The Retiring Participant acknowledges and agrees that once the Retiring Participant provides written notice to the Company of his or her intent to retire, the Retiring Participant shall no longer be eligible to receive any additional grants under the Plan.

By execution of this Agreement (whether by electronic means or handwritten signature), the Participant (or Retiring Participant as applicable) agrees to the following:

(i)Confidential Information.

(1)Definition of Confidential Information. The Participant acknowledges that the Company would not provide the Participant with access to its Confidential Information or grant the Awarded Units but for the Participant’s covenants or promises contained in this Section 5.b. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean the Company’s (for purposes of this Section 5.b., the “Company” shall include both the Company and Texas Capital Bank’s (“TCB”)) unique concepts, lending practices, sales presentations, marketing programs, marketing strategies, business practices, methods of operation, pricing information, cost information, trademarks, licenses, technical information, proprietary information, computer software programs, computer tapes and disks concerning its operations systems, customer lists, customer leads, customer loan and financial information, documents identifying past, present and future customers, customer profiles and preference data, hiring and training methods, investment policies, financial and other confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information concerning the Company’s operations and expansion plans. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information about the Company’s business, proprietary, and technical information that is not known to others and could have economic value to others if improperly disclosed. Confidential Information also means any information the Company discloses to the Participant, either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible objects, including, without limitation, information and technical data contained in the Company’s manuals, booklets, publications and materials, equipment

of every kind and character, as well as documents, prototypes, samples, prospects, inventions, product ideas, know how, processes, plans (including, without limitation, marketing plans and strategies), specifications, designs, techniques, technology, formulas, software, improvements, forecasts, and research. Confidential Information does not include any information that has become generally available to the public by the act of one who has the right to disclose such information without violating any right or privilege of the Company. The Participant’s obligations under this Section 5 regarding specific Confidential Information shall cease when that specific portion of the Confidential Information loses its status as Confidential Information.

(2)Access to and Agreement Not To Disclose Confidential Information. During the Participant’s employment with Company, the Company agrees to provide the Participant with some or all of the Company’s Confidential Information to which the Participant has not had previous access or knowledge. By executing this Agreement, the Participant agrees that the Confidential Information constitutes valuable, special and unique assets of the Company, developed at the Company’s great expense, the unauthorized use or disclosure of which would cause irreparable harm to the Company. The Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company is engaged in a specialized and competitive industry; that the Company relies heavily on information, data, programs, and processes it has developed and acquired; and that competitors can reap potential or real economic benefits from the possession of the Confidential Information that is otherwise not available to its competitors. The Participant understands and acknowledges, therefore, that the protection of the Company’s Confidential Information constitutes a legitimate business interest of the Company. The Participant acknowledges that the Confidential Information is the Company’s exclusive property, and the Participant will hold the Confidential Information in trust and solely for the Company’s benefit. The Participant further acknowledges that portions of the Confidential Information constitute “trade secrets” under Texas and federal law and, in addition to the other protections provided in this Agreement, all trade secrets will be accorded the protection and benefits under Texas law, federal law, and any other applicable law.

In exchange for the Company’s promise to provide the Participant with some or all of the Company’s Confidential Information to which the Participant has not previously had access or knowledge, the Participant agrees that he or she will not, either during the period of the Participant’s employment with the Company or at any time thereafter, use or rely upon for the Participant’s benefit or the benefit of another, or disclose, disseminate, or distribute to anyone, including, without limitation, any individual, person, firm, corporation, or other entity, or publish, or use for any purpose, any of the Confidential Information (whether acquired, learned, obtained, or developed by the Participant alone or in conjunction with others), except (A) as properly required in the ordinary course of the

Company’s business or as the Company directs and authorizes or; (B) as required by applicable law (if, to the extent reasonable and practicable, reasonable prior notice of such disclosure is given to the Company). The Participant agrees that he or she will take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid unauthorized disclosure and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information. The Participant also agrees to notify the Company immediately in the event of any unauthorized use, reliance upon or disclosure of the Company’s Confidential Information of which the Participant is aware.

(3)Use of Confidential Information During Employment. The Participant further agrees that in the course of his or her employment by the Company, the Participant will not remove from any office of the Company any documents, electronically stored information, or related items that contain Confidential Information, including, without limitation, computer discs, recordings, or other storage or archival systems or devices, including copies, except as may be required in the performance of the Participant’s duties as an employee of the Company. The Participant also agrees that he or she will not place or save any Confidential Information on any computer or electronic storage system that is not the Company’s property. All Confidential Information, and all memoranda, notes, records, drawings, documents, or other writings whatsoever made, compiled, acquired, or received by the Participant at any time during his or her employment, including during the term of this Agreement, arising out of, in connection with, or related to any activity or business of the Company, including, without limitation, the customers, vendors, third parties, or others with whom the Company has a business relationship, the arrangements of the Company with such parties, and the pricing and expansion policies and strategy of the Company, are, and shall continue to be, the Company’s sole and exclusive property.

(ii)No Solicitation of Employees/Customers. The Participant agrees that during the Restricted Period, the Participant will not, alone or in combination with any individual, partner(s), company, corporation, or other entity or business with which he is in any way affiliated, including, without limitation, any partner, limited partner, member, director, officer, shareholder, employee, or agent of any such entity, recruit, solicit, request, induce or attempt to influence, directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company to resign or terminate employment with the Company. The Participant agrees that during the Restricted Period, he or she shall not, directly or indirectly, as an owner, stockholder, director, employee, partner, agent, broker, consultant or other participant solicit a customer or prospective customer, or accept any business from a customer or prospective customer with whom he or she has done business or with whom he or she has had contact during the last 12 months of the Participant’s employment with the Company.

(1)For purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Period” means during the Participant’s employment with the Company, and a period equal to the longer of (i) the one year period after the date the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, or (ii) as set forth in Section 3.e.(i), in the event the

Awarded Units vest in accordance with Section 3.e. above, the remaining vesting period; provided, however, that the Restricted Period for a Participant on Garden Leave in accordance with Section 7, shall commence on the first day of the Garden Leave and continue for a period of twelve (12) months from that date.

(iii)Return of Materials. The Participant agrees that he or she will not retain or destroy (except as set forth below), and will immediately return to the Company on or prior to the Participant’s termination date, or at any other time the Company requests such return, any and all property of the Company that is in the Participant’s possession or subject to his or her control, including, but not limited to, customer files and information, papers, drawings, notes, manuals, specifications, designs, devices, code, email, documents, diskettes, CDs, tapes, keys, access cards, credit cards, identification cards, equipment, computers, mobile devices, other electronic media, all other files and documents relating to the Company and its business (regardless of form, but specifically including all electronic files and data of the Company), together with all Confidential Information belonging to the Company or that the Participant received from or through his or her employment with the Company. The Participant will not make, distribute, or retain copies of any such information or property. To the extent that the Participant has electronic files or information in his possession or control that belong to the Company or otherwise contain Confidential Information (specifically including but not limited to electronic files or information stored on personal computers, mobile devices, electronic media, or in cloud storage), on or prior to the Participant’s termination date, or at any other time the Company requests, the Participant shall (1) provide the Company with an electronic copy of all of such files or information (in an electronic format that readily accessible by the Company); (2) after doing so, delete all such files and information, including all copies and derivatives thereof, from all non-Company-owned computers, mobile devices, electronic media, cloud storage, and other media, devices, and equipment, such that such files and information are permanently deleted and irretrievable; and (3) provide a written certification to the Company that the required deletions have been completed and specifying the files and information deleted and the media source from which they were deleted.

(iv)Reasonableness; Notification. The Participant acknowledges that the geographic boundaries, scope of prohibited activities and the duration of the provisions in Section 3.e.(i) and this Section 5.b are reasonable and are no broader than are necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests. The provisions of Section 3.e.(i) and this Section 5.b shall survive the termination of the Participant’s employment and can be revoked or modified only by a writing signed by the parties that specifically states an intent to revoke or modify this provision. The Participant acknowledges that the Company would not provide him or her with access to its Confidential Information but for his or her covenants or promises contained in Section 3.e.(i) and this Section 5.b. The Participant further agrees that during the Restricted Period, he or she shall immediately notify the Company in writing of any employment, work, or business he or she undertakes with or on behalf of any person (including himself or herself) or entity.

(v)Injunctive Relief. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s obligations, covenants, and agreements in Sections 3.e.(i) and 5.b.(i)-(iii) concern special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms

of these agreements, covenants or obligations will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies at law are not available. Therefore, the Participant agrees that the Company, in addition to any amounts that the Company is entitled to pursuant to Section 5.a. above, will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order, or all other equitable relief as a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain the Participant from committing any violation of the agreements, covenants or obligations referred to in Sections 3.e.(i) and 5.b.(i)-(iii). The Participant waives any requirement that the Company post a bond or other security should the need arise.

(vi)Attorneys’ Fees. If the parties become involved in legal action regarding the enforcement of the Protective Covenants, the prevailing party in such action will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy, to recover from the non-prevailing party its/his/her reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action.

(vii)Disclosures to Courts, Governmental Agencies or Administrative or Legislative Bodies. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other agreement regarding confidentiality with the Company, the Participant may disclose Confidential Information when required to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction, by any governmental agency having authority over the Participant or the business of the Company or by any administrative body or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to order the Participant to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to interfere with the Participant’s right to (1) report possible violations of state or federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, (2) make other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation, (3) file a claim or charge with any government agency or entity, or (4) testify, assist, or participate in an investigation, hearing, or proceeding conducted by any government or law enforcement agency, entity or court.

(viii)Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016. The Participant is hereby notified in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 that the Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (1) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. The Participant is further notified that if the Participant files a lawsuit for retaliation against the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Participant may disclose the Company’s trade secrets to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Participant: (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

6.Non-Disparagement. The Participant agrees that during the Restricted Period, the Participant shall not make, publish or communicate to any person or entity or in any public forum (including social media) any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments or statements concerning the Company or any of its products, services, affiliates, directors, officers, or employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision does not in any way limit, restrict, or impede any of the Participant’s rights that are expressly reserved in Section 5(vii) and (viii), or in any way limit the Participant’s ability to

provide truthful testimony or information in response to a subpoena, court or arbitral order, or valid request by a government entity, or as otherwise required by law.

7.Notice Regarding Resignation of Employment.

a.The Participant agrees that in the event the Participant decides to resign from his or her employment with the Company for any reason, the Participant will give the Company at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of such resignation (the “Notice Period”), and the Participant shall be deemed to have forfeited all of the Participant’s Unvested Units as of the first day of the Notice Period.

b.Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may, in its sole discretion, (i) accept Participant’s resignation early and terminate Participant’s employment at any time during the Notice Period without any further obligation whatsoever to the Participant other than payment of wages due through the date of termination; (ii) relieve the Participant of his or her duties and responsibilities or exclude the Participant from any of the premises of the Company, or both during the Notice Period or any portion thereof (“Garden Leave”); and/or (iii) permit the Participant to continue his or her duties and responsibilities during the Notice Period or any portion thereof (the “Active Notice Period”).

17.The Participant’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that the Company will not be obligated to register any shares of Common Stock in the Participant’s name or issue any shares of Common Stock to the Participant hereunder, if the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination by the Company under this Section 17 shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Participant are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

18.Investment Representation. Unless the shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant in a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by his or her execution hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company that all Common Stock which may be acquired hereunder will be acquired by the Participant for investment purposes for his or her own account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal or states securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

19.Law Governing; Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas (excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle of Texas law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this agreement to the laws of another state).

The parties further agree that the courts listed above are convenient forums for any dispute that may arise herefrom and that neither party shall raise as a defense that such courts are not convenient forums.

20.No Right to Continue Service or Employment.

21.Legal Construction. In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement that is contained in this Agreement. If any of the provisions of Section 5.b should ever be held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to exceed the scope permitted by the applicable law, such provision or provisions shall be automatically modified to such lesser scope as such court or arbitrator may deem just and proper for the reasonable protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests and may be enforced by the Company to that extent in the manner described above and all other provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable.

22.Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements. Each of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement.

1.Recoupment. The Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees, with respect to the Awarded Units and any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Participant (or registered in the

Participant’s name) pursuant to this Agreement, that such Awarded Units and any shares of Common Stock issued hereunder shall be subject to recovery by the Company, and the Participant shall be required to forfeit the Awarded Units or repay such compensation or shares of Common Stock, in accordance with the Company’s Recoupment Policy, as in effect from time to time. The Participant further acknowledges, understands, and agrees that the Board retains the right to modify the Company’s Recoupment Policy at any time.

2.Arbitration.

a.The parties agree that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any controversy or claim of any party arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, the breach thereof, the Participant’s employment with the Company or the termination thereof shall be settled by final, and binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas, in accordance with any Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement (“DRAA”) between the parties or if there is not a DRAA between the parties in accordance with the Arbitration Agreement below; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude the Company or the Participant from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy, including without limitation any controversy under this Agreement. The court to which the application is made is authorized to grant temporary or preliminary injunctive relief and may do so with or without addressing the merits of the underlying arbitrable dispute, as provided by applicable law. However, all determinations of final relief will be decided in arbitration, and the pursuit of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief shall not be deemed incompatible with or constitute a waiver of rights under the Arbitration Agreement.

“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”: IF THE PARTIES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO A DRAA, PARTICIPANT AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DISPUTES, PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO: (i) THIS AGREEMENT, (ii) ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THEM, OR (iii) PARTICIPANT’S EMPLOYMENT AND SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY, WILL BE DECIDED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION AND NOT BY A JUDGE OR JURY under the then-current Employment Arbitration Rules of the AAA for individually negotiated agreements (“AAA Rules”); provided however, that if there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. The AAA Rules may be found at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxx or by searching for “AAA Employment Arbitration Rules” using a service such as xxx.Xxxxxx.xxx. The provisions set forth herein, including all waivers included herein, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act. If a court determines the FAA does not apply to a particular dispute or to one or both parties, the parties agree that the Texas Arbitration Act (“TAA”) will apply and acknowledge that the Company is based in Texas. If neither the FAA or TAA apply, the parties stipulate and agree the arbitration law of the jurisdiction where the arbitration will take place will apply. The Company and Participant waive any right for any dispute to be brought, heard, decided, or arbitrated as a class action or collective action, and the arbitrator will have no authority to preside over any class or collective action (“Class Action Waiver”). The following claims and disputes are not covered under this Arbitration Agreement: (i) Workers’ Compensation benefit claims (but workers’ compensation discrimination or retaliation is covered); (ii) state unemployment or disability insurance compensation claims; and (iii) disputes that may not be arbitrated or subject to pre-dispute

arbitration as expressly provided by Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other controlling federal statute.”

b.FINRA Registered Representatives or Associated Persons. This Section applies to Registered Representatives or Associated Persons, as classified pursuant to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). To the maximum extent allowed by law, Registered Representatives or Associated Persons, as classified by FINRA, and the Company waive FINRA Rule 13200 (or any successor rule) and agree that any dispute arising out of or related to Your application and selection for employment, employment, and/or termination of employment shall be arbitrated pursuant to this Agreement—and not in a FINRA arbitral forum.

c.FINRA Exception. If the above waiver of FINRA 13200 is deemed invalid or unenforceable, arbitration between the Company and Registered Representatives or Associated Persons, as classified pursuant to FINRA, will be administered by FINRA in individual, bilateral arbitration in accordance with its Code of Arbitration Procedure for Industry Disputes and the FINRA Rules; provided, however, Participant and the Company waive any right to commence, be a party to or an actual or putative class member of any class or collective action arising out of or relating to Participant’s employment with the Company, and agree that any dispute must be arbitrated on an individual, bilateral basis. Additionally, if (1) FINRA declines to hear an arbitration of a dispute between the Company and a Registered Representative or Associated Person, and/or (2) if a claim or dispute is deemed not arbitrable under the FINRA Rules or Code of Arbitration Procedure for Industry Disputes, such disputes shall be resolved in individual arbitration in accordance with this Agreement—including without limitation, the Class and Collective Action Waivers section.

30.Waiver of Jury Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON, THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR OR, AS PERMITTED BY SECTION 31 ABOVE, A JUDGE HEARING A PETITION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. THEREFORE, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER.

31.Tax Requirements. The Participant is hereby advised to consult immediately with his or her own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any possible tax consequences of this Agreement in connection with Section 409A of the Code. The Company, or if applicable, any Subsidiary (for purposes of this Section 33, the term “Company” shall be deemed to include any applicable Subsidiary) has the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the vesting or conversion of the RSUs. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time the Award is granted or thereafter, the Company shall satisfy any such withholding requirement by withholding the number of Awarded Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the amount required to be withheld for tax purposes.

32.Section 409A.

a.To the extent (i) any shares of Common Stock to which the Participant becomes entitled under this Agreement, or any agreement or plan referenced herein, in connection with the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code (“Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation”); (ii) the Participant is deemed at the time of his or her separation from service to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code; and (iii) at the time of the Participant’s separation from service the Company is publicly traded (as defined in Section 409A of the Code), then such shares of Common Stock (other than any delivery of Common Stock permitted by Section 409A of the Code to be paid or delivered within six months of the Participant’s separation from service) shall not be made until the earlier of (x) the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service or (y) the date of the Participant’s death following such separation from service. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any shares of Common Stock which would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this Section 34 (together with, as applicable, accrued interest thereon) shall be delivered to the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary in one lump sum.

b.To the extent any shares of Common Stock to which the Participant becomes entitled under this Agreement, or any agreement or plan referenced herein, in connection with the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company constitutes Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, a Termination of Service shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a Termination of Service unless such termination is also a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code).

c.It is intended that this Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code so as to not subject the Participant to the payment of additional interest and taxes under Section 409A of the Code, and in furtherance of this intent, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions.

EXHIBIT A

The Awarded Units shall vest in accordance with the following schedule (60% based on ROTCE (the “ROTCE Units”) and 40% based on Relative TSR (the “TSR Units”), as outlined below):

1.For purposes of this Exhibit A and the Agreement, unless the context requires otherwise, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

a.“ROTCE” shall mean Return on Tangible Common Equity.

b.“Relative TSR” shall mean the Company's Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of the Peer Group. Relative TSR will be determined by ranking the Company and the component companies of the Peer Group from highest to lowest according to their respective TSRs.

c.“Performance Period” shall mean the period commencing on and including January 1, 2024, and ending on December 31, 2026.

“Peer Group” shall be the companies constituting the S&P Regional Banks Select Industry Index as of the beginning of the Performance Period (each, a “Peer Group Company”), subject to the following potential adjustments;

(i)In the event that a merger, acquisition or business combination of a Peer Group Company by or with another Peer Group Company is consummated during the Performance Period, then the entity that survives as a result of such merger, acquisition, or business combination will be considered a Peer Group Company for the Performance Period.

(ii)In the event that a merger, acquisition or business combination of a Peer Group Company by or with an entity that is not a Peer Group Company is consummated during the Performance Period, and such Peer Group Company is the entity that survives such merger, acquisition, or business combination, then such Peer Group Company will continue to be considered a Peer Group Company for the Performance Period.

(iii)If during the applicable Performance Period (a) a Peer Group Company ceases to be a public company by becoming a private company through the “going dark” process, (b) a Peer Group Company delists, or (c) a merger, acquisition or business combination of a Peer Group Company by or with an entity that is not a Peer Group Company is consummated, and such Peer Group Company is not the entity that survives such merger, acquisition, or business combination, then such Peer Group Company shall be removed from the Peer Group for all periods after the Peer Group Company ceases to be a public company.

(iv)If during the applicable Performance Period a Peer Group Company files a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or liquidation under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or enters receivership by the FDIC, such Peer Group Company shall remain the Peer Group; provided,

however, that, for purposes of this Agreement, TSR for such Peer Group Company(ies) will be negative one hundred percent (-100%).

(v)The Compensation Committee shall have the authority to make other appropriate adjustments in response to a change in circumstances that results in a Peer Group Company no longer satisfying the criteria for which such company was originally selected, including lowering such Peer Group Company’s rank for purposes of determining Relative TSR.

2.Subject to paragraph 4 below, upon the achievement of the average ROTCE for the Performance Period, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, the ROTCE Units shall be eligible to vest as follows:


ROTCE			Payout %
[]			200%
[]			100% - 199.9%
[]			50% - 99.9%
[]			0%

3.Subject to paragraph 4 below, upon the achievement of the Relative TSR by the Company versus Peer Group during the Performance Period, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, the TSR Units shall be eligible to vest based upon the Company’s ranking within its Peer Group as follows:


Rank within Peer Group Based on Relative TSR			% Vested and Payout
[]			200%
[]			100%-199.9%
[]			50%-99.9%
[]			0%

4. Achievement of the performance goals set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Exhibit A shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

a.Payouts between performance levels shall be linear; provided, that in no event shall the payout percentage exceed 200% (maximum payout).

b.Notwithstanding the criteria in the table in paragraph 3 of this Exhibit A, in the event the Company’s TSR over the Performance Period is negative, the Payout for the portion of the award that is earned based on Relative TSR shall not exceed 100%.

Page 2 of 3

c.All performance metrics assume that no capital raises occur during the Performance Period. If a capital raise occurs during the Performance Period, performance may be adjusted to exclude the effects of the capital raise.

d.The Committee will review potential adjustments to achievement of the performance metrics based on Federal Funds Rate changes or any other material changes and/or impacts, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

5. By way of example, assume (i) 50 Performance-Based Units, (ii) ROTCE for the Performance Period was achieved at 100% payout level%, and (iii) Relative TSR for the Performance Period was achieved at the 100% payout level. Provided that the conditions set forth in Section 3.a.(i) of the Agreement and paragraph 4 of this Exhibit A have been met, the Participant would be entitled to:

a.100% of the ROTCE Units at 100% payout [for example purposes only, 60% x 50 units are ROTCE Units (or 30 units) and to calculate vesting, based on the hypothetical performance, it would be 30 units x 100% for a total number of 30 vested ROTCE Units]; and

b.100% of the TSR Units [for example purposes only, 40% x 50 units are TSR Units (or 20 units) and to calculate vesting, based on the hypothetical performance, it would be 20 units x 100% for a total number of 20 vested TSR Units].
