10. Termination of Option and Accelerated Vesting.

This Option will terminate upon the expiration date, except as set forth in the following provisions:

(ii) Disability. This Option will become exercisable as to all shares subject to the Option, whether or not then exercisable, in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of the Participant’s Disability. This Option may thereafter be exercised for a period of one (1) year from the date of such Termination of Service by reason of Disability, subject to termination on the Option’s expiration date, if earlier.

(iii) Termination for Cause. If the Participant’s Termination of Service is for Cause, all Options that have not been exercised will expire and be forfeited.

(iv) Change in Control. In the event of the Participant’s Involuntary Termination of Employment following a Change in Control, all Options held by the Participant, whether or not exercisable at such time, will become fully exercisable, subject to the expiration provisions otherwise applicable to the Option.

(vii) Incentive Option Treatment. No Option will be eligible for treatment as an ISO in the event such Option is exercised more than three (3) months following Termination of Service by reason of Retirement or more than one (1) year following Termination of Service by reason of Disability. In order to obtain ISO treatment for Options exercised by heirs or devisees of the Participant, the Participant’s death must have occurred while the Participant was employed or within three (3) months of Termination of Service.

11. Miscellaneous.

11.1 No Option will confer upon the Participant any rights as a stockholder of the Bank prior to the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions for receipt of such rights.

Participant’s signature

* If I elect to exercise by exchanging shares I already own, I will constructively return shares that I already own to purchase the new option shares. If my shares are in certificate form, I must attach a separate statement indicating the certificate number of the shares I am treating as having exchanged. If the shares are held in “street name” by a registered broker, I must provide the Bank with a notarized statement attesting to the number of shares owned that will be treated as having been exchanged. I will keep the shares that I already own and treat them as if they are shares acquired by the option exercise. In addition, I will receive additional shares equal to the difference between the shares I constructively exchange and the total new option shares that I acquire.
