EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
An Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, only within the
period specified in the grant of the Option, which period shall not extend
beyond the date five (5) years after the date of the grant. A Participant shall
exercise an Option by delivering to the Company written notice which states such
intention and the number of Shares to be acquired thereby and by making payment
for such Shares to the Company at its principal office. Upon the exercise of an
Option by a Participant in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, and
upon receipt by the Company of payment for the Shares acquired under such
Option, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Participant a
certificate or certificates registered in the name of such Participant for the
number of Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option; provided,
however, that in no event shall any Shares be issued pursuant to the exercise of
an Option until full payment therefor shall have been made by cash or certified
check, and the Participant shall not exercise any rights with respect to such
Shares until they have been issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of
payment for the Shares by cash or certified check, the Compensation Committee
may, in its absolute discretion, permit payment for the Shares to be made by any
other method it deems acceptable and which is in compliance with Kansas law.

Upon the delivery of a Share certificate pursuant to the exercise of an
Option by a Participant in compliance with the provisions hereof, a notation
shall be made on the back of the grant of Option which was exercised in whole or
in part indicating the number of Shares acquired, the date of acquisition, and
the total purchase price paid. Such notation shall be initialed by the
Participant and by the President of the Company at the closing of such sale.
PARTIAL EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, an Option may be
exercised in part by a Participant only upon the following conditions:
- Only one (1) partial exercise of an Option may be made by each
Participant during any calendar quarter; and
- Each partial exercise of any Option must result in the
acquisition of at least 300 Shares.
RESTRICTION ON DISPOSITION OF SHARES
All Options and Shares obtained through any Options shall be
subject to the Stockholders' Agreement and all dispositions of Shares (or
Options) shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the
Stockholders' Agreement.
RIGHT TO PURCHASE / TERMINATION OF OPTIONS
The Company's Board shall have the ability, in its sole discretion, to
terminate all non- exercised Options and/or purchase all or any portion of the
Shares purchased by a non-employee organizer or non-employee director pursuant
to the exercise of an Option at any time if the Board reasonably believes that
the non-employee organizer or non-employee director or former director is in any
way negatively affecting the reputation of the Company or any of the Company's
subsidiaries. Prior to the termination and/or purchase, the Company shall send
written notice to
9
the non-employee organizer or non-employee director or former director demanding
the non- employee organizer or non-employee director or former director cease
all actions or inactions which the Company's Board reasonably believes is
negatively affecting the reputation of the Company or any of the Company's
subsidiaries. The Company believes that actions which will negatively affect the
reputation of the Company and/or the Company's subsidiaries, include, but are
not limited to, a director or organizer or former director or organizer who
serves as director or advisor to another financial institution or makes a
statement which criticizes the Company, or the Company's management, or a
Company's subsidiary, or the management of a Company's subsidiary. If, after the
written notice, the non-employee organizer or non-employee director or former
director fails to cease all such actions or inactions which the Company's Board
reasonably believes is negatively affecting the reputation of the Company or any
of the Company's subsidiaries, the Company's Board may terminate all
non-exercised Options and/or purchase all or any portion of the Shares purchased
by a non-employee organizer or non- employee director pursuant to the exercise
of an Option. The purchase price to be paid by the Company for such Shares
pursuant to this Paragraph shall be the Fair Market Value thereof as of the date
of the exercise of the right provided for herein. The Company shall pay for such
Shares in cash or by certified check within thirty (30) days after the
determination of the Fair Market Value of such Shares, but not until the
Participant has delivered to the Company the Shares properly endorsed and free
of any encumbrances.
ADJUSTMENT
In the event Enterbank declares a stock dividend, or in the event of
any reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition, separation,
recapitalization, stock-split, combination or exchange of Shares, or like
adjustment, the number of Shares and the class of shares subject to
10
any Option granted pursuant to this Plan, and the Option price to be paid
thereafter, shall be adjusted by appropriate changes in this Plan and in any
Options outstanding pursuant to this Plan. Any such adjustment to the Plan or to
the Options or to the Option prices shall be made by action of the Compensation
Committee, and the determination of the Compensation Committee with respect
thereto shall be conclusive.
All provisions of this Plan, including without limitation all rights
and restrictions concerning sale, transfer or other disposition of Shares, shall
apply with equal force and effect to any additional Shares or different class of
shares made subject to any Option granted pursuant to this Plan as a result of
an adjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof. Such additional Shares
or different class of shares shall be treated in all respects as Shares
originally subject to the provisions of this Plan.

Company's subsidiaries or any non-employee organizer or director in any way to:

shareholder of the Company any rights whatsoever to inspect
the financial statements or books of record of the Company;

implied, that the Company or any of the Company's
subsidiaries will retain a Participant in any particular
position or at any particular rate of remuneration and for
any particular period of time.

The Board of Directors of the Company may terminate or amend this
Plan at any time; provided, however, that any such termination or amendment
shall not alter, amend, discontinue, revoke or otherwise impair any outstanding
Options previously granted pursuant to this Plan which remain unexercised.
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
If any law, regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or
any regulation of any other commission or agency shall require the Company or a
Participant to take any action with respect to the Shares acquired by the
exercise of an Option, the date upon which the Company shall deliver or cause to
be delivered the certificate or certificates for the Shares so acquired shall be
postponed until full compliance has been made with all such requirements of such
law or regulation. Further, at or before the time of the delivery of the Shares
acquired by the exercise of an Option, each Participant shall deliver to the
Company a written statement that he intends to hold the Shares so acquired for
investment and not with a view to resale or other distribution to the public. In
addition, in the event the Company shall determine that, in compliance with the
Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable statutes or regulations, it is
necessary to register any of the Shares or to qualify any such Shares for an
exemption from any
12
of the requirements of said Act or any other law, the Company shall take such
action at its own expense, and not until such action has been completed shall
such Shares be delivered to the Participant exercising the Option.
