(which need not be identical among Participants) thereof. In particular, the Committee shall prescribe the following terms and conditions: (i) the Exercise Price of any Option or Right, which shall not be less than the Market Value per Share at the date of grant of such Option or Right, (ii) the number of Shares subject to, and the expiration date of, any Option or Right, which expiration date shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant, (iii) the manner, time and rate (cumulative or otherwise) of exercise of such Option or Right, and (iv) the restrictions, if any, to be placed upon such Option or Right or upon Shares which may be issued upon exercise of such Option or Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to compliance with applicable Office of Thrift Supervision Regulations, no individual shall be granted Awards with respect to more than 25% of the total shares subject to the Plan, and no director who is not an employee of the Corporation shall be granted Awards with respect to more than 5% of the total Shares subject to the Plan. All non-employee directors of the Corporation, in the aggregate, may not be granted Awards with respect to more than 30% of the total Shares subject to the Plan. No Awards shall begin vesting earlier than one year from the date the Plan is approved by stockholders of the Corporation and shall not vest at a rate in excess of 20% per year, beginning from the date of grant.
 
In the event Office of Thrift Supervision Regulations are amended (the “Amended Regulations”) to permit shorter vesting periods, any Award made pursuant to this Plan, which Award is subject to the requirements of such Amended Regulations, may vest, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in accordance with such Amended Regulations.
 
Furthermore, at the time of any Award, the Participant shall enter into an agreement with the Corporation in a form specified by the Committee, agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Award and such other matters as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine (the “Option Agreement”).
 
7. Exercise of Options or Rights.
 
(a) Except as provided herein, an Option or Right granted under the Plan shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant to whom such Option or Right was granted only by such Participant and, except as provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 7, no such Option or Right may be exercised unless at the time such Participant exercises such Option or Right, such Participant has maintained Continuous Service since the date of grant of such Option or Right.
 
(b) To exercise an Option or Right under the Plan, the Participant to whom such Option or Right was granted shall give written notice to the Corporation in form satisfactory to the Committee (and, if partial exercises have been permitted by the Committee, by specifying the number of Shares with respect to which such Participant elects to exercise such Option or Right) together with full payment of the Exercise Price, if any and to the extent required. The date of exercise shall be the date on which such notice is received by the Corporation. Payment, if any is required, shall be made either (i) in cash (including check, bank draft or money order) or (ii) by delivering (A) Shares already owned by the Participant and having a fair market value equal to the applicable exercise price, such fair market value to be determined in such appropriate manner as may be provided by the Committee or as may be
 

4


required in order to comply with or to conform to requirements of any applicable laws or regulations, or (B) a combination of cash and such Shares.

(c) Except as provided in Section 13 hereof, if a Participant to whom an Option or Right was granted shall cease to maintain Continuous Service for any reason (excluding death or disability and termination of employment by the Corporation or any Affiliate for cause), such Participant may, but only within the period of three months immediately suc-ceeding such cessation of Continuous Service and in no event after the expiration date of such Option or Right, exercise such Option or Right to the extent that such Participant was entitled to exercise such Option or Right at the date of such cessation, provided, however, that such right of exercise after cessation of Continuous Service shall not be available to a Participant if the Committee otherwise determines and so provides in the applicable instrument or instruments evidencing the grant of such Option or Right. If a Participant to whom an Option or Right was granted shall cease to maintain Continuous Service by reason of death or disability then, unless the Committee shall have otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing the grant of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, all Options and Rights granted and not fully exercisable shall become exercisable in full upon the happening of such event and shall remain so exercisable (i) in the event of death for the period described in paragraph (d) of this Section 7 and (ii) in the event of disability for a period of three months following such date. If the Continuous Service of a Participant to whom an Option or Right was granted by the Corporation is terminated for cause, all rights under any Option or Right of such Participant shall expire immediately upon the giving to the Participant of notice of such termination.
 
(d) In the event of the death of a Participant while in the Continuous Service of the Corporation or an Affiliate or within the three-month period referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section 7, the person to whom any Option or Right held by the Participant at the time of his death is transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or in the case of an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in the Code or Title 1 of ERISA or the rules thereunder may, but only to the extent such Participant was entitled to exercise such Option or Right immediately prior to his death, exercise such Option or Right at any time within a period of one year succeeding the date of death of such Participant, but in no event later than ten years from the date of grant of such Option or Right. Following the death of any Participant to whom an Option was granted under the Plan, irrespective of whether any Related Right shall have theretofore been granted to the Participant or whether the person entitled to exercise such Related Right desires to do so, the Committee may, as an alternative means of settlement of such Option, elect to pay to the person to whom such Option is transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or in the case of an Option other than an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in the Code or Title I of ERISA or the rules thereunder, the amount by which the Market Value per Share on the date of exercise of such Option shall exceed the Exercise Price of such Option, multiplied by the number of Shares with respect to which such Option is properly exercised. Any such settlement of an Option shall be considered an exercise of such Option for all purposes of the Plan.
 
 
 
8. Incentive Stock Options.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Participants who are Employees. Any provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted more than ten years from the date the Plan is adopted
 

5


by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted, (ii) the Exercise Price of any Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than the Market Value per Share on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted, (iii) any Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable by the Participant to whom such Incentive Stock Option is granted other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during such Participant’s lifetime only by such Participant, (iv) no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any individual who, at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation or any Affiliate unless the Exercise Price of such Incentive Stock Option is at least 110 percent of the Market Value per Share at the date of grant and such Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted, and (v) the aggregate Market Value (determined as of the time any Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
 
9. Stock Appreciation Rights.  A Stock Appreciation Right shall, upon its exercise, entitle the Participant to whom such Stock Appreciation Right was granted to receive a number of Shares or cash or combination thereof, as the Committee in its discretion shall determine, the aggregate value of which (i.e., the sum of the amount of cash and/or Market Value of such Shares on date of exercise) shall equal (as nearly as possible, it being understood that the Corporation shall not issue any fractional shares) the amount by which the Market Value per Share on the date of such exercise shall exceed the Exercise Price of such Stock Appreciation Right, multiplied by the number of Shares with respect of which such Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. A Stock Appreciation Right may be Related to an Option or may be granted independently of any Option as the Committee shall from time to time in each case determine. At the time of grant of an Option the Committee shall determine whether and to what extent a Related Stock Appreciation Right shall be granted with respect thereto, provided, however, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, that if the Related Option is an Incentive Stock Option, the Related Stock Appreciation Right shall satisfy all the restrictions and limitations of Section 8 hereof as if such Related Stock Appreciation Right were an Incentive Stock Option and as if other rights which are Related to Incentive Stock Options were Incentive Stock Options. In the case of a Related Option, such Related Option shall cease to be exer-cisable to the extent of the Shares with respect to which the Related Stock Appreciation Right was exercised. Upon the exercise or termination of a Related Option, any Related Stock Appre-ciation Right shall terminate to the extent of the Shares with respect to which the Related Option was exercised or terminated.
 
10. Limited Stock Appreciation Rights.  At the time of grant of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right to any Participant, the Committee shall have full and complete authority and discretion to also grant to such Participant a Limited Stock Appreciation Right which is Related to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, provided, however and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, that if the Related Option is an Incentive Stock Option, the Related Limited Stock Appreciation Right shall satisfy all the restrictions and limitations of Section 8 hereof as if such Related Limited Stock Appreciation Right were an Incentive Stock Option and as if all other Rights which are Related to Incentive Stock Options were Incentive Stock Options. Subject to vesting requirements contained in 12 C.F.R. § 563b.3(g)(4) or any successor
 

6


regulation, a Limited Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only during the period be-ginning on the first day following the date of expiration of any “offer” (as such term is hereinafter defined) and ending on the forty-fifth day following such date.

A Limited Stock Appreciation Right shall, upon its exercise, entitle the Participant to whom such Limited Stock Appreciation Right was granted to receive an amount of cash equal to the amount by which the “Offer Price per Share” (as such term is hereinafter defined) or the Market Value on the date of such exercise, as shall have been provided by the Committee in its discretion at the time of grant, shall exceed the Exercise Price of such Limited Stock Appreciation Right, multiplied by the number of Shares with respect to which such Limited Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. Upon the exercise of a Limited Stock Appreciation Right, any Related Option and/or Related Stock Appreciation Right shall cease to be exercisable to the extent of the Shares with respect to which such Limited Stock Appreciation Right was exercised. Upon the exercise or termination of a Related Option or Related Stock Appreciation Right, any Related Limited Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate to the extent of the Shares with respect to which such Related Option or Related Stock Appreciation Right was exercised or terminated.
 
For the purposes of this Section 10, the term “Offer” shall mean any tender offer or exchange offer for Shares other than one made by the Corporation, provided that the corporation, person or other entity making the offer acquires pursuant to such offer either (i) 25% of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the commencement of such offer or (ii) a number of Shares which, together with all other Shares acquired in any tender offer or exchange offer (other than one made by the Corporation) which expired within sixty days of the expiration date of the offer in question, equals 25% of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the commencement of the offer in question. The term “Offer Price per Share” as used in this Section 10 shall mean the highest price per Share paid in any Offer which Offer is in effect any time during the period beginning on the sixtieth day prior to the date on which a Limited Stock Appreciation Right is exercised and ending on the date on which such Limited Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. Any securities or property which are part or all of the consideration paid for Shares in the Offer shall be valued in determining the Offer Price per Share at the higher of (A) the valuation placed on such securities or property by the corporation, person or other entity making such Offer or (B) the valuation placed on such securities or property by the Committee.
 
 
11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares subsequent to the effective date of the Plan by reason of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or any change in the corporate structure or Shares of the Corporation, the maximum aggregate number and class of shares as to which Awards may be granted under the Plan and the number, class and exercise price of shares with respect to which Awards theretofore have been granted under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive.
 
12. Effect of Merger.  In the event of any merger, consolidation or combination of the Corporation (other than a merger, consolidation or combination in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and which does not result in the outstanding Shares being converted into or
 

7


exchanged for different securities, cash or other property, or any combination thereof) pursuant to a plan or agreement the terms of which are binding upon all stockholders of the Corporation (except to the extent that dissenting stockholders may be entitled, under statutory provisions or provisions contained in the articles of incorporation, to receive the appraised or fair value of their holdings), any Participant to whom an Option or Right has been granted shall have the right (subject to the provisions of the Plan and any limitation or vesting period applicable to such Option or Right), thereafter and during the term of each such Option or Right, to receive upon exercise of any such Option or Right an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value on the date of such exercise of the securities, cash or other property, or combination thereof, receivable upon such merger, consolidation or combination in respect of a Share over the Exercise Price of such Right or Option, multiplied by the number of Shares with respect to which such Option or Right shall have been exercised. Such amount may be payable fully in cash, fully in one or more of the kind or kinds of property payable in such merger, consolidation or combination, or partly in cash and partly in one or more of such kind or kinds of property, all in the discretion of the Committee.
 
13. Effect of Change in Control.  Each of the events specified in the following clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 13 shall be deemed a “change of control:” (i) any third person, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, shall become the beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation with respect to which 25% or more of the total number of votes which may be cast for the election of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, (ii) as a result of, or in connection with, any cash tender offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or contested election, or combination of the foregoing, the persons who were directors of the Corporation shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or (iii) the stockholders of the Corporation shall approve an agreement providing either for a transaction in which the Corporation will cease to be an independent publicly owned entity or for a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation. In the event a change in control shall occur, unless the Committee shall have otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing the grant of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights theretofore granted and not fully exercisable shall become exercisable in full upon the happening of such event and shall remain so exercisable for a period of sixty days following such date, after which they shall revert to being exercisable in accordance with their terms, provided, however, that no Option or Stock Appreciation Right which has previously been exercised or otherwise terminated shall become exercisable.
 
14. Assignments and Transfers.  No Award nor any right or interest of a Participant under the Plan in any instrument evidencing any Award under the Plan may be assigned, encumbered or transferred except, in the event of the death of a Participant, by will or the laws of descent and distribution or in the case of Awards other than Incentive Stock Options pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in the Code or Title I of ERISA or the rules thereunder.
 
15. Employee Rights Under the Plan.  No director, officer or employee shall have a right to be selected as a Participant nor, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant and no director, officer, employee or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or under any other incentive or similar plan of the Corporation
 

8


or any Affiliate. Neither the Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Corporation or any Affiliate.
 
16. Delivery and Registration of Stock.  The Corporation’s obligation to deliver Shares with respect to an Award shall, if the Committee so requests, be conditioned upon the receipt of a representation as to the investment intention of the Participant to whom such Shares are to be delivered, in such form as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 or any other Federal, state or local securities legislation or regulation. It may be provided that any representation requirement shall become inoperative upon a registration of the Shares or other action eliminating the necessity of such representation under such Securities Act or other securities legislation. The Corporation shall not be required to deliver any Shares under the Plan prior to (i) the admission of such shares to listing on any stock exchange on which Shares may then be listed, and (ii) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or Federal law, rule or regulation, as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable.
 
17. Withholding-Tax.  The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid in cash with respect to the exercise of a Right under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such cash payments. Where a Participant or other person is entitled to receive Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Right pursuant to the Plan, the Corporation shall have the right to require the Participant or such other person to pay the Corporation the amount of any taxes which the Corporation is required to withhold with respect to such Shares, and may, in its sole discretion, withhold sufficient Shares to cover the amount of taxes which the Corporation is required to withhold.
 
18. Amendment or Termination.  The Board of Directors of the Corporation may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, subject to Office of Thrift Supervision Regulations, but (except as provided in Section 11 hereof) no amendment shall be made without approval of the stockholders of the Corporation which shall, (i) increase the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan (except pursuant to Section 11), (ii) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants, (iii) materially change the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan or (iv) change the class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan, provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension or termination shall impair the rights of any Participant, without his consent, in any Award theretofore made pursuant to the Plan.
 
19. Effective Date and Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon its ratification by stockholders of the Corporation. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten years unless sooner terminated under Section 18 hereof.
 
20. Initial Grant.  By, and simultaneously with, the ratification of this Plan by the stockholders of the Corporation, each member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and each director emeritus of the Bank at the time of stockholder ratification of this Plan who is not an Employee, is hereby granted a ten-year, Non-Qualified Stock Option to purchase 3,860 shares at an Exercise Price per share equal to the Market Value per share of the Shares on the date of grant. Each such Option shall be evidenced by a Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement in a form approved by the Board of Directors and shall be subject in all respects to the terms and
 

9


conditions of this Plan, which are controlling. All Options granted pursuant to this section shall vest in five equal annual installments with the first installment vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Director maintaining Continuous Service with the Corporation or its Affiliates since the date of grant.
