This Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 18th day of July, 2002, by and between Nevada Security Bank, a Nevada corporation (the “Bank”), and Xxx Xxxxxxxx (“Optionee”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Nevada Security Bank 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto, the Board of Directors of the Bank has authorized granting to Optionee, a nonqualified stock option to purchase all or any part of Twenty-Two Thousand Five Hundred, (22,500) authorized but unissued shares of the Bank’s common stock for cash at the price of Ten Dollars and No Cents ($10.00) per share, such option to be for the term and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed:

1.             Grant of Option.  Pursuant to said action of the Board of Directors and pursuant to authorizations granted by all appropriate regulatory and governmental agencies, the Bank hereby grants to Optionee the option to purchase, upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated in full herein by this reference, all or any part of Twenty-Two Thousand Five Hundred, (22,500) shares of the Bank’s common stock (hereinafter called “Common Stock”) at the price of Ten Dollars and No Cents ($10.00) per share, which price is not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of action of the Board of Directors granting this option.

1

2.             Exercisability.  This option shall be exercisable as to:

4,500 Shares		Upon Grant, July 18, 2002
4,500 Shares		After July 18, 2003
4,500 Shares		After July 18, 2004
4,500 Shares		After July 18, 2005
4,500 Shares		After July 18, 2006

This option shall remain exercisable as to all of such shares until July 18, 2012 (but not later than ten (10) years from the date this option is granted) unless this option has expired or terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions hereof.  Shares as to which this option becomes exercisable pursuant to the foregoing provision may be purchased at any time prior to expiration of this option.

3.             Exercise of Option.  This option may be exercised by written notice delivered to the Bank stating the number of shares with respect to which this option is being exercised, together with cash or qualifying shares of the Bank’s stock, as applicable,  in the amount of the purchase price of such shares.  Not less than one (1) share may be purchased at any one time, and in no event may the option be exercised with respect to fractional shares. Upon exercise, Optionee shall be responsible for providing Bank with that information necessary for the payment of any federal and state taxes then due, as provided in the Plan.   Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Plan, benefits in the form of payment of taxes by the Bank shall not be payable under this section or under the Plan to the extent the benefit would be an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended

4.             Cessation of Directorship or Employment.  Except as provided in Paragraphs 2 and 5 hereof, if Optionee shall cease to be a director or an employee of the Bank or a subsidiary corporation for any reason other than Optionee’s death or disability [as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”)], this

2

option shall expire three (3) months thereafter.  During the three (3) month period this option shall be exercisable only as to those installments, if any, which had accrued as of the date when the Optionee ceased to be a director or an employee of the Bank or a subsidiary corporation.

5.             Termination of Employment for Cause.  If Optionee is an employee of the Bank or a subsidiary corporation and Optionee’s employment with the Bank or a subsidiary corporation is terminated for cause, this option shall expire immediately, unless reinstated by the Board of Directors within thirty (30) days of such termination by giving written notice of such reinstatement to Optionee at his or her last known address.  In the event of such reinstatement, Optionee may exercise this option only to such extent, for such time, and upon such terms and conditions as if Optionee had ceased to be an employee of the Bank or a subsidiary corporation upon the date of such termination for a reason other than cause, death or disability.  Termination for cause shall include, but not be limited to, termination for malfeasance or gross misfeasance in the performance of duties or conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude, and, in any event, the determination of the Board of Directors with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive.

6.             Nontransferability; Death or Disability of Optionee.  This option shall not be transferable except by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during Optionee’s lifetime only by Optionee.  If Optionee dies while serving as a director or an employee of the Bank or a subsidiary corporation, or during the three (3) month period referred to in Paragraph 4 hereof, this option shall expire one (1) year after the date of Optionee’s death or on the day specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, whichever is earlier.  After Optionee’s death but before such expiration, the persons to whom Optionee’s rights under this option shall have passed by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or the executor or administrator of Optionee’s estate shall have the right to exercise this option as to those shares for which installments had accrued under Paragraph 2 hereof as of the date on which Optionee ceased to be a director or an employee of the Bank or a subsidiary corporation.

If Optionee terminates his or her directorship or employment because of disability, Optionee may exercise this option to the extent he or she is entitled to do so at the date of

3

termination, at any time within one (1) year of the date of termination, or before the expiration date specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, whichever is earlier.

7.             Employment.  This Agreement shall not obligate the Bank or a subsidiary corporation to employ Optionee for any period, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Bank or a subsidiary corporation to reduce Optionee’s compensation.

8.             Privileges of Stock Ownership.  Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the Common Stock subject to this option until the date of issuance of stock certificates to Optionee.  Except as provided in the Plan, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificates are issued.

9.             Modification and Termination.  The rights of Optionee are subject to modification and termination upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in Sections 13 and 14 of the Plan.

10.          Notification of Sale.  Optionee agrees that Optionee, or any person acquiring shares upon exercise of this option, will notify the Bank not more than five (5) days after any sale or other disposition of such shares.  No shares issuable upon the exercise of this option shall be issued and delivered unless and until the Bank has fully complied with all applicable requirements of any regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the Bank, and all applicable requirements of any exchange upon which the Common Stock of the Bank may be listed.

11.          Notices.  Any notice to the Bank provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed to it in care of its President at its main office and any notice to Optionee shall be addressed to Optionee’s address on file with the Bank or a subsidiary corporation, or to such other address as either may designate to the other in writing.  Any notice shall be deemed to be duly given if and when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope and addressed as stated above and deposited, postage prepaid, with the United States Postal Service.  In lieu of giving notice by mail as aforesaid, any written notice under this Agreement may be given to Optionee in person, and to the Bank by personal delivery to its President.
