results in (A) a material diminution of your principal duties or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, including, without limitation, a significant change in the nature or scope of your principal duties or responsibilities, such that your duties or responsibilities are inconsistent with those immediately prior to the Change in Control, and commonly (in the banking industry) considered to be of lesser responsibility, or (B) a material diminution of your compensation from that immediately prior to the Change in Control, or (C) you being required to be based at an office or location which is more than 35 miles from your office or location immediately prior to the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order for your resignation for Good Reason to occur, (x) you must provide written notice of the Good Reason event to the Company or its subsidiary within 90 days after the initial existence of such event; (y) the Company or its subsidiary must not have cured such condition within 30 days of receipt of your written notice or the Company or its subsidiary must have stated unequivocally in writing that it does not intend to attempt to cure such condition; and (z) you must resign from employment at the end of the period within which the Company or a subsidiary was entitled to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason but failed to do so.

The award has a value at least equal to the value of the Original Award;

The award relates to publicly-traded equity securities of the Company or its successor following the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control; and

The other terms and conditions of the award are not less favorable to you than the terms and conditions of the Original Award, including the provisions of paragraph (3) relating to vesting in the event of a Qualifying Termination (except that in the event of a subsequent Change in Control of the Company or its successor, the Substitute Award shall be fully vested and freely transferable upon such subsequent Change in Control).

The Award is intended to conform in all respects with the Omnibus Plan. Inconsistencies between the Omnibus Plan and this Award Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Award Agreement. By executing and returning the enclosed Confirmation of Acceptance of this Award Agreement, you agree to be bound by all the terms hereof and of the Omnibus Plan. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Award Agreement shall have the same definitions stated in the Omnibus Plan.

Any action taken or decision made by the Compensation Committee arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation or effect of this Award Agreement or the Omnibus Plan shall lie within the Compensation Committee’s sole and absolute discretion, and shall be final, conclusive and binding on you and all persons claiming under or through you. This Award Agreement shall be binding upon your heirs, executors, administrators and successors.

Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement, this Award Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to any choice of law rules thereof (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of any laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
